•
TrIHE attention of the DIRECTORS of the EDIN-
I BURGH and NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY has
been called to a Statement containedin a Circular Notice issued
by the Provisional Committee of the projected Railway by
Queensferry, which has given rise'to the belief that, by an
agreement, entered into in 1845, by :the Representatives of the
two Companies, the expediency of the'Queensferry Line was
recognizeo by the Edinburgh an-d,Ndithem Railway Company,
and that, consequently, their opition to that scheme will be
unsuccessful.. The Directoratf the Edinburgh and Northern
Railway Company, to pint misapprehension, beg to infirm
the Shareholders of the Queensferry Company, as well as those .
of the North British Company, that there no foundation what-
ever for the Statement referred to. Should the Queensferry
scheme get the length of Parliament, it will be opposed in all
its stages by the Edinburgh and Northern Company, and there
is now more reason than ever to rely on the completesqecess of
that opposition. JOHN BALFOUR,

PROSPECTUS

HE .object of this Company is to construct a Line
T
of Railway between Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport.
The accommodation proposed to be thus given has long been
desired, but the difficulty of obtaining a convenient entrance
into Liverpool has until lately proved an insurmountable ob-
stacle. This difficulty the Liverpool and Bury Railway, now in
course of construction, affords the means of overcoming, it
being proposed by the present scheme to make use of that line
for nearly a mile and a half out of Liverpool, and thence pro-
ceed, by way .of Bootle. Seaforth, Waterloo, Crosby, and along
the coast, through Formby, to Southport, affording to those
Places anti the adjacent farm districts a cheap and speedy
Means of communication with Liverpool. On the other hand,
the benefits to the over-crowded population of Liverpool in a
sa, nitory point of view, by giving ready access to the rapidly
tncreasing Bathing Places along the coast, the district of Cros-
ki, and the much=frequented and salubrious watering place of
—"thPort, as well as throwinc, open the intermediate country
.or
"thmaetd Purposes of Villas andlicsidences, cannot well be over-
The undertaking is promoted by the principal Landowners
end other parties locally interested.
The Line is about sixteen miles in length, and,. being nearly
rel. is entirely free from engineering difficulties. A consi-
raple part of the land between Crosby and Southport, over
W._lllcli it will pass, haa.already been given by the landowners,
d the cost of construction will be unusually small.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of
parliament to the amount of his subscription, and power will
„PPlied for in the Bill to allow interest at .E 4 per cent. on all
from the passing of the Act until the opening of the Line.
