PORT WREXHAM HARBOUR AND RAILWAY-.

A CONTINUATION OR
BRANCH
OP THE GRAND JUNCTION RAIL 'AY,
Cainmenciniat; or 'neizr- Preston Bro6k, through Chest- ,
Greenfield,. Mostyn, Rhydrand, to Great Ohms d. .
In the vicinity of Ormshead, an extensive harbo , similar to
that of Kingston, will be formed, which', with itable Decks
and Warehouses, will constitute the Town of Port -
Wrexham.
'Capital,' £750,000, in £15,000 Share f £5O each.
Depost £1 a Shire. •
THE importance and utility of such an outlet to. the cow-
'coerce of the Inland and CentralllarnifacturingTowns of
England can no longer be doubted.
By, this route the manufactures of Birmingham, the Stafford-
. shire 'Potteries, the iron 'of Staffordshire, 'Warwickshire, and
'North Wales, will find a moretertain, more speedy, and a less
expensive channel of transit to Ireland, to North and South
America, to' the West Indies, and to every other part of the
Globe.
By the same route the Corn and Cattle of Ireland, American
Tiinber, and all 'kinds Of Colonial Produce, will reach those
populous districts in a shorter period and at a cheaper rate than
they can now be carried at, by way of Liverpool.,
At the Ornieshead 'there is depth of Water 'sufficient, at all
times. of. the tide, 'to float mercantile vessels of the greatest
burden.
The sands which render the approach to the Port of Liver-
pool so'darigerous, terminate a little to the Eastward of the site
of the intended. Harbour, consequently, the heavy charges
which fall uponvessels destined to Liverpool will be avoided.
Pilotkige and Light'Dues will I,e reduced one-half.
Insurance, both on Vessels and Cargoes, will be effected
from-,ir to Port Wrexham at a much less premium than to or
from Liverpool.
The Towing of Vessels by Steam, which from.the Port'of
Liverpool 'is now estimated to cast 40,000 annually, will be
'frOin-Port Wrexham` quite unnecessary.
The distance from Ormeshead to the Grand Junction Rail-
way, at Preston Brook, by way of Liverpool, Newton, and
Warrington, is not less than 80-miles, whereas the diStance by
the proposed Line (gill not exceed 60' miles—thus, between
'Dublin and Birmingham 20 miles of the distance will be saved,
and- the •danger which' now besets the 'approach to the Mersey
will be avoided.
To Wrexham, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Worcester, Glou-
.cester,'South Wales, Bristol, and 'Exeter, by the New Lines'of
Railroads which are already before the public, this. Line will
have a decided advantage, as it will unite at Chester the Great
Western with the Great Northern Lines, and form a termina=
nation to them both.
The whole Lines is almost a water-level. The country through
which a great part of the Line' will pass is at present waste, un-
inclosed laud. Materials fur the construction of the Railroad
and 'Harbour are in'great abundance on the Line, and may be
'•cost
procured at a less than in almost any other part of Great
Britain.
The Line will pass over a country abounding in coal, and.
through the very centre of the lead trade of Flintshire.
On a section of five miles of the road, namely, from Flint to
Greenfield, it is estimated that not less than £aooo annually is
now paid for land carriage of lead, copper, and coals.
It is ascertained that the principal Landholders on the Line
will give their hearty sanction to the exertions of the projectors.
The present estimate, made from a hasty survey, warrants the
promoters in stating that the cost of the Railway will-not exceed
£BOOO per mile, and that £250,000 will be ample to secure an
Act of Parliament, and to edniplete the Harbour, Decks, and
Warehouseing.
The Capital required for this noble undertaking will, there-
fore, be £750,000.
Persons wishing to pat'ticipate in its advantages may secure
Shares by making application (post paid) to the following-pp-
pointed Agents, on or before the Bth day of February next,
