amount of

estimated

By the above statements it appears the project will cost 92,830 pounds;
and the amount of revenue arising from such tonnage as is comprehensible,
will amount annually to 7,322 pounds 12s. 6d. which is rather more than 8
per cent. per annum for the shareholders, independent of 39,090 tons more
which the works will be able to perform, if required, and which from the
low price of one penny per ton for Rail dues, for twenty miles, will
amount to 3,257 pounds 10s. 0d. and when only another penny per ton, per
mile is estimated for waggon dues, this kind of tonnage will be conveyed
at a cheap rate, and delivered in the neighbourhood where it is so much
wanted, at prices agreeable to the foregoing estimates; a circumstance of
itself likely to improve the value of all estates, containing the
articles of stone and lime, and ultimately bring a great increase of
tonnage in that direction, most desirable in all Railway projects.

In the foregoing estimates it is calculated that the waggons will be
drawn by horses, at the same time we believe, that loco-motive engines
might be applied to do the work at a less expense: but not having
employed an engineer perfectly acquainted therewith, we are not
authorized to say more on
