FREEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
(The most agreeable Purgative.)
Containing in a highly concentrated form all the active
principle of senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and
griping properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to
the taste, that children will take it with a positive relish.
The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has
obtained for it the distinguished patronage of Her Ma-
jesty—the Queen Dowager—the following Physicians to
Her Majesty and the Queen Dowager, Sir C. M. Clark.
Bart., M.D., Dr. Ferguson, and Dr. Locock—Sir David
Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Nobles, and
Families of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians
and Medical Men in London, who have been for several
years, and now are, in the daily habit of prescribing and
recommending it as the best and safest domestic aperient
for females and children—the aged and delicate—the
nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those
suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or bead ache, and
as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy,
and children during dentition.
Impelled by a sense of duty, confident of conferring a
great national benefit, the proprietor proudly submits it
to the patronage of a discerning public, assured that a
single trial will convince every one of its inestimable value
as a pleasant, safe, and efficacious domestic aperient, the
moderate price of which places it within the reach of every
family. Sold by all respectable Vendors of Medicine, in
Bottles at Is., 2s. 6d., 55., 12s. fid. end 20s. each.
CAUTION—The great celebrity this medicine has attain-
ed, having induced many druggists in Scotland and Eng-
land to put up for sale, base arid worthless imitation, to
the serious injury of the original Preparation. Purchasers
are therefore requested to ask for Freeman's Sweet Es-
sence of Senna, each genuine bottle of which is signed
John Freeman.

TESTIMONIAL.
48, Stamford-street, London, August 2, 1844.
Sir,—l have much pleasure in bearing testimony to
your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which
contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi-
ple of that Valuable Domestic Aperient. I have taken it
out with me twice to India, and having found it to preserve
the active principle of Senna quite free from fermentation,
1 consider it admirably adapted for persons travelling
abroad: and am quite sure, that no person who knew its
value, would ever take a voyage without a supply of your
Sweet Essence of Senna.
I remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
R. MAPLETON, Surgeon.

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 average 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 Huddersfield 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 important 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 thR 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 Henley, 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
stare merely the fact, that the distance from Huddersfield
to Sheffield by the present route of the Manchester and
Leeds, and North Midland Railways, is 464 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 ant;cipate 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 £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. Porrea and SMITH, Leeds ; Mr. RICHARD
BOWLBY, Leeds ; Messrs. MOORE and GATLIFFE,
