This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable
route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the
northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward,
and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and
other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of
Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with
Southport and the west coast of Lancashire.

One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of
the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a
communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will
accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the
places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and
thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver-
pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta-
tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver-
pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south
docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This
portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles In length, and
will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and
thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under-
taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
In the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a
junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed
thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail
itself of the North Union station in p using through the town, pro-
ceeding thence by Ilind'ey, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and
Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Railway In Pendleton.

By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Rai,,., way at
Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of
Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of
new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester,
sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc-
ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man-
chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that
favourite waterlog-place and other manufacturing districts in like
proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive
means of transport, the dispach and economy of a thorough railway
communication.

The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu-
lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field
it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well
as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness
and variety.
This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the
produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the
River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive
means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither are very
great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci-
lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway
communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed-
ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase.
The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be
obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout
is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the
gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties,
and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through
the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of
the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver-
pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed
by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse-
quently in the success, of the undertaking.

rant, make application in the form above, will be entitled to three
Phares in this undertaking for each Southport and Buxton share.
