SOLICITORS,

Mr. William Barker,
Messrs. Brook and Freeman,lNew-street, Huddersfield.

The object of this undertaking is to form a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
or sanctioneol by Parliament, from their respective termini at Hud-
dersfield, in Yorkshire, and Bury, in Lancashire, through the iuter-
vetting country between Huddersfield and Bury, for which extension
a line of railway only 25 miles in length is requisite. The proposed
line will commence at the Huddersfield station, between which place
and Leeds Parliament has already sanctioned the mrmation of rail-
ways, and from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way
of Hillhouse, Birchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley
between Stainland and Greetland, through BaTk'sland, the Yale of
Ripponden, and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where it will
join the terminus of the Liverpool and Bury line of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds, Hull, and Gook by the shortest practicable route, and by a
mach 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, an outlet 'to the
south by means of the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Rai*
and to Manchester and North and South Lancashire by the rail
above mentioned, and by the Leeds and Manchester Railway, by a
proposed junction therewith at Rochdale.
This line when completed will, in addition to the advantages which
it presents as a through line, pass through a succession of valleys
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 in-
dustry, for which purposes a line of railway has become absolutely
necessary, and there can be no doubt that an 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 df en-
tering into any arrangements with existing railway companies that
may appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Par-
liament 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 the 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 Hellawell, Mr. Thomas Parratt, S.lr. Frederick Turner,

PROSPECTUS.
This railway will commence by a junction the lines of the
Ely and Huntingdon,
via
the r
and

Mildenhall, to
Eastern Counties, the Lynn and Ely, and the
Railways, at the city of Ely, and proceed thence,

northern markets.
The town of Bury St. Edmunds and the adjacent districts,
the country through which the line will pass, have for
draWn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar,
stones, and other general merchandise, from the port of Lynn, and
have transmitted thither tinturth
fruit, and
other agricultural
While the proposed line will affect the local object of preserving
tuhceer, for their
shipmentew corn,t
ote
the mercantile connexion that has so long subsisted between the
county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it will effect the national
one of affording to the ports of Ipswich and Harwich, and the im.
portant towns of Colchester and Miry St. Edmunds, a direct com-
munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north, and, by
means of the Ely aid Huntingdon, and the proposed Rugby and
Huntingdon Railways, with Birmingham and the west. From
these sources a most ample return on the capital required for the
undertaking may be confidently relied on.
The line is singularly easy of construction, the estimated cost, in-
cluding every contingency, being little above 8,0001. per mile ; it
will not interfere with ornamental grounds of any kind,
and it is not
anticipated that any opposition will be offered by the landowners.
The Provisional Directors are to be at liberty to take all,l4snch
measures as they may deem requisite for obtaining tho necebsafY
powers to construct the line or any part thereof, with such brantihesa
extensions, or alterations, as they shall be advised to adopt ; and fig,
such powers, or any of them, they are to have power to increase the
amount of the capital, to lease or sell the line to, or amalgamate the
same with, the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and
Dereham Railway Companies, or any or either of them, or any other
company or companies.
It is proposed to raise the capital by issuing 10,000 shares of 201.
each, a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share (in compliance with the Standing
Orders of Parliament) to be paid on allotment.
There will be au interval of two months between the calls, and net
more than 5/. per share will be called for at one time.
A Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, in such
fonn and with such clauses as the Provisional Directors may think
right, will lie for signature at the offices of the Solicitors, in London
and Lynn, on payment of the deposit. Arrangements will be made
for transmitting the deeds to the principal provincial towns in or
near which the shareholders may reside, due notice whereof will be
sent to every shareholder by post.

As under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely
and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham, Railway Companies,
a large proportioi of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares, therefore, san be attended to, except from parties locally
interested and of the highest respectability, by whom applica-
tions may be made, in the annexed form, on or before the
13th October, 1845, to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, Lynn,
Norfolk, or to the respective solicitors ; no application, however, can
in any case be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one
of the Provisional Committee, or to the Solicitors or Bankers of the
Company.
