NING, AND LEATHER COMPANY.
CAPITAL £300,00U, IN 60,000 SHARES OF £5 EACH

THIS Company will secure to LIVERPOOL a proper in-
fluence in the Leather Trade, an influence not hitherto
possessed by this PORT, and place the Market here in a fair
competition with the far celebrated Butszot. Fe kg:"
To Importets, Butchers, Curriers, and Cordwainers it will
form a grand source of mutual advantttby sharing in the
profits of each others transactions, withou • fringement on any.
To Carriers it will afford an increased profit on transit, it will
advance the business and revenues of the port, give to the Ca-
pitaliit a good interest, and produce to the Public a better article.
It is a well known fact that the slow process of Tanning ren-
ders the business a heavy matter for the private Capitalist, and

the process forward and hasten the return; the effect has been
the production of Leather predisposed to crack.—See Sir Hum-

DUNDEE 'AND PERTH PAILWAY.
CAPITA r. .C 160,009, in SIiARES OF £25.
Dapostr £1 PER SHARE.
The Right Honoureble Lord KINNAIRD, Chairman opfte
Provisional Committee.
THE present line of Pailway is intended to co ect the
large manufacturing town of Dundee with t e city of
Perth. The great part. the Capital has been 4 reatiy sub-
scribed in the district, and a Company formed, a £io,ooo bas
been appropriated to Liverpool.
The town of Dundee is second only to Gla w, in Scotland,
in commercial importance, and it is inereaSi in population in
a much greater ratio than any other town in the north. It is the
Ceatre of the Flax manufactures in Scotland, and the increase
in its Flax-spinning establishments is very great.
The Docks and Harbour of Dundee are the most commodious
and extensive in Scotland, and so rapidly is the trade increas-
ing,. that notwithstanding of the completion ofa large additional
Wet Dock a-few months ago, the Harbour Trustees are again
in Parliament seeking power So- construct two very large ad-
ditional Wet Dm:ks and a Tide Harbour.

There is now Steam amation by magnificent and powerful
vessels to London, HO. and Li•ith horn this port, which makes
it the main entrance to the north of Scotland, and renders ra-
pidity and cheapneSs of communication to the interior of the
country a great desideratum.
The population Of Dundee is nearly 60,0(X).
The Railway will form a Junction With the Dundee and Ar-
brow h Rail Way at the Docks of Dundee, and will from thence
proceed through the Carse of Gowrie, which is the richest and
most fertile dislrict of country in Scotland, and will terminate
at the city of Perth. Perth contains 25A1/inhabitants, and is
the capital of the Yorkshire of Scotland. The whole of the
Western Highlands draw th'eir supplies of Coal, Lime, and
every necessary of life through this town, 'and roads toall pails
of the Highlands centre at Perth.
The pieseht traffic in Goods and Passengers between the
termini of the proposed Railway would, yield a handsome return
for the Capital required. The numoer of Passengers from
Scotland and England who pass along the line during the sum-
mer months is enormous. and this number will be increased to
a great extent by the easy access to Dundee from all pails of
England and Scotland by Steam, and by the facility of com-
nitNication which thii RailwaV will open to Perth.
There is a great scarcity of Water m Dundee, and sites for
spinnino, and manufacturing establishments cannot be obtained.
The present Railway crosses a number of valuable Streams,
which will be immediately turned to the purposes of tiade, and
thus become the soutce of increased revenue to the Railway
Company.
The nature of the country between the two towns is admirably
adapted for a Railway—the great part of the line is level, and
the steepest gradient is 1 in 1000, which for all practical pur-
poses is equal to a perfect level. The e•:pense of formation of
the Railway will thus be much below the averege sum required
for such works. . _

The length of the line is twenty miles. The present Railway
will form, a Junction with the Arbroath Railway at Dundee.
The Bill for this last-mentioned work has passed both Houses
of Parliament, and the work will be immediately proceeded
with. The whole Capital for the Dundee and Arbroath Railway
was subscribed by gentlemen in the district before the period
fixed for the preliminary meeting had arrived, and many Capi-
talists disappointed. The Shares are now yielding a large pre-
mium. The present line of Railway to Perth may be looked
upon as a continuation of the same line, with this great addi-
tional advantage, that it will ultimately form a part of the trunk
line of Railway from Dundee to Glasgow; between which towns
there is a great commercial intercourse.
