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
Neilston 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 Clydesdale Junction and Monkland Direct Railway, or suds
point as may be deemed advisable.
The Line has been carefully surveyed, and the proposed capital is
amply sufficient; and when it is consi4ered 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 Nellston—Kll-
- Irvine, Ardrossan, and Ayr—Strathaven, Lesmahagow,
and Carlisle—Rutherglen, Hamilton, Wishaw, and Lanark—not to
speak of the Lines of the Monklands, Lothians, and Edinburgh
!twit—there cannot be a doubt that, short though this Line be,
there arc 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 Neilston Direct,
Clydesdale Junction, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan, Glasgow,
Sir ,thavon, and Lesmahagow Direct, and Glasgow and Monklands
Direct Railways.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will coin-
men :e at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch neat E will
itch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the teinus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed-Rugby and_ Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich,
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 ft„,t,
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line front
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-
-1..-amington 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 ids 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 LIVERPOOL AND HULL DIRECT
CONNECTING RAILWAY, via BLACKBURN, BURN-
LEY, and LEEDS.
The public are informed that a line of railway is intended to be
made from the stations of the several railways now forming and pro-
jected at Blackburn, through the town of Burnley, to Leeds.
This line, with its conjunctions, and particularly the projected
Blackburn, Chorley, and Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad-
vantage over all other existing lines from Leeds to Liverpool. as it is
intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and
when completed will form the nearest and only direct route from the
docks on the Humber at Hull, to those on the Mersey at Liverpool,
being a communication so long wanted and suggested by many lead-
ing and influential merchants at the two important ports of Liver-
pool and Hull.
By this line a very considerable saving of distance between Hull,
Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populatad manu-
facturing districts, and the extensive and best coal fields of the two
counties of York and Lancaster will be effected.
This project has been in contemplation for a considerable period,
the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public
until the surveys were fully completed, but in consequence of a pre-
liminary notice having been issued by some other parties, and this
purporting to go over nearly the same ground, the projectors of this
scheme think the time has now arrived for making their intentions
public.
A Prospectus, with an extensive and influential Provisional Corn-
mittee, will shortly appear, and in the meantime applications for
Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Solicitors, or to the
following Brokers : —Mr. J. W. Hamilton, 3, South Gallery, Auction

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 Oakenehaw, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
or near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or 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-
wagers, 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 Ilowden 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 ltom 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, Keigldey, 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 more than this amount
of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and
cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised
from this source alone, it Is believed, will yield a most ample return
for the capital required.
Besides passing through the centre of this immense, eoal field, the
railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populat'on
of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom-
modation to this vast population, whose Internal traffic must neces-
sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the
relative position in which it stands to 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 tram Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire; Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented watering-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, 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 amid local interests,
and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals In thus
above districts, who, confident of a successful issue, will use every
means for bringing the project before the Legislative next session.
The Company reserve the power of making au extension IYoni
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.

The line 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 Eceleshall, Oflley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood; Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by ltushbury 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-field, 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
calculate 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 . Lianidloes, 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 preference
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
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the 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 conaldeZed that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thrivin.,
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.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders wii: be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow Interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the
date of each payment until the opening of tha line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of
Parliament shall have been obtained.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passe,,,,, and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known ,to all persons
e inversant with the island of Jamaica.
The average passage. by steamer between Montego Bay and
onKingstonthe r
o ute
aoccupiesnto rotrttyo nearly includingwh ilet he quickestexpenses
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
hem hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will 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 the exposed
portS of the east and north of the island,
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour; with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of
the 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, Yallalts, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, I'ort Antonio, Butf 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 •f mountains
which run east and west, nearly thelength 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, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye-
woods, drugs, Sce. ; and as mint than one-third of the land is still un-
cultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased
facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa,
Le., and dye stuffs, at present uniraported, will again be brought
into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along
the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously :
there are mahogany, lignum vitae, 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 impregnated with silver ;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed,-will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it high's, probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* ne-
cessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings 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 fbr 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 accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to
capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports and the internal trail.: 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 Ily, form important souses of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per tentage, and 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. hl a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy cotnmunication established between the Island
and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Pa ket Com-
pany, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an efficient
control o7er 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.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the cast, the line is taken to Pridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable ammint of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
inn which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half-
way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line :
by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west-
ward to Swansea and AberYstwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lyme, Lincoln,
and Hull.
The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may
be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
stance favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed
course.
