THIS Company is formed for the construction of a
Railway from Liverpool to Leeds, in a direct course,
passing from near the Bur) Terminus of the Liverpool and
Bury Railway, throngh Bury, Rochdale, and Halifax, to
Leeds. By this Line a saving of nearly thirty miles will
be effected over the present tedious and circuitous route.
The Surveys for deposit with the Clerks of the Peace
have been ordered, and the Provisional Committee will
take every necessary measure for bringing the Line before
Parliament in next Session, confident of a successful re-
sult. In the mean time, it is sufficient to add, that this
Line is most powerfully supported, and is imperatively
called for to connect Leeds with Liverpool in a direct
route, and to join the latter port by Railway with Hull on
the opposite coast. The traffic through this district in
goods alone is such, that, spite of the advantages conferred
by the present circuitous Railways, so large a proportion
of the traffic between Liverpool and Leeds is carried by
the tedious route of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal that
the Shares of the latter Company, on which £lOO have
been paid. continue selling at £555.
For the investment of Capital few undertakings can
present such advantages as the present, accommodating
as it will an immense and daily increasing traffic, and
running through the heart of the manufactilting districts.
If arrangements beneficial to this Company can be made
with other existing or projected Lines, the Provisional
Committee will take power to enter into and carry out
such arrangements, and these may result in such a Line
being constructed between the proposed termini, in com-
bination with existing Lines, as may enable the Directors
materially to reduce the amount of the capital.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, accom-
panied with satisfactory References, (without which no
application will, on any account, be attended to,) may be
