THE PROFIT.

Considering that the county of Forfar is internally destitute
of, and that Fife abounds in coal, and considering the facilities
which would he given to the ports of Kirkaldv and Dundee for
expotting, the agricultural, and mineral, and manufacturing
productions of the county of Fife, a very great source of re•
venue would be thence derived.

In passengers, however, the greatest reliance for a revenue
may be placed. The number of passengers at present is up-
wards of 90,000 annually, eNclusive of those travelling farther
north, and who would also avail themselves of the railway
through Fife. But say that the increase of passengers was only
to the extent of one half of this gross number, or 135,000
throughout the line, and nearly as many for intermediate dis•
lances, but say altogether ZO,OOO passengers for various
distances, this would yield yearly £33,250 0 0
Goods, consisting of coal, lime, grain, flax yarn,
&c. &c., carried along the railway, at,least 18,000 0 0

L 53,250 0 0
Deduct expense of ma;ntenance and manage-
ment, conveyance, &c 17,750 0 0

35,00

THE METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPER COMPANY,
For the Establishment of a New Weekly Newspaper,
To BE CALLED

THE METROPOLITAN-CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL.
CAPITAL £lO,OOO, IN 5,000 SHARES OF £2 EACH.
THE names of Bankers, Director, Committee of Manage-
ment, Solicitors, and Secretary, with a full, ample, and
satisfactory Prospectus, will be issued in a few days, and may
be obtained at the Office of the Metropolitan Literary Journal,
13, Weilington.street, Strand; where, in the meantime, ap
plications for Shares may be made, and will be dui ;registered
and laid with the Bankers.
For the satisfaction of those numerous parties the Country
interested in the present undertaking, it is ecessary here to
state generally the object and intention o he Committee of
Management, and further information will erwards be afforded.
This new Political Journal is insti t under powerful pat-
ronage, for the purpose of thwartin in some measure, the
avowed designs of the numerous dical Newspapers lately
sprung up—of acting as an antidote to the objects and opinions
of such papers as the Spectator, Examiner, and Atlas, hitherto
unopposed by any antagonist of their form and character—of
spreading inure widely and generaliy throughout the Country,
(by a proper explanation, which is never attempted,) ptinciples
of a Conservative tendency—and of procuring a distinct organ
of Conservatism, to communicate the proceedings of the different
Conservative Associations.

The principles upon which this Journal will Le conducted, are
of a very simple and intelligible character, for they have been
advocated by the ;.,,rreatest'tand wisest Men this Country has ever
produced, and are those now upheld by His GRACE THE DUKE
OF WELLINGTON. and SIR ROBERT
They are, to defend at all times, and with all earnestness, the
strict and inviolable union now happily existing between Church
and State; to maintain the Throne in all its integrity, and
against all arbitrary encroachment, whether from within or from
without; to uphold the full and entire independence of both
Houses of Parliament, against the Monarchy and the people
on the one hand, and their own mutual inroads on the other;
and io teach the peoPle obedience to the laws, attachment to
'their established faith, loyalty to the King, and justice to each
other.
The METROPOLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL is also especi-
ally intended to represent the Shipping, the Agricultural, and
oilier depressed interests; and will devote a careful attention to
the proceedings of. (he various Railway, Mining, Canal, and
other Companies.
Shareholders are more particularly sought for among the
Clergy, the Conservltive Clubs and Associations, the Shipping
and Agricultural Districts and Associations; and from Man-
chester, Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Hull, Sunder-
land, Whitby, and Newcastle.
Each Shareholder is expected to take a Copy of the METRO-
POLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL, and in order to vary and
widen its circulation for the benefit of the Shareholders, no one
is allowed to subsCribe fOr mire than two Shares; for this pur-
pose also, they have been made small. It will thus commence
with such an extensive and immediate circulation, as to allow
at once a large per centage for Capital advances ; and, to
Spbscribers, in addition, a considerable per centage will be
allowed on Adveitisements, sufficient to repay them for their
outlay. _ _ .

In order, moreover, to meet with the Literary taste of the
British public, the METROPOLITAN LITER ARY JOURNAL, which
is edited by a gentleman of high standing in contemporary
Literature, will, as soon as the Duty is removed, be immediately
Stamped and sent to all parts of the Empire, thus allowing the
CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL more entire and exclusive space for
the diffusion of its political opinions. Letters (post paid) ad-
dressed to J. WALKER Oan, Esq., Officeof the METROPOLITAN
LITERARY JOURNAL, 13, Wellington-street, or 29, Northumber-
land-street, Strand, will be laid before the Committee, and all
inquires replied to. Early applications for Shares are also re-
quested, as a considerable number are already secured by im-
mediate friends of the undertaking; and in the Country.
N.B— It may not be out of place here to add; that this was
the first Journalproposed to be established on the present prin-
ciple, and tfie'innopncement was only delayed from the uncer-
calm)) eztistivk present Stamp' regulation's:
