THEgreat benefit which has resulted to the P
Subscribers' rom the establishment of Join '
nips, wheres larger Capital- than ordinary is
any particular object, is'too well known and
any lengthened illustration or comment.
The immense fortunes which have bee realized from the dis.'
tillation-of.spirits induce astonishment at the public has not
.long since adopted s plan .participating in the anjoyment of
some, of its advantages.: •
These considerations.have induced the Projectors of the pre-
sent undertaking,•who principally reside in Manchester, to call
public, attention to the subject, and to determine on the estab-
lishment of a Joint Stock Company, with a subscribed Capital.
of X 200,000, altboagh it is anticipated that not more than half
that sum owl!! be actually required.
From the greater.conveniences afforded by the local situation
of Liverpool, it is intended that the business of the Company
shall be carried on in that town; and the projectors of the un-
dertaking have possessed themselves of such information on the
subject as enables them very confidently to hold out to the Sub-
scribers, that, as compared with the numerous companies which
are in progress of formation, this affords as good a prospect as
any of a profitable and steady return on the capital to be in-
vested.

FIFE JUNCTION RA WAY.
(`CONNECTING the County of FI with the Counties on
Vi the North side of the TAY, on e one hand, and those on
the South side of the FORTH on e other, thus forining a link
of union between the Ferries on e Forth and the Tay, by con-
necting the Dundee and Newtyle Railway, with its branches to
Cupar and Glammis, the Dundee Forfar, and Arbroath Railways,
present. before Parliament, and at their intended extension of
them to Kirriemuir, Brechin and Montrose, as well as the pro-
posed Railway from Dundee to Perth, with the great Railivays on
the,Soui h of the Forth, particularly the Edinburgh and Gia.;gOw
Railway—the Edinburgh, Haddington, and Dunbar Railway—
the Edinburgh, Leith, and.Newhaven Railway, and the Edin-
burgh, Dalkeith, and Leith Railway; and being a branch from
thereat Trunk Railway proposed to be extended from London
_g by York to the Scottish mei( opolis.
The advantages of a Railway connecting together districts of
the country so very populous-and advancing, and passing through
a highly cultivated line, fertile in its agricultural, and abounding
in its mineral productions, are• too apparent to require to be
commented on.

Indeed it is difficult to select a portion of country of equal ex-
tent in the kingdom, which presents so many facilities and ad-
vantages for a railway communication as the country betwixt
the Fife and Tay ferries. The intercourse between Fife and the
Lothians on the south, and Forfarshire on the north, is even at
present Very.great great; and some idea of the extent of the increased
commUnication may be formed, when it is considered that during
the year 1835 there were upwards of 75,000 passengers between
Newhaven and Burntisland, Pettyour, and Kirkalily, and up-
wards 31,(X10 between Newhaven, Dundee, and Aberdeen &c.
T he.quantity ot goods which would be carried along a railway
connecting the two ferries would be very considerable. The
manufactures of Dundee and of the other towns on the lines of
the railway on the north, would be brought to' the markets in
the south in a cheap and speedy manner; and the articles of
commerce sent frOm the south being carried at a comparatively
cheap rate would find a ready market in the populous and flou-
rishing towns of Dundee and Perth.
Looking at the internal resources of the county of Fife alone,
abounding as it does in coal and limestone, a verv.considerable
traffic might fairly be expected, when the want of these articles
on the north of the Tay is considered. There are' at present
imported into Dundee about 300,000 tons of Scotch coals annu
ally. If a cheap and speedy communication by a railway- through
the coal district of Fife was formed, the greater part of this large
quantity might be fairly calculated upon as part of the railway
traffic. There are likewise upward of 100,000 bolls of.nlinae im-
ported into the ports of Perth and Dundee, besides impoitationi
into the intermediate ports.
Impressed with a consideration of the great advantages to the
country at large, which the formation of a railway between the
Fife and Tay ferries would produce, it has been resolved by a
number of gentlement to endeavour to carry. it into effect, and
that as promply, economically, and beneficially for the share-
holders and the public as its great accessibilities will admit.
