COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.
Sir Robert Price, Bart., M.P., Chairman

(Provisiodally Registered.)
The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the
making of a railway from Huddersfield to Manchester, the long-de-
sired object of opening a direct line of railway communication. from
Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddleworth
and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself.
To accomplish nig object, it is proposed to make a railway, com-
mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the Huddersfield
and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and
Shelley Valleys and thence by way of, or near, Barnsley, to Goole.
By th:t proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man-
chester Railway, there would be then established one continuous
line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, pass-
ing through Mancheitter, and connecting the two 'ports of Liverpool
and Goole; and alap several important and populous manutitcturing
districts would have the benefit of railway communication, for which
no provision has'yef been 'made by any existing Company, or pro-
posed by any scheme now before the public.
The proposed line would cross the ;North Midland Railway at or
near Cudworth Station, opening a direct communication southwards.
The Portion of the line befween Huddersfield and the North Mid=
land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex-
tensive and celebrated'.coal-fields in Yorkshire; and Alit, other part
of the line would afford snereased means of attaining the valuable
limestone of Knottingley. • .
The country through which the' line woul I pass generally is of a
favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering .difil-
sullies ; but a survey is now.. being Made,. and, when completed, a
detailed Prospectus, with the names of a most influential Provisional
Comirdttee, consisting of landowners, nierchrnts, manufacturers,
and others locally interested, will be published. In the meantime
communications may be made to '

The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers
given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch
from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the
Worcester and Port Dynllaert line projected by the Great Western
Railway Coutpany, and to reduce their proposed capital from
1,250,000/. to 1,000,0001.
As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10
per ce it. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have
also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on
Shareholders • before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital
into shares of 251., deposit 2/. 12e. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre-
sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller
number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the
Committee where their shares were riot originally allotted to them),
orif any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of
21. 15s; per share which have been paid up.
. All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested
to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th
of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect
to new Shares, by letter in the 'form below. All holders of Shares
not originally allott& to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi-
cates on or before that day, il forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and
original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip
certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional
ntimbir of Shares.' Where the scrip c%rtifictiteil 'or 'bankers' receipts
are forwarded by ,post, the letter ehottld be registered at the post-
office; the Secretary will itclupwledgtheir receipt.
The Shrewsbury- and Hereford line will bb made in cordial co-

being actively proceeded with.

THE NAVY: • -
(From the Morning Herald.)
In May last, Lord Ingestre drew the attention of the House
of Commons to the defective constitution of the Navy-office,
and the great disadvantages attendant upon the absence of any
fixed principle in the construction of our ships of war. His
Lordship dwelt with good reason on the ruinous consequences
that were likely to result from confiding the direction of the
constructive department of the British navy to a single indi-
vidual, notoriously' destitute of that sort of acquaintance with
the science of naval architecture which would enable him to
frame his calculations with any degree of certainty ; and whose
vast and costly experiments had signally failed. After enume-
ra• ing the ships; upwards of 100 in number, which had been
built or were in course of construction by Sir William Sy-
monds, his Lordship complained of the expensive alterations
which it bad been necessary to make in a large proportion of
those vessels before they could be rendered efficient, for the
public service. The unprecedented latitude which has been
given to Sir William ,Symonds, after failures which have in-
volved the most serious sacrifices to the country, may be
gathered from the statistics of the number and cost of the shtpa
built or building by him which were laid before the House on.
that occasion. They ►ere as follow

We have nearly a hundred ships, involving an expenditure
of 1,3b6,250/. This enormous sum applies, it will be remem-
bered, to vessels many of which are only half finished, and has
no reference to steamers, on a hich an enormous amount of
money has also been squandered, without the production of a
single vessel that really answers the purpose for which she was
intended. Now it is surely competent to any Member of Par-
liament or public journalist to assert that this immense amount
of the public treasure ought not to have been placed at the dis-
posal of any individual, let his reputation for talent have been
w hat it might, without the most araple proof of his competency
to direct its application. To confine ourselves to Sir William
Symonds's four crack ships, the Vernon, the Queen, the Pique,
and the Albion—it is a fact, placed beyond the possibility
of contradiction, that not one of them has realised the
calculations of her constructor ; and that he has scarcely
ever produced a ship which has answered his own
expectations of her displacement. Among the more
flagrant examples of this sort of incapacity may be mentioned
the Spartan, the Gorgon, the Victoria and Albert, and the
Retribution. Several, like the Gulnare, the Blazer, and the
Tartarus, floated so deep in the water that it was nece nary to
take out the engines which had been provided for them, and
supply their place with others better calculated to conceal the
miserable blunders of their constructor. Nor was an ex-
change of engines the only expedient to which it became ne-
cessary to resort before these vessels could be commissioned.
The Gorgon was built with a view to carry guns on her lower
deck, but the notion was of necessity abandoned and her ports
caulked down, or the first gale would have sunk her ; and yet
with this fact before their eyes, the Surveyor's patrons permitted
him to lay down another vessel on similar lines... The Cyclops, the
Victoria and Albert, and numerous others of his ships, have only
been rendered serviceable by continual and costly alterations
after ttey were launched; to sly nothing of even more expen-
sive deviations from the original plans furnished by him when
they were on the stocks. Yet in the teeth of these formidable
proofs of incompetency, blunders which no degree of tinkering
or coaxing can ever repair, and which not even the unscrupu-
lous favouritism of Lord Minto could conceal—notwithstanding
the shield he extended over their author —no qualm or doubt
of any kind as to the propriety of enabling their perpetrator
to go on squandering the public money in the accumulation of
fresh failures, appears, for one moment, to have entered the
heads of his patrons. Nay, so blind was their partisanship,
that, in all the pretended-trials of Sir W. Symonds's ships with
those of other constructors, they took care to have them COB-
ducted on a principle that offered as slight a chance as possible to
his rivals; and if any vessel, like the Bat ham, offered prac-
tical proofs of superiority which it was impossible to suppress
or distort, they permitted him to break her up, or sell her out
of the service. We believe we arc within the mark when we
affirm that ships have been thus disposed of whose very copper
and iron, to say nothing of timber, comparatively undamaged,
have produced nearly the sum for which they have been sold.
On the other hand, the Vernon and Pique, new ships, have
absolutely cost a great deal more than they are worth in al era-
tinny and repairs, and are now (of the condition of the Vernon
at least we can s-peak confidently) only fit, like the Rover, to
be broken up. Tnis by the way ; for we propose, on a future
occasion, to lay before our rea'!ers some details Of the condi-
tion and value of the various ships either broken up or re-
commended to be broken up by the present Surveyor of the
Navy, arid the inadequacy of the price obtained for them.
Mais, rercnir ci nos moutons. It is a fact which cannot be
gainsaid, and which has been repeatedly admitted in the
House of Commons and elsewhere, by men every way com-
petent to form a correct judgment on the subject, that during
the last twelve years the science of naval architecture has not
only not advanced, but has ab'clutely retrogaded; and that this
result is owing to the adoption, nay Snare, the production of
the crude theories of unscientific pretenders, who, if required
so to do, would be found unequal to the solution, mathema-
tically, of one of the simplest problems of their art. During
the existence of the school of naval architecture, fostered and
encouraged by the _good Lord Melville, there' was, we will
venture to affirm, no one of its alumni who could not have
calculated with the nicest precision the displacement of a vessel
of given dimensions. In our own day, however, and some
twelve years after the impolitic dissolution of this valuable in
atitution, on the ground, we presume, that an elemental-)
knowledge of ship-building is not requisite to qualify a
surveyor of the navy for his duties—out of upwards of a
hundred ships constructed by Sir William Symonds we are
perfectly safe in asserting that there are not half a dozen
which fulfil, in this simple element of the science, the
intention of their constructor. The obstinate repudiation
by Sir William Symonds of that aid by which alone a
naval constructor can achieve a contemplated result
with any degree of precision, reminds us forcibly of the
reply of the well-known painter, Fuseli, when recommended
by a friend to study "nature," " Hang Nature (said he) she
puts me out !" Sir William seems to eschew the study of the
scientific department of his art on the same principle—it
" puts him out 1" Yet, ignorant as he is of the science of
ship-building, so much so, indeed, as to be unable to solve its
simplest problem, he has been permitted to make his " hit or
miss" experiments for upwards of twelve years, on more than a
hundred ships, and that, too, at a cost of nearly a million and
a half sterling ! Surely, whatever ma) have been the motives
of former Boards of Admiralty in screening for so long a period
his incapacity, and affording. him the means of increasing the
number of his failures, it is incumbent on their successors, who
have shown so zealous and anxious a desire to promote the in-
terests of the public service, to adopt some mode of releasing
themselves from the vast responsibility they are hourly incur-
ing on his account. Lord Ingestres who has a sound practical
as well as theoretical knowledge of the subject, proposes the
establishment of a board of construction as the only feasible
means of arriving at any really satisfactory result. Let the
surveyor be a member of this board if it be thought desirable;
but let him, for the future, be restrained from the repetition of
blunders which the merest tyro in the science, acting upon
known and recognised principles, would be enabled to avoid.

London Terminus, Aug. 30, 1845. -

This line will commence at the terminus of tke Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheiulle, and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near.Lichtleid, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed linorfrom Dudley and Walsall.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion witk existing
railways. Ib will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufactures, and open several extensive coal fields and some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line ftom Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already
appioved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Chu net Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
passing through the centre of the district, does not interfere with the
Grand Junction, er any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly
projected to TamwortTl, and is free from the formidable opposition of
the landed Interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by 'Ouster and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the.Churnet
and Blythe Valley districts.
The en-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.

This railway connects the important town of Barnet with the
London and Birmingham and the Groat Western Railways at Wels-
den, the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railways
at Tottenham, and the proposed Direct London and Manchester and
the London and ark Railways.
The line in its course unites the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Finch'ey, Hendon, Hornsey, Highgate, Tottenham,
&c., connecting those places with the various railways named, and
all those south of the Myer Thames, securing a very largo passenger
traffic, conveying Ifeavy goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, whereby the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London will be avoided ; also coal, fuel. and other commodities, to
Barnet and the other places, on and in the neighbourhood of the line.
From these and other sources of profit an ample return to the share-
holders will necessarily arise.
Prospectuses will in.a few days he published, with the names of the

This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, ant
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England; by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Sevens below Gloucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from
tha Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may safely be calculated upon), ' amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carrie ,upon the line,
independent of the local passenger traffic and an ex trade in
leink--Produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.
The fevenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital.. .
It is proposed to make branches to thi Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free from the dangers difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that

IVIIIDLAND
.AND THIRSK JUNCTION
_s_ RAILWAY.
(Provisionally Registered).
Capital 600,0001., in 24,000 Shares of 25/. each
2/. 12s. Gd.
per Share, in compliance with the standing orders of Parliament.
The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold ; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly', to make a Trunk Line
of communication from SOuth to North, in
the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk ltailleays ; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland at Oakenshaw; the Manchester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
er near How:ey Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and important manufacturing district through which the
line is intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas-
sengers, merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country.
The intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last sessioq, and cannot be said to interfere with any of them ; it
is perfectly independent, and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work-
ing
more than 10,000 acres,
in the Bowden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on
the intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when
the railway now projected is formed, it is believed that the average
supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast
(via Goole), as well as the more
and inexhaustible field of coal, occupying
and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli-
Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews-
bury, supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be
available for the London market
Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough,
nbeuirgyh,biluitiringlegyth, KwensigholefyW,
Ripon,-&c., &c., where in most cases the reduction will be at least
one-half, and in the more distant places much more than this amount
of reduction, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and
cheap coal Is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised
from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample return
for the capital required.
Besides passing through the centre of this Immense coal field, the
akefleld,
railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populat on
of upwards of 335,000 inhabitants, and whilst"affording every accom-
modation to this vast population, whose internal traffic must neces-
sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the
relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter-
nal resources and external relations its advantages are almost un-
fivalled.
This line affords the most direct communication from North to
South, and will be a nearer route foam Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented watering Place, Harrogate, and will form a
most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alver-
thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stanningley, Calverley,
and Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
miles, and the branches six miles.
The project is warmly sup Ported by the landed and local interests,
and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals in the
above districts, who, confident of a suceessfill issue, will use every
If adequate provision be not made by
means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session.
-The Company reserve the power of making an extension from
their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey-.
ance of the minerals, &c.,
another Company.
The liability of each Shereholcler will be restricted to the amount
of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all
calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is
obtained.
The names of an influential Provisional Committee will be adver-
tised next week.

- -
The Directers of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and. Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which a connexion would be most advantage-
ously formed between Southampton, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and all
parts of England. After most mature deliberation, they have re-
solved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme-
diate carrying out a railway to effect this object, which will be most
desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage-
ous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed
all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal-
gation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and
every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his
Serip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis-
bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holdirs of Great Western,
and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre-
ference, provided applications be made on or before the 10th Sep-
tember.

THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET.
Yesterday we published a summary of the trials between
the ships of the experimental fleet, in the accuracy of which
results we have the greatest confidence. All accounts agree
that the trials took place in light winds, and for the most part
in smooth water, the very weather in which the surveyor's
skips have been always stated to have the advantage. Other
details of the trial sailings induce a result rather different than
oar yesterday's summary. We, therefore, give them as they
have reached us.
By these accounts, there were five trials between the whole
fleet " with the wind," and six trials " on a wind," besides
other trials one ship with another, and one class with another.
In the trials " with the wind" on July 19 and 22, and
August 6, 17, and 18, five in number, the Queen is first,
having beaten the others three times out of five, but at the most
not above a mile and a half. The Albion is second, having
beat the Queen once, and the Rodney four times out of five.
The Rodney is third, having beat the Queen once, and the
Albion once. The Canopus is fourth, beating the Queen
once, the Albion once, and the Rodney twice. The St. Vin-
cent is fifth, beating all the ships once, on which occasion the
Queen was fourth, more than a mile astern, and the Albion a
mile and a half astern ; the Rodney was second on that occa-
sion, and the Canopus third, only about 32 fathoms from the
St. Vincent ; the Superb was sixth, the Vanguard seventh,
and Trafalgar last—thus :

river.
It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way ,obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join
this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended lihe from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloudester, and the one, over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not.exPected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may

A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South.
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for arailroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with ,most infittential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
' may -with • very great confidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vis:on will be made in this Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the " next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the
