From returns reeently t*n, it has been asccrtaine that
notwithstanding the watt of any direct tominunication bet Ween •
the town of Blackpool arkd Lytham, the number of persons
travelling belween the tiio placee; (luring the Sithinier iiiOntht
alone; averages upwards of 100,000. .It is now proposed to connect these two favourite watering
places of Lancashire by
.means of a lailway, which, though
following the line of coast, w'..11 not be more than 7a miles in
length, and will thus bring tie two places within about fifteen
minutes' ride 'of each other. •
The country through which the proposed Railway is intended
to be made, is more than ordinarily favourable to its construc-
tion, berg; 'nearly level ; ,and an arrangement has been effected
with Colonel Clifton (Who owns about three-fifths of the land
required) for the purchase of his land at a price all but nominal.
From estimates which have been carefully made, it appears
that the present amount of traffic, if conveyed by the proposed
railway at, very low fairs, is sufficient to yield an immediate
return of more than Lfi per Cent. on the cost of the undertaking ;
there can be no fioAbt, therefore, that the investment would
be a gaze and profitable one, as, experience shows that a very
great increase of traffic'most commonly results from the open-
ing of a new Line of Railway.
When, in addition to the requirements of the present traffic,
it is considered that the proposed Railway would open out a
part of the Lancashire coast most admirably adapted for sea-
bathing, there can be little doubt that the schemeivould obtain
the sanction of Parliament.
Application for, Kkarcs,(in.the subjoined form) naly be made
to Messrs, John Raitton and Sons, sharebrokers, .Manchester ;
Mr. h.. Ashton. sharebroker, Liverpool; Mr. H. 13. Jones,
