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 maks 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
or near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Hnrsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and Important manufacturing district through which the
line is intended to pass, the nest facilities for the conveyance of pas-
sengers, merchandise, SLer., 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 colheres now work-
ing in the Ilowden Clough and Cockersdals Valleys (which are on
the Intended lino 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 acre,,
and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an trait-
mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom rill be
available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more
neighbouring towns of Wakefield, Leeds; Halifax, Bradford, Dews-
bury, Bingley, Keighlcy, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, K_baresborough,
Ripon, &c., &c., where in most cases the reduc'dOri will be at least
one-half, and in the more distant places much 1-riere 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 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 neoes-
sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnitl 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.

~;

I

This line affords the most direct communication from North to
South, and will he a nearer route frain Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts •f the South,
to that much frequented waterinz-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pndsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Ilorsforth. 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 wealthy individuals ti the
above districts, who, confident of a successful issue, will use evers
means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session.
The Company reserve the power of making an extension P."oin
their lino to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the cfavey-
once of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be no% Inade by
another Company.

ARVES.T TIM E.
We wish to " glean" a rew ideas for rhyme,
From such a subject as the harvest time.
This topic Is deserving special mention,
And, therefore, we bestow our best attention.
Seine folks were fearful lest the recent rains
Should ruin all the corn upon the plains.
But no. The sun will soon restore the wheat,
And man will have sufficiency to eat.
Nor is this all! While plenty will be had,

Through MOSES' Mart we may be cheaply clad.
Like some " wide field," the mighty Mart of MOSES',
" A harvest" of advantages discloses.
. And all who buy, " reap" more advantage here,
Than any house can furnish far or near.
MOSES and SON, like husbandmen, attend
The " show'rs" of public favours which descend.
They watch the " sun-shine" of the public eye
Like the wise farmer looks towards the sky;
And that is why the noble house of MOSES',
A " harvest" of advantages discloses.
