SOLICITORS.

Mr. Wiliam Barker
Messrs. Brook and Freeman 1 New-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 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 coin-
Melee at the Huddersfield station, between which place and Leeds.
Parliament has already sanctioned the formation of railway's, and
from Huddersfield the proposed lin, will proceed by way of Hillhouse'
Birchencliffe, anti Lindley, and thence along the valley between
Stahtland and Greet'and, through 11,.rk'sland, the Vale of Ripponden,
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, 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•dation,
hitherto without the advantage of railway accommodation, an 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, in addition to the advantages
which it pr. Bents 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
Irons a distance, and transmitting to other districts the produce of
their industry, for which purposes a line of railway has become eh-
' solutely 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 of enter-
ing into any at rangements with existing railway companjes that may
appear desirable. And power will be taken by the Act of Parliament
to allow interest to the shareholders at the rate of 4/. 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. Caitiff and Co.,
