The objects of the Midland and Thlrsk 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
er near Howley Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley,
and theLeedi anti Thirsk at or near Horsforth, 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, merchandise, &c., 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 collieres now work-
ing in the Howden Clough and Cockersdale 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 vast
and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres,
and averaging twenty feet In thickness (of workable coal) se
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, Knarcsborough,
Ripon, &c., &c., where in moat cases the reduction will be at least
one-half, and In the more distant places much more 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 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 populat'on
of upwards of 33:1,000 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 ham Huddensfickl, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented vraterin.,-place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
therm Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsoy, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Iloreforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, an 4 the branches six miles.
The project is warmly supported by the landed and local Interests,
and by a large body of morcamile and wealthy individuals in the
above districts, who, confident of a successtld issue, will use every
means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session.
The Company reserve the power of making point fort
from
their Line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-
another Company ance of the minerals, &e., if adequate provision be not made by
.
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 shams may be adiressed to them in
the form subjoined.

Prospectuses and fcrms of appl;cation may also he had of Mr. R. M.
Scholetield, and any other respectable Stock and Share Agent in
Bradford, Leeds. Sr.c.
