The Committee are ready to receive applications for the office of
Manager of this Company.
Although the business of the Company includes almost every kind
of banking, the principal object of the present undertaking is the
lending of money on the security of the stocks of public companies.
Parties applying for the office of Manager will therefore require to
combine a knowledge of banking with that of the value of stock.
As it is necessary to secure the services or a party fully qualified
to fill the responsible situation, the salary will be sufficiently liberal
to render the office an object of attention. Of course all applications
will be considered as strictly confidential. Applications, with re-
ferences, either personally or in writing, may be made to
ROBERT MUTRIE, Esq., 93, Watling-street, London, or

SOLICITORS_
Dunning and Stawman, Leeds
Charles Llough, Bradford.
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 How7ey Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley,
and t,heLeeds and Thirsk at or near llorsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and important manufacturing district through which the
line is Intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas-
sengers, merchandite, &e., to all parts of the country.
The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collicres now work-
ing in the Lowden Clough and Cockersclale Valleys (which are on
the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when
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
acres, vast
and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000
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, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough,
Ripon, &c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least
one-half, and In the snore distant places much more than this amount
of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good d
cheap coal is of the highest importance. The revenue to be 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 from the
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 be a nearer route *am Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented watering-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, I4atley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, and 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
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
ance of the minerals, &e., if adequate provision be not made by
another Company.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted to the amount
of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is
obtained.
Further information may be obtained of the Solicitors at Leeds
or Bradford, and applications for shares may be addressed to them in
the form subjoined.
plicationmay also be had of Mr. R. M.

This important line of railway Is forty-two miles in•lcngth; will
commence at the railway station of the Oxford. Worcester, and Wel-
verhampton'llailway at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence
by way of Tenl.ury and Leominster to Hereford, where it will Join the
Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lints of railway which
converge from Hereford, and ran into the West of England, and the
mmeasely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales,-
and the Important dis rims of Central Wales.

The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the
Derbyshire, Wormtershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
from Dudley to Kiddenaloster, complete the groat chain of railway'
communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, tt'e-coal
and iron era districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large
miacral districts of South Wales, At Thibury it will form a junc-
tioit with the Worcester and l'orthdynllnen intended railway, and
will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolv!rhampton,
Wednesbury, Walsall, Covestry, Dudley, Stoururidge, and rho other
surrounding towns to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng-
land to Ireland by means of Poithdynllaen, the future outport. ff,r

likewlse. form the nearest route to the north of England,

from the centre of Wales into the Midland Counties. Thus the coals
and other minerals, and the exclusive and constantly increasing iron-

factures of Lancashire. and Yorkshire, the saltworke of Cheshire and
Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of wales. ll:refont.

taking will aff,,rd sufficient remuneration to the Shareholders, and a
vast augmentation oftavenue which will arise from the through traf-
fic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced was an important Railway Company of the great
traffic which won,il run upon this line, that they bought up the pre,-
motors of a similar tmdertaking at asonsidcrable expense.
The line Is free from engineering difficulties, ann gradients highly
favourable. Tile Directors reserve the power of adopting the atm°.
sperie 'principle and Wide gauge, if approved of. The preference will
be g,iven in the allotment of Shares to persons locally interested in
the line, and no Shares will be appropriated except to persons who
Shall give satisfactory references.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most important manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire and Sheffield,
and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; the South Staffordshire portion in-
cluding Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and Wolver-
hampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon, Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanclly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynliaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourn, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join tee Huddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
Aerial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksvrorth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The
ironstone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very
scarce, and great quantities Sr. introduced from Scotland; the same
scarcity exists in South Staffordshire ; and the route of this line
would furnish a good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the-district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, aid Worcestershire Junction Railway.
The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into full work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at
Uttoxeter will remedy.
The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be great.
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest
Banks, Begets Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a
like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets. The lino has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is
intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so.
