MIDLAND, 'BARNSLEY, DEWSBURY,
LEEDS, AND BRADFORD, RAILWAY.

Provisionally Registered.
The object of- this Line is to make a short and direct communica-
tion between Bradford, Cleckheaton, Ileekmondwike, and Dewsbury,
with Barnsley, Sheffield, and all intermediate places to London. By
the present route from London, the Sheffield and Barnsley passengers
and goods are brought by way of Normanton, a distance of 12% miles
from Barnsley, and then either by Leeds to Bradford, a distance of
at least 20 miles, or by the Leeds' and Manchester Line to Brighouse,
a distance of at least 20 miles, making the total distance from Barnsley
to Bradford, by Leeds, 32 miles, and by the Manchester line, 42
miles. The distance from _Dewsbury to Barnsley, by the present
Railway, is 22 miles. The, promoters of this line propose to coin-
Menee thit Railway by a junction with the North Midland line, at a
point below Barnsley, to Barnsley, and fronf thence in a:di/we-course
to Dewsbury,
,reserving to themselves the power Of making the line
le-Bradford throtigtt -the, Cleckheaton Valle); provfeted ,the West
Riding Junction and West Yorkshire arnal‘amated Companies do not
settee next session of Parliament apply to make that part of the line.
The line at Dewsbury will make a junction with the Leeds and Dews-
bury Railway, West Riding Junction, and West Yorkshire
Amalgamated Scheme, and the present Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way, at or near a place called '1 hornhill Lees, making the distance, as
the crow tiles, to be as follows
Barnsley to Bradford... .... ................. 19 miles.
Barnsley to Dewsbury ..... •• • 10 „
Barnsley to Leeds •• ..
This line will, therefore, effect the following saving in distances:—
To Derby, Loudon, &c. from Bradford, about.. 11 miles.
To Barnsley from Bradford.— •• . • 14 „
To Sheffield from Bradford ••••. • . • •• 14 „
To Barnesley from Dewsbury....
To Barnsley from Leeds •••••• • • • • • • ..... .• 3 ~
The proposed line, in conjunction with the Leeds and Dewsbury,
West Riding Junction and West Yorkshire Railways, will bring, by
the shortest route, to the populous manufacturing districts between
Barnsley, Dewsbury, and Bradford, the traffic from Leicester, Derby,
London, &c. •
This Railway will also open one of the richest coal districts in the
kingdom.
If the presenillull and BarnsleyJunction Railway project should Le
obtained, this Railway will be a direct line to Hull. And in conjunc-
tion with other projects now before the public, will be a direct line,
from Sheffield, Barnsley, Dewsbury, &c., to the North.
When the survey is completed a detailed prospectus, witlithe names
of •the Provisional Committee, will be published. The Capital re-
quired for the undertaking to be divided into Shares of 201. each, and
two guineas deposit will then also be announced.

•` The 'Committee, when Pppointed in October last, had much diffi-
culty to contend with, in consequence of the shortness of the period
within which the Company, then only projec.ed, had to be formed—
the capital to be subscribed for•- the surveys to be made—and the
other steps to be taken, so as to bring the undertaking before the
Board of Trade, and properly prepared for the opposition which
there was every reason to expect hi Parliament from other com-
panies, whose preparations were then far advanced.

_ .
" Having prepared and issued the prospectus of the Company, your
Committee Immediately proceeded to look for the necessary profes-
sional assistance, and were fortunately able, after some little delay,
to secute the services of gentlemen of experience; well qualified
for the duties fo'be 'performed ; and your Committee feel it due to
*hem to state that they devoted themselves zealously to the business,
and their exertions have conduced, in a great degree, to the
success of the undertaking.

A deputation from the Committee proceeded to London, and
with the assistance of the solicitors there, established a highly in-
fluential London Committee, who cordially co-operated with the de-
putation; and, by their continued attention, have most effectually
promoted the interests of the Company.
" The Committee, in many communications with the Board of
Trade, strongly urged the merits of their case, but were disap-
pointed in their expectations, on finding that Board d tennined
to report, as they afterwards did, against the construction of
that part of the line between Newry and Armagh, under the erro-
neous impression that the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway
(then also under their consideration) would afford sufficient
accommodation to the town of Newry. Your Committee, however,
being convinced that adequate accommodation could not be so af-
forded, and that the interests, not only of the town of Newry, but of
the public in general, required a direct Railway from Newry to
Armagh, considered it their duty to proceed in Parliament for the
entire line, according to the original prospectus; and, notwithstand-
ing the report of the Board of Trade and the powerful opposition of
rival companies, the propriety of the course taken has been fully
established by the result of the contest, in tke progress of which it
was distinctly proved, to the satisfaction of the Committee of the
House of Commons, that a due regard to the public convenience de-
manded the entire railway projected by the Newry and Enniskillen
Railway Company, and that the undertaking would he remunerative
to the proprietors, taking into account only the existing traffic be-
tween the termini, and without giving credit for the increase which
might fairly be expected from the construction of other lines of rail-
way, and for some of which Acts have since been obtained.
" Your Committee feel bound to state, that, at great personal
inconvenience, a deputation from their body, consisting of Mr. John
Boyd, Mr. Lyle, Mr. Jennings, and Mr. Irvine, proceeded to London,
where the three last-mentioned gentlemen remained from their
homes and business, actively engaged for the advantage of the
Company, during a period of several months, and until the success
of the measure was secured. In mentioning the sen-ices by indivi-
duals the kind assistance and untiring exertions of that lamented
Nobleman, the late Marquis of Downshire, must be especially noticed,
as well as the great advantages the Company have derived from the
support and personal attendance of the present Marquis, anti the in-
defatigable exertions, both in and out of Parliament, made by the
Viscount Newry and Monte. The Committee regret, that from the
short interval allowed by Parliament to elapse between the passing
of the Act, and the first general meeting of the Company, they have
been unable to get in all the accounts, so as to be in a situation to
present a detailed statement of the funds, and that they can, at pre-
sent, only state, that after discharging such accounts as have been
rendered, and making paying to the engineers, solicitors, and Par-
liamentary agent, on account of their claims, they have a balance
in hands of over 24,0001. ; and recommend to the incoming
Directors that they immediately proceed to ascertain and settle
the outstanding liabilities, and, with as little delay as possible, pre-
pare and submit to the Proprietors their detailed account.

" YOur Commiftee have felt the necessity of maintaining a cordial
intercourse between the English and Irish Shareholders, who are
mutually interested in the success of this important work, and ar-
rangements have been accordingly entered into for continuing a
London Committee, which cannot fail to have the effect of securing,
by an Interchange of advice and co-operation, the best interests of the
Shareholders at large.
"Your Committee have, further, to report that the necessary
investigations are being actively proceeded with, under the directions
of the engineer, for the construction of the line; and that, having
regard to the present state of the funds of the Company, the Com-
mittee do not think that it will be necessary to make an early call
upon the Proprietors.
" The election of thirteen Directors and two kuditors, for the en-
suing year, is the business tor which the first ordinary meeting has
been called, pursuant to the Act of Parliament."

Resolved—Oii the motion of Mr. Joun HANCOCK, seconded by Mr

P. MURPHY:-

THE DIRECT LONDON AND.HOLYHEAD
AND PORT DYNLLAEN RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered).

The public is respectfully infonned that a Company is in course of
formation for establishing a direct communication between London
and Holyhead and London and Port Dynllaen, thereby effecting
the shortest possible communication between London, Birmingham,
and the centre of England, and Dublin and the whole of Ireland

On reference to the- Railway Map of Ireland it will be seen that
most of the lines in that country converge either at Dublin or Wick.
low, the former being nearly in a direct line with Holyhead and the
latter with Port Dynllaen. This undertaking will therefore unite in
one main line the whole of the Irish traffic to this country; and when
the system of railway communication in Ireland is complete, will
doubtless obtain a very large proportion of the American passenger
traffic which 'will then pass by Port Dynllaen and Wicklow to Va.
lentia Bay as the nearest point to the United States and our North
American colonies.

The present line is in effect nearly identical with that recom-
mended by the Government Commissioners in their reports on the
communication between London and Dublin, and which was then
surveyed with much care ; making allowances, however, for the al-
tered circumstances that have since occurred by the increase of
railways in this country, and availing itself as far as possible of ex-
isting or contemplated lines.

It is intended to proceed by the London and Birmingham Railway
to Birmingham, and thence by one of the now projected lines to
Shrewsbury, or another course will be by the London and Binning-
ham, Trent Valley, Trent Valley and Shrewsbury Railways to the
same point, where this railway commences, and proceeds in the
most direct practicable course to a point near Balla, where the line
forks ; one branch proceeding to Bangor, where it unites with the
Chester and Holyhead and North Wales Railways, employing the
former line to Holyhead, and thus avoiding the enormous expense
entailed by crossing the Menai Stotts ; the other branch proceeding
through a dist)let rich in slate, stone, minerals, &c., by TieUtadoe to
Port l)yntlaen, where it will also unite with the 'North Wales
Railway, which will prove a valuable adjunct to the present
ptoject.
The importance of the undertaking, not only to the treat com-
panies to which it will prove so important a feeder, but also in a
national point of view, as effecting a most Considerable saving of
time and expense on the route to Dublin and the coast of Ireland,
are too great to be oterrated, and too obvious to be required to be
insisted upon. It is clear that the traffic must be unusually large,
and from the surveys made there appears no doubt-That the line can
be constructed at an average cost.
