The present Company has been formed for the purpose of este-
bli‘hing Docks at the Harbour of Wyre, 32 miles north of Liver-
pool, on the Lancashire coast.

harbour itself is safe, most eligible, and easy of access ; and
this fact is most fully borne out by the report of the Admiralty Su:-
Veyor, who, after recommending three trivial alterations in the
channel, states—" It would then offer one fair long leading mark
from sea, independent of buoys; be totally independent of pilots,
aryl a moderate proportion of intelligence would only be required of
the masters of vessels seeking shelter therein."
The Preston and Wyre Railway, terminating at the entrance of
the Dock, goods brought by ships will be lifted out of their holds,
placed on the railway train, and, in one hour after be in the very
centre of the northern manufacturing districts of the county, and
vice versa, without a fraction of charges more than if they had been
landed from the ship and housed within the dock walls—an advan-
tage no other commercial sea-port enjoys ; and thereby securing a
large saving in expense of labour, carriage, &c., and ensuring a
quick despatch of business ; to which may fairly be added the very
low charge that will be made for land cartage from Wyre to Preston,
when it is remembered that the railway will be completed through-
out the line for less than a quarter of what others usually cost, viz.,
6,0a0t.- per mile, instead of from 20,0001 to 30,0001.
The extensive increase of trade from all parts of the world, but
more particularly from the United States, Egypt, the Eastern Ar-
chipelav, New South Wales, and other rapidly rising colonies in
Australia and Van Diemen's Land, together with the large addition
to the entries into the port of Liverpool within the last five years,
(showing an annual increase of 700,000 tons,) and also of manufac-
tories and population in the northern districts of the county ; all of
them fully justify the establishment of another sea-port on the coast
of Lancathire, and for which Wyre is most eligibly situate, and in
every way suitable, and holds out a certainty of success to the under-
taking.
It is intended that the instalments, as they shall be respectively
paid, shall bear interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum,
payable half-yearly.
Half the capital required has been already subscribed for by the
Directors and their friends.
Applications for Shares must be directed, post-paid to the Secre-
tary, or to
torteiher of the Agents ; and the Directors will proceed,
from time me, to appropriate the remaining 1,000 Shares as
they may deem expedient.
Further particulars and prospectuses may be had on application
at the Company's Teinprary Offices, 82, Cornhill.
