THE object of the promoters of this Railway is to con-
nect, by the most easy and direct, and the least ex-
pensive route, the large manufacturing towns of Man-
chester' Bolton, and Blackburn, with the North of Eng-
land and Scotland, and at the same time to afford to the
Inhabitants of the district traversed by the line the utmost
possible facilities for obtaining Cotton, Dyewoods, Provi-
sions, &c., from the ports of Liverpool, Preston, and
Fleetwood, and Coal, Flags, Slate, &c., from the exten-
sive mines and quarries of Lancashire, and in return
transmitting their Fat Cattle and Live Stock, their ma-
nufactured and Printed Goods, and also Lime—a com-
modity which abounds in the district, and is constantly
required in large quantities for bleaching, building, and
agricultural purposes, but can at present only be obtained
at a charge altogether disproportioned to the original cost,
owing to the heavy expense of the ordinary mode of con-
veyance by carts.
This Railway is intended to form a continuation of the
Lines of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton, and the
Blackburn and Preston Railways, from their joint Station
in Blackburn, and to pass through Billington, and near
the Village of Whalley, to a convenient Station at the
North side of Clitheroe, from whence it will follow the
Valley of the Ribble, or its tributary Streams, to such
point of Junction with the North Western Railway, near
Long Preston, or Settle, and by such route as shall, upon
the most minute examination of the country, and on the
fullest consideration of all the circumstances, be found
the cheapest and the best adapted for the purpose.
Surveys and Sections have been taken of the entire
Line. The length will be about twenty-five miles, of
which the portion from Blackburn to Clitheroe will be
ten. It has been determined to fix the Capital at
£450,000, which sum, it is believed, will be more than
sufficient to complete the object intended.
The Traffic which may be expected to pass over the
proposed line will be derived from sources sufficiently ob-
vious to all acquainted with the district to be pervaded and
opened, but it is impossible in the present stage to enter
into details, or precisely estimate the extent. The pro-
jectors, however, are already in possession of sufficient
data to justify them in coming to the conclusion that a
return of 6 per cent. on the capital will be obtained by
the shareholders. It would not indeed be difficult to
prove from the resources of the country, that a larger rate
of interest might reasonably be expected, but it has been
thought proper not to put before the public any other than
moderate statements on this head, from a conviction that
the merits of the undertaking are of that substantial and
self-evident character as to render it unnecessary to re-
sort to speculative representations, with a view to obtain
public countenance and snpport.
The promoters of this Railway deemed it advisable to
delay the publication of their Prospectus until the Bill for
making the Railway from Blackburn, through Darwen, to
Bolton, (with which it is proposed to be connected as
above stated,) had made such progress in parliament as
to leave no doubt of its receiving the sanction of the legis-
lature. The Committee of the House of Commons, to
whom that bill has been referred, having reported in its
favour, and the Directors having already taken measures
for proceeding immediately with the construction of their
line, it is presumed that the proper time has now arrived
for bringing this ulterior project before the public.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by
Act of Parliament to the amount of his Subscription, and
it is proposed to allow interest on the paid-up capital.
Applications for Shares are requested to be made in the
annexed form, and to be transmitted to the Solicitors

—.—
There are no difficult earth-works on the line. The
gradients are most easy. A survey of the whole line has
been completed.

In the allotment of Shares every preference will be
given to parties locally interested.

A prospectus, with full particulars, will be issued in a
few days.

Application for Shares must be made in the form ap-
pended, to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Thread-
needle-street, London; William Dutton, Esq., Solicitor,
58, Ebury-street, Earon-square, London ; or Messrs.
PARSONS and TOWNLEY, Liverpool; Messrs. Cardwell

embarrassed all other religious societies. Among the first
was the religion of the East, from Christianity being com-
pelled to' bear upon imperfect civilization but on a most
perfect mythology. In India and China the Missionaries
found the people imperfectly civilized, but with a perfect
mythology; they found a creed among them of vast anti-
quity, fixed and established religious principles; and
avinst all this Christianity had to direct her efforts.
This difficulty must be met by some instrumentality more
compacted, more learned perhaps than anything that our
Church had yet sent forward. Another serious difficulty
was the want of Christian purity. It was not the power
of merit, and the weight of learning that was so much
wanted as the purity of the holiness of Christian pro-
fessors. Although you might send men of spotless purity
to the East, yet the Hindoos remembered the atrocity of
the time of Clive, and the sad toils of the days of
Hastings. They might see the faithfulness of Martin
and the devotedness of Swartz, but. they
