• The object of this undertaking is to secure a superior terminus to
the railways which have recently been incorporated, or are projected
to the south of the City of Glasgow.
The Line will commence at a point on the Glasgow, Barrhead, and
Wellston Direct Railway, nearly one mile to the south of the City,
and will terminate at the River Clyde, near the site of the old Wheat
Sheaf Inn, and adjoining to the Church of Gorbals, with Branches
to the Clydesiale Junction and Monkland Direct Railway, or such
point as may be deemed advisable.
• The Line has been carefully surveyed, and the proposed capital is
amply sufficient ; and when it is considered that the terminus will
be at the most suitable point between the stone bridge to be erected
at the foot of Stockwell-street, and the iron bridge to be erected at
the foot of Portland-street, and that it will be convenient to the
Post Office, to the new Arcade, and other :places of public resort
contemplated with a view to embellish the City and improve the ac-
cess to the Harbour, and that it will concentrate at this important
point the Railways to Pollockshaws, Barrhead, and Wellston—Kil-
marnock. Irvine, Ardrossan, and Ayr—Strathaven, Lesmahagow,
and Carlisle—Rutherglen, Hamilton, Wishaw, and Lanark—not to
speak of the Limes of the Monklands, Lothians, and Edinburgh
itself—there cannot be a doubt that, short though this Line be,
there are few likely to afford a more ample remuneration to the pro-
prietors.
In allocating the Shares, a preference will be given to the Share
and Scrip holders of the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Wellston Direct,
Clydesdale Junction, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan, Glasgow,
Strathaven, and Lesmahagow Direct, and Glasgow and 3lonklands
Direct Railways.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
tcuch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droltwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the Capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions .of the
• Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea 'to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
. To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
. city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected. will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.

The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom; secondly, to make a Trunk Line
of communication from South to North, between the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland at Oakenshaw, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
er near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and important manufacturing district through which the
line is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas-
sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country.
The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them ; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different coheres now work-
ing in the Howden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on
the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when
the railway now projected is formed, it is believed that the average
supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast
and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres.
and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli-
mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be
available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more
neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews-
bury, Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough,
Ripon, &c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least
one-half, and in the more distant places much mere than this amount
of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and
cheep coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised
ftoni this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return
for the capital required.
Besides passing through the centre of this Immense coal field, the
railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a population
of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom-
modation to this vast population, whose internal trait% must neces-
sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the
relative position in which it stands M other lines, so that for Inter-
nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un-
rivalled.
This line affords the most direct communication from North to
South, and will be a nearer route tans Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented waterin,;--place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
therpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, and the branches six miles.
The project is warmly supported by the landed and local interests,
and by a large body of mercantile and wealitly individuals In the
above districts, who, confident of a successful issue. will use every
means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session.
The Company reserve the power of making an extension ftom
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, Ike., if adequate provisloa be not made by
another Company.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount
of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from tke time the Act is
btained.
Farther information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds

The lino of Railway intended to be constructed, by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Offiey, Norbury, Forte'', Newport, Donningten
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and CreVre Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-ffeld, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is Impossible to
egleulate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct'railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in pieference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
lam' and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into tile heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is conside.ed that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Snch important local co-operatlin has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders wri! be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be

journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line wit be
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger.
The difference in the freights between the northern and southern
sides of the island and England is such, that, independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the ad-
vantage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of
Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to tae exposed
ports of the exist and north of the island.
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, wills a depth of water sufficient for vessels of
tile largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the island, at or
near which point It is proposed to form a junction with the Kingston
And Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port
Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near
Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be
formed between the most important and populous places, and facility
offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of
the island.
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of mountains
which run east and west, nearly the length of the island; the east-
ern portion, from Port Mo.-ant to Plantain Garden, is almost level;
while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising
into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole
of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple articles of
sugar, coffee, ruin, molasses, gim4er, pimento, and other spices, dye-
woods, druo. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still un-
cultivated, the production orillese articles will, by the increased
facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa,
kc., and dye stuffs,, at present uninaported, will again be brou,fht
into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds *lon.;
the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously
there are mahogany, lignum vita;, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar,
and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely
Into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricul-
tural and household purposes and cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable;
lead ore is extremely rich, and heavily impre6mated with silver ;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable aS manure, tze., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourablecircumsi anees attending the construction
of this Railway render it high.y probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* ne-
cessary for its formation is to bo found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of_propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tiugs and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ;
the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construction of
the line will a,conqrany the grants of the land, and may be leased to
capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports and the internal trafß3 a satisfactory esti-
mate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state that coals,
fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead,
timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac-
tures getter fly, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, mad from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yi 1(1 a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy communication established between the Island
and Great Britain, by wens of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Com-
pany, will enable the Directors In this country- to exercise an efficient
control oser the management of affairs in the Island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the
payment of four-and-a-half per cent. interest upon the amount paid
upon the Shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the
line.
