The object of this Company is to afford to the town and port of
Wisbech, the centre of the rich agricultural district of the Isle of Ely,
the benefit of that conainunicAtion by railway of which it is now en-
tirely destitute. .
Th;s will be effected by the conctruction of a railway to commence
at or near the March station of the .Ely and Peterborough Deviation
line, proceeding thence to Wisbeeli, thence to Sutton St. Mary,
there forming a junction with either the T.,ast Coast or Grand Union
Railway, or any other railway completin communication to Lin-
colnshire, which may obtain the sanction Or' the Legislature. A
direct communication will thus be formed between._ the Metropolis,
the Midland, the Eastern, and the Manufacturing ConOes.
The districts embraced by this undertaking are populous, and have
a very considerable local traffic, the population of Wished!, At. Peter
alone, exceeding. 10,000. The quantity of -wheat sold in the marks, at
Wisbech weekly averages 5,000 quarters, and the arrivals of whet
from the port of Wisbeeh have In many instances been known very'
materially to affect the market in Mark-lane ; in addition to wide)*
there are extensive sales of other grain, Hour, seed, wool, cattle, fritt.
and potatoes, the whole of, which is exported to the consuming
markets ; the imports consisting of coals, timber, oilcakcs, bale goods,.
slates, sand, lime, and general merchandise. The return of the Port.
dues for 1844 exhibits 1_5,395 tons, and these dues are rapidly in—
creasing in amount. A great portion of the merchandise must pass
along this line, and cannot fail of yielding a productive revenue. .
The length of line is about twenty miles, and passes through a
country having an even and solid surface; thus, with all the adarm-
tages ,of water and land carriage of materials, affording facilitt
which will render the works inexpensive, and. insure their early com—
pletion. Added to these advantages, the line will form an integrat
portion of the main trunk line with the shortest and most diret route
between Hull and London. By its connexion with the Ely and.
Peterborough Railway at March, a transit will he afforded through
the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham to Bristol,
and the south west of England,and through the Syston branch of the
midlands, the north west of England, with Liverpool, Wales, and Ire--
land. will also be placed in immediate connexion with Wisbech anti
Its locality.

Another important feature in this undertaking is, that the serious
inconvenience felt by every class during severe winters, from the
river Nene being blocked with ice at Wisbech (causing a total stag-
nation of the usual commerce, whilst the warehouses may be over-
loaded with corn, and the price of coals increased threefold, to the
great distress and misery of the poorer classes), will, by this railway.
be entirely obviated.

The survey has been completed, and application will be made for
an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. A large reserve of
shares having been made for existing companies with which the pro-
posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal of
the Directors.

Applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a refer-
ence to a Banker or one of the Provisional Committee, may be made
to the respective Solicitors.

LOCAL AGENT—Chester--John Walker, Esq.
The promoters of this Railway, encouraged by the favourable sup-
port which has been given to the project, and in compliance with
various recommendations they have received, have determined upon
the addition of a branch to Birkenhead, which, although it will
manifestly tend to the advantage of the Shareholders and the public,
will be attended with comparatively little additional outlay. The
project will still retain its chief characteristic of a direct railway,
and by its connexion, near Warrington, with the Grand Junction
Company, is sufficiently comprehensive, without resorting to a com-
plicated system of branch lines, or materially coufficting with the in-
terests of existing companies.
The line will commence at the city of Chester, and proceed by way
of Trafford, Frodsham, and Preston Brook, to Warrington, thence
by Lymm and Stretford direct to Manchester. From a point on the
main line, near Frodsham, a branch will be taken to join the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, so as to unite Manchester in the most
direct manner possible, with the docks now being formed at Bir-
kenhead.
As Manchester, from its geographical position, is the centre of rail-
way communication between Scotland and the most populous dle-
tilde of England, eb Chester, from a like cause, is the great centre of
railway communication between the capitals of Ireland and of Eng-,
land. To connect these two points by a direct and independent line
of railway must, therefore, be of the utmost importance, not only in
a local point of view, but to the whole commercial Intercourse of the
country.
This line will be the most direct route, by Holyhead, to Ireland.
and will be. in all respects, by. far .the preferable channel of inter-
course and transit between Ireland and the great manufactu,ing dis-
tricts of England. By the railways connecting Chester with Wrex-
ham, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Gloucester, and South Wale.,
this will be the nearest route from Manchester to the south-
western parts of England, and to the minerals of Monmouth and
Glamorganshire- The communication with Bristol, Gloucester, and
Exeter will be speedy and direct. On reference to the map, it will
be seen that a very considerable distance will be saved by this line,
as compared with the present circuitous routes by Crewe and by-
Birkenhead ; the former being 52 miles, and the latter 46 miles.
while the proposed line is only 34 miles, saving in the one case 16
miles, and in the other 12 miles, besides the serious inconvenience, loin
of time, and expense of passing through Liverpool, and crossing the
water at that place.
It is confidently expected that this line will be the precursor of
another scheme, of no ordinary importance—namely, to render
Chester an efficient port for large vessels.
This subject was entertained by Sir John Rennie to 1835, and sub-
sequently, in the same year, by the late Mr. Chapman, who wrote an
able report upon the, capabilities of the river Dee. It was again
investigated, in 1837, by Sir John Rennie and Mr. George Remington,
and the practicability of forming a good navigable channel for vessels
of large burden, together with docks at Chester, was then fully and
clearly established.
The entrance channel would commence at Dawpool, which is easy-
of access (and infinitely preferab'e, in point of access and safety; to
the docks at Liverpool or Birkenhead), for vessels of large burden,
during eight hours every tide, both at springs and neaps; and the
elll of the lock would be sufficiently low to admit vessels drawing 20
feet water to enter at all tides.
This railway, therefore, in connexion with the imposed docks,
will render to Chester and Manchester incalculable advantages. To.
the former it will restore the proper position natural to so important
a city ; to the latter it will give another outlet, by sea, to the ma-
nufacturing districts, free of the heavy port charges, dues, and
risks to which the produce is now subject. It has not been thought
advisable to combine the two objects in one company at present,
but should it be found requisite, the two may hereafter be amalga-
mated.
Merits of no ordinary degree, therefore, may fairly be claimed for
this railway, whether taken in connexion with the proposed docks,
or as standing alone, combining as it does all the advantages of any
other lines, with this great addition, that it will be the high road to
the most convenient outport of Manchester, and will be quite inde-
pendent of any associations or influences that might tend to oppose
the growing desire for a means of direct and independent communi-
cation between Manchester and the port of Chester.
The line has been carefully examined. There are no difficult
earth-works to be encountered ; on the contrary it will be cheap.
and of easy formation. Power is reserved to the Committee to de-
viate from the proposed line in the vicinity of Manchester, should
ulterior arrangemeuts render it expedient.
