The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold ; firmly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coat and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line
Of eOißtßunication from South tO North, between the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk Hallways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland at Oakinillider, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Politefreet and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
er near "Welty Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely
Dopulated 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 projeeted schemes
of lest session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of theist ; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collterea 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 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 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 }Yam Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented waterim-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 s 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 front
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, U., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.

of Iris individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time tb• Act is
