It ls proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao,
the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade,
and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to
lay down such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved
of by the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles.
There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra-
dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water-
power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated
that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,000/. ; and, when it is
considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and
the conveyance of goods between the chief port atid the capital of
•••• t !,:ny fairly be assumed that the undertaking will be, one of

no no-tiler portion of the capital will lie called

Provisionally Ecglstarod.
The object of this Line is to maker short and direct communica-
tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmoadwike, and Dewsbury,
With Barnsley, Sheffield, and all intermediate places to London. By
the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnslay passengers
and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of 121{2 miles
from Barnsley, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of
at least 20 Miles, or by the Leeds and Manchester Line to Brighouse,
a distancoi-of at least 20 miles, making the total distance from Barnsley
to Bradford, by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42
miles. The distance from Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present
Railway, is 22 miles. The promoters" this _line propose to com-
mence'tfiiii Railway by a Junctioiswith gto-Nart4,244lland fin at a.
point below Barnsley, to Barns/ey, and from tlienoe in a direct course
to Dewsbury, reserving to themselves the power of making the line
to Bradford through the Clecklieatim Valley, provided the West
Riding Junction and West Yorkshire amalgamated Companies do not
at the next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line.
The line at Dewsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews-
bury Railway, West Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire
Amalgamated Seheinc, and the present Mancstiester and Leeds Rail-
Way, at or near a place called Thomh!ll Lees, 'making the distance, as

The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by
the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, arm I in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, it ATe determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, whidh, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Sharehd tders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little add! tional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with fhe Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without, resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially cot/dieting with the in-
terests of existing companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, And proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to 'Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. Trom a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be tak en to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Man Chester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now b eing formed at Bir-
kenhead.

As Manchester, from its geographical position,. is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dis-
tricts of England, so Chester, from a like cause, Ss the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of li:eland and of Eng-
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial, intercourse of the
country.
This line will be the most direct route, by 2r4lyhead, to Ireland,
and will be, in all respects, by far the preferably channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great. manufacturing dis-
tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester , and South Wales,this will be the nearest - route from Mancbes ter to the south-
western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshlre: The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference, to the snap, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by
Birkenhead; the former being 52 miles, and tihe latter 46 miles,
while the proposed line is only 24 miles, saving 111 the one case 18
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious incoriveniende, loss
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool. and' crossing the
water at that place.

It is confidently expected that this line will lee the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance
'hester an efficient port for large vessls marnelY, to render
vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir Johu Rennie in 183.5, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late 3lr. Chapman, who wrote au
able report upon the capabilities of
nvestigated, In 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practicability of forming a good navigable cgiannel for vesselsof large burden, together with docks at Chester, IrA6 then fully and
clearly established. . the river Doe. It was again

The entrance channel would commence at DawpOoL which is easy
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety, to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps ; and the
'l of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.

This railway, therefore, in connexion with the proposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
bat should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-
mated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
oras standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course 01 11,rinaron for the construction
of a Railway ti ,in the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds.
Ihe line will c muuence by a junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Ralways, and will
terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile ColllleXioll which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of Bury,
and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich. Colchester, and Bury, .
and all that portion of the kingdom a direct communication with the
manufacturing districts.

The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward
of that town to Peterborough, the point at which so many lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge,
will by the Ely and Bury line be ten miles shorter than the route to
that city by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.

EASTER. COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, observ-
ing that, in the Advertisements of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway
Company, it is stated that their particular line is supported and
sanctioned by the Eastern Counties Railway Company, have to an-

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengers and goods from Kingston to 31entego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, Is well known to all persons
conversant with the Islaud of Jamaica.

The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King-
ston occupies forty-four hours, and the costs, including expenses on
the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse
hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole lino will be traversed
in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 30s. per
passenger.

The difference in the freights between the Northern and Southern
sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of
Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed
ports of the east and north of the island.
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the
largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the island ; at or
near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King-
ston and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Tallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chloneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotpa Bay, Port
Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near
Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will
be formed between the most important and populous places, and
facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive por-
tion of the island. _ _ _ _ _

Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of mountains
which run east and west, nearly the length of the island : the eastern
portion, from Port lllorant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while
tho northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into
hills separate from each other .by spacious vales. The whole of the
country traversed by the line abounds in the staple articles of sugar,
coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye woods,
drugs, &c.: and as more than one-third of the land is still uncultivated,
the production of these articles will, by the increased facility for traffic,
be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dye stuffs, at
present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation.
Timber of great variety abounds alone the line ;—besides the pimento
tree, which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, ligmm
vita?, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar, and ether trees of enormous
bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto,
and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, and
cabinet works.

The mineral wealthof the country on the line Is very considerable
lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c. of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the cons'ruc-
lion of this railway, render it highly probable, that a considerable por-
tion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every mate-
rial* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should
the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for
cuttings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant, of the unappropriated land required for the
line, and the free use of air the timber, stone, &c. necessary for its
construction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assem-
bly ;—the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construc-
tion of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be
leased to capitalists for the benefit of the shareholders.
_ _

Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory
estimate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state, that
coals, fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops,
lead, timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and ma-
nufactures generally, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for
the payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon
the shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.
Application for Shares in the annexed Form may be made to the
Provisional Committee, at the Offices of,the Co npany, 43, Moor-
gate-street ; and Messrs. -Elmslie and Preston, solicitors, 47, Moor-
gate-street, London

JAMAICA SOUTHERN, EASTERN, AND
NORTHERN RAILWAY.
Since public attention was drawn to this Railway, several compe-
titors have arisen for a Northern portion of the Line, viz.—that be-
tween Port Maria and Montego Bay; these sprung up during the
present month, in the order in which their names are here given :
The North Midland (second) Extension ; the Western Jamaica
Connecting Company, the promoters of which, changing its line from
the South to the North of the Island, and dropping the word in
italics' calls itself the Western Jamaica ; and, lastly, the North
Jamaica. As none of these schemes, however, pretend to a King-
ston terminus, except through the problematical tunnel, or rather,
longitudinal mine, of the North Midland's first extension, under the
Blue Mountain Range, they cannot be considered prejudicial to the
comprehensive completeness of the Southern, Eastern, and Northern
Line ; and as the same will efficiently supply all the wants of the
country through which it passes, no real competition need be appre-
hended from the pretensions of those who, seemingly without eonsi-
deption, venture so late into a field already occupied. It will be
borne In mind; too, that this line, as a whole, can be worked in a
'befter manner, that is, more usefully and economically under the
management of one company, than if it were cut up into several
petty parts, under the direction of individual heads.
And be it remembered that the usefulness or rathirtiseleisness of
:Th6 above lines competing with this Company, consists merely in
connecting one bad port on the northern coast, with another on the
SAM side of the Island ; and that the freights front either of these
ports will still be considerably higher than those at present charged
from the Southern, Eastern, and Northern's terminal port of King-
ston ; and it is calculated that when this line shall be in operation, a
Natter reduction will be effected, making a diminution in carriage
, and freigbts together of nearly 50 pex cent.
