tlai;ent• The present circuitous Railway communication between
tittierPool and Preston, and places to the north and northeast, is car.
on by lines originally projected for other purposes, and the traffic
411"in8equently subjected to unnecessary expense, delay, and incon-
ti,,ence, the only existing route being by the Manchester and
Islort,rl)°°l Railway to Parkside, and thereon to Preston by the
horn" Union Railway, A distance of 3Si miles, usually occupying
2i to 2i hours. The distance from Liverpool to Preston by
hi:4°l'ol,Ni direct line, is only 27i miles, which will be traversed
ne hour, thus effecting a saving of 11 miles, and more than
-e-half the time.

1114° the valuable Coal Fields of Bickerstaffe, Lathom, and other
,'ones, hitherto excluded from the benefit of railway communica_
access will be given by the proposed line, while the car.
tiage of, coal will form a source of constant and increasing profit
t°
the Company ; and, by means of a branch to connect with the
tiese_rP.°ol Docks in the immediate vicinity of the terminus, facili.
line will be afforded for the shipment of coal and merchandise. The

clud°Port, is 32i miles, and the estimated cost of construction, in-
Grin '°6 land, stations, engines, and other necessary outlay, is under
thev`., which may be confidently relied on as sufficient, from
• favourable nature of the country through which the line passes,
It isstthe absence of any expensive or difficult engineering works.
Lino o'herefore proposed that the capital of the Company shall be
Ils; 001. (divided into 24,000 shares of 25/. each), with power to
ease it to 700,0001. in the event of its being deemed necessary
• ad"lable by the Directors to continue the line to Preston, with

Pliplans and sections will be made and deposited in corn-
ance with the standing orders of Parliament.
tragic estimate of revenue has been made, based upon the existing
ti,; from which it appears that after making an ample reduc.
