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.
