Iminus of the Manchester and Bolton Railway, at Bolton, ' • .
and proceed thence along the Valley past Red Muss and Chor-
ley, and forward to Preston in such direction as may appear
most adapted for securing the general interests of the preprie- ,
tary, and accommodating in the best manner the traffic of the
district. The Line of Road crosses the various strata of Coal,
Cannel, Stone, and Flags, with which this part of the country
abounds. A Line of Railway from Blackburn is contemplated,
to join the Bolton and Preston Line north of Chorley, and
though the Line to Blackburn will not at present form part of
this undertaking, it will, when completed, add considerably to
its business. The Provisional Conimittee.in deciding upon the
terminus, will keep in view the facility and propriety of eon-
nectiog this Railway with the North 'Union, the Preston and
Lancaster, and the Preston and Wyre Railways, and the Lan'
caster Canal, and will proceed to Parliament for powers to
construct an independent Line to Preston, or to branch into tba
North Union Railway, or both, as may hereafter appear most
conducive to the interests of the Company, and the general ac-
commodation of the public.
The Provisional Committee have communicated with Mr,: .
Rastrick, the Engineer, whosurveyed this Line in 1831, and, with .
a view to the possession of the Plans, Survey, and Estimates Mail°
on that occasion, they have invited the Subscribers thereto -to
