THE PROJECTED NORWICH and WEST
NORFOLK RAILWAY, by the valley of the Wensum.
We, the undersigned (owners and occupiers or land, in the district
proposed to be traversed by the above Railway, and in its immediate
neighbourhood), do hereby give notice, that we have come to a re-
solution to oppose the above project by all means in our power, as
we are of opinion that the entire division of West Norfolk will be
much better supplied with railway accommodation by the projected
NORWICH AND DEREHAM DIRECT RAILWAY, in connezion
with the Lynn and Derehaai Ragway, and the projected line from
Dereham to Fakenham and Wells; and we are also of opinion that
the DEREHA3i DIRECT LINE is entitled to the decided pre-
ference of the public, from the additional advantages which it affords
as a direct communication from Norwich, not only to the ports of
Lynn and Wells, but also to the northern districts of the kingdom.

SOLICITOIB.
Mr. Wiliam Barker
I New-street, Huddersfield.
Messrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending tile lines already made,
or sanctioned by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, for which extension a line of rail-
way only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed line will com-
mence at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliamcet has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line wlll proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stabilancland Greetland, through Bark'sland, the Tale of ftipponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will join the ter-
minus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Mull, and Goole, by the shortest practicable route, and by
a much smaller outlay of capital, than by any other proposed line, it
will provide for a large and important manufacturing population,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, ax outlet
to the south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction
Railway, and to Manchester and to North and South Lancashire by
the railways above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester
Railway, by a proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, will, ii addition to the advantages
which it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manufactories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
from a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become ab-
solutely necessary, and there can be no doubt that au ample return
will be realised for the outlay of capital required.
The distance between Huddersfield and Rochdale by the present
line of railway is thirty miles, which by the proposed railway will be
reduced to seventeen miles.

The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the right of enter-
ing into any arrangements with existing railway companies that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow Interest to the shareholders at the rate of 41. per cent. per
annum on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to tke times of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any of the undermentioned Sharebrokers, viz.—Messrs. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin-
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,
Messrs. Wilson and Hollowell, Mr. Thomas Parrott, Mr. Frederick
Turner, Messrs. John Atkinson and Co., Messrs. Tempest and Co.,
Messrs. Mooney and Hickes, Huddersfield ; Messrs. John Young and
Co., Mr. C. E. Langdon, Leeds ; Mr. Hervey, Mr. Charles Clay,

Messrs. Cameron, Bagenove, and Taunton, Messrs. Lloyd and Price,
Liverpool; Messrs. Cardwell and Sons, and Messrs. Lynnill and Ber-
lyn, Manchester; or to the Solicitors to the Company.
The names of a highly-respectable and influential Provisional Com-

mittee will be published Ina few days.
