Mr. William Barker,

Messrs. Brook and Freeman,
_ _ .

The object of this undertaking is io 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, in Lancashire, through the inter-
vening country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension
a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed
line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place
and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the !ortnation of rail-
ways, 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 Bar Vsland, the Vale of
Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will
join the terminus of the Liverpoo, and Bury line of railway.
In 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 populadon, 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 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 valleys
thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a large
quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought fro in a
distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of their in-
dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely
necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return will be
realised for the outlay of capital required.

The distance between lindderstield and Rochdale by the preseni
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway wil
be reduced to seventeen miles.

The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of en-
tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies that
may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par-
liament to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per
cent. per annum on the amounts paid on their shares from tile
respective times of payment to the times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned 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.

This railway will comic-Wee by a junction with the lines of the
Eastern Counties, the Lynn and Ely, and the Ely and Huntingdon,
Railways, at the city of Ely, and proceed thence, via Mildenhall, to

the country through which the line In/i Pass, have for generations
drawn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar, flag-
stones, and other general merchandise, from ft* pert of Lynn, and
have transmitted thither their own corn, flour, wall, fruit, and
other agricultural produce, for shipment to the northern marteti,
While the proposed line will affect the local object of preserving
the mercantile connexion that has so 1,9411 subsisted between the
county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it Will effcet the national
one of affording to the ports of Ipswich and Ifitrivisct), and the im-
portant towns of Colchester and Bury St. Edmunds, a direet
ttom-
munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north, and, by
means of the Ely aid Huuthigdon, and the proposed Rugby and
Ilantiogdon Railways, with pirmiligham and The west. From
there sources a most ample return on trip papital required for the
undertaking may be confidently relied on.
The line is singularly easy of construction, the estieliateei eost, in-
cluding every contingency, being jittle above 8,0001. per 11100 ; it

anticipated that any opposition will be offereel ar the landowners.
