ST. HELENS AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.
CAPITAL, £120,000, in 4,800 SHARES, of £25 each.

DEPOSIT, £1 10s. PER SHARE.
rr HIS Railway, by a Junction with the St. Helens Line,
1. will complete tlyt Railway communication between
the favourite watering-place of So hport and Manches-
ter, Liverpool, and the densely opu ated manufacturing
districts of Lancashire and Y shire, as well as Birming-
ham, and the other large t ns communicating with the
Grand Junction Railway
It is brought out un r the auspices of the Liverpool
and Manchester and . Helens Railway Companies, and
wite these Compari s arrangements have been made for
the purpose of securing a minimum dividend of four per
cent. to the Shareholders of the proposed Line, together
with an equal division of all profits beyond this amount.
Independently of the revenue to be derived from the
large number of Passengers who now frequent the rapidly-
increasing town of Southport, the Local Passenger Traffic,
and the carriage of Agricultural Produce, the Line, for
the greater portion of its distance, will pass through the
rich and extensive Coal-fields of Rainford, Bickerstaffe,
and Lathotn, whefe several Collieries are already opened,
and nearly the whole of the produce of which district must
use the improved mode of transit to be furnished by this
Line.
The income of the proposed Line, which has been
estimated from the present tr.•.ffic, and at a much lower
rate than the ordinary Parliamentary rule, shows a nett
profit, after an ample allowance for working expenses, of
upwards of six per cent. on the contemplated outlay.
The Line which bas been selected is entirely free from
engineering difficulties, and the Provisional Committee
feel perfect confidence in stating that the cost, including
the preliminary expenses and the necessary Stations, will
not exceed the Capital of £120,000.
This Capital is proposed to be raised in 4,800 Shares, of
£25 each, and a deposit of £1 10s. per Share will be re-
quired on taking the same.
No further call will be made till the Act is obtained,
and interest to the amount of Four per Cent. will be al-
lowed on all payments from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the Line.
Shareholderslin the St. Helens Railway will have a pre•
ference in the allotment of the Shares, application for
which must be addressed, on or before the 15th day of
October instant, to Mr. WHITLEY, Solicitor, High-street,
Liverpool, or to the Secretary of the Company, at the
Railway-office, St. Helens.
By order of Provisional Committee,
ARTHUR SINCLAIR, Secretary.
