The object of this railway is to provide the best and most direct
Communication between Stockport and Warrington and thence to
Liverpool, which latter object will be effected by means of this rail-
way in conjunction with the extension of their line about to be made
by the Grand Junction Railway Company from Warrington.
At Stockport the line will communicate with the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway and the branch from Stockport to Ashton,
thereby affording to the manufacturing population of Stockport and
its vicinity, and to all the densely populated district intersected by
the Sheffield and Manchester Railway, the most direct approach to
Liverpool

There will be a Junction near Altrincham with the Manchester
South Junction and Altrincham Railway.
Arrangements have been made with the Board of the St. Helens
Railway Company, which will enlance the value of the proposed
line, and negotiations are in progress for giving to Chester and Bir-
kenhead au excellent communication.

The Grand Junction Railway Company have agreed to provide a
portion of the capital, and to Fromote the formation of this line by
every means in their power.

The line will follow the Valley of the Mersey, and presents no
engineering difficulties ; the gradients are extremely good ; the works
are unusually light ; little or no ornamental or valuable property will
be interfered with ; and the project is strongly supported by local
influence.

Anplic'ations for Shares must be made on or before the 22d day or
July instant, in the form at the foot of this prospectus, to any of the
undermentioned parties, viz.—Messrs. Geddes and Drinkwater, share-

The object of this railway is to fonn a direct line of communication
from 'Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shieds, Middlesborough,
Tynemonth, and Sunderland, Seaham Harbour, the rising ports of
Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, and the other ports on the north-east
coast of England, to the Important towns of Clitheroe, Preston, Black-
burn, Bolton, Bury, 'Wigan, Chorley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and
the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire,
Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble
to Clitheroe, where it meets with the proposed extension of the
Blackburn, Damen, and Bolton line from Blackburn to Clitheroe; it
will thence proceed to Settle and Hawes by the most direct course,
and by the ,Valley of the I.7re and the Wensleydale, to the town of
Askrigg and Richmond, near which latter place it will form a Junc-
tion with the Great North of England and Newcastle and Darlington
Railways, by me6ns of the Richmond Branch of the former Railway.
The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication
with each other, inrependently of the intermediate population, may
hg safely Qciejleral-to amount to 570,000 on the north-east—and, on
the south-wt Ft; 1,670,000.

his lino, forming the most (Prect route fr..nn the northern and

(astern districts of England, via Fleetwood, to Belfast and the north
pf Ireland, will greatly facilitate an interchange of commerce be-
tween the two countries. It effects a saving of upwards of forty miles
over the shortest existing route between Newcastle and Liverpool.
The immense population at its termini is a sufficient guarantee of
. the passenger traffic which may he anticipated.
. The line will also afford the greatest facility ,Or the transmission of

coals from the mines of Durham and Lancashire to the towns and
disti lets between the termini. In this article alone a very large traf-
fic iney undoubtedly be anticipated, the price of coals at Settle and
its neighbourhood now varying from 20s. to 225. per ton; while by
means or the Railway coals of the test quality may be supplied to
Settle and'the northern district of the West Riding of Yorkshire and
Lancashire In rineirtantity at from 10s. to 12s. per ton.
The want of direct means of communication between the ports in
the north ,of England and the towns of Liverpool, Preston, Fleet-
wood, and 21anehester.has been long felt ; the importance also of a
sv-tem ofcasy, railway communication around 3lancheater, extended
WO; radius than at present is occupied by any lines to-
the north,'has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as
ermit:„!;. d greater choice of sites for the erection of mills and
fa: let :ca. . _

%lie important local elements of traffic in slate, lead, ironstone,
and fire, which will be derived from the Immediate vici-
itv of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the other great mineral
rides along the line, arc sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted
With the district, independent of the traffic in cattle and agricultural
produce tl'om Durham, Darlington, Richmond, Fettle, and other
grazing districts, which is now very considerable. It is believed that
these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already
alluded to, will yield a most ample return on the proposed capital.
A Preliminary survey has been taken of the line, and the sections
are nearly completed. The length of the line between Preston and
Richmond will be from seventy to seventy-five miles, and no
peculiar engineering daliculties exist. The capital determined to be
rai.ced has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the comple-
tion of the works.

The liability of each shareholder will be restricted by Act of Far-
Fament to the amount of his subscription, and power will be applied
for in the Bill to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum on all calls
from the passing of the Act untilthe opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made with existing railway companies now
in connexion with this undertaking, by 'which a portion of the capi-
tal will he required to be reserved for them. Further arrangements
are pending with other companies; the Provisional Committee,
therefore, reserve to themselves the right of making such extensions
of this project and of increasing the capital for carrying out any such
extensio: s as they may consider a‘lvantageous, with the view of
forming a comprehensive system of railway communication from
the northern and eastern coat with Liverpool and 31w,chester, and
the manufacturing districts generally.
applications for shares must be made to the solicitors, of whom,
also, prospectuses may be had, and should be made in the annexed
. form, accompanied by a reference to some member of the Provisional
Committee, one of the Solicitors, or a Banker. Applications from
persons locally interested will have a preference.
