PROSPECTUS.

The objects of this undertaking arc—first, to establish one eon-
"lneons, and a more direct and shorter line of railway communica-
ems between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
're"t ,"rinisbY. mid 'WI, than at present exists, or is proposed by
any other scheme now beihre the public ; secondly, to give the be-
'lent of railways to. several
portfions and Important Intermediate
',leach now unprovidcd then:el:it ; thirdly, to afford increased fa-
cilliks of transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly, to
spen a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me-
tr 71ee-4slature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the
91 0
i 3L. .
making of a railway teem Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad-
dieworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication IA thereby seemesi
betwixt the port of Liverpool and Ithaderstiehl ; a similar communi-
cation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac-
templish the Fame, it is therefore proposed to make a line, com-
by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near Use Cud-
y, there forming a June-
nencing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield
Great
eonmalnllanication with the metre-
and Manchester Railway, Passing through the Kirkhsaton and Kirk-
proceeding to Goole,

Grimsby, and Hull, by the neatest practicable routes. In order to
' l's --ill be obtained), and thence
effect the required objects, at es little expense, awl lessen the flls-
lance as much as possible, liberty is reserved to form junctions wills
tiny other existing or projected railways.
On reference to a snap, it will be seen that the construction of
the proposed line, 'with the existing and projected railways, will
attain not only the several objects before stated, but also that it will
—p r of the st extensive AIM celebratee
ass through, or near, ee e e
coal-fields, beds of stone ~
andd. limestone,mo 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 he derived from this undertaking ; making
Hattie:sue:a the ceutre of communication between the two seas,
uniting it by means of the Huddersfield and Manchester Hallway 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
afned a ready transport to the natural productions of each locality ;
vitriol to which, it is well known that considerable portions of such
manulacturine districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup-
plied with coal, awl also that there is a daily increasing demand by
the outports or 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 tretlic, both through and loesl, which must pass upon
the brie, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist. -
A great part ot* the line will pass through a country favourable for
the construction of a ralway, and the remainder presents tin 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, er injury to private property.
A portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the
Committee, for such railway companies as this line may form junc-
Hens, 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, epon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until
the completion of the railway. ,
