a
topic of conversation, its excellence as a manure alone may be named as
one reason, and that of having at Knaresbro' kilns, a kind as well
adapted for building as any lime probably can be, and at a rate as
reasonable as circumstances will admit of, may be offered as another
reason.

Having ascertained that two tons of this lime stone will make one
chaldron of lime, weighing 1 ton 7 cwt. 2qrs. we give below a statement
of what it will cost at different points on the line, recommending at the
same time on all occasions the lime-stone to meet the coal.

By the above statement it appears the Greenhow-hill lime can be burnt at
Ribston, for 13s. 6d. per chaldron, a circumstance not unlikely to make
it in great demand, whenever its properties are known for agricultural
purposes.

Adverting now to some articles the exact quantity of which is difficult
to ascertain, such as slate, oak bark, wood, Irish flax and linens, ashes
and some other kinds of American and colonial produce imported into
Liverpool, and which will have a cheap conveyance from Liverpool to
Skipton by canal, and naturally become a back carriage from Skipton to
Pateley-Bridge; as corn, &c. will move in the other direction, and from
Pateley-Bridge to Knaresbro', by the Railway at a much cheaper rate than
