--LWAY, conneting the City of Aberdeen with
- the Southern Linesc through the populous towns of
Dundee, Perth, Arbroath, Forfar, Brecbin, Montrose, and
tonehaven, and the numerous Towns and Villages in this
;roportant Agricultural and Manufacturing District, has
long been anxiously desired, and the Line was surveyed as
far back as the year 1837. The execution of the undertaking,
however, was deferred until the chain of Railway commu-
nication should be farther advanced. This has now taken
race. Railways have been completed or are projected
trhngland, and the South and West of Scotland, to
eeas Termini of the present line. A fresh Sur-
/ Estimate having been obtained, the undertaking
amen,
since received the sanction of the Noblemen and Gen-
"en; Proprietors of the greater part of the lands to be
escribed raversed, and a large portion of the Capital has been sub-
within the district.
From a consideration of the route and length of the
Line, it will be seen that the whole traffic of the various
ItailwaTs throughout the South and West of Scotland
Vust, in it_
progress to Aberdeen and the Northern
°unties; fall into, and be conveyed along this line.
CommencingTh lent of the Line is 66 miles, including Branches.
at the Harbour and Wet Docks in the centre
Aberdeen, it proceeds by the Villages of Cove, Port-
letthen
wiS oeueliavSeknateraw and others, to the county town of
; thence through the fertile district of the
andarna, near to the Villages of Drumlithie, Auchinblae,
Laurencekirk, b Maykirk, to Brechin, and having a
branch to the Docksyat Montrose. From Brechin, it is
Proposed that the Line shall be continued to Friockheim
00 the one hand, forming there a junction with the Rail-
Ways already finished to Arbroath and Dundee, and the
Edinburgh and Northern, through Fife ; and, on the
other hand, to be continued to Forfar, where it will meet
the Northern Junction Railwar from Perth through
Strathmore, thus connecting it with the Scottish Central
Line.
No Tunnel is required on the whole length of the line—
the gradients are good—the value of the Land is compa-
ratively small—and the works are of a description which
can be estirnatd with certainty. In addition to the ex-
perience of M_.ssrs. Grainger and Miller, and Messrs.
Gibb, as Railway Engineers, the practical experience of
the latter as Contractors, under the firm of John Gibb
and Son, is well known, and will give more than usual
confidence in the estimate of cost. After the most careful
consideration of the whole works on the Main Line and
Branches, and including the plant, the Capital has been
fixed at £1,000,000 sterling.
The Line traversed is very populous, and besides the
other large Towns above mentioned, Aberdeen alone con-
tains 75,000 inhabitants, and is the dep6t for the supply of
the important and wealthy district north of that city with
general merchandise. Aberdeen and the other towns on
W the line are also important seats of the Linen, Cotton,
oollen, and other Manufactures. The Salmon and
Lother Fisheries are of great magnitude. These afford a
cry large item in the present carrying trade of the Coun-
r, which, with the advantage of a rapid transit, so ne-
y9esary to a commodity of a perishable nature, will largely
Rturse. This trade, it is well known, has, in lines of
ay similarly circumstanced, proved a source of great
revenwue.
A portion of the country traversed being deficient of
stone for building purposes, while the other is abundantly
!,uPPlied with stone of the finest quality and of different
'ascriptions, a large traffic will thence arise.
Its importance as an Agricultural district, in which the
nest cattle are reared and fed in great numbers, requires
I°MY to be mentioned to satisfy every one of the large re-
e.nue which the Railway will realise from the transit of
Tel
and Dead Stock to the southern Markets, to which ' are at resent riven b tedios and expensive e-
nits of copnveyancde. They Grainu Trade also formsm an
important item in the anticipated receipts.
_ Tables of Traffic have been prepared from the passenger
of and carrying trade, exhibiting a clear revenue of upwards
80,000, or of Eight per Cent. on the Capital of
;000,000, without reckoning on any new branch of
_ade to be called into existence, or on any undue increase
ar_that at present existing.
Shares
is proposed that the Stock shall be divided into 50,000
bnares of £2O each ; and, as the Standing Orders of the
'loUse of Commons provide that 10 per cent. on the sums
Subscribed shall be paid before a Railway Bill can be read
a second time, a deposit to that amount will be required
before applying to Parliament. A deposit of 20s. per
Share
to be paid as the Shares are awarded, and the re-
tuaining 20s. before the Ist of February, 1845. The
amount of future Calls to be payable at such times as the
Committee may direct, and the Shares of parties failing
to pay the Calls when required, will be forfeited, along
with any sums which they may have previously paid. The
Act will provide that no Subscriber shall be liable beyond
the amount of his Subscription, that no more than £2 Ios.
Per Share shall be called for at any one time, and that
•there shall be an interval of not less than three months
betwixt the Calls.
all owed
the Act is obtained, 4 per cent. Interest will be
!!!yowed upon the Calls, from the date of payment, until
e Line is opened for traffic. If the Act is not obtained,
Peplicati Payments, dor eductin
Shares in exenses, will be returned. 2,e!kithe form annexed, may be

EAT NORTHERN RAILWAY,

Tpool.

FROM
PERTH through STRATHMORE to ABERDEEN,

FORMING A CONTINUATION OF
THE CALEDONIAN AND SCOTTISH CENTRAL

RAILWAYS.

THIS line will complete the great chain of central rail-
way communication between England and the north
of Scotland. It will join the Scottish Central Railway at
Perth, and will in this way connect the northern parts of
Scotland in the most direct line with the south and west
of Scotland, and with England by the Caledonian Railway.
The whole traffic from Aberdeen, and from Inverness,
and the whole northern counties towards England, and all
parts of Scotland, must pass along this railway.
By this line, the interruption, delay, and expense in-
curred in crossing two arms of the sea, will be avoided,
and passengers will be more qnicklv, easily, and econo-
mically conveyed than by idly other line which can be
constructed. _

A considerable portion of this line was surveyed some
time ago, and was found to be upon one uninterrupted
level.

The valley of Strathmore, through which a great portion
of the line passes, is famed for its unsurpassed fertility,
and is very populous. It is already the seat of important
manufactures, which will be greatly extended, and is
studded with towns and villages. The importance of
Aberdeen as a seat of commerce and manufactures is well
known.

The railways from Arbroath to Forfar, and from Dun-
dee to Strathmore, by Newtyle, already constructed, will
run into this line, and form feeders to it.
It is proposed to invite the distinguished engineers,
Messrs. LOCKE and ERRINGTON, to undertake the exe-
cution of the line. This will ensure the adoption of the
line from the south to Aberdeen, best adapted to the in-
terests of the public.
A Provisional Committee is in course of formation, and
will be immediately announced. It already includes many
noblemen and other extensive proprietors and influential
persons. It is believed there will be no dissent along the
whole line.
Till the report of Messrs. Locke and Errington is ob-
tained, the capital cannot be precisely fixed ; but it is
proposed that it be divided into shares of £5O each, the
parliamentary deposit of 10 per cent., or £5 per share,
being payable on subscription.
Applications for shares, or generally for information on
the subject, may in the meantime he made to Messrs.
HOPE and OLIPHANT, W. S., Edinburgh ; Messrs.

THE line of this Railway is ungtzesti,,,ilably the best
which could be selected. From Aberdeen to Edin-

burgh, the distance, as compared with any Railway which
has at any time been proposed, is shortened 455 miles ;
from Perth to Edinburgh 4O miles ; from Perth to Lon-
don 37 miles ; from Dundee to Edinburgh 54& miles ;
from Dundee to London 54 miles ; and from Dundee to
Glasgow 55 miles. The time which will be occupied in
travelling tram Perth to the centre of the city of Edin-
burgh, will be 2+ hours ; and from Dundee to Edinburgh,
21 hours.

'The estimated Traffic, after a most careful inquiry,
shows a clear Revenue of upwards of £70,000, being
nearly Nine per Cent, on the Capital.
The Prospectus, affording full information as to the Cost,
Traffic, Revenue, and other particulars, will be found in
the London Times of the 13th instant, in the North Bri-
tish Advertiser of the 6th and 13th instant, and the Li-
