FIFE JUNCTION RAILWAY.
CIONNEOTING the County of FIFE with the Counties on
VL, the North side of the TAY, on the one hand, and those on
the South side of the FORTH on the other, thus forming a link
of union between-the Ferries on the Forth and he Tay, by con-
necting the Dundee and Newtvle Railway, th its branches to
Cupar and Glanimis, the Dundee Forf , and Arbroath Rail-
ways, present before Parliament, a I t their intended exten-
sion of them to Kirriemuir, Brechil nd Montrose, as well as
the proposed Railway from Dun ce to Perth, with the great
Railways on the South of the FOrth, particularly the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Railway—the Edinburgh, Haddington, and Dun-
bar Railway—the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven Railway,
and the Edinburgh, Dalkeith, and Leith Railway ; and being
a branch from the great Trunk Railway proposed to be ex-
tended from London by York to the Scottish metropolis.
The advantages of a Railway connecting together districts of
the country so very populous and advancing, and passing
through a highly cultivated line, fertile in its agricultural, and.
abounding in its mineral productions, are too apparent to re-
quire to be commented on.

Indeed it is difficult to select a portion of country of equal ex-
tent in the kingdom, which presents so inane facilities and ad-
vantages fiir a railway communication as the country betwixt
the Fife and Tav ferries. The intercourse between Fife and the
Lothians on the south, and Furfarshire on the north, is even at
present very great; and some idea of the extent of the increased
communication way be formed, when it is considered that during
the yearlB3s there were upwards of 75,000 passengers between
Newhaven and Burntisland, Pettyour, and' Kirkaldv, and up-
wards 34,000 between Newhaven, Dundee, and Abeilleen, &c.
The quantity of goods which would be carried alono.a railway
connecting the two ferries would be very considerable. The
manufactures of Dundee and of the other towns on the lines of
the railway on the north, would be brought to the markets in
the south in a cheap and speedy wanner; and the articles (4
commerce sent from the south being carried at a comparatively
cheap rate would find a ready market iu the populous and flou-
rishing towns of Dundee and Perth.
Looking at the internal resources of the county of Fife alone,
abounding as it does in coal and limestone, a very considerable
traffic might fairly be expected, when the want of these articles
on the north of the Tay is considered. There are at present
imported into Dundee about 300,00(1 tons of Scotch coals annu-
ally. If a cheap and speedy communication by a railway through
the coal district of Fife was formed, the greater part of ;this large
quantity might be fairly calculated upon as a part of the railway
traffic. There are likewise upward of 100,000 boils of lime im-
ported into the ports of Perth and Dundee, besides importa-
tions into the intermediate ports.
Impressed with a consideration of the great advantages to the
country at large, which the formation of a railway between the
Fife and Tay ferries would produce, it has been resolved by a
number of gentlemen to endeavour to carry it into effect, and
that as promptly, economically, and beneficially for the share-
holders and the public as its great accessibilities will admit.
Tlit LINE.
'net+ termini of the line are proposed to be Port on Craig
or Newport on the north, and Bruntisland, of wherever the pro-
posed
low water pier shall be erected on the south. In regard
to its intermediate direction, the line which shall be ascertained
to he most advantageous, on the report of eminent engineers,
adopted.

EXPENSE.
The distance between the extremities of the line will be about
thirty-two miles, and when respect is Paid to the recent
.great
improvements in the formation of railways it is expected that
the .costs will be less than £IO,OOO a mile, but it bas been deem-
ed expedient to have a capital to the extent. of this rate, heir,
£320,000, by which means a steady and sure progression ana
completion of the work may be relied on.

THE PROFIT.

Considering that the county of Forfar is internally destitute
of. and that Fife abounds in coal, and considering the facilities
which would be given to the ports of Kirkaldy and Dundee for
exporting, the agricultural, and mineral, and manufacturing
productions of the county of Fife, a very great source of re-
venue would be thence derived.
In passengers, however, the greatest reliance for a revenue
may be placed. The number of passengers at present is up-
wards of 90,000 annually, exclusive of those travelling farther
north, and who would also avail themselves of the railway
through Fife. But say that the increase of passengers was only
to the extent of one half of this gross number, or 135,00 b
throughout the line, and nearly as many for intermediate dis-
tances, but say altogether 2.30,000 passengers fur various
distances, this would yield yearly £35,250 0 0
Goods, consisting of coal, lime, grain, flax yarn,
&c..8,:c., carried along the railway, at least .... 18,000 0 0

£53,250 0 0
