property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected in a manner and at a
cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.
There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri-
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be centidectly expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Baainghall.street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.
FORM OF APPLICATION.

ULL and GREAT NORTH of ENGLAND
rl JUNCTION RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital, 200,0001. in 10,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
This short, but important, line of railway is intended to com-
mence at or near the Brough stadon of the Hull and Selby Rail-
way, and to proceed by way of South and North Cave to Market
Weighton, and thence to Pocklington, there to join a projected line
to Easingwold, on the Great North of England Railway.
This undertaking will involve the construction of not more
than 18 miles of railway, but will complete a direct chain of com-
munication between the Northern coal fields and the port of Hull,
which will, doubtless, become by means of the facilitites thus afforded
a great port for the shipment of coal to foreign ports. But, be-
sides the commercial consideration, this important article of domes-
tic consumption will thus De materially cheapened, not only to Hull
but all the districts lying contiguous to the line.
A rich agricultural district, as yet unsupplied with the facilities
of railway communication, will by the intended railway be
opened out, and a large and hitherto undeveloped traffic in agricul-
tural produce will necessarily be conveyed upon it.
It will in connexion with whatever ►ine may be sanctioned by
Parliament between Pocklington and York, complete a new and
direct communication between Hull and York, and by its junction
with the Easingwold Line form a direct course to the Northern
Counties of England and the whose of Scotland, and thus prove a
feeder of the utmost consequence to the Hull and Selby Railway.
The country is remarkably favourable, in an engineering point
of view, being in fast almost a perfect level the whole distance,
and it is ascertained that the landowners on the line are most fa-
vourable to the project.
Considering the numerous sources of traffic, and the inexpensive
character of the line, this undertaking cannot fail of proving highly
remunerative to the shareholders.
Power will be taken in the Act, to lease or sell the railway to
any one of the lines in immediate connexion with it, and to allow
4 pet cent. on the calls until the line is opened.
The undertaking has already received the sanction of a large
and influential body of gentlemen, one half of the capital is al-
ready subscribed for, and a large portion of the remainder will be
reserved for appropriation at the discretion of the Committee of
Management, amongst the railways in connexion with the line.
Advertisements with the names of the Committee of Manage-
ment and other officers, will shortly appear, and in the mean time
applications for shares may be addressed lu the following form, to
Mr. J. B. Burland, South Cave, and Mr. Edw. C. Bell, Hull,
joint solicitors to the promoters.
