THIS Company is formed for the purpose of establish-
ing the best Railway Communication from the Bir-
kenhead Docks, from the centre of Liverpool by a south-
ern outlet, and from the Mineral Districts of Wales, to
the Manufacturing Districts of Cheshire, Lancashire, and
Yorkshire.

The lines of Railway required to accomplish this im-
portant design may be generally described as, for the first
object, commencing at the Birkenhead Docks and pro-
ceeding to Warrington, whence one line will be continued
to Stockport, forming a junction, near Altringhana, with
the Manchester South Junction and Altringham Railway,
and, at Stockport, with the Manchester and Birmingham
and the Stockport and Ashton Railways, and another line
to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, forming a
junction with the North Union Railway at Parkside, and
with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at the Kenyon junc-
tion ; for the second object, commencing at the centre of
Liverpool, and thence through Tosteth-park to War-
rington, connecting the line with the Docks of Liverpool
and the Herculaneum Docks, and forming a junction at
Warrington with the line from the Birkenhead Docks and
Chester; and, for the third object, commencing at Ches-
ter, where it would receive the traffic of the Chester and
Holyhead, the North Wales Mineral, and the Shrewsbury
lines, and proceeding to the best point of junction with
the line from the Birkenhead Docks.

Without dilating on the ulterior communications which
the lines thus described will afford, the great and imme-
diate object is enough to justify their construction, upon
the broad ground of commercial convenience. The pub-
lic importance of constructing a Railway connecting the
Birkenhead Docks with the manufacturing districts is
sufficiently established by the well considered Report of
the Board of Trade on the Birkenhead, Manchester, and
Cheshire Junction Railway.

As this Company is ba,ed on the Birkenhead, Man-
chester, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company, all
holders of scrip in that line will be entitled to an equal
number of shares in this Company, and a proportionate
return of Deposit, as well as an additional allotment of

. .
one whole share in this Company on every two share
now held.

Applications for Shares must be made to the SECRE-
TARY, at the Offices of the Company, at Birkenhead, or,
or before the 30th day of June instant, in the form at tht
foot of this Prospectus, the Committee, however, express-
ing their intention to prefer local interests.

Mr. Frederick C. Hutton, Princess-street, Manchester,

THE Line now projected is intended to complete the
chain of Railway communication between Yorkshire
and the Port of Liverpool. Commencing at the joint ter-
minus of the Blackburn, Datwen, and Bolton, the Black-
burn, Burnley, and Accrington, and the Blackburn, Cli-
theroe, and North Western Junction Railways, in Black-
burn, and running in almost a direct course and through
a country possessing unusual facilities for the construc-
tion of a Railway, it will pass near the town of Chorley,
and terminate by a junction with the North Union Rail-
way at the most favourable point. A glance at the Map
will show that this, taken in connection with the Bury,
Wigan, and Liverpool Railway, and the lines already re-
ferred to, will constitute the nearest and most direct route
to Liverpool from the East cf Scotland, Yorkshire, and
the populous and increasing towns of Burnley, Clitberoe,
Accrington, Blackburn, and Chorley. Viewed in this
light, as an integral R.-It-lion of an extensive line of com-
munication between densely populated districts, the Rail-
way now submitted to the public mt.st be looked upon in
an advantageous light, and must necessarily command a
considerable amount of through traffic, both in Passen-
gers and Merchandize, the nett revenue resulting from
which will afford to the Shareholders a profitable return
on the capital to be embarked.

The local advantages which may be expected to result
from the formation of this Railway are considerable. In
addition to the great accommodation which will be afford-
ed to the extensive Cotton Mills in Licesey, Withnell,
Heapey, and White Coppice, and to the Print Works at
B

rinscall, a direct and immediate route will be established
between the large Mercantile Towns of Blackburn and

the inhabitants of which, fur a long period, have
been virtually excluded from all communication with each
present most difficult and tedious mode of
transit. The resources of the district, which, owing to
the circumstance now alluded to, have been comparatively
closed to the present time. will thus be developed, and,
from the facility of communication afforded by the pro-
posed Railway, the local traffic will doubtless be materi-
ally increased.

An important element in estimating the local advantages
of the undertaking, as well as its general prospects of sue-
cess, is the cordial feeling manifested in its favour by the
landowners and manufacturers on the line—a fact fully
corroborated by the list of influential members of whom
the Provisional Committee is composed.
The country through which the proposed Railway is in-
tended to pass has been carefully surveyed ; the gradients
are most favourable, and the works will be light and exe-
cuted at a moderate expense.
Liberty is reserved to the Committee to deviate from
cute, or extend the line as they may deem

the p►opose(
expedient.

Subscribers will not be liable to any further call before
the Act is obtained, and powers will be applied for to limit
the responsibility of each Shareholder to the amount of
his subscription, and allow interest at £4 per cent. per
annum on the deposit and calls from the time of payment
until the opening of the line.

Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed
form to the SOLICITORS Mr. BOARDMAN, Mr. G. Y.
BOOTH, Or Mr. JOHN RATCLIFFE, Blackburn ; Mr.
TRAPPES, Chorley ; Messrs. 1114 LEAN and DtNwoontz,
