THE LIVERPOOL AND HULL DIRECT
CONNECTING RAILWAY, via BLACKBURN, BURN-
L 1: 1", 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
iutendea to carry it clown, er near to, the docks at Liverpool, and
when 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-populatad 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 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 intention 9
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

This Railway will commence at a suitable point of the Edinburgh
branch of the Caledonian Enilway, at or near Mid-Calder, and pro-
ceed westwards, by easy and convenient gradients, accommodating
the populous towns and villages of Livingstone, Bathgate, Blackburn,
Whitburn, and Clarkstone, to the Airdrie °lstria, where it will form
a junction with the existing and projected lines to Glasgow and the
West of Scotland. _ _ . .

The populous district traversed by this Railway is one of the rich-
est in Scotland. It abounds in ironstone, coal, limestone, and ether
minerals; and it only requires the advantages of railway accom-
modation to'develop its resources.
The revenue, as a Mineral line alone, should suffice to yield the
largest return legally exigible by railway proprietors ; and when it
is considered that, by the junctions already referred to, this line will
form a direct, short, and uninterrupted route between the cities of
Edinburgh and Glasgow, and connect East, West, and Mid Lothian,
and the whole of the eastern counties of Scotland, not merely with
Glasgow, but with the counties of Renfrew, Ayr, Wigton, and Kirk-
cudbright, and their important seaports, it would be difficult to over-
value the present line as a great national undertaking.
Te those acquainted with the district,2it is unnecessary to point
Out the immense local imported& 'of this line and its dependencies ;
and. to the Inhabitante of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, and all
the other towns in the cast and west of Scotland, it would be super-
fluous to mention the advantages of such a line, whether as respects
safety and comfort, or economy and expeditien ; but, for the benefit
of thoSe at a distance, it may be well to state that, while it avoids
objectionable tunnels, viaducts, and other heavy works, it is also
shorter, by at least one-sixth of the whole distance, than any other
line between the cities of Edinburgh and. Glasgow, and will further
be the means of conveying, without transhipment, passengers and
goods from the cast to the west coast.
The largest proprietors along the line have already given their
most cordial assent to this undertaking ; and there cannot be a doubt
that, as it will meet'the demands of the public, it will in due time
receive the sanction of the Legislature.

Applications for Shares in the form annexed may be made to the

The geographidel position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
decided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that gives employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Warn,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a-wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half-
way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line :
by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west-
ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Ilarwich, Lynn, Lincoln,
ani Hull.
The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may
be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
staece favourable—that the geological structure of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line et com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed
course.
