GRANTON BRANCH CONTRACT.

The works on this branch, although not completed, as
at one time anticipated, are in a very advanced state, and
there is every prospect that they will be so in the course
of next month. For some time past the earthwork has
been vigorously carried on, two sets of men being em-
ployed, one during the night and the other during the
day, making together twenty working hours, and fre-
quently laying out at one end of the embankment abou
600 cubic yards per day. There is already finished of em-
bankment, exclusive of bulwark and packing, about
61,200 cubic yards, and only 8,000 are now required to
complete the embankment.
Of the bulwarking between Granton-pier and Wardie,
these is now executed upwards of 8,000 superficial yards,
and there is only now required to complete the bulwark-
ing about 500 superficial yards. Of the packing behind
the bulwarking there has been executed upwards of
43,000 cubic yards, and it is now all but completed and
ready for the permanent rails being laid down. The new
turnpike road to Granton, from the east, is now finished,
to the satisfaction of the trustees of the Ciamond district,
and has been open to the public for some time. The ma-
sonry of the Trinity-road bridge has been completed for
some time, and the superstructure, which is to be of iron.
which is ready, will be added as soon as the embankment
operations are a little further advanced. All the other
bridges on this contract are finished. A considerable
number of the blocks required are on the ground, and the
sleepers are contracted for, and will be delivered in a week
or two.

The greater portion of the stone used in the works on
this contract has been obtained from the Duke of Buc-
cleuch's quarry, at Granton, and the works on the bul-
wark have been carried on night and day since their
commencement. They have been executed in a manner
highly creditable to Messrs. Orrell and Company, the
contractors, and it now forms an interesting feature in the
works on the line.
LEITH BRANCH CONTRACT.
It was mentioned in my last report, that this contract
had been let to Messrs. Adamson and Fox. The works
for some time were very much retarded in consequence of
the great difficulty experienced by the Company in ob-
taining possession of the property required for the ex-
ecution of the works. All these obstacles have now been
been removed, and the works upon the whole are pro-
ceeding with considerable rapidity.
Of the earthwork, including the excavation of the
tunnel at North Leith, there has been executed about
70,000 cubic yards. Of the short tunnel at North Leith
there is about 40 feet completed ; the east entrance is pro-
gressing, and the west entrance is finished ; and the
material through which the tunnel passes turns out re-
markably favourable. The Junction-street bridge is
completed to the springing of the arch, and the centering
set rem'y to receive the arch stones. The bridges in the
lands of Chancelot and NVarriston are finished, and the
embankment carried over them, although not yet to its
full breadth. Nothing has yet been done to the bridge at
liillhousefield, but the Bonnington-road bridge is com-
menced. The bridge to be erected under the Railway in
the Edinburgh Cemetery is to he built by that Company,
and they are bound to have it finished by May next, the
time specified for the completion of the rest of this con-
tract. A good deal has been done in building, retaining
walls, and other minor works upon the line.

STATIONS.
The arrangement with the Duke of Bumleuch for the
office and station accommodation at Granton have, from
various circumstances, been considerably retarded, but,
from the communications which I have lately had with
his grace's principal engineer, Mr. Walker, 1 have every
reason to think that all things will be arranged in .a
satisfactory manner. It will now however, be impossible
to have the permanent station completed by the opening
of the line, so that temporary accommodation will have
to be provided.

With regard to the station at Leith, it is proposed to
erect it on the Citadel Green, the position of which is ex-
tremely suitable. The details of the general design are
under consideration. The arrangements with the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, 'for acquiring the
houses and other property at Canal-street for the purposes
of this station, are being carried out, the greater part of
the property being purchased and some of the houses re-
moved. The plans of this station are in hand.
The opinion of Mr. Robert Stephenson and Mr. Wm.
Cubitt, two eminent engineere, having been obtained as
to the best mode of working the line, and they being ad-
verse to the application of the atmospheric principle, or
sta ionery engines, three locomotive engines are being
constructed for the Company, by Messrs, Bury, Curtis,
and Kennedy, of LiverpoJl, and are to be upon the line
by the end of March next.

The carriages are contracted for by Messrs. Atkinson
and Philipson, of Newcastle, and arc in a very forward
state.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedi-
ent servant, THOMAS GRAINGER, Engineer.
London, 14th July, 1845.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that the following Direc-
tors retired by rotation : namely,

Messrs. SANDFORD,
If PEDDI E, and
• M'GREGOR.
lie further added, that he was sorry to say that the Board
would lose the services of Mr. Thom, who, from peculiar
circumstances, felt himself obliged to tender his re-
signation.

The following gentlemen were put in nomination and
elected : namely, Messrs. SANDFORD,

PEDDIE,
CHRISTISON, and
BRUCE.
Thereafter, Mr. Sandford was unanimously re-elected
Chairman.

RALPH ERSKINE SCOTT, Esq., moved the adoption of
the report, and that it be printed and circulated among
the Shareholders, which was seconded by JOHN CHRIS-
TISON, Esq., Advocate, and carried unanimously.
Thereafter, it was moved by RALPH ERSKINE SCOTT,
Esq., that, hereafter, the balance sheet sh,ll at all future
half-yearly meetings be with the Shareholders five days
previous to the meeting: seconded by HUGH BRUCE,
Esq., Advocate, and carried.
Moved by ARTHUR MUNRO, Esq., that the thanks of
this meeting be given to the Chairman and Directors for
the great trouble they have taken, which was seconded by
HUGH BRUCE, Esq., and carried unanimously.

THIS Line of Railway commences at the Docks now
forming at Birkenhead, and, proceeding from thence
by or near to Bidston, Moreton, Hoylake, West Kirby,
Thurstaston, Heswell, to Parkgate, it stlikei across the
River Dee to Flint, where it forms a Junction with the
Chester and Holyhead Railway, from whence it is tarried
to Mold along the Valley of the Conwy Brook.
From the main Line it is proposed to form two branches,
one diverging therefrom at Wallasey to New Brighton,
another from some convenient point at or near Parkgate
or Neston, to connect itself with the Birkenhead, Man-
chester, and Cheshire Junction Railway, at or near Little
Sutton.

Upon the importance of providing a direct Railway
communication between the manufacturing districts of
Lancashire, the large commercial town of Liverpool, and
the town of Birkenhead, rapidly rising to eminence, and
the rich Mineral district of North Wales and the port of
Holyhead, little need he said to recommend to the public
a Line of Railway having for its object those great advan-
tages. This Line of Railway has, therefore, been pro-
jected, not only with a view of supplying the cheapest,
most direct, and best means of communication, between
the ports of Holyhead, Birkenhead, and Liverpool, but
also for the purpose of affording a ready means of transit
and shipment for the produce of the great Coal Fields and
rich Mineral Districts of North Wales, now entirely
devoid of Railway communication.
By means of this Line of Railway a considerable reduc-
tion of distance, to the extent of eleven miles, over all
existing and projected Lines, and a consequent saving of
time and expense, will be effected between Holyhead,
Birkenhead, Liverpool, and the Manufacturing Districts
of Lancashire ; and this, coupled with the fact of the
Terminus of the Line adjoining the new docks forming at
Birkenhead, and thereby materially lessening the cost of
transhipment of merchandise, cannot fail to make it the
cheapest and most preferable medium for the conveyance
of passengers and merchandise between these ports.
To the towns of Mold, Flint, Bagilt, Holywell, and the
districts surrounding them, this undertaking must ensure
the most incalculable advantages, by opening to their rich
mineral productions a ready and cheap access to the
important markets of Liverpool, Birkenhead, and Man-
cheter ; and, on the other hand, great benefit will accrue
to these markets by the conveyance thither of Iron,
Copper, Lead, Zinc, Slate, Coal, and Lime, at a very
moderate cost. Should this Line of Railway be formed,
the Promoters feel confident that the articles of Coal and
Lime alone, of which the consumption is very great,
would yield a large and profitable return on the Capital
to be invested. Coal could be delivered in Birksmhead,
or shipped in the Mersey, at one-third less price than it
is now sold at ' • and Lime, which is now selling at 20s. per
ton at Birkenhead, after paying an ample return for its
conveyance, could be delivered at 13s. per ton.
With respect to the Passenger Traffic likely to come
upon this Line of Railway, it is sufficient to state, that it
will form a portion of the high road for travellers between
Liverpool, Lancashire, and Ireland; and, in addition
thereto, a considerable accession of Traffic may fairly
be reckoned upon from persons visiting the delightful and
picturesque Vale of Clwyd and the grand and mountain-
ous scenery of North Wales, as, also, by rendering to the
Inhabitants of Liverpool, Manchester, and the Manufac-
turing Districts of Lancashire an easy access to those
much-favoured and delightful watering places Parkgate,
Hoylake, Rhyl, &c.
The Branch Line from Parkgate, or Neston, to join
the Birkenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction
Railway, at or near little Sutton, also forms a most impor-
tant feature in the undertaking, as by that means a direct
communication will be opened between Manchester and
the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire, North Wales,
and Holyhead.
Off Hilbre the channel is deep and easy of access. The
late Mr. Telford, in a survey he made of the River Dee,
gave it as his opinion that it was the place most eligible
for a harbour. Should it be deemed desirable hereafter to
construct a Dock and Harbour of Refuge at this place, a
branch line may be formed which would connect it at
once with Birkenhead and Liverpool.
By following the coast line from Birkenhead to Park-
gate but a small outlay will be required for the formation
of the Railway, and, indeed, the engineering works of the
whole Line are very slight, with the exception of the
crossing of the River Dee from Parkgate to Flint, and

this part of the undertaking requires a mere detailed
notice.

It is proposed to cross the Dee from Parkgate to Flint
where the River forms itself into a narrow Channel, at or
near the last-mentioned place, the rest of the distance
between the Welsh and Cheshire Coast being a large Sand-
bank, seldom wholly covered by the sea even at high
water, and at low water passable by persons on foot. This
crossing will be effected, without difficulty, either by
means of an embankment or by a viaduct upon piles,
whichever mode may be considered the more advantageous
to the company ; but should arrangements be made with
parties having existing interests in the land to be re-
claimed, the former mode will be adopted. It is contem-
plated to extend the present new Channel formed by the
River Dee Company from Connah's Quay to Flint; to
form at Flint a Tidal Basin, capacious Locks and Weirs,
and to carry the Itiilway across these Locks by means of
Swing Bridges ; and thus, at a very trifling cost, upwards
of 8,000 acres of land will be reclaimed, and a continuous
and uniform depth of water and means of constant com-
munication will be kept up between Chester and Flint for
vessels of a large burthen.
- .

The Line of -Railway will not interfere with any park-
like or other ornamental grounds.
No detailed estimates of Traffic have yet been taken ;
but the promoters are in possession of sufficient statistics
to say, that, looking at the various sources of traffic, as
above detailed, which must necessarily flow upon this Line,
they may with confidence anticipate that a return of at
least 8 per cent may be fairly expected on the outlay.
It may be well to state, that, in estimating the cost of
this Railway, no deduction has been made on account of
the great value of the land to be reclaimed from the Dee.
This must necessarily be a matter for after arrangement.
Means will be taken to obtain an Act of Parliament in
the next session, with the usual clauses for restricting the
liability of each Shareholder ; and it is proposed to allow
interest on the paid-up capital.

rr HE above Company (formed by an amalgamation of
1 the Jamaica Junction and South Midland Branch
Railways) is intended to carry out the original objects of
those companies with such modifications as more detailed
information has rendered expedient.
By arrangements now made the direction of this Com-
pany has been strengthened by four of the Directors of
the Jamaica Railway Company having joined the board.
The Committee congratulate the shareholders upon this
accession, which, while it affords a facility in carrying out
the objects of this undertaking, ensures that unity of in-
terest which is the best guarantee of permanent success.
William Smith, Esq., (the projector of the Jamaica
Railway,) being about to visit the island, on the occasion
of the opening of that line for traffic, has undertaken to
give his active superintendence in the arrangements ne-
cessary for carrying out the objects of the South Midland
Junction Company.
The announcement of the intended extension of railway
accommodation has been received with so much cordi-
ality in Jamaica, and its advantages are so generally ap-
preciated, that the Committee feel assured of every sup-
port from the go;aernment and legislature of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision by the local
act for the payment of interest at the rate of 4i per cent.
per annum on the amount paid upon the shares from the
passing of the hill until the opening of the line.

sections were deposited by the BirminghtioLit d
Railway Company (now united with the Nuysiluclivi-pr

from Warwick and Leamington to join the I,oo,..essitY4st

joins the Stratford and Moreton Railway, ne,,arWoreehlisei
upon-Avon, which crosses the London a", eltetw
line. To complete the communication with LiiiNvorceo 0

line from Evesham to Ashchurch, on the

and Gloucester line. ai
These objects are considered of so much itoP° been
the local interests, that their full support has
fjeti•
tamed for carrying them into effect. f tbe
The report of the Board of Trade in favour oral. adverp

tages of that scheme that it is unnecessary to r!I;;0 of eat
here. The reasons there given for the ad"Lthe Pnli°
measure apply, in a great degree, in favour of pridiuopp
proposal, as compared with any rival scheTe2 Loetbe
lines now proposed are so connected with tnnvd witha of
Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, a Boar ogeo
system of railway communication which the the O,IC the
Trade have recommended in their report, thut ertaia lets
of that scheme may be considered to render c bovie,p,
adoption of the present project. Allusion ftsfilei
