This proposed railway, While it will Connect the manufacturing towns
of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form
a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow-
ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed
Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines;
and, at the Forfar Terminus, will meet the Scottish Midland Junc-
tion from Edinburgh and Perth, and its proposed extension to the
Aberdeen Railway at Laureneekirk 1 also the Forfar and Arbroath
Railway, which Joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friooklichn— thus
amalgamating with these various rallWayt, and forming a continu-
ous and centrical think fot the general railway communication from
Edgland thrOtigh Scotlaild.
Tale fine will be about fifteen miles in length, and, viewed only as
it local connecting line between Dundee and Forfar, it is in a great
degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of
the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have
a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For-
far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter-
course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac-
turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between
Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district
connected with the line is about 100,000.
. Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping
capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro-
duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com-
munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between
Dundee and Forfar is fully double what It should be, and In a great
measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro-
cess ; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and
cheap communication, and will unquestionab'y benefit the trade and
agriculture of the district.

The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro-
duce of which the farmers will by it find an easy and expeditious
transit to Dundee, both for consumpt and exportation ; and the
agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the
direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and
the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave-
ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be
greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee
for exportation will thus be afforded.

The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic,
the junction with the whole railways before enumerated In con-
nexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in
submitting this undertaking to the public, not only as one necessarily
called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte-
rests of the district, and public conveniency, but more especially by
Its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail-
way communication by the Edinburgh and Nortiern and Glasgow
Junction lines, through the counties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen
and the north of Scotland.

As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus in the midst
of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of
railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect
of being highly advantageous.

The district has already been surveyed, and presents no difficulty
to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants
along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under-
taking. _

The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the
Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing session ; and the
Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute
survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee mid Forfar.

--..--
The Company will have also power by their notices to form the
line by a junction with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway at Broughty
Ferry, if this can be considered consistent with the direct and unin-
terrupted main line of communication from Dundee to Forfar and the
north of Scotland intended by this Company.

will be pleased to consider this as a sufficient aeology for the omission.
