BUXTON, MACCLESFIELD, STOCKPORT,
AND WARRINGTON RAILWAY.

(Provisionally Registered.)
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

This Railway will commence at Parkside, communicating with
the Liverpool and Manchester and North Union Railways, and
proceed by Warrington, so as to unite with the line about to be
constructed by the Grand Junction Company from Huyton on the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway to Warrington, and with the
lines projected from Warrington to Birkenhead and Liverpool; it
wilt then proceed up the valley of the river Bollin to Altrincliam.
Here a line will branch off to Stockport. It will continue up
the Bollin Valley to Wilmslow and Macclesfield, connect itself
with the various lines of railway there, and proceed thence to
Buxton, where it will join the line to Ambergate and Nottingham
on the one hand, and to Sheffield and Great Grimsby on the other.
This Railway has a two-fold object in view. First, to connect
the towns of Macclesfield and Stockport, and all the various rail.
ways which centre in those two places, with the ports of Liver.
pool, Birkenhead, Fleetwood, and the north of England ; and,
secondly, to form a connecting link in the chain of railways from
those districts with Nottingham and the central portions of Eng-
land.

As to the first object, this line will provide the shortest route from
the large, populous, and rapidly increasing towns and vicinities of
Stockport and Macclesfield, and will be a great accommodation to
the manufacturers and inhabitants, for their foreign commodities
and raw produce, as well as their manufactures.
In the second place, this line will form an important
integral I.nk in the line of railway communication
with the central districts of England. By its connexion
with the railway which proceeds south-east from Buxton,
it connects itself with Derby and Nottingham, and by its
junction with another railway at or near Buxton, running north-
ea;t, it offers a ready communication with Sheffield, Lincolnshire,
and the port of Great Grimsby. Its length will be about 36 miles.
It is brought out by the inhabitants and landowners of the district
through which it passes ; and the Provisional Committee has strong
reason to anticipate the cordial co-operation of the railways, with
which it forms a junction. _ _ _

A large proportion of the:shares will be appropriated tothe land-
owners and tho,e locally interested.

A Prospectus will be published in a few days, with the names of
Provisional Committee, Engineers, Bankers, &c. The shares are
intended to be 20/. shares, on which 21. 10s. will be paid on allot.
