The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
Passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons
conversant with the Wan I of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montege Bay and King-
ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on
the route, amount to nearly W. 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 line 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 King-
ston, 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, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port Maria,
St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego
Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will he formed
between the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most predictive portion of the
island.

Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost
level ; while the 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 ar-
ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, 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 dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again
be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety

The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction_
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material*
necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, fke., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ;
—the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction
of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased.

Notice is hereby given, that no further application for shares in

Colebrook Dale, and approaching In its course Weill!
enters IVhitchurch. From this central place a brand
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with tin
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from V
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern I
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable annunt of revenue will
tar and Chester Railway may be expected to yield,
profit present themselves, such are the dense populatii
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching we..
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
time China manufactories of Wercester, , the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural proiuoo
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages arc also
obvious. The lino traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. Tho resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;--its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half-
way station of the London and Portdynnllaen broad gauge line :
by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west-
ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, ea.V.ward, to Warwick and
.Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln,
and Hull.
The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may
be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
stance favourable—that the geological strueVire of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line if com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated en its proposed
course.
Applications for prospectuses and plans may be made, and forms
of application for shares had at the: offices of Messrs. Potter and
