OLVERHAMPTON, CHESTER, AND
BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered, pursuant to '7 aid 8 Victoria, e. 110.)
Capital 1,000,0001., in 80,000 Shares of 201. each.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The great principal on which the projectors of this important
scheme have acted, is the establishment of a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearest pos-
sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object,
it Is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir-
mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as far as Wolver-
hampton, and thence to :brow out (111,w line in as straight a direction
as possible to Chester, where 2 junetion will be formed with the rail-
way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most
important saving of distance will thus be effected.
D is obvious that such a Scheme is fraught with consequences of
the ii'ghest possible import to the commercial interests of the respec-
tive (inflicts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de-
mands a more direct connnunicetiaa with the midland, southern,
western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall
be completed. and the town iteelf shall have arrived at its destined
greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the most
lucrative of these undertakings.
The Directors, therefore, cot-wait:ins of the great traffic which will flow
from I:2s densely populated termini, propose to construct this lino in
as straight Jt direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense
through traffic which 'will resort to this railway for shortness and
expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of
South Staffordshire, 1411ropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford-
monmeethehire, Leitestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp-
tonshire, and in fact the What* of the eastern counties, as well as
trim London and the Imports& tlietriete to the south, east, and west
of the:me tr. es PIM
Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident
that tn.!. projected It commends itself to the entire inhabitants of
the eounhes already referred to. The eelteme also possesses this fur•
ther and great advantage—that it will, in reality, form a shorter and
more direct Hue to the neighbourhood of Liverpool 4114 the district
adjacent. than any which has hitherto been projected s and by Means
Of the contemplated line from Chester to llolyhead, it will open the
el gnat possible route trout Leaden to Ireland, and thereby avoid the
delay end inconvenience of a pretractesi sea voyage. A cursory inspec-
tion of the Mee of Finglend, and a reference to the plan of this line will
site ebow that the Trent Valley, London and Birpaingtuuti, irm in gharn
and Gloucester. Oxford, Wercester. and Wolverhatupton, as well ea the
projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Beltways, will necessarily be
-valuable tributaries to this important line of railwey.
—he line to be eenetructed by this Company Wlll commence at
W-els rii arn , and proceed through an agricultural district, by
way of 24,,,ket I,:aytent to Cheater ; and although in Its direst (tonne
it lilaT not pfeet through men", towns of importance, the engineering
difficulties of every other route scill be avoided, and powerful local
Influence brought into co-operation wit! this C9MpanY.
In the formation of this line the extensive !roll Cliitrict Of Lilleshall
bee hetet especially regarded ; and by means of the thillilties of
transit . tforded by this Company, the lronmasters of South Statrova=
shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they
have hit/tette/ been unable to do In consequence of the heavy charges
for freight.
The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of
selection, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars.
APPliestions for Shares to be made to Mr. W. S. Vardy, Solicitor, 18,

,This important.line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will
esemse.ence et the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and
-neoteeeetanipent Rattles-, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from
thence, tee war 01 Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it
will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail-
way Ivied, eenverge from Hereford, and run into the west of Eng-
land, anti the immensely populous-coal, iron, and copper districts of
South Wales, unit the important district of central Wales.
The intended railway will, by means of Its connexion with the
Perbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
poetion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway
eeneemeication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal
and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and itaffordshire, and the large
mineral tilatricts of South Wales._ At 'Unitary It will form a June-
lion with tee Worcester and Porthdynilaett Wended railway, and
will be the mile means of eaabling Binnitighetn. Wolverhampton,

»ufactures of ~'..ancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks oiChelphire
end Worceetershh-e, and the agricultural produce of Wales, HereforJ-
rehire, South seeepseere, will have a direct and ebeap transit.
This railway is essential to complete the Insect east hnd west
traSle. The traffic of th.' populous districts embraced by the under-
-tektite will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholders, and a
east augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through
it Mc, will make the stook of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced was an important railway company of the great
traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro-
moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense.
The line Is free from engineering difficulties, and the gradients are
!highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the
:atmospheric principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The prefer-
ence will be given in the allotment of shares to persons locally inta-
:rested iu the line, and no shares will be appropriated except to per-
