but should arrangements be made with
xisting interests in the land to be re-
aer mode will be adopted. It is contem-
plated to extend the present new Channel formed by the
River Doe Company from Connah's Quay to Flint; to
form at Flint a Tidal Basin, capacious Locks and Weirs.
and to carry the R llway across these Locks by means of
Swing Bridges; and thus, at a very trifling cost, upwards
of 8,000 acres of land will be reclaimed, and a continuous
and uniform depth of water and means of constant com-
munication will be kept up between Chester and Flint for
vessels of a large burthen.

The Line of -Railway will not interfere with any park-
like or other ornamental grounds.
No detailed estimates of Traffic have yet been taken;
but the promoters are in possession of sufficient statistics
to say, that, looking at the various sources of traffic, as
above detailed, which must necessarily flow upon this Line,
they may with confidence anticipate that a return of at
least 8 per cent may be fairly expected on the outlay.. ~

It may be well to state, that, in estimating the cost of
this Railway, no deduction has been made on account of
the great value of the land to be reclaimed from the Dee.

This must necessarily be a matter for after arrangement.
Means will be taken to obtain an Act of Parliament in
the next session, with the usual clauses for restricting the
liability of each Shareholder ; and it is proposed to allow
interest on the paid-up capital.
Applications for Shan- s to be made, in the subjoined
form, to the Solicitors for the Company ; and to Mr. W.
