THIS Railway is projected for the following important
Purposes
connect, by a continuous Line of Railway, and
' much shorter route than at present exists, Manches-
,tir, Leeds, Bolton, Preston, and the other populous
"', ns of Yorkshire and Lancashire with the Chester and
ti,a'Ybead and Chester and Wrexham Railways, now in
course of formation. At present there is no direct
aoilwav communication.
reduce the Railway distance between Manehes-
tW,apd the intended Docks at Birkenhead, from 66 miles
allies, a very imrant saving, when it is considered
W' Birkenhead will bet a most convenient Port for the
qatlufa et uri ng Districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
t."----To reduce the Railway distance between Manches-
ter and Chester, from 52 miles to 38 miles, and between
Barrington and Chester, from 45 miles to 18 miles.
WrLforma direct communication at Preston-brook
Wlth the Bridgewater Canal, and so afford to the Inhabit-
tillta of Manchester a very expeditious, and, at the same
vtrrle, a cheaper means of conveyance to Chester and North
Vales than can be obtained in any other manner.
s 1.0 effect these important objects it will only be neces-
.ftry to pm a Line of Railway from Preston-brook, on
rele Grand Junction Railway, through Frodsbam to Chesty
r, a distance of 13 miles, and, as Mr. Buck reports,
4/oeti_a most favourable line of country. The Line will
ca" in competition with existing interests, but, on the
eCestrarY, will feed the traffic on the Liverpool and Man-
_a ter and Grand Junction Railways, and the Bridge-
ter Canal. The Shareholders may safely calculate
;4..P0n a very remunerative rate of interest for the capital
nvested, in consequence of the large traffic which must
.sTays cesarily be brought upon this Line by the many Rail-
which it will communicate. A Deposit of
