THE proposed line of Railway unites the Nourishing and
manufacturing town of Carlisle with the seaport town of
Ittorypart. prssing in its route through the town of Ifrigion and
close to Dulston, and extends in length about 28 miles.
Its object is to join the Railway already in provess, and now
nearly completed, between Newcastle and Carlisle, at the latter
place; thus opening a direct, sale, and speedy communication
across the Island, and uniting the German Ocean with the Irish
Sea.

The advantages of the project must be obvious to all; for
with the exception of the turnpike roads, the only communica-
tion at present existing is by the Carlisle Canal to /lowness, and
the navigation of the Solway Frith.
The projected line passes for about ten miles through a wide.
and extensive Field,of superior Coal, for which there is a very
great and increasing demand, as well in Ireland and Scotland
h
as in the immediate neighboorood; besides passing through
the manufactuting districts of Wigton and Dalstan, and offering
the readiest and best Transit for the Cattle, Pigs, Butter, and
other Agricultural produce of Ireland to the populous towns
and districts of Carlisle, ilexam, Newcastle, Sunderland, and
Shields; and on the other side, to the pa-sage of Dutch, Baltic,
and German Goods and produce to Ireland, and the whole of
the Western Coast of England.

In addition to this, the quantity of Lime and Limestone
which adjoins the Railway, must prove another source of traffic
along the tine for the supply of the Agricultural districts; as
also the transit of Stone, Timber, Slates, and Fire Wicks,
which now pass to and from Maryport in great quantities by the
ordinary conveyances.

The estimated expence of this undertaking which has been
made under the superintendence of that eminent Engineer Mr.
GEORGE STEPHENSON, will be about £7,000 per mile, an•l for
that purpose it is proposed to raise a Capital of £200,000 in
shares of £5O each. The amount of Returns will, according to
the calculations made, afford a profit of upwards of EH) per
cent. on the capital advanced, after payment of the current
expenses.
It is intended to apply to Parliament in the next Session for
an Act to authorise the carrying the Plan into effect.
Applications for Shares in the meantime addressed to the
Com►uiatee, ate to be made to Mr. TYSON, Solicitor, Miuyport ;
Mr. LAwsoN, Solicitor, Wryton ; and at the Office of Messrs.
ADLINGTON, GREGORY, FAULKNER, and FOLLETT. Be4forti-
70IIN London. _

A deposit of £2 per Share will be required to he paid into
the hands of the Bankers on the allotment of the Shares, and
the rest of the Capital will be called for as the work advances.

GENTLEMEN,— I now beg to inform you that my assistant,
Mr. HALL, having ai lived in London, and laid before ine a full
account ofthe investigation which he has made of the Country
between Maryport and Carlisle, with respect to the nature of the
Levels he has taken in the various districts in your neighbour-
hood, I have duly considered the merits of each district he has
levelled through.
I find that the Line running more parallel to the sea as far as
Westnewton is more favourable as regards Levels to that place,-
, when' it would diverge towards Wigton, where the Levels are
less favourable; this route would also be more circuitous, and
would entirely miss the Coal Field.
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the route I first
described to you is the most favourable that the country will ad-
mit of, not only with respect to Coals and Lime, but is also very
much superior as a Line for Passengers; and I am happy to
state that it is a more favourable Line than I anticipated.
The Levels will be favourable for Locomotive Engines, and
as the line is very direct, with few curves upon it, high velo-
cities may be attained.
From the Coal district running along the Line for eight or
nine miles from Maryport, Coal will be brought to the Shipping
place at an extremely low rate. It is much more favourable for
that traffic than if the country had been a dead Level; the
same advantages will be had from the Limestone, which lies on
the Maryport side of the ridge.
The next mineral productiors, namely Lim'estone, &c., Pre-
sent themselves on the Carlisle side of the summit, and will be •
carried through that District at a very cheap Hate.
The Coal will be conveyed from the Maryport side of the
Summit to Calcine the Lime on the Carlisle side, and will be
found of incalculable benefit to the agricultural interest in that
district.

The whole length of the Line appears to be about 29
I should recommend that the portion of the line running
through the !Mineral district on the Maryport side or th,
be made a double line throughout the whole length. hot only
one line to be at present laid down, except on that portion
have mentioned.

From the full information Mr. HALL has given Toe as to the
nature of the Countrr, and its capabilities for producing Mate-
rials for making Bridges and forming the Road. I am enabled
to inform you that I think 1:2%X4(a) will be a sufficient Capital
to execute the work to the extent I have mentioned.

1 am, Gentlemen, your of servant,
GEOItGE STEPHENSON.

upon the community by giving solidity and a bonetfide character
to the
money transactions of our foreign commerce. The faci-
titles which it will afford to Merchants and Shippers and the en-

will tend to promote a steady and well regulated interchange of
, commodities with the different markets in which we trade,
whilst the just eentroul which it will be enabled to exercise over
the fluctuations of money will effectually check those operations
upon the course of exchange which are so injurious to the re-
alder trailer, producing at the same time a degree of certainty
in the result of .mercantile speculations to which our present
imperfect system of money communication is an effectual bar.
