nrIHIS RAILWAY, which is intend for the purpose of
JIL general Traffic by means of L ()five Engines, will
connect the large rising manufacturii town of Preston with
the exttnbive, easy, sale, and commod us Harbour called the
W v re.
Its extreme length will be )91 miles, with an inclination no
where exceeding 7 feet G inches in a mile, and that only along
an extent of four miles. The nature of the country likewise,
from Preston to Wyre, is particularly favourable to the con-
struction of a Railway.
The promoters of the undertaking, by affording a cheaper,
safer, and more expeditious means of transit than those now
furnished, consider themselves justified in calculating upon
securing the trafic that at present exists between Preston and the
Sea, which even at the low prices proposed to be charged by
the Company, would afford a return of 20 per cent. on the
capital. Experience has shown that a considerable increase
has always Wowed the completion of such undertakings.
The distance from Preston to Manchester, by the Preston
and Wigan• Railway is 47 miles, to Liverpool 38 miles, and
Warrington 27 miles. 'X
Had the Directors been disposed to indulge in calculations
on the prospects which the opening of this new commercial
channel may promise in the course of a few years, considering
the enormous difference that will exist between the Harbour
Dues of Liverpool and those of Wyre, they might fairly cal-
ealato alum supplying a large number of the manufacturing
towns in the interior of the country, more especially those to
the east of Preston; and that as soon as a Railway shall ex-
tend, as it is proposed, from the Irish Channel to,the German
Ocean, even the town of Kingston-upon-Hull will traffic to-the
.Wyre, through-Preston, as- the-rnOst convenient and more eco-
I nomical char u 2 t leading to all the western parts of the world, and
vie with Liverpool as a commercial port.
The Irish ports, nii. th of Dublin, have already seen the ad-
vantageous opening thiit this Harbour will make for the intro-
duction of Irish produce, and warmly supported the bill in its
progress through Parliament.
Under the Act of Parliament obtained, the Company is
already in receipt of Dues on all Vessels now entering the
Harbour of Wyre.
Interest at the rate of 4
,per cent. is allowed on Shares paid
in full.

N.B.—All persons holding Banker's receipti for Deposits
for Shares, can receive Certificates for the same upon applica-
tion at the Company's Office as above.

THE Legislature having passed an Act "To empower his
1. Majesty to erect South Australia into a British Province,
or Provinces, and to provide for the Colonization and Govern,
ment thereof," a number of Gentlemen have been induced, from
the valuable privileges which this bill confers upon the proposed
colony, the central and important locality assigned as its terri,
tory, the salubrity of its climate, and the richness of its soil, to
form a Joint Stock Company, for the purchase and improve-
ment of land, laying out farms, building wharfs and warehouses,
establishing a whale and seal fishery, and such other purposes
as may appear desirable, consequently 13,770 acres have already
been purchased of the Commissioners under the Colonization.
Act, and an additional contract fur 20,000 more entered into:
These purchases give the Company flue right of renting 540,160
acres of land for pasturage at less than one farthing per acre.
A number of shares have already been disposed of; and per-
sons wishing to become subscribers may apply to the bankers,
Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., Bank-buildings; the solicitors,
Messrs. Bartlett and Beddolue, '27, Nicholau-lane; and the Se-
cretary, at the Campany's office, 19, Bishopsgate-street within,.
where prospectuses and other information may be obtained.

[A DViitiTi SEMENT.I
THE POWDER MAGAZINES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL SIANDARD.

Sta,—l should not have taken the trouble replying to the
letter of Conservator which appeared in vo paper of the 23d
inst., hut that I think it only fair to give iii an ofrportunity of
recbuciling certain strange inconsistence into which he has
been hurried by his intemperate teal it efeuce of a nuisance
which no man,
.unless specially paid: r the purpose, except '
himself would attempt to uphold. But .) the point.
Conservator, in his first letter, inse .ed in your paper of the
Bth inst., containing. his strictures upo the various resolutions
passed at the Egremtnt meeting, re arks particularly upon
the clause attached to "te 4th resolu ion, charging " the ex-
penses thereof and all monies necessary for the purpose of the
said act" on the rates Of the parishes of Walla.,ey and Liver-.
pont. adding, " In other words, We, the inhabitants of Liter-
pool," &c,
In his second epiatle, dated the 11th October, and published
in your paper of the 13th inst., he again says, " I have to state
further that I tun not a Cheshireman—do not reside near the
magazines, and, as an inhabitant if Liverpool, will resist any.
attempt to levy a tux upon the town of Liverpool to further a
private speculation."
Now, I call upon Conservator, if be values his own character,
and wishes to stand fair in public opinion, to reconcile the two
statements above mentioned with that contained in the conclud-
ing paragraph of his last letter which appeared in your columns
of the 23d inst. It suits hiS purposes and his interests now. to
deny that he is either a lodaer tie inhabitant of Liverpool—his
ingenuity will no doubt. aid'him in this dilemma where for the
present I shall leave him.
I am not disposed to answer every man who writes under the
signature. of Conservator, but I shall continue under the one I
have assumed, as occasion requires, or inclination prompts, to
offer any remarks I please upon the subject relative to the pow-
der magazines;- nor shall I. be deterred through any fear of
Conservator's logic, or his pen, however saturated in gall, from
deprecating in the strongest terms afoul nuisance which, whilst
it exists, is a curse to the whole neighbourhood, and a stainuppn
the humanity of all such as are bold enough to advocate its con-
.tinuatice contrary,' Co all sense and reason.—l remain, vie, yours,
&c. &e. HUMANITAS.
