THE Railway having now established itself as a good In-
vestment with profitable and daily increasing returns,
and the Harbour Works being in a state of great forward-
ness, the Directors have determined at once to issue a portion
of the remaining 4,000 £5O Shares for the formation of Docks
and other Works, which the daily increasing commercial
traffic of the port shows will not only be a lucrative invest-
ment in itself, but must materially enhance the returns both
of the Railway and Harbour.
The mode the Directors propose to pursue in the issue of
new Shares will be to require only a payment of £5 per Share
on each of these new £5O Shares on their first appropriation,
with a further call of £5 per Share every three months, till
the whole £5O is paid ; such calls to carry interest at the rate
of £5 per cent. per annum payable half-yearly, until the
whole of the calls are paid, the holders of such new Shares
having the privilege at any time, by paying up their Shares
in full, to come in and participate in the dividends with the
old shareholders in lieu of such interest, and as soon as they
shall have paid up all their calls, to elect whether they will take
such dividends, or continue to receive a priority of interest
at £5 per cent. per annum out of the profits of the Company.
As the Railway is now paying a fair profit, which profit it
may be confidently expected will be steadily and regularly
increased, and the calls on such new Shares are spread over
a space of two years and a quarter, the present arrangement
offers an unusual and most important mode of investment,
at once securing to the holders ;C5 per cent. on their money,
with an opportunity of receiving the dividends in lieu thereof,
whenever those dividends shall exceed the amount of the in-
terest.
Applications for Shares, to be made at the Company's
Offices at Fleetwood on Wyre, Lancashire, and No. 11,
King William-street, London, on or before the 20th day of
July next.
By order of the Directors,

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF
THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTER.

GENTLEMEN,
A HVING been honoured by a renewal of your desire that
I should again stand forward as a Candidate for the
distinction of representing you in Parliament, I should deem
myself unworthy of this reiterated mark of your kindness
did I suffer private feelings and predilections to obstruct for
one moment the course of public duty thus intimated to me
in so flattering a manner. I therefore cheerfully submit to
your wishes.
Her Majesty's ministers being about to 'appeal to the
country on the subject of the Corn-laws, I feel it due to you,
openly and explicitly, to declare my opinions on that im-
portant topic.
I consider the paramount objects sought for in the main-
tenance of a Corn-law to be these—to encourage the home
growth of corn by affording adequate protection to the Bri-
tish farmer ; and, at the same time, to provide that the home
consumer shall not be liable to extravagant prices in seasons
of scarcity.
Convinced that these ends have been fully attained by the
principle of the sliding scale now in operation, I cannot but
view with alarm the attempt about to be made by the govern-
ment of this country to substitute a fixed duty for the pre
sent plan ; the results of which must be, that in average
seasons the home grower will not be able to compete with
the foreigner—large district of corn laud will be thrown out
of cultivation—and consequently, in times of continental
scarcity, or of war, (our home produce being inadequate,)
the price to the consumer will be far more extravagant than
it ever can be under the regulations of the present fluctu-
ating scale.
, can On other subjects of political importance
confi-
dently appeal to the past as a guarantee that your interests
for the future will not be neglected should you again entrust
them to my care.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient, humble Servant,
P. DE M. GREY EGERTON.
Ou/ton Park, June, 1841.

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF
THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTER.

GENTLEMEN,
ADissolution of Parliament being evidently at hand, I beg
most respectfully to announce that the pledge given by
me to afford you, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS, an opportunity
of recording your votes, I am now ready to redeem.
The present Government—no longer an independent Go-
vernment—too weak to administer the affairs of this country,
and too tenacious of the advantages of office to relinquish
them, has succumbed to popular clamour and proposed a
total change in our just and admirable system of CORN-
LAWS—a measure which, if carried, would not only de-
prive the English landowner and farmer of their property and
the English labourer of his means of subsistence, but the
manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby
proving ultimately as injurious to the one interest as imme-
diately destructive to the other.
Members of the Istisit ROMAN CATHOLIC PARTY now
form a portion of the administration of the country, which,
in my opinion is incompatible with THE sAFETIC OF OUR
PROTESTANT CHURCH AND PROTESTANT LIBERTIES.
A Government thus composed, and so regardless of the
peace and well-being of the nation, as the existing one has
proved itself, by the introduction of measures alike detri-
mental to both, is altogether unworthy, and undeserving of
our confidence.
Having on a Fortner occasion issued an address, I will only
now repeat the declaration then made, that " I submit to the
thraldom of no party ;" and, in the event of a dissolution of
Parliament, I shall throw myself on the support of those
Electors who, like me, are determined to take that INDE •
PENDENT COURSE which I conscientiously believe the exist-
ing state of affairs requires of every friend (whether Church-
man
or Dissenter) to the PROTESTANT RELIGION, and of
every well-wisher to his Country.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
With sincere respect,
Your very faithful servant,
JOHN TOLLEMACHE.
Tilston Lodge, May 31, 1841.
