Company's Office, Edinburgh, 13th Oct., 1815.

The Directors of this Company have now the satis-
faction to announce to their shareholders that all dif-
ferences with the Proprietors on the Grarvon line having
been satisfactorily arranged, the OPENING OF THAT
BRANCH WILL TAKE PLACE WITHOUT
DELAY.

The Directors have for some time past had in view the
great advantages to be derived by the extrusion of their
line from Grantor) to Winchburgh. To the noble Pro-
prietnr of Granton Per, this extension would secure a
direct communic ition with Glasgow—to the Shareholders,
besides thc entire traffic betw-en these two ports, a very
large proportion of the traffic on the Edinburgh and
Gl-r.gow railway (the distloce—between Edinburgh and
Glasgow being diminishordThy this line by several miles;)
—and to the priblie(a speedier and cheaper transit
between the two,cifies than at present exists.
W.th the-- news, the Directors in tire course of last
summer steps towards a survey of the line between
their ranton terminus and Winchburgh; and they have
directed the necessary Parli ,mentary notices to be given
for proceeding with their Bill for this extension next
session.

The line will be of easy constriction, and will not cost
more than £200,000, which the directors propose to
divide into 10,000 Shins of £2O each, applications for
which may be made to Mr. Robert Allan, ,harebroker,
St. Andrew's-square, Elinburgli ; Mr. Cunningname
Illirthwtek, 51, Sr. Vincent-street, Gla.gow ; or to \lr.
RICHARD DAWSON, Excbahge-llev, Liverpool.
N.l3.—Shareholders of the Edinburgh, Leith, and
Granton railway will have a preference in the allocation.

THE object,ceihis Railway is to afford the means of
direct,ralway communication between Edinburgh
and thvtliwns of Portobello, Fisherrow, and Mussel-
biir-41.1. It is intended to commence at a point at the head
of Leith Walk. at one time selected as the terminus of
the North British Line, proceedinz by Restalrig to Porto-
bello, and from thence by Jeppa and Fisherrow to Mus-
selburgh.
The present line of the North British Railway, the sole
proposed means of coromunii ation along this route, is
both extremely circuitous, and otherwise quite inadequate
to supply the inhabitants of the populous towns and vil-
lages in question with that direct, convenient, and speedy
transit which the improved notions of the times entitle
them to expect and demand.
At Portobello the North British Railway passes con-
siderably to the south of the town ; the villages of Res-
talrig and Joppa ate not accommodated at all, while
Fisherrow and Musselburgh are placed at least a mile
from the s,ation.
The line now proposed affords the best and shortest
means of communication between Musselburgh and Edin-
burgh,' while the intermediate towns and villages will be
accommodated by its passing through, instead of being
mkeepnttiaotnaedd,istthainscleinferowmilithsteinni.;iyaannd,aeienotnsommoedoaftiothnewchaiseehs
at present is not afforded at all.
The immense passenger traffic on this line is a matter
of notoriety to every inhabitant of Edinburgh and its
vicinity, and that it will be used in preference to the
North British, there cannce be a doubt, inasmuch as
passengers, whether on pleasure or business, invariably
prefer those means of communication which are close at
hand, and direct to such as are at a distance and cir-
cuitous.
The commit tee have further had their attention directed
to the great advantages likely to be derived from the
formation of a branch to connect with the proposed Tyne
Valley Junction Railway. which would likewise secure
for this line the whole direct traffic to and from Had-
diugton.
The survey has been to a great Wert completed, and
estimates of the expenditure, traffic. and returns are in
preparation. There is not an engineering difficulty in
any part of the line, and the greatest portion of it can be
constructed at a moderate expense. It may be further
stated, that it is in the contemplation of the promoters to
afford facilities for supplying the town of Portobello with
water, by laying down pipes along the line ; an accommo-
dation which the inhabitants of that district will duly
appreciate.
Powers will be taken, in the Act of Parliament, to al-
low interest at the rate of four per cent. on the deposits,
and preterence in the allotments of shares will be given
to the proprietors of the land through which the line is
