This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and fornt a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, aid
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyre. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the Talley of the Lune, by Kirkky Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, aid thence ity the most practicable lire to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, whick
has hitherto lion the principal passenger routs from Lancaster to
Newcastle.

It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields aid mining
districts of Durham aid Nerthumberland, and the important towas
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, ail Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral predictions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and ether elements of' a great local traffic
abound, and caniot fall to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towas en the terabit is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Managerseat to make suck
alterations in the line, er the am mat of oapital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advant.ogeeus to the interests ithe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the lino, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
