PRELIMINAV ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE enormous increase, during the last ten years, in
the trade and population of the still rapidly-growing
towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Stockport, and Warring.
ton, would imperatively demand a new channel of commu-
nication, were the existing Liverpool and Manchester
Railway conducted in a liberal and accommodating siprit ;
but now that that Company is amalgamated with the
Grand Junction, and its management influenced by the
united canal and river interests, a new and independent
Line has become absolutely necessary.
To meet this demand, and carry out a line which shall
combine accommodation to these great towns and the
immense manufacturing population immediately surround-
ing, it has been determined by a Committee of Gentlemen
connected with the district, to establish a Railway from
Liverpool, cammencing near the Southern Docks, through •
Warrington, to the intended station of the Direct 1.42nd0n
and Manchester Railway, in Manchester, and with a
direct communication from the main line, at the best
possible point, to Stockport.
The distance from Liverpool to Manchester, by the
proposed Railway, will not exceed that of the existing
Line, whilst to Stockport there will be a saving of five to
six miles. Warrington, as a centre, will be placed in
direct communication with Manchester,, Liverpool, and
Stockport.
The Railways now making or projected, having their
termini at Macclesfield or Stockport, will be valuable
feeders to this Line, as it will afford the nearest route to
Liverpool, from the counties of Derby, Nottingham, Lin-
coln, and Leicester.

The time has arrived, however, (irrespective of these
advantages,) when the Merchants, Manufacturers, and
Spinners of Manchester, Stockport, and surrounding dis-
tricts are entitled to have an independent Line under their
own control, and thus secure for their trade the lowest
tariff and most efficient management ; and the promoters
of this line are prepared to guarantee that passengers and
merchandise shall be conveyed with greater expedition
and far less cost than by the existing Line.
It is expected that the recent and successful trials of the
atmospheric principle will fully justify its adoption on this
Line, and the promoters will, by its ageticy, be enabled
not only to reduce the cost of transit, but materially to
increase the speed, regularity, and safety of the trains.
Detailed patticulars, with the names of an influential
Committee, will be published in a few days, and in the
mean time communications may be addressed to Messrs.
SALE and WORTHINGTON, Solicitors, Fountain-
street, Manchester. _ _

Applications for Shares, in the firm subjoined, must be
addressed to the Provisional Committee, under cover to
the Solicitors; and forms of application may be had from
Mr. HENRY RAWSON, Tib-street ; Messrs. HOPE and
ROSTRON, King-street; Mr. JOSEPH BOWKER, Bayley's-
court, Sharebrokers, Manchester ; Messrs. HENRY
DAVIES and Co., and Mr. SAMUEL BULLEY,
Sharebrokers, Liverpool; Mr. JOSEPH FERNYHOUGH,
and Mr. ALEXANDER LOONEY, Sharebrokers, Stockport.
