Extract from the Projet de Loi, presented by M. S
Damon,. Minister of Public Work:.
_ _ _

"The liailway from Paris to Lyons is of all Lines to
establish one of those to which the country attaches most
importance. To unite the Ocean and the North Sea to
the Mediterranean ; Paris, the capital of the kingdom,
with Lyons, which is its second town, and with Mar-
seilles, the firzt of its seaports ; in fine, to connect the
North and South of France. Such are the principal
results to be realised by the Railway from Paris to Lyons.
At the same time, by a branch from Dijon to Mulhouse,
this Railway will connect Marseilles with Strasburg, the
Mediterranean with the Rhine; and will thus secure to
France tne contkuance of the commercial transit which
Austria and Ita'y seek to take from her.y'
Rctract from the Report of the Commission charged

vita the examination of the '" Prqet de Loi."
"The erect Railway going from Paris in opposite direc-
ms, joining the Ocean and the Mediterranean, Havre,
3ttiogne, Calais, Dunkirk, the frontier of the North

and the great port of Marseilles, uniting Paris and Lyons,
our two great centres of population and strength, of

y and industry, has alw;iyis fixed the attention of

the Government, the Legislature, and the country at
large, and should command prompt execution. Already
a Line is established from the English Channel, by Havre
and Rouen, to Paris.; and the Great Northern Line is
being pursued with vigour. At the other extremity,
Avignon will soon be united to Marseilles ; and it is high
time that the central part uf this great Line, through the
heart of the kingdom, through the midst of its rich
population and its principal towns, should be executed."

PROSPECTUS

E proposed line will form the connecting link be-
tween the Norwich .and Brandon Railway at Thet-
ford, and the Eastern Counties line, near Chelmaford,
whence it will be continued to the town and •port of Mal-
don, accommodating in its course the important and po-
pulous towns of Bury-St. Edmunds, Lavenhani, Long
Melford, Sudbury, Halsted, Bocking, Braintree, and
Maldon, and forming at once the most direct and econo-
mical line to Norwich.rfollowing the old coach route
through the populous:towns which that traffic has contri-
buted to foster, and opening a communication between
the fertile agricultural interior of Essex and the.cea.
This line will also -secure at the same time the exten-
sive traffic between Malden and the Dengey Hundred and
Chen: ford arid London, the distance being no more than
by the coach road,—advantages afforded by no other line,
.as even supposing Parliament to sanction one line from
Braintree to Chelmsford, ,ond another via Witham to
Maldon, the whole of the'Maldon and Chelinsfot.ectraffic
would still be lost, from the distance being increased to
15 miles. This line will gain this, and save the:construc-
tion of nearly 10 miles of railway (equivalent to, say
£130,000), at a sacrificeof abaut a mile between Thetford
and Chelmsford.

Instead of passing through z thinly inhabited,distrizt,
as is the case with the London and Norwich direct line,
reported against by the Board of Trade, this Railway will
accommodate a population of upwards of 150,000-scud&
Seven Market Towns, and Three Boroughs, returning
each Two Members to Parliament. The intersnediate
trkt&

therefore, particularly on market-days, will be
ery considerable, and will form e considerable source of
emokunent, not possessed by any other line to Norwich.
Independently of Passengers, a considerable income will
be derived not only from silk and other manufactured
geode, but from the vast quantities of Corn, Flour, Wool,
Malt, &c. &c. ; Beats, Sheep, and Pigs, dead Meat and
Poultry, which are annually sent from the entire district,
and from East Norfolk to the London Markets,
The.adual existing Traffic is sufficient, after deducting
40 per cent. for maintenance of way..working power, ma-
nagement, and other expenses, to pay.Gl per cent. on the
Capital required, without calculating upon any antici-
pated increase from the sources before-mentioned.
The claims of the Line, therefore, to public support,
rest as much upon its intrinsic merits as on the recog-
nized principle of Protection to Vested .Interests,—while,
so far from •beiag inimical to the Lines it joins, it will be
the means ofipreventin,, a diversion of the greater part of
the Norwich and Brandon Traffic, and must act as an
important feeder to the Eastern Conoties Railway, em-
ploying more of their Line than the present Coati Traffic.
Four per cent. Interest will be allowed on Deposits and
Calls until the completion of the line.
