THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY

REDUCTION OF FARES.

THE Public are respectfully informed, that on and
after SATURDAY, the 2d of November next, the fol-
lowing will be the Passenger Fares between Liverpool and
Manchester !
First Class Fares. .
Second Class
Thud Class 2s. Gd.
DAY TICKETS (net Transferable) to Manchester or
Liverpool and Back on the same day Ten Shillings,
equalling each way Five Shildngs.
The Public are further informed that from and after
the same date there will be Two Third Class Trains per
Day, one in the Morning and one in the Evening, from
each end of the line.

The Times of Departure w:11 be published in bills of
the day.
The Directors feel that some explanation is due to the
Shareholders upon the announcement of so large an ad-
ditional measure of accommodation, and so important a
reduction of fares, within six months after the opening of
the Extension Line through Salford, upon which nearly
£250,000 have been expended, especially as the general
Scale of Fares on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway
has never exceeded, and has generally been below that of
the principal railways in England, including those in im-
mediate connexion with this district. _ _

The Directors are happy to be able to state that the
traffic accounts for the quarter just ended exhibit a very
gratifying increase over the corresponding quarter of last
year; a result, in part to be attributed to the Extension
Railway latrly opened, forming a direct and continuous
line of communication with Yorkshire and the East Coast,
but in part, also, to the general revival of trade, which the
Directors trust will be steady and permanent, giving in-
creased activity to the internal truffle of the country.
This favourable state of things has encouraged the
Directors to adopt a more decided course than they would
otherwise have been justified in doing; and they cheer-
fully recognize the broad and general principle that the
public may fairly claim to participate, from time to time,
by means of increased accommodation or reduced rates,
in the continued success of the company.
Moreover, they will not conceal from the Proprietors,
that in the present position of railway interests, with a
superabundance of unemployed capital and a speculative
spirit abroad, which, every day, conjures into shape and
promise new and rival projects, existing lines must be
prepared, even at some sacrifice, to supply the public with
ample accommodation, on the most reasonable terms, if
they woul I maintain the ground which they have heretofore
occupied—each in its own locality.
Fur this purpose the outlay of additional capital may
he required, the return for which can be expected only
from an increase of traffic, consequent on the increased
prosperity of the country. But the Directors feel assured
that a deference to public opinion, exemplified by the
course of policy now recommended, will best enable them
to maintain a safe position, and to defeat, if need be, the
attempts of rival and hostile undertakings.

DY this undertaking it is proposed to establish a direct
1-1 Railway communication between the city of Norwich
(the metropolis of the eastern district of England) and the
town and port of Ipswich, at which place it will join the
Railway to London.
The Line will pass through the towns of Diss and
Stowmarket, and through or near Long Stratton, Eye,
and Mcndlesbam, and Needham Market and the adjacent
populous districts, and will be in near communication
with the towns of Harleston, Bungay, and Beccles, and
the River Wavenhey, to which places an extension may
be advantageously m7de. It also combines the advantage
of a direct communication with the port of Yarmouth.
Very considerable commerce and intercourse has
always subsisted between Norwich, Diss, and Ipswich,
which this project will greatly facilitate and increase.
This Line will be an extension of the Eastern Union
Railway., and will, by means of the Eastern Counties
Railway from Colchester, give the city of Norwich and
an extensive and thickly populated country a direct com-
munication with London, fourteen miles shorter than by
the Norwich and Brand( n and Northern and Eastern
lines.

The proposed Railway is strictly identified with the
agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interests of
the entire district, and, whilst it affords the greatest con-
venience to the public, it offers to the Shareholders a
prospect of a very ample return on the capital embarked.
The Line has been surveyed by Mr. Locke, who has
reported, that the character of the country to be traversed
will render the Line easy of construction, and, as the gra-
dients are favourable, it will be an economical Line to
work.

A careful estimate of the present traffic between Ips-
wich and Norwich has been made, which, after allowing
40 per cent. for the expenses of working the Line, shows
a return of upwards of 7 per ce-it. on the capital re-
quired.
The Map annexed to this Prospectus indicates the
course of the intended Line and shows the population of
the principal towns which will be accommodated by the
undertaking.
The capital proposed to be raised, £650,000, will enable
the Company to complete a double Line from the termi-
nus of the Eastern Union Railway, at Ipswich, to Nor-
wich, a distance of forty-five miles : part of this Line
will have the advantage of participating in a double traffic
from being connected, not only with the Line to Nor-
wich, but with a Line now projected, branching from this
undertaking at a point about fourteen miles north of Ips-
wich to Cambridge, through Bury St. Edmonds, as
shown on the map. _ _

Norwich as well as Cambridge (and, eventually, by
other connecting Railroads, the wnoh of the manufactur-
ing districts) will thus be in direct communication, at
Ipswich, with the line of steamers proposed to be esta
blished from Harwich harbour to Hamburgh, Rotterdam,
Antwerp, and Ostend ; will be within ten hours of the
last-named place ; and, according to the statement lately
published by the proposed European Steam-packet Com-
pany, within twenty-four hours of Hamburgh.
The usual powers will be taken in the act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the amount of subscriptions
paid up.

THIS Undertaking, commencing on the B inks of the
Navigable River Trent at Newark, passing through
the Towns of Southwell and Mansfield, and connecting it-
self, at Chesterfiell, with the existing and projected Mid-
land Railways, will form a continuous and direct commo-
n' cation between the Agricultural and producing districts
of Nottinghamshire and the South Eastern parts of the
Kingdom on the one hand, and the large Consuming
Towns and Districts of West Yorkshire, Lancashire,
Cheshire. and the Port of Liverpool on the other.
.In the event of the proposed London and York Line
being carried into effect, this Railway will also form the
connecting link between Manchester, Sheffield, and the
Metropolis, and will afford, by means of the London and
York Line, the shorter communication from the Metro.
polis to these important towns.
A careful examination of the Country through which
this Line will pass, by Engineers of acknowledged emi-
nence, enables the promoters to state, that it may be
constructed with facility, and that its character is such as
to justify a confidence that it must prove highly remune-
rative to the proprietary, taking into consideration the
great amount of Traffic which must necessarily pass along
it, whether as regards Passengers, Merchandise, and
Agricultural Produce, or Minerals, inasmuch as the Dis-
trict is not provided with any means of Transit beyond the
ordinary Turnpike Roads.

Twelve Daily Coaches are now required to convey the
Passenger Traffic through the District which this Line
will accommodate, at once demonstrating its importance
and the necessity which exists for its construction.
This Line, intended to communicate with the existing
Mansfield and Pinxton Railway, at Mansfield, will form
the nearest and most direct route that can be made between
the Agricultural Districts to the East and South-east of
Newark and the great central Coal Field of Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire, and thus enable the inhabitants of
those extensive Districts to supply themselves with Coals
of every quality at considerably less than two-thirds of the
present price.

The whole country, North and South, will, by this Rail-
way, and the others with which it will communicate, be
brought within easy reach of the well-known Quarries of
Building Stone with which the District of Mansfield and
Mansfield Woodhouse abounds ; as well as with the Lime
produced in that neighbourhood, so celebrated for build-
ing and other purposes.
The Promoters are enabled, after a careful analysis of
the Traffic which will come upon this Line, to state that a
profit of at least 74 per cent. will be realized upon the
estimated capital of £600,000 after deducting 40 per cent.
for working expenses.
A Deposit of £1 10s. per Share must be paid on the
allotment of shares, and the liability of subscribers will be
limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their
respective shares.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow Interest at the
rate of £4 per Cent. per Annum on the Deposits, as well
es on all future calls, from the date of each payment till
the opening of the whole Line, or until a Dividend be
declared.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Con-
tract will be ready for signature at the time the deposits
are received, and a copy will lie f r signature at one of the
Company's Bankers, at each of the following places :
London, Manchester, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Mansfield,
Southwell, Newark, and Nottingham.
References will be required from all applicants for
shares who are not known to some members of the Com-
mittee, the Solicitors, or respectable Sharebrokers.
Applintions for Shares, in the Form below, are re-
quested to be made to the Solicitors, Messrs. R. and R.
CAPARN, Newark, and Messrs. PARSONS and HENN,
Mansfield ; to Messrs. BARKER, Hose, and Noarow,
50, Mark-lane, the London Agents ; or to the following
Sharebrokers :—Mr.WILKINSON, 8, St. Mildred's-court,
