The Board of Surveyors of Highways have granted 

 permission to the Liverj'ool and Manchester Rail- 

 Road Company to make the proposeil tunnel under 

 the town of Liverpool, from the King's Dock to the 

 eastern boundary, on certain conditions securing 

 the sewers and streets from damage. 



The following facts relative to rail-roads is valua- 

 ble : goods from Liverpool to London, by waggon, 

 are charged £\2 per ton, and delivered on the Gth 

 day. By the canal, £4 per ton, deliVCTed on the 

 Hth, I2th, and Kith day. By the van, £lGperton, 

 and delivered on the third day ; and of so much im- 

 portance is despatch in many commercial transac- 

 tions, that the vans are often laden almost to breaking 

 down. By the rail-road, l!^2 miles, calculated at the 

 .Stocton and Darlington price of two-pence per mile, 

 a ton would be only £\ I2s., with certain delivery on 

 the second day. The superiority of rail-way commu- 

 nication is therefore clearly demonstrated, for it 

 combines all the requisites— safety, expedition, and 



cheapness Carlisle Patriot.
