This Line of Railway is intended to commence at the City of York
by a junction with the London and York, and Leeds and York Rail-
ways, at or near York, and proceed by way of Pocklington, Market
Weighton, and Beverley, to the Port of Hull, and there terminate at
the extensive East Docks, now in course of construction, thus afford-
ing the shortest and most direct communication from Newcastle and
the whole of the North of England, as well as from Skipton,
Otley, and the northern part of Lancashire to the Port of Hull. It is
also intended to have branches from the main line at some con-
venient part between the towns of Market Weighton and Pockling-
ton westward to Selby, and eastwards to Great Driflield, thus afford-
ing to a rich and very highly cultivated portion of the East-Riding,
the shortest and best line for the transmission of its agricultural pro-
duce to the markets of Leeds, Wakefield, and the consuming dis-
tricts, and secure the return of coals, lime, and manures at a greatly
reduced cost. The Committee have also given directions for a sur-
vey of the country between Beverley and the favourite watering
places of llornsea, with a view of giving a branch line through the
richest portion of Holderness, and affording to that district a ready,
expeditious, and much desired mode of transit.
The Main Line of Railway from York to Hull will effect a very
considerable saving of distance between the two termini, and give
railway communication to a very extensive and valuable district of
country at present unprovided with railway accommodation ; it will
also open out a direct and expeditious communication for the Dur-
ham and Newcastle Collieries to the port of Hull, as well as Bever-
ley, Market-Weighton, and Pocklington, and the several villages on
the Line, and by its connexion with the intended Leeds and York,
and Lancashire and Yorkshire North-Eastern Railways, give direct
railway communication from the whole of North Lancashire to the
port of Hull, and the terminus of the Main Line, at the East Docks,
will save a large expenditure, which, without the construction of this
Line, must be incurred in the carriage of merchandise across the
town.

The branch lines to Great Dritlield and Selby will also open out an
entirely new district of country, and effect an immense saving of
listance between Bridlington, Driffield, Market Weighton, Pockling-
ton, and a great portion of the East-Riding, and the town of Leeds,
Wakefield, 3ianchester, and the manufacturing districts, and by the
;unction of the Selby branch with the London and York line at
Selby, will give the most direct and expeditious communication to
London and the south, from a great portion of the East-Riding, while,
by its connexion with the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Railway,
it will open out the valuable Knottingsley Lime Quarries to the agri-
cultural districts in Holderness and the East-Riding. They will also
zive the shortest and most complete line of communication from
York and the whole of the West-Riding to the favourite watering
place of Bridlington Quay.
The intended branch to Hornsea will form a very valuable adjunct
to the main line, and being the nearest watering place to both
Beverley and Hun, will thus be reached by the inhabitants of the
former town in a few minutes, and by those of Hull in considerably
less than an hour, while this branch will also afford accommodation
to the several important villages lying between Beverley and Hornsea
(or general merchandise and agricultural produce.
The great advantages which will be thus secured to the whole of
he East-Riding, including the Holderness district, are apparent on
reference to the Map, and arrangements have been made by which
this line will be promoted in friendly conjunction with other im-
portant railways in the West of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
The line will have the benefit of a great through as well as local
traffic, and the country is admirably adapted for railway communi-
cation, being nearly on a level the whole distance, and the cost of
construction consequently much below the average.
To prevent unnecessary trouble to parties at a distance, the puble
ire informed that the share capital of this Company will be confined
exclusively to landowners and persons resident upon the line, or
otherwise locally interested, and applications for shares from them
mot be ad4ressed to the solicitors.
