TIIE HUDDERSFIELD AND EAST AND WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY, Connecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Jlarnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull ; with a communication to the Metropolis, tl•ora or near the Cudworth Station of the North Midland Railway. (Registered Provisionally.) Capital, 1,0000001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2 s. per Share. In compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords. The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con• tlnuous, and a more direct and shorter line of railway communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby. and Hull, than at present exists, or is proposed by any other scheme now before the public ; secondly, to give the be nefit of railways to several populous and Important intermediate places now unprovided therewith ; thirdly, to afford increased fa cilities to transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly, to open a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me tropolis. The Legislature having, daring the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad dleworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured 'betwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield; a similar communi cation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac- Complish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, com mencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk burton Valleys, by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near the Cud worth station of the North Midland Railway, there forming a junc tion with that railway (by which a communication with the metro polis will be obtained), and thence proceeding to Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest practicable routes. In order to effect the required objects, at as little expense, and lessen the dis tance as much as possible, liberty is reserved to form junctions with any other existing or projected railways. On reference to a map, it will be seen that the construction of the proposed line, with the existing and projected railways, will attain not on'y the several objects before stated, but also that it will pass through, or near, several of the most extensive and celebrated coal-fields, beds of stone, and limestone, and other mineral districts, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is impossible, in the limits of a prospectus, to enumerate or "estimate the benefits to be derived from this undertaking ; making Huddersfield the centre of communication between the two seas, uniting It by means of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway to Liverpool on the west ; and by the proposed line, to the three ports of Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on the east; and the line passing through a densely-populated commercial and manufacturing part of the kingdom, as well as a highly-cultivated agricultural district, will afford a ready transport to the natural productions of each locality ; added to which, it is well known that considerable portions of each manufacturing districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by the optports of that article for exportation ; whilst on the other hand the superabundant produce of the rich agricultural districts of York shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon the line, are in equal demand for the manufacturing population. The immense traffic, both through and levd, which must pass upon the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist. " A great rart of the line will pass through a country favourable. for _the construction of a railway, and the remainder presents no difileul ties of a serious character. In the construction of the line, every en deavour will be made to cause the least possible infringement on the rights Or claims of existing railways, or injury to private property. A portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the Committee, air such railway companies at this line may form junc tions, or be connected with. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par- , t filament to the amount of Ihisj subscription ; and power will be taken by the Act to: allow Interest, at the rate of 41. per centum per an num upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway.

The object of this lino of Railway is to complete the chain of coast communication, and form a connexion with lines already established ' projected with reasonable hopes of success. It will commence at or near the city of Limerick, and taking a nor therly direction, proceed through the counties ofClare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo, terminating at Sligo, by a junction with the Sligo and Ennis killen Railway, and accommodating on its route the important cities and towns of Limerick, Ennis, ( sort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tuam, BalLinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, Balling, Mane, Swineford, Streantstown, and Sligo, which town being connected with the north, east, and south, by the different lines through Enniskillen, London derry, Coleraine, Belfast, Armagh, Newry, Dundalk, Drogheda, Dublin, Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Killarney, Valeulia, Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which .110 other country in the world enjoys. The country through which the proposed line trivels is most ferthe In mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive coal delde, whose advantages it will extend to all p irts of Connaught and Ulster ; and intersecting, as it does, ao many metropolitan lines of railway, it will develope those advantages in an equal degree to the province of Leinster. The lead, iron, marble, and slate works on its route, will be rendered available to the most distant parts of the island, and perhaps not the least advantage, in a national point of view, will be the establishment of an intercourse between the population of the extreme north and that of the extreme south, as well as placing the trade of, and communication with, Scotland, within the easy reach of all towns of any i m p or tance in Ireland. Added to this the cer tainty m t en the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of Ireland w ill become the British depots of American traffic, and most probably the established packet stations for postal communication between the two countri this truly national projeca:n it is imp oss ibl e to o v er-rate the value of The counties whi c h this railway traverses traverses abundantly supply the English markets with Cattle, pigs, c• This line, communicating with so many ports, will a s f i f , o rn r e d id th e e n. g reatest r facilities for the shipping of this portion of trade, ward. of o f the extent of which may be formed from the fact of up o e u m nt , ry th ii e re,, fa . l n r t: slo In its immediate vicinity, ara ,, e ,: t u h rulied fairs being held annually Iniowledged the greatest for sheep and It has been ascertained that the c cattle in the British islands. ac. facilities for the construction of it rs o z u te g ut tlt o e f r, Bret engineering which have been received from thertiluNilialos;neandaiin emanni great nications - greatest anxiety is manifested for its The subscribers will be held liable L olr P ly i te eti th n e . deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, ana to the amount of their subscriptions. aRsrR only Power will be applied for in the Act—and i is hereby given to the Committee—to alter thecaplitialt,hief nineeetaasntiarnlye; to Vary or abandon any part of the lin e , to make branch lines, o r enter into arrangements with any other comp an y also to nominate the first directors of the compai or companies ; and Th e Parliamentary contract and subscribers' agreement will be ready for signature on payment of the deposits.

I °sport, rasd Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxtbrd, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to Southampton will be twenty•three miles less than by any other route, ant on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general ofers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton azpon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbonrne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost importance to this line. . _ D IRE CT WESTERN RAILWAY (Upon the Broad Gauge), I Join London to the Land's-end ; with Diverging Lines to Bath and Bridgewater respectively.

Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an ' outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. The deeds will provitk that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obfaineil, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. interest in all calls.

As to the tralic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of mechant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an Immense sa - ,ing both in insurance and - Vine, by discharglin; their canoes at Falmouth, and at offee transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, And the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshirc, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; It may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from Loudon to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is rePorted to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been' repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at Ari unusually small expense; that the undertaking• will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are jestitled in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. ' Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through - whWi the line. will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great 'Western Railways, at or near Hoisdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in Its course, will unite the town of Barnet with What stone, Totteridge, llighwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chinford, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington,, Newington Green, Clap ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Holton, Homerten, Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston square, by this route, will be 1.5 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 41i miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping B irnet, 934 miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon). on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 61. i miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others :- 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne, fuel, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievous evil. missioner John Norton, Esq., Moat House, - Brentwood, Essex William John M'Guire, Esq., Hampton Court John Gray Wilson, Esq., Oxford-terrace Capt.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica. The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King. ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be traversed In eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of 305.. per passenger. The difference in the freights between the northern and southern sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports f the east and north of the island. The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or near to which point it is proposed to form a Junction with the King ston and Spanish Town Hallway, and proceed thence by or near Rock Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria, t. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego ay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be formed L etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of the Wend. Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun tains, which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising into hills • separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar- Celes of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, gi nger, pimento, and other spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the the land is still uncu facilit ltivated, trafficthe production of these articles will, by increased y for ,be greatly increased ; and cotton, indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, will again be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, 'which flourishes spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vitt% ebony Spanish elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely into use the valuable palmettl , and various other woods for agricultural and household purposes, aid cabinet works. The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ; lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver ; whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic. The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut tings and embankments will be generally superseded. A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated land required for the line, and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con struction, will, It is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ; —the mineral wealth, which may be developed by the construction of the line, will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to capitalists r the benefit of the Shareholders. Of the vark is imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti mate can sea rely be given —it will be sufficient to state, that Coals, Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops, - toad, Timt,er, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares and Manufactures generally, form important soirees of profit. , Tile working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re quired, and the speedy communication established between the island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, will 'enable the Directors in thi s country to exercise an efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island. The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the payment of 4}6 per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the shares front the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line. Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 43, Moorgate-street ; to Messrs.
