PROSPECTUS.

This line of railway, although only about twenty- eight miles in
length. is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to
several existing lines, and across a 'district at present destitute of
such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station on the
Great North of England Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to
Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough,
Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various com-
panies having lines of railway running int• Leeds and Thirsk, and
by means of this pr4posed line a distance of twenty-two miles will
be saved between Thirsk and Whitby, and about sixteen between
Thirsk and Scarborough. It would certainly be the grand route to
Whitby, Scarborough, and Burlington, and the intermediate towns
of Helmsley and Kirkby-lloorside, se badly provided for at present
with railway accommodation, from all places west or north of Thirsk,
and it would necessarily open out a traffic, for which the present
means of communication are altogether inadequate.
The landowners on the line are few. in minter, and are friendly to
the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. It in-
terferes with no existing railway property, and every care will be
taken not to interfere with any ornamental property.
It will at once appear unnecessary, with respectto this line, to enter
into details of passengers and goods traffic. They cannot for a mo-
ment be questioned ; and when by this railway so touch easier access
is made between the important seaport of Whitby and the fashion-
able resorts of Scarborough, Burlington Quay, and Ilarrowgate, as well
as the populous and important towns of the West Riding of York-
shire and Lancashire, with which it will form an uninterrupted com-
munication, it cannot fail to be highly beneficial to those interested in
this undertaking. _

Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the
proposed Company will he under the control of the Committee, of
whom five are to be a quorum.

Application for share's must ba made to the solicitors of the Com-
pany (of whom prospectuses and forms of applications may be ob-
tained), accompanied by a reference either to some member of the
Committee, one of the solicitors, or one of the following share-
brokers—viz., Messrs. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings; and Robert
Johnston, Esq., 5, Shorter's-court, Throg,mort,,n-street, London ;
Messrs. Risdales, Myers, and Bailey, and James Hill and Co., Leeds ;
Messrs. Watson and Taylor, Darlington.
