The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom • secondly, to make a Trunk Line
of communication from South to 'North, between the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland at Oakenshaw, the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
or near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley.
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near llorsforth, to afford to the densely

The intended rine runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last session, and cannot he said to interfere with any of theme ; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work-
ing in the Bowden Clough and Coekersdale Valleys (which are on
the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and wken
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, Sklpton, 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 mere 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 he 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 front tke
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 he a nearer route tram Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented wateritr,;-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield; Alver-
thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, l'udsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, an the branches six miles.
The project is 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 from
thair line to Bradford, at. the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to tke amount
of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annam from the time the Act is
btained.
Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Letde
rßradford, and applications for shares may be addressed to them in
he form subjoined.
Prospectuses and fcrms of application may also be had of Mr. R. M.
