'IIHE 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, aad Liverpool Railway, will have a decided ad-
vantage ever all other existing lines from Leeds to Liverpool, as it is
intended to carry it down, or near to, the docks at Liverpool, and
whet 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-ponulated 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 coftequence 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 his now arrived for making their intentions
public. . . _ .

A Prospectus, with an extensive and influential Provisional Com-
mittee, will shortly appear, and in the moan time 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, London; Messrs. Neqson, Mr. Gillow, and Messrs. Fletcher
and Sharp, Liverpool; Messrs. Ridsdale, Hirst, and Ridsdale, Messrs.
M`Lean and Dinwoodie, and Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, Manches-
ter; Messrs. Ridsdale, Myers, and Bailey, Mr. Richard Binney, Mr.

FOURTH THOUSAND Or
REID'S NEW SCHOOL DICTIONARY,
Just published, in largo 12mo, price 6s. 6d., handsomely and strongly
bound,
A. DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology,
and explanation of all Words authorised by eminent Writers ; to
which are added, a Vocabulary of the Roots of English Words, and
an Accented List of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Nantes.
By ALEXANDER REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School,
Edinburgh, Author or" Rudiments of English Composition," &c.
In this work, to whi4h the author has devoted the labour of several
years, an attempt has been made to compile a school dictionary
adapted to the present state of the English language, and to the im-
proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has been
sanctioned by the use of eminent authors, except such as have be-
come obsolete, or are merely technical. While the usual alphabetical
arrangement is preserved, the words are at the same time grouped in
such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after the
first word of each group, is given the root from which they are de-
rived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary; so
that the dictionary may be used either for reference, or for teaching
derivation. The pronunciation, which is Indicated by a simple no-
tation, is that of Walker, unless when the latter differs from prevail-
ing usage, or from the majority of competent authorities. The classi-
cal and scripture proper names are printed in one list, and are di-
vided into syllables, and accented as they ought to be pronounced.
" It is one of the most valuable contributions to the school-room,
and to the library also, which we have yet seeii."—Critic.
