 London and Birmingham railroad bill, in the last session of Parliament, decides, that no class of His Majesty's subjects are more interested than the land-owners. In constructing railroads, these railroads will reduce the present burthen upon the land, the poor and county rates, and extend manual labour and the consumption of the produce of the soil, and enable the cultivator and the productive classes to send forth their goods and wares, with great facility, at one third of the former expense, to the first markets in the world.
