While two gigantic projects are struggling for victory, which, if
obtained, wotfid,inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy
population between Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln and
Leeds, are left unsupplled with railway accommodation. Not less
ambitious of accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of
the Lincoln, York, dnd Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin-
coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with
152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating upon the ulti-
mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from
London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design.
Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gainshorougl, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Haxey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange-
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Elsecar and Silkstone—a species not inferior to that of Dur-
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes.
Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city
of York. •

At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means
of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole lino
to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible.
This lino will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln
and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and
Hull.

The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
15% feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it he
taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will
everywhere b 3 light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces-
sary; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project.
_ _

From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now In the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
Immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.
