BOLTON AND PRESTON RAILWAY,The
works on this railway are progressing favourably. The
line to Chorley will be opened on the 23d of December.
The contractor for the tunnel at Chorley is using great
exertions, and there is no doubt but the whole line will
be completed and opened to the public in September
next. Some conception of the magnitude of the work
at the tunnel may be formed, when we state that seven
steam-engines have been found necessary to work the
pumps, having a power of nearly sixty horses. The
last dry weather has had an exceedingly good effect, the
quantity of water being much less in consequence. The
dimensions of the tunnel will be 20 feet by 22 feet 6
inches; its length about 300 yards. A portion of the
permanent rails is already laid on the line from the tun•
