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 tho
docks on the llumber 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 Hall.

By this line a very considerable saving of distance between Hull,
Leeds, Liverpool, and the important and densely-populated 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 fora considerable period,
the promoters of which did not intend to bring it before the public
until the surveys were filly 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 Com-
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
Mart, and Mr. Thomas Rayson, 32, Coleman-street, London; Messrs.

The objects of the Midland and Thirek 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 Thirak 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
•r 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-
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 collieres now work-
ing iu 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 Nom 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 he
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 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 coal field, the
railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a population
of upwards of 33.5,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accom-
modation to this vast population, whose internal traffics must neces-
sarily bo 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 advantaics 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 e the South,
to that much frequented watering-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, Batley, Drighllngton, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, awl 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 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 from
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, &e., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.

The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to tke amount
of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent, per annum from the time the Act is
btained.
Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds
rßradford, and applications for shares may he addressed to them in
he form subjoined.
Prospectuses and fcrms of appllcationmay also be had of 3fr. R. M.
cholefield, and any other respectable Stock and Share Agent in
