Temporary °them, 2, Abehureh-lane, London.

This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Mug..
tester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
ShVibe', in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing towp of Yid-
dertninster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hell, and Chester to the
important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct
leie from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also,
in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the meet advan-
tageous routs from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.

The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the went Valley
ITnion at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties,
Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Bull; and, in addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the
district through which it passes.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be.
tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will mare In distance
at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre-
lent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a
junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail-
ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely
populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
age, be obviotte that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a, high
rate of !Merest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
/he line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
a: reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance surrey,
witieh accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
will at the tame time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
abet it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines, between
phe same termini.
_lt will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel-
ling. win be required.
liabilnies of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of
theft suoscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and
turtles earls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of
the line.

PROSPECTUS..
The objects of this undertaking are—/ {rat, to establish one con-
'lauous, and a more direct and shorter li me of railway communica-
lea between Liverpool, Manchester, Hud klersfield, Barnsley, Goole,
treat Grimsby, and Hull, than at preset W. exists, or is proposed by
any other scheme now before the public : ; secondly, to give the be-
sefit of railways to several populous a ad Important intermediate
places now unprovided therewith ; thin Hy, to afford increased fa-
cilities of transit to the whole intervening district ; and fourthly. to
epee a communication from Huddersfield, southward, with the me-
tropolis.
The Legislature having, during
the rec ent session, sanctioned the
making of a railway from Manchester tt r Huddersfield, by the Sad-
' dieworth and Marsden Valleys, a commui deaden is thereby secured
betwixt the port of Liverpool and Rudder afield ; a similar communi-
cation is now called for with the Earn "oast, and in order to ac-
esimplieh the same, it is therefore propos el to make a line, com-
mencing at, or near, the station in Hudde ['afield, of the Huddersfield
and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk-
barton Valleys, by way of, or near Bar msley, to or near the Cud-
sct nication with the metro-
ptivioour
wthitsh that
tn
roafiltwhaeyN(obrythwMhildelh . Commandßaus raY. there forming a June-
polls will be obtained), and thence pro et .eding to Goole, Great
Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest pracV feeble routes. In order to
effect the required objects, at as little es dense, andlessen the dis-
tance as much as possible, liberty Is reserved to form junctions with
any other existing or projected railways.
Oa reference to a map, it will be see a that the construction of
the proposed line, with the existing an d projected railways, will
attain not only the several objects before stated, but also that it will
pass through, or near, several of the mo st 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 apr ospectus, to enumerate or
estimate the benefits to be derived fron t this undertaking ; making
Medderafield the centre of communicate on between the two seas,
uniting it by means of the Huddersfield t and Manchester Railway so
Liverpool on the west ; and by the props sad line, to the three ports
of Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on th s east ; and the line passing
through a densely-populated commercial and manufacturing part of
the kingdom, as well as a highly -cultivat ed agricultural district, will
afford a ready transport to the natural p roductions of each locality ;
added I. which, it is well known that et nisiderable portions of such
manufacturing districts have hitherto I een very inadequately sup-
plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by
the outports of that article for exportatio n ; whilst on the other hand
the superabundant produce of the rich agricultural districts of York-
shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon tb e line, are in equal demand
for the manufacturing population.
The immense traffic, both through and licit, which must pass upon
the line, will afford ample remuneration to the capitalist.
A great part of the line will pass throu th a country favourable for
the construction of a railway, and the re, a:minder presents no difileul-
ties of a serious character. In the constr action of the line, every en-
deavour will bo made to cause the least possible infringement on the
rights or claims of existing railways, or i njury t* private property.
A portion of the shares will be reserv, ed, at the discretion of the
Committee, for such railway companies as this line may form junc-
tions, or be connected with.

The liability of each shareholder will 1 4 restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of his subscriptio n ; and power will be taken
by the Act to allow interest, at the rat sof 41. per oentum per an-
num, upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until
the completion of the railway.
Applications for shares may be addree sed, in the annexed form, to
either of the Solicitors; the Secretary, at the temporary offices
of the Company, No. 41, New-str ;et, Huddersfield, or to
any of the undermentioned sharebrc kers, viz.:—Messrs. Bally
and Hammond, Angel-court, Throgmc zton-street, and Mr. John
