THE intention of making a Railway from Huddersfield
to join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway near to
Peniston, and thereby to open a direct Railway commu-
nication to Sheffield, and thence to the South and East of
England, has been long entertained; and various inspec-
tions and surveys of the intermediate country have satis-
fied the promoters that a good working locomotive line
may be obtained, at an avenge cost per mile not exceed-
ing that of the Sheffield and Manchester and other similar
Railways.
By the proposed Sheffield and Lincoln Line, which will
join the Sheffield and Manchester Railway at Sheffield, a
direct communication with the East and Midland Coun-
ties, and with London, will be afforded.
The distance between the termini of this Railway is
about 13 miles, and the line is intended to commence at
the Station of the Iluddersfield and Manchester and
Huddersfield and Dewsbury Lines, at Huddersfield,
whereby one Station will be made to serve the three lines,
a higher level will be obtained to start from than the place
previously selected, and other importanb.advantages de-
rived.

The junction of the three lines at Huddersfield, and
the commencement of this Railway upon a level conside-
rably higher than was originally contemplated, will neces-
sarily involve considerable alterations in the line, and a
revision of it throughout, from which many improvements
are anticipated ; and the Engineers will immediately re-
inspect the country, make their additional surveys, and
definitively lay down the line, to enable an application
for an Act to be made to Parliament in the ensuing Ses-
sion. In doing this, no pains will be spared to procure
the best line the country affords, as well as to accommo-
date Honley, New Mill, Holmfirth, and the other manu-
facturing and populous places in its proximity.
It will here be sufficient, it is conceived, without parti-
cularising the savings in distance which this Railway will
effect between the several towns and places North of
Huddersfield, and those South and East of Sheffield, to
state merely the fact, that the distance from Huddersfield
to Sheffield by the present route of the Manchester and
Leeds, and North Midland Railways, is 46.1 miles, and
that by the proposed Railway and the Sheffield and Man-
chester it will only be about 25 or 26 miles.
The consumption of Coal at Huddersfield, and the ma-
nufacturing district to which this Railway will be made,
is well known to be immense; and it is no unimportant
feature in the undertaking, that the far-famed Coal-field
of Silkstone, and also the Barnsley, Thurgoland, and
several other beds of Coal, will be made accessible,
whereby a saving of no less than 2s. 6d. a ton will, it is
calculated, be effected to the consumer; and it is scarcely
too much to anticipate that the line will become almost a
second Stockton and Darlington Railway.
The extensive passenger and goods traffic from Brad-
ford, Halifax, Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Honley, Holm-
firth, New Mill, and other populous manufacturing places
in the vicinity, which may fairly be expected to come
upon the Railway, as well as the large coal traffic alluded
to, justifies the promoters in assuming that the under-
taking must prove not only a great public convenience,
but a profitable investment to the Shareholders.
It is proposed to apply for powers in the Act of Incor-
poration to lease or sell the Railway to the Sheffield and
Manchester Railway Company, in case the Proprietors
should deem it advisable, as well as a power to pay inte-
rest to the Shareholders upon calls paid up, after a rate
not exceeding 4 per cent. per annum, until the completion
and opening of the entire line.
A deposit of X 3 per Share is to be paid on the allotment
of the Shares, and Subscribers will be required to sign the
Parliamentary Deed and Subscribers' Agreement at such
time and place as the Committee shall appoint.
A considerable number of Shares having already been
applied for, an early allotment of the Shares is intended
to be made ; and no application for Shares will be received
after Monday, the seventh day of October instant.
Applications for Shares, in the form hereunder given,
are requested to be made to the Solicitors, or to the fol-
lowing Sharebrokers
Messrs. POTTER and SMITH, Leeds; Mr. RICHARD

BOWLBY, Leeds ; Messrs. MOORE and GATITIFTZ
