OBSERVATIONS ON THE USES OF RAILWAYS.

IT TIM IMMINGHAM COMMITTEE.

Nothing is mots eandadve to the prosperity of a country than cheep
and expeditious moons si communication. Ilene.: the atleanta4: sr. out-
vigable riven, canals, pod roads, dr.c.
No mode of conveyaaos, either for passengers or Atiods, hitherto ilk-
covered, is equal to that by Railways and Locomotive Steam rang, tea --

—4. In chsmness.
The proof is given by the Stockton and Dulington Railway. aitd ;lye.
cially by that from Liverpool to 3Luichist,r.
1. For easiness and smoothness of rnotior.—you have tl.e testimony of
every cne who has travelled on them. Thry are as superior an these re-
spects to the best turnpike roads, as the beet roads ar: to the worst_
2. For sufeiy.—Upwards of one hundred thousand passengers have
travelled oo tee Liverpool and Manchester Railway since the waddle of
last September. with scarcely an accidem
3 and 4. Foe speed and economy.—Passengers are conveyed between
Liverpool and Manchester in two hours for 4s. 6d. instead sit in tour or
Ave hours by the stage coach. s for ten or twelve shilliegs. Goode and
merchandise of all kinds are conveyed from Liverpool to Manchester
by the Railway in four or five hours, for eleven shilling+ a ton, titst al
'of from chitty-six hours to • week or ten days at 15s. per ton, as by the
water conveyance. The most rapid coaches travel at the rate .1 nine or
ten miles an hour, a speed which in three or tour years destroys the
horses, while the locomotive engines travel regularly from 13 to 211 miles
an hour, and eccasionally with much greater rapidity.
Hence the passage between Landon and Birmingham, 105 milts by
the proposed Railway, will be made in six or seven hours, and between
intermediate places at the same rate.
A gardener in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, or Nerthampt, n.
shire, may send the choicest fruit and vegetables by the Railway, with-
out risk or injury, to Caveat Garden or the Birmingham market.
A fanner may send milk and cream, butter, eggs, poultry. I nib,
veal, sad cattle, either live or dead, as well as every Mod of grain, in a
few hours, and at a very small expense, for the London or the Bir-
mingham markets. He may go himself to superintend his saies, leave
home in the mends' and return the some evening.
As to the injury and inconvenience of deep cuttings, easbanknients,
ate. they may all be estimated Is money, and will be fully compen-
sated.

The utmost endeavours will be made to avoid all molestation to
noblemen and gentlemen's teats near which the proposed line is iumitd-
ed to pass.
The Railway Company has given direction to the Surveyors to spare
so expense foe this purpose. It is always ready and happy to com-
municate with all parties who wish an alteration in the direction of the
Railway.
The Railway will either pass under or over the great roads, never on
the same level, will be carefully fenced every where, and ornamentally
when In sight of gentlemen's residences; the carriages make little noise,
the engines produce no smoke. blest convenient and elegant carriages
will be provided foe Individual passengers and for families, whose
carriages, horses, servants, /cc. may be taken with them on the Rail-
way, ready to drive of from any point at which they say wish to
leave it. _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _

It must be remembered, that three million Capital of the Company
will be spent principally in tabour, dm and for years to come will give
constant employment to great numbers of labourers in all the p &rubes
through which the Railway is to pass.

TERMS UPON WHICH THE CROWN LANDS WILL BC

DIRMAN'S LAND.

It has been determined by his Majesty's Government that no land

rights, is in progress. When that division shall be completed, sack
parish will comprise an area of about twenty-five square miles.
2. All the lands in the colony, not hitherto granted, and not app roe
prated foe public purposes. will be put up to sale. The price Ell; of
course, depend upon the quality of the land, and ha lead enmities, bat
no land will be sold below the rate of five utiiliags per ear.
3. AU persons proposing to purchase lands not advertised for sale,
must transmit a written application to the government, in a certain pre.
scribed foam, which will be delivered at the surveyor-generals office am
all persons applying, on payment of the requisite fee of two still/hiss
and sixpence.
4. Those persons, who are desirous of purchasing, will be allowed to
select, with certain defined limits, such portion. of land as they may
wish to acquire in that meaner. These potions of land will be auver-
thud f r sale for three calendar months, and will thea be roll to the
highest bidder, provided that such bidding shall, at kiwi, au.tiont to the
price fixed by article 2.
A A deposit of ten per cent. upon the whole value of the purchase
must be paid down at the tune of sale, and the remainder must be paid,
within one calendar month from the day of the sale, previous w witicit
the purchaser will not be put in possession of the land; and in case of
payment trot being made within the prescribed period, the fast • all be
considered void, and the deposit forfeited.
6. Os payment of the money, a grant will be made in fee simple,
to the pumnaser at the nominal quit-rent of a pepper corn. Piet tom
to the delivery of such grant, a fee of forty shillings will be payable to
the Colonial Seattary, for preparing the gram, and souther fie if
five shillings to the Registrar of the cup reute Court, for enrolling IC
7. The land will generally be put to sale in lots of one squats mile,
or six hundred and forty saes, but smaller lots than six laniard' mid
forty acres may, under particular circumstances, be par. based, on
making application to the Governor in waiting, with full explanation of
the masons for which the parties wish to purchase a smaller quantity.
8. The crown reserves to itself the right of making and constructing
such roads and bridges as may be fur public purposes sat
lands purchased as above, and to slitragemos timber, stow, and
other -materials, the produce of the lands, as may be nquired for making
and keeping the said reads and bridges in repair, and fur otter fliblie
