PROSPECTUS.
This railway is intended to complete a direct communication be-
tween Leeds and Newcastle.
It will commence in junction with the Leeds and Thirsk Rail-
way at Wath, near Ripon, and following the route, as near as may
be, of the Old Leeming-lane coach road, will proceed to a point near
Maskam, thence by way of Bedale, Catterick, Richmond, Middleton
Tyas, Barton, and Manfield, to Bishop Auckland, where it will join
the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway
The length of the projected line will he about forty miles, which
will render the distance between the important towns of Leeds and
Newcastle thirty miles short( r than by any existing, and fifteen miles
sherter than by any proposed, line of railway.
It will traverse districts abounding with coal, ironstone, lime, and
agricultural produce, hitherto shut out from the advantages of rail-
way communication with the markets of the populous and manufac-
turing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
As this line will join the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway
near Bedale, the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway near to
Richmond, and the Leeds and Thirsk Railway at Wath, it will afford
the means of conveying coal, at moderate charges; to the extensive
agricultural districts through which these several railways are pro.
posed to pass.
The coke produced in the Auckland district already commands an
universal preference over that supplied from any other part of the
kingdom, and is accordingly in great request on all the principal
lines, and the proposed railway will afford the most direct and con-
venient cutlet far it to the midland districts, where the demand will
be unlimited.

From the most careful and diligent inquiry it has been ascertained
that the coal and coke are alone sufficient to yield an ample return
for the capital employed in the construction of the line, independently
of the present, and continually increasing traffic, in passengers and
merchandize, which experience has hitherto found to result, wherever
the facilities of railway communication has been provided.
The attempts now making to constitute Leeds the great centre of
railway communication between the northern and southern parts of
the kingdom, for which its geographical position and commercial
importance offer so many facilities, must necessarily render the New-
castle and Leeds Direct Railway an important trunk line.
The sur►eys are already made, and the line has been found to present
no engineering difficulties, and to be of easy and inexpensive con-
struction. All other preliminary steps have likewise been taken to
obtain the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament.

This proposed railway, while it will connect the manufacturing towns
of Dundee and Forfar by the nearest and most direct route, will form
a continuous and connecting link at the river Tay with the follow-
ing great railways :—The Edinburgh and Northern, the proposed
Glasgow and Dundee Junction, and the Perth and Dundee lines;
and, at the Forfar Terminus, wail meet the Scottish Midland Junc-
tion from Edinburgh and Perth, and its proposed extension to the
Aberdeen Railway at Laurencekirk, also the Forfar and Arbroath
Railway, which joins the Aberdeen Railway at Friockheim—thus
amalgamating with these various railways, and forming a contiuu-
ous and centrical trunk for the general railway communication from
,dit is In a great viewed only as
a local

degree called for by the manufacturers, merchants, and farmers of
connwilectilnb:
the district. It will beyond all question, from this source alone, have
a traffic sufficient for ample remuneration to the shareholders. For-
far is the county town, and there is necessarily a considerable inter
course with Dundee. To parties locally versant with this manufac-
turing district, the very extensive traffic and intercourse between
Dundee and Forfar are well known. The population of the district
connected with the line, Is about 100,000.
Dundee, from its proximity to Forfar, and its extensive shipping
capabilities, is the proper and convenient port for exporting the pro-
duce of the district, but at present there is no direct railway com-
munication. The expense of transmitting goods at present between
Dundee and Forfar is fully double what it should be, and in a great
measure performed by horse carriage, an expensive and tedious pro-
cess ; but the formation of this railway will open up a direct and
cheap communication, and will unquestionab'y benefit the trade and
agriculture of the district.
The line passes through a rich agricultural district, for the pro-
duce of which the farmers will by It find an easy and expeditious
transit to Dundee, both for the consumpt and exportation ; and the
agricultural value of the lands will be considerably increased by the
direct communication with the town and harbour of Dundee, and
the railways running south from the Tay. The extensive pave-
ment and slate quarries around Forfar and along the district will be
greatly enhanced by the line, as a cheap and easy access to Dundee
for exportation will thus be afforded.
The promoters of this railway, viewing the extensive local traffic,
the junction with the whole railways before enumerated in con-
flexion with the great English trunk railways, have no hesitation in
submitting this under taking to the public, not only as one necessarily
called for by the mercantile, manufacturing, and agricultural inte-
rests of the district, and public co iveniency, but more especially by
its being the direct centrical line, forming a continuation of the rail-
way communication by the Edinburgh and Northern and Glasgow
Junction lines, through the connties of Fife and Forfar, to Aberdeen
and the north of Scotland

As a safe investment for capital, this line, being thus In the midst
of a great manufacturing district, and from the present formation of
railway communication at both ends, will present the sure prospect
of being highly advantageous.

The district has already been surveyed, and pre ants no dlfileulty
to the formation of the railway; and the proprietors and tenants
along the line are understood to be very favourable to the under-
taking.

The requisite Parliamentary notices have been given, so that the
Bill may be introduced and passed in the ensuing Session ; and the
Company's engineer will immediately proceed to finish a minute
survey of the whole line and termini at Dundee and Forfar.
