strictlyfto adhere:—
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn aad Dereham -RailWay Companies,

SOLICITORS.
Mr. Wiliam Barker 1 New-street, Huddersfield
➢lessrs. Brook and Freeman

The object of this undertaking is to Corm a continuous line of rail-
way from Leeds to Liverpool, by extending the lines already made,
er 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.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railways, and
from Huddersfield the proposed line will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Eirchencliffe, and Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stainland and Greet'and, through Bark'sland, the Vale of ftipponden,
and by Rochdale to Bury, in Lancashire, where It will join the ter-
minus
of the Liverpool and Bury lino of railway.
In addition to completing a direct communication from Liverpool
to Leeds; Hull; 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 pop•tlation,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, au 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 jlinction therewith at Rochdale.
This line, when completed, is. addition to the advantages
which ;it presents.as a through line, pass through a succession of val-
leys thickly studded with mills and manu►actories, consuming a
large quantity of raw materials and coal, all of which are brought
front 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 sul 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 4L per cent. per
annum .on the amounts paid on their shares from the respective times
of payment to the Hines of opening the railway.
Applications for shares may be addressed, in the subjoined form, to
any or the undermentioned Sharebrokers, Viz:—Motsra. Hill, Fawcett
and Hill, Threadneedle-street, London; Mr. David Kinnear, Edin
burgh ; Messrs. W. Moore and Co., Messrs. J. Gatliff and Co.,

mittee will be published in a few days.

LOCAL SOLICITOR—SamueI Shepherd, Esq. NorthaUeitan.
By this line of railway it is intended to connect the free port of
Stockton with the manufacturing districts of the West Riding of
Yorkshire and the whole of Lancashire.
This important object will be attained at a trifling outlay of capital,
and ensure an amply remunerative traffic.
The line will be constructed from or near Stockton-on-Tees, to
or near to Northallerton, a distance of only eighteen miles, where it
will form &junction with the Great North of England Railway, which
will be traversed to Thirsk ; and from that place the communication
with Leeds and the other important manufacturing towns will be
completed by a railway already sanctioned by Parliament.
It will be Seen, therefore, that the communication by railway be-
tween the tree port of the Tees and the town of Leeds will be com-
pleted by the formation of " The Stockton, Northallerton, and Leeds
Itailway.” The advantages of this undertaking are too numerous
to specify in an advertisement ; but merchants at all acquainted with
the immen'e export and import trade of the West Riding and of
Lancashire, bill at once perceive how important it is to open to that
trade a port which, whilst it is as advantageous as any other in point
of distance, possesses facilities and immunities which none other
can offer.
From the favourable locality of the port of Stockton, there ii no
doe.bt that, with the additional facilities for the importation and
transit of merchandise which this railway will afford, the port will
occupy a leading position amongst those on the Eastern coast of
England.
The project has received very extensive local support ; and almost
every landowner, through whose property the line is intended to pass,
has already signified his assent to the measure.
The line of the country•has been surveyed by an engineer of talent

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyro, and
Lancaster, to Nevicastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the. valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh,
and Kirkby Stephen; and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle.. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle. • •
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towas
Enid ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, aid Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantigeous to the interests i. Ake
Company. Power will be applied for to :ilOw interest at the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the Act' to the
opening'of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only. . .

SECRETARY—WiIIiana Eanyard,
The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham,
Coventry, and Leicester, with-the eastern coast by the nearest route,
and to supply an important link of communication between the town
of Spalding and the eastern coast, and the western aid midland
districts.
Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Derekam,
Lynn, and Holbeack Railways,
..the line will proceed by Bourn,
Witham, Castle Bythara, south Wytham, and Wymondham„ to IL
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus tbrming, ly the ityston and Peterborough and Mid-
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of 'Leicester, via Bur-
ton-upon-Trent, to-Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direst line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is notunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, Is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply from the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will o'stain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Weiland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active
abeeenstenantedruedig

CHARING-CROSS-BRIDGE.
(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the proprietors of the Charing-cross-bridge
took place to day at the offices of the Company, Villiers-
street, for the purpose of considering the offer made to the
Directors, by Mr. Fuller, of Parliament-street, for the pur-
chase of the rights and properties of the Company, and for
authorising such further proceedings as might be deemed ex-
pedient.
Mr. WM. HAWES, on taking the chair at one o'clock,
called upon the secretary to read the advertisement calling
the meeting, upon which
Mr. WM. CorE, of 85, St. Martin's- lane, put in a protest
against the sale, leasing, or disposing of the bridge, or
the Directors doing any act that tended to cause the dissolu-
tion of the Company, or deteriorate the value of its property.
He was determined to keep the thirty-one shares of which he
was possessed for a permanent investment.
The protest having been read,
The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting, and after
recounting the different proceedingsthat had occurred, and the
interview that had taken place between himself, Mr. Fuller,
Mr. Jackson, and his solicitor, stated that the drafts of agree-
ment had been so altered by the solicitor of Mr. Jackson that
it was considered necessary that a further adjournment
should take place for a week, in order that com-
munication should be made upon the subject. The clauses
to which the greatest objection was entertained were,
obliging the Bridge Company to make the bridge a passage
for railway carriages, and also to pay interest upon the pur-
chase-money till the contract was completed.
Mr. FEW and Mr. DUKE, the solicitors of Mr. Jackson,
addressed the meeting with respect to the first clause that
was objected to. All that was intended by it was that
the Bridge Company should afford them all the necessary
facilities to enable them to go to Parliament next session for
paver to enable them to convert the bridge into one for rail-
way traffic.
The CHAIRMAN said the Bridge Company were willing to
do that, but they must object to the payment of interest for
the purchase-money.
After some further discussion, the meeting was a ljr d
to Thursday next, the 6th November, at half-past or e
o'clock.
