The scale above given will, it is thought, conduce more to the public advantage and the compactness of the kingdom than if the fares were fixed at the uniform rate of one penny a mile for first-class, and three -farthings a mile for second-class passengers, inasmuch as it will more equally distribute to all Digitized by VjOOQIC "8 THE IMPERIAL EAILWAT, parts of Great Britain and Ireland the immense bene- fit of a cheap communication with the metropolis. The gauge, being 7 ft., will not only per...mit the rate of travelling to be greater than on any other railway in the world, but will conduce to the per- sonal security and comfort of the passengers by ena- bling the carriages to be built with a passage through them from end to end, to be warmed with stoves in winter, and fitted with many appliances that could not be attempted in narrow carriages made to run on a gauge of only 4 ft. 8| in. Another advantage to be gained by adopting the broader gauge is, that it will render it impossible for most of the existing railways to unite their rails with those of the Imperial Railway.
