Among The Numerous, Indeed Alniout Unlim...
Among the numerous , indeed _alniout unlimited number ot ' projects for new lines oiiailway which are now before thc public , anil other proposals for the judicious and profitable investment of capital , the abovc company conies forward with a most comprehensive scheme for undertaking tho completion and working - of all the proposed continental lines , as also a full and elaborate establishment of railways in our colonial possessions . It is proposed that whenever a grant for a railway has been secured by the successful negotiation ofthis company , such grant sliall 1 ) 0 Constituted a _SOpai'llle ftlld distinct company ; the holders of shares in the eriginal company to be entitled to a pro rata proportion of the shares in
every new company formed by the obtainment ol further concessions . A body of directors is to he chosen , not only well-known for their individual wealth and standing in society , hut as men of sound practically scientific views . A portioii of such directors , accompanied by a well-appointed and efficient engineering staff , will visit the various localities where railways are required , report on thu nature ofthe soil , population , the requirement of means of traffic , and every circumstance connected with thc full development of the subject . Daily , as proposals for the investment of capital arc being niilllc ill railways in the United Kingdom , they arc not sufficient to meet the enormous hoard of wealth which still remains to ho poured _ii-to the lap of speculation ;
and a company such as this , formed from among thc most wealthy and extensively connected of our _tncrchant _jn'inccs , our _landholders , and largo land proprietors , will have resources at hand which will enable thein to undertake the most gigantic projects ill the shape of railway communication , and scenic to the shareholders ft largo return for tlio _ciipifal invested . At present only a preliminary announcement has appeared ; but , wc understand , a prospectus will shortly be issued , with a powerful list of directors , a complete detail of the bankers , solicitor s , engineers , & e ., which will be required to cavvy ont so cxtev \ si \ 'fc a _-aclwmc , when wc shall devote some considerable attention aud space in our columns for thc dull consideration of this highly important subject . —The Mining Journal .
_Uah _. _ways is Lo . vdo . v . '—A great scheme is on foot to build in Farringdon-street a central terminus for railways , uniting Liverpool , Manchester , Birmingham , and other places with the metropolis . The man of business will he able to step out of his ofiicc , and , without any packing up—witliout so much as buttoning his coat , or doing more than pocketing his papers—be set down in Manchester or Liverpool . The project has , in a preliminary , stage , received the sanction of the City Parliament—the Court of Common Council—who have referred to a committee tlic
petitions from companies to purchase the necessary ground . The site of the Fleet Prison , _crewllilc tlic eage ofthe miserable insolvent debtor , will hereafter be thronged by people passing and repassing from all parts of the world , ca < . cr ministers of thc industry and prosperity ofthe country . No contrast could exceed that of the past a : id future use of the site . There is a talk of some great central terminus for all railways . It docs not , however , need any vast effort of imagination to look beyond even that scheme , to the day when the metropolis will be converted into one immense terminus , hy means of a special system of metropolitan railways , traversing the whole space ; so that the Birmingham traveller may take to the rail at _Newingtou Butts , the Brighton traveller at
Paddington , the Bristol traveller at Whitechapcl ; dispensing with the preliminary obstruction of cab or omnibus . It has been well remarked , tliat tlic resident at Kensington or Bayswater will not long consent to remain , in point of time , at a greater distance from the heart of the metropolis than the resident at Harrow or Maidenhead . \ 'ou may find it take you as long to go from _Kensington to the London * bridge tevmiuusot' the Brighton Railway , as from Londonbridge to Brighton . Nay , of two friends taking leave at London-bridge , one for Brighton hy mil , and 011 C lor Kensington by omnibus , thc traveller to Brighton might reach his destination first . London will speedily find the means of balancing these disparities ; and when that has been done by an internal system
of railways , the long-lined railways will obtain the means of using the internal system as an extension of their own . Some object , that thc introductionof railways' / into themctropolis will obstruct . trade , and injure the citizens ; but how facility of transit can obstruct trade is the puzzle . Railways do not obstruct trade anywhere else ; hot over thc country , nor within i ' ac , tories , where tlic tram-rails from the coal-house to the engine-house , the moving stages ascending and descending from floor to floor , are all of the railway genus : and a great town may be considered to stand between the wide space ofa country at large ami thc narrowed crowded space of a factory . The railway conveyance for passengers is the cheapest in the world , upon the whole the safest , and self-evidcntly
the most facile . Thc railway carriage is virtually a moving room , and without much diliiculty it might be made completely so ; a luxury which thc Americans have almost effected in their ' ¦ ears " Time is precious to tradesmen ; though some citizens , it seems , have still to learn the fact . An hour lost in traversing London to get atthe railway may cause _, him who has just learned some important intelligence to miss the packet for America , or lose the sale of goods made up on a hasty order . An hour or two to be wasted in tho omnibus may decide that you will not go or send at all about some business that might have proved worth thc trouble : whereas railways in London would convert the whole metropolis into one vast office . Eventually , thc citizen ' s private counting-house and country-house may be one , with a back railway connecting it to his city counting-house . But to have an internal system of railways you cannot do without termini in London itself—not one , hut
