That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, arid the question is, which is the best line to be
Adopted.
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashnrst's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to 3facelesfield, s

fn compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords.

The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con-
'inuous, and a more direct and short'r line of railway communica-
'ion between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
Treat Grimsby, and Hull, than at present exists, or is proposed by
my 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
*Pen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me-
tropolis.

The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the
making of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad-
lleworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured
betwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi-
sation is now called for with the Easter' Coast, and in order to ac-
mnplish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, com-
mencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield
sad Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk-
barton 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 reqdired objects, at as little expense, andlessen 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 only the several objects before stated, but also that it will
pass through, or near, several of the most extensive and celebrated
eoal-fields, bads of stone, and limestone, and other mineral districts,
in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

It 18 impossibi; 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 011 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 manuflicturing 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 such
manufacturing districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup-
plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by
the outports of that article for exportation ; whilst on the other hand
the superabundant produce of the rich agricultural districts of York-
shire and Lineolushire, bordering upon the line, are in equal demand
for the manufacturing population.
The immense traffic, both tligugh and lees!, which must pan upon
the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist.
A great Tart of the line will pass through a country favourable for
the construction of a railway, and the remainder presents no difficul-
ties of a serious character. In the construction of the line, every en-
deavour will be made tc 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, for 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-
liament to the amount of phis subscription ; and power will be taken
by the Act to: allow interest, at the rate of 41. per eentum per an-
num upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until
the completion of the railway.
tApplicationsjor shares may be addressed, in the annexed form, to
either of the undermentioned sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. Baily
and Hammond, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, and Mr. John

PROSPECTUS.

The object of this line of Railway is to complete the chain of coast
communication, and form a connexion with lines already established
or 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 itsroute the important cities and
towns of Limerick, Ennis, Gort, Loughrea, Athenry, Monivea, Tham,
Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Westport, Foxford, lsallina, Kilalla, Swineford,
Streamstown, 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, Valentia,
Tralee, and Limerick, the establishment of this line will cause Ire-
land to present a completeness of locomotive communication which
no ether country in the world enjoys.

The country through which the proposed line travels is most fertile
In mineral and agricultural products ; it embraces many extensive
coal fields, whose advantages It will extend to all parts of Connaught
and Ulster; and intersecting, as it does, so 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
extrema 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 importance in Ireland. Added to this the cer-
tainty that on the completion of the projected southern, eastern, and
western lines, the noble natural harbours on the Atlantic shore of
Ireland will become the British depots of American traffic, and most
probably the established packet stations forpostal communication
between the twe countries, it is impossible to over-rate the value of
this truly national projection
