SOLICITORS.
Mr. Wiliam Barker New-street, Huddersfield.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Vale of Ripponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
Iu addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing population,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, In addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the tines of opening the railway.
Applications for Shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioued Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co.. Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,
Messrs. Wilson and Hellawoll, Mr. Thomas Parratt, Mr. Frederick

Messrs. Cameron, Bagenove, and Taunton, Messrs. Lloyd and Price,

lyn, Manchester; or to the Solicitors to the Company.
The names of a highly-respectable and influential Provisional Com-
mittee will be published in a few days.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and inanufactut ing town of the west
of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Beam-
ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence' the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels. _ _ _

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-en-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergb,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the eld coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the an aunt of capital required, or other-
wise,
as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Aet to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares tasty be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

Phis railway Is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin-
burgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension
lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin-
burgh and Glasgow. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields
Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward
by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight line, in the direction of
routeland and Belsay, by Lisiesburn to Woodburn, on the Reed,
whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird-
hope,,Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the
Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to
Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town
to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin-
burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the
shortest and (except by the circuitous route of the east coast line),
the only railway communication from Newcastle to Glasgow.
It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn,
down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and Car-
lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to
be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland,
by the Midland and shortest route.
It :will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been
altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the
view of affording to the proposed line the additional facility of ship-
ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail-
way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from
their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line,
at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean.
The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne
Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow
Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance
and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as
of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks
in the districts through which the proposed line will pass.
Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the
proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities
will be afforded for the transit of lime and manue to, and of agricul-
tural products from, the extensive and valuabli districts of North-
umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle
to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk,
Peebles, and Lanark; whilst the transport of live stock, from the
same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line,
since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish, drovers, will be
iniimmediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length.
The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot-
land, including the towns of Itawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose,
Galashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c:, has become an urgent necessity.
And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal
fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through
t414449&44 Hinproachable scams of coal up the course of the Reed,

abundant source of revenue from its transit; as a proortmEilieefo-1
coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New-
castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at Heavy tonnage
rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line, through
the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow.
An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de-
velopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of
minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of
limestone and ironstone ; the latter of great richness and superiority,
for time manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation
at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of
erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the
proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment
By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditious
ltd economical place of shipment for all that portion of the ntanufac-
" of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before mentioned,
intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of
Europe.
Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western
side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England,
added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of
the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn,
always aided by the consideriition, that the line laid down for this
railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other
parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less
than thirty miles.
From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will
abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line.
A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee-are assured
by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite
plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par-
liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very
considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which
will form so important a feature in the general value of the under-
taking.

The attention of the public and of the civic authorities of this
great metropolis, through the powerful medium of the public press,
has upon several occasions been excited by the detail of numerous
and almost daily occurring accidents on the river Thames. With a
view to abate, If not altogether remove an evil of enormously grow-
ing magnitude, the dangerous navigation of the river, the present
project is put before the public.
Although the chief cause of this danger is acknowledged to be the
blocking up the navigation, by the numberless tiers et colliers and
their attendant barges, and their ingress and egress to and from their
station, still no efficient remedy has been hitherto proposed.
It is admitted by all that the only mode by which this great and
dangerous nuisance can be removed is by a dock, at a considerable
distance from the Pool, and a suitable and most convenient site has
been selected, in every way adapted for the object contemplated ;
and which not only combines facilities. in no ordinary degree, for
coal and coasting vessels to enter at all times of the tide, at a dis-
tance far removed from the Pool (about three miles below Woolwich),
but also at a locality, by the aid of a railway, from which the various
produce may be transmitted withid halt' an hour into the very heart
of the City.
It is proposed to construct a dock at a point in that part of the
river, four and half miles below !Rockwall, called Gallion's Reach,
and thence to carry a railway four miles long through East Ilam,
Plaistow, and West Ham, to the Eastern Counties Railway at Strat-
ford, where it will join the Northern and Eastern Railway, and form
a central point from which goods may be transmitted to the various
parts of the country which those railways traverse, and to London.
The spot at which the dock and works will be constructed has been
selected as being a part of the river where at the lowest state of the
tide there will always be a sufficiency of water to permit the ingress
and egress of vessels, as a reference to the Admiralty charts will de-
.44tenattate ; by this arrangement they will be enabled to discharge
diate vicinity where the Trinity flonsrureugterrgettetatry-Nt.A.
almost before they could have even reached their ordinary station in
the Pool, as at present. The great saving in time thus effected, it
is manifest, will be of the utmost consequence and advantage to the
owners of these vessels ; and by materially decreasing the cost,
would enable them to supply the consumer at a much less rate than
at present.
It is intended also to erect a sea-wall and wharf, 1,500 feet long,
for the accommodation of passengers by steam-packets and other
vessels passing to and fro. The economy of time thus effected will
be very considerable; for by the aid of this railway (bringing Shore-
ditsh and the intended terminus at Finsbury within twenty minutes)
nearly three-quarters of an hour will be saved over every other
mode of conveyance.
It is moreover to be remarked that from this spot Gravesend can
be reached in forty minutes, consequently the time consumed, from
Finsbury to Gravesend by this route, would be about one hour.
As the Eastern Counties Railway will be united to all the other
great trunk lines, by means of the northern and southern connecting
line just projected, it may be justly said that the Stearn-Packet
Wharf now proposed will be the only metropolitan Continental ter-
minus.
By the construction of this railway, with its very important ad-
junct, a coal and coasting dock, a most valuable addition Will be
made to the Eastern Counties revenue by calling into existence a
traffic which, under any other circumstances, could not be created ;
thereby developing to the proprietors of that extensive line that its
capabilities have hitherto lain dormant, and only required the neces-
sary extension to the Thames with a dock to secure to it a national
depot for produce for all parts of the globe to he disseminated
through the numerous and increasing extensions of the parent line.
The carriage of coal alone would add no insignificant sum to the
hitherto declared dividends of the Eastern Counties, when it is con-
sidered that more than two and a half millions of tons are annualy
imported into the port of London, which amount would be greatly
increased by means of the facility of railway transmission thus
afforded.
It may be proper to remark that it would be difficult to find, so
near the metropolis, a four miles course in every sense so eligible
for a railway, so free from obstruction, and so cheap of construction,
, that the coal traffic of itself would yield an ample return for the
outlay.
Prospectuses, plans, and forms of application for shares, may be
had of the Solicitors, at the temporary Offices of the Company, 31,
Moorgate-street, London, and of Mr. D. B. Major, 27, Change Alley,

This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro-
moters of the well-known Decan's Company (for the Great Northern
and Southern line), for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the
projected railway from Paris to Lyons.
It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be
made in November next, so that, even if the Carnnany should not
succeed in obtaining the lease, the delay and loss of interest will
be trifling.
The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be
completed, renders it imperative that the subscription be closed in a
very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en-
sure attention.
Applications for shares aro to be addressed to the Solicitors, 31,

followiug printed form, without detaching It from this prospectus.
