PROSPECTUS.
This important line of railway will commence at a point on the
Manchester and Bolton Railway, between Bolton and larnworth,
running thence In a direct line through Worsley and Patricroft to a
point on the Manchester South Junction and alltrincharn Railway,
with which it will firm a Junction, to Cheadle, where it will unite
with the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and Birmingham
Railway, by which means a direct railway communication will be
opened with Macclesfield, and the various lines of railway proposed
to terminate there.

The great advantage to be derived from a communication between
Bolton and Altrincham, and via Cheadle with Macclesfield, will at
once be seen on reference to the map, not only as a feeder and chan-
nel of communication between existing and projected lines, but also
as supplying the link wanting in the chain of direct communication
between Bolton, Blackburn, and a very large extent of the populous
manufacturing districts and towns of the central part of the county
of Lancaster, with the Staffordshire Potteries, the great iron dis-
tricts, Birmingham, and the metropolis, and consequently the titter-
mediate places in the lines of the various existing and projFcted
railways between Manchester, Macclesfield, and the whole of the
southern portion of the kingdom.

An important feature in this undertaking is, that whilst it will, by
means of existing and projecting lines, open up to the immense agri-
cultural and manufacturing population of Warwickshire, Stafford-
shire, and Cheshire, a direct communication with Southport, Black-
pool, and the c ther watering-places situate on the coast of Lanca-
shire; it will likewise form a continuation of the proposed direct
lines from London (via Macclesfield) to Edinburgh and Glasgow,
either by Fleetwood upon Wyre, or by the Lancaster • and Carlisle

The saving of distance between Macclesfield and Bolton being Im-
portant, whilst the great but unavoidable delays which must be in-
curred In passing through the different termini in Manchester will be
obviated.

Another important feature in this enterprise is, that It will not
materially affect any existing or contemplated lines, and that it will
be able, by uniting itself with them, and with ether projected
lines, and lines now in the course of formation, to increase their mu-
tual traffic to a considerable extent both in passengers and goods ;
and being the means of establishing a principle of reciprocity, cannot
in any manner injure any existing interests.
To the town of Bolton and its neighbouring extensive coal
fields, it is obvious this line will secure the most important advan-
tages! by its connexion with existing lines, and others projected
which will centre there. It need hardly be added that with all
these advantages, a most important traffic for passengers and goods
may be relied upon, independent of which, as the line Itself presents
no engineering difficulties, or other obstacles of importance, and will
be executed at an expense far below the ordinary average, the most
ample security to the capitalist is offered.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
°, obtained, share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is
