IT is admitted that a more direct Line of communication
between Liverpool and Pre,ton and the North is much

warned, and that it is i esiroble there shall be a Hallway
communication from 111ancliester to Southpoit, this Com-
pany is therefore formed for the purpose of accionplishing
these objects, which it proposes to do at less cost than any
other Line as yet beture the public, and aithout inter-
r,iritig to the same extent with the interests of existing

C.nlipan;c

It is intended to commence the main Line at a point
on the Liverpo. 1 and Bury Line, now before Parliament,
at or near the vaige of Kirkby, which is distant about
six miles from the Liverp of terminus; proceeding norru-
ward, it passes east of Waddiear d d Mell ug cmn-Cuns.
cough, thence in a direct line to olt NI SKI UK. limning
to the east of Moss End, crossing the Leeds and Liverpool
Canal, at or near Glover's Bridge, leaving It ufroid to the
north, and thence pr•iceeds to Ecclestn, aid crossing the
river Yarrow, runs into the North Union Railway, at the
Junction of the thilion and Preston ltailway- near

Buxton

The distance from Kirkby to the Junction of the Bolton
and Preston L ne with the North Union Railway io about
171 miles, and that length of Line will only be required
to effect, in connection with the Liverpool stud Bitty and
North Union Lines, a direct Line From Liverpool to
Preston, the entire ii [static,. being 29 wiles, which will be
traversed i►: one hour at the most.

It is also proposed to connect Southport. with Ottnsk irk,
Wigan, Bolton, Manchester, and whet populous districts,
by making Branches from the main Line at Omiskirk,
p,issing south of Scarishrick Park to Southport, and east-
wardly, towards Skelniets !ale, meebng the proposed
Branch of the Liverpool and Bury Line at a convenient
point near Blaguegate
The Passenger Traffic between the localities connected
by this Line of Railway Is at present very considerable,
and will be much increased when the Lines in the course
of construction and those propped form an unbroken
Railway commuuication between Liverpool, Preston, Lan-
caster. Carlisle. Neweastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the
whole of the North of Great Britain.
conjunctien with the Preston and Wyre Railway to
Fleetwood, this proposed Line will f, trill anode of cen-
veyance for Passeugers and Goods to Belfast and the
North of Ireland.
The facility of communication which this Lke.affords to
the valuable Coal fields of Bickerstaffe. Latham, and the
rest of this important Coal distikt, insures to the proprie-
tors the
.most important advantages.
There are no difficult or expensive Engineering Works
on the Line, tons rendering it all but certain that the esti-
mate of £350000 is amply sullictent, which, when com-
pared with seine of the projnts now before the public,
shows a very considerable saving in the cost of übtainitg a
DIRECT Communication.
The Branches to Southport and Wigan will afford
mutual advantages, as they offer easy access to the de-
li6htful and much-frequented watering place of Southport,
and a very great increase on the present traffic may fairly
be calculated upon.
The estimate of revenue, based upon the existing
traffic, shows a good return for the capital invested.
Means will be tai-en to obtain an Act of Parliament in
the ensuing Session, with the customary clauses for
restricting tha liability of each Shareholder, and it is pro-
posed to allow 4 per cent. interest on the paid-up capital.
A number of Shares in this Line will be reset ved for
the Shareholders of Lines immediately eonnected with it.
Applications for Shares may be made in the form below.
