SoLicITORS--Mallaby, Townsend, and Newall, Birkenhead and
Liverpool.
This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing the best
railway communication from the Birkenhead Docks, from the centre
of Liverpool, by a southern outlet, and from the mineral districts of
Wales, to tile manufacturing districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, and
Yorkshire.
The lines of railway required to accomplish this important

design may be generally described as, for the first object com-
mencing at the Birkenhead Docks, and proceeding to War-
rington, whence one line will be continued to Stockport, forming a
junction near Altrincham with the Manchester South Junction, and
Altrincham Railway, and at Stockport, with the Manchester and
Birmingham and the Stockport and Ashton Railways, and another
line to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, forming a junction
with the North Union Railway at Parkside, and with the Bolton and
Leigh Railway at the Kenyon Junction; for the second object, com-
mencing at the centre of Liverpool, and thence through Toxteth
Park to Warrington, connecting the line with the docks of Liverpool
and the Herculanean Docks, and forming a junction at Warrington
with the line from the Birkenhead Docks and Chester ; and for the
third object, commencing at Chester, where it would receive the
traffic of the Chester and Holyhead, the North Wales Mineral, and
the Shrewsbury lines, and proceeding to the best point of junction
vrilti the line from the Birkenhead Docks.
Without dilating on the ulterior communications which the lines
thus described will afford, the great and immediate object is enough
to justify their construction. Upon the broad ground of commercial
convenience, the public importance of constructing a railway con-
necting the Birkenhead Docks with the manufacturing districts, is
sufficiently established by the well-considered report of the Board of
Trade on the Birkenhead, Manchester, and Cheshire Junction Railway.
As this Company is based on the Birkenhead, Manchester, and
Cheshire Junction Railway Company, all holders of Scrip in that
line will be entitled to an equal number of Shares in this Company,
and a proportionate return of deposit, as well as an additional allot-
ment of one whole Share in this Company for every two Shares now
held.
In order that the Company may secure the most perfect access to
the Birkenhead Docks and the Welsh Railways, steps are being
taken to purchase the Chester and Birkenhead Railway.
Should negotiations terminate satisfactorily, an addition will be
made to the capital of this Company.
Applications for Shares must be made to the Secretary, at the offices
of the Company at Birkenhead, on or before the thirtieth day of June
inst., in the form at the foot of this prospectus ; the Committee
however, expressing their intention to prefer local interests.
