The object of this railway is to form a direct line of communication
from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shie'ds, Middlesborough,
Tynemouth, and Sunderland, Seaham Harbour, the rising ports of
Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, and the other ports on the north-east
coast of England, to the important towns of Clitheroc, Preston, Black-
burn, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Chorley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and
the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire.
Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble
to Clitheroe, where it meets with the proposed extension of the
,lackburn;Darwen, and Bolton line from Blackburn to Clitheroe ; it
will thence proceed to Settle and Hawes by the most direct course,
and by the Valley of the Ifra and the. Wensleydale, to the town of
Askrigg and Richmond, near which latter place it will form a junc-
tion with the Great North of England and Newcastle and Darlington
Railways, by meats of the Richmond Branch of the former Railway.
The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication
with each other, inpependently of the intermediate population, may
be safely considered to amount to 570,000 on the north-east—and, on
the south-west, 1,670,000.
This line, forming the most direct route from the northern and
eastern districts ofEngland, via Fleetwood, to Belfast and the north
of Ireland, will greatly facilitate an interchange of commerce be-
tween the two countries. It effects a saving of upwards of forty miles
over the shortest existing route between Newcastle and Liverpool.
The immense population at its termini is a sufficient guarguitee of
the passenger traffic which may be anticipated.
The line will also afford the greatest facility for the transmission of
coals from the mines of Durham and Lancashire to the towns and
districts between the termini. In this article alone a very large traf-
fic may undoubtedly be anticipated, the price of coals at Settle and
its neighbourhood now varying from 20s. to 225. per toe, while by
means of the Railway coals of the best quality may be supplied to
Settle and the northern district of the West Riding of Yorkshire and
Lancashire in any ituantity at from 10s. to 12s. per ton.
The want of direct means of communication between the ports in
the north Tof England and the towns of Liverpool, Preston, Fleet-
wood, and Manchester, has been long felt ; the importance also of a
system of oasy railway communication around Manchester, extended
to a much larger radius than at present is occupied by any lines to-
wards the north, has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as
affording a greater choice of sites for the erection of mills and
factories.

The important local elements of traffic in slate, lead, 'ironstone,
freestone, and lime, which will be derived from the immediate vici-
nity of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the other great mineral
►allies along the line, are sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted
with the district, independent of the traffic in cattle and agricultural
produce from Durham, Darlington, Richmond, Settle, and ether
grazing districts, which is now very considerable. It is believed that
these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already
alluded to, will yield a most ample return on the proposed capital.
preliminary surrey has been taken of the line, and the sections
are nearly completed. The length of the line between Preston and
Richmond will be from seventy to seventy-five miles, and no
peculiar engineering difficulties exist. The capital determined to be
raised has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the comple-
tion of the works. •

The liability of each shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par.
liament to the amount of his subscription, and power will be applied
for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls
from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made with existing railway companies now
in connexion with this undertaking, by which a portion of the capi-
tal will be required. to be reserved for them. Further arrangements
are pending with other companies ; the Provisional Committee,
therefore, reserve to themselves the right of making such extensions
of this project and of increasing the capital for carrying out any such
extensions as they may consider advantageous, with the view of
forming a comprehensive system of railway communication from
the northern and eastern coast with Liverpool and Manchester, and
the manufacturing districts generally.
Applications for shares must be made to the solicitors, of whom,
also, prospectuses may be had, and should be made in the annexed
form, accompanied by a reference to some member of the Provisional
Committee, one of the Solicitors, or a Banker. Applications from
persons locally interested will have a preference.
