PROSPECTUS
The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.
The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and
thickly populated.
By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be
brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of
North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the
river Severn.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which,l n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking,
in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more
dilatory course of water carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the
above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa-
lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and ether
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro-
posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from
thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and
end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a
junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor-
cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month, August,
1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report
it to be free from engineering aifficulty, and well adapted for a rail-
way, and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the
line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to
similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession,
that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will sot interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at
centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
rcriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston
and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and son, Northampton ; Mr.

Mr. Collis, Birmingham ; Messrs. White and Son, Leamington ;
Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Hull ; Messrs. tempest and Britchart, Hud-

Tassie, Glasgow ; to any of whom applications in the undermen-
tioned form may be addressed.

TO SCRIPHOLDERS.
In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by
the decisions of Parliament in the late Session, and of the increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, tho
Provisional Committee find it necessary_to call in the scrip hitherto
issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to require an ad-
ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre-
pared for the signature of the Proprietors. Parties to whom scrip
has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on
or before the first day of October next, to tho Secretary. New
letters of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present
holders of the scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their
shares ; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory re-
ferences as to the responsibility of the holders, will be required by the
Directors, before new letters of allotment can be issued; on the ad-
ditional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of al •
lotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be
issued.
On and after the 10th of October next the present scrip (unless it
shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre-
viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the Shares it
represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to
write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security.
and to send by a post letter at the same time that they send their
scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip they have dispatcef h ed,
nces,
with
their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their rere
attached in full to the end of such list.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable
products.
It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glainorganshire, the geological formation of which is decidedly
proved to afford most excellent coal and iron-stone in greater abun-
dance than any other in the kingdom, with facilities of mining ac-
cess seldom equalled, and the quality of the coal is admirably
adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron.
An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much uearor and cheaper than by any other

line.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blacn Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a eommunication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
British channel.
No engineering difficulties present themselves in the formation of
this line ; and it is confidently anticipated that the works will be
executed very considerably under, the advertised capital.
The landowners along the line-are favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for
Shares, may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London; to W. Morgan, Esq.,
Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned
Brokers ; but no application for Shares will receive the attention of
the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or more
of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers :

THE HUDDERSFIELD AND EAST AND
WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY,
onnecting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
Great Grimsby, and Hull ; with a communication to the Metropolis,
from or near the Cudworth Station of the North Midland Railway.
(Registered Provisionally.)
Capital, 1,000,000/., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 2/. 25. per Share.
In compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords.
The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con-
Uunnnous,betwaenedn elad Bayrnwslmeym, uGnoicaole,

treat Grimsby, and Hull, than at present exists, or is proposed by
e cta 'the ee
o
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
apen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me-
tropolis.
The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the
naking of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad-
ileworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured
oetwixt the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi-
;ation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac-
femplish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, com-
nencing 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 So 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
culturalagrica districts of York-
shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon the e in equal demand
for the manufacturing population.
The immense traffic, both through and local, which must pass upon
the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist.
A great part 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 to cause the least possible infringement on the
rights or claims of existing railways, or injury to private property.
4, 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 his 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.
