Adverting now to some articles the exact quantity of which is difficult to ascertain, such as slate, oak bark, wood, Irish flax and linens, ashes and some other kinds of American and colonial produce imported into Liverpool, and which will have a cheap conveyance from Liverpool to Skipton by canal, and naturally become a back carriage from Skipton to Pateley-Bridge; as corn, &c. will move in the other direction, and from Pateley-Bridge to Knaresbro', by the Railway at a much cheaper rate than heretofore, and will as a matter of course, increase the tonnage, as example will prove: VIA SKIPTON. Pounds _s._ _d._ The present 1 6 8 cost per ton from Liverpool to Skipton in general Merchandize, is Do. from 1 7 6 Skipton to Knaresbro' 2 14 2 VIA LEEDS. The present 2 0 0 cost per ton from Liverpool to Leeds Do. Leeds to 0 15 0 Knaresbro' 2 15 0 VIA RAILWAY. The present 1 6 8 cost per ton at Skipton Skipton to 0 16 0 Pateley-Bridge Pateley-Bridge 0 3 9 to Knaresbro', per Railway, 15 miles, at 3d. per ton, per mile Waggon dues, 15 0 1 10.5 miles, at 1.5d. per ton, per mile 2 8 3.5 By the foregoing statement it appears, that when an average of the cost is taken, which the present modes of conveyance afford, and contrasted with the Railway when completed, the latter will have a preference of 6s. 3.5d. per ton, being a reduction of more than ten per cent. upon the present charges. Having now dwelt on the different articles of tonnage in each direction, with as much accuracy as we are able, and finding the tonnage in the ascending direction amount to 31,735 tons per annum, and that in the contrary to 4,000; and believing from the best information we are able to obtain, that for every two tons moved in an ascending direction, three tons may be moved in the contrary; consequently we look to building stone, stone for highways and lime, and some other articles not enumerated, to make up the quantity of tonnage required to keep the whole waggons in full work; and to produce the greatest possible revenue. Having enumerated such tonnage as falls within our power of calculation, and named a source with strong probability of much more; we come next to the general summary, and to contrast it with the expense of the project as stated by Mr. Telford, wherein we have no doubt, but every ample consideration is embraced.
