TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE
LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, AND PRESTON
RAILWAY.

THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE feel them-
selves compelled to call the attention of the Share-
holders to the nature of the amalgamation now in course
of formation in this neighbourhood, in consequence of
the Liverpool and Manchester Company, in the public
announcement of their approa, king confederation, having
thought fit to make an unprovoked attack on the Liver-
pool, Ormskirk, and Preitob Company. The substance
of the attack, which hakbeen embodied in the Report of
the Liverpool and nafichester Company, is extracted
from a publication which appeared some tune ago under
the signatures of the Directors of the North Union Com-
pany, dictated by motives perfectly understood in this
quarter, and expressed in such uncourteous terms, and
under the influence of such angry feelings, that the Pro-
visional Committee thought it at the time unworthy of a
reply, and should not now condescend to notice it were it
not to warn the Shareholders against supposing that the
statement receives any weight or confirmation from now
appearing with Mr. Lawrence's signature. The Share-
holders may rest assured that the statement in its new
garb proceeds from no new or disinterested party, the two
Companies from whom these attacks have proceeded be-
ing worked by nearly the same Directors, those of the
North Union being the most influential portion, as fully
evinced by the extraordinary amalgamation just effec'ed,
a measure which could never have been consummated or
admitted by distinct Boards.
As the recent attack on the project of the Liverpool,
Ormskirk, and Preston Company consists of a mere re-
petition of the former, in the same scornful and offensive
tone, the Provisional Committee shall, as heretofore, ab-
stain from discussing the question of their Traffic with
those whose language is so objectionable, and whose line
of argument is so preposterous; they cannot, however,
avoid directing attention to the remarkable circumstance,
that while one paragraph of the recent Report from the
Liverpool and Manchester Company gravely informs the
Public of the trifling dividend to be obtained from a
Railroad through the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston
country, in another paragraph their shareholders are in-
formed of the intention of the Amalgamated Board to
make a long and expensive zig-zag Line to compete for a
portion of the fourteen shillings and one penny percent.
dividend. It is left to the public to form their own opinion
upon such glaring inconsistency.
A few years back, when the Line from Bolton to Preston
was contemplated, a somewhat different idea as to their
Liverpool Traffic was given by the North Union Com-
pany ; and with respect to that now made by them, it may
now be remarked that the Traffic of one tradesman alone
in Ormskirk amounts to nearly as much annually as the
North Union statement allows for that Town, Southport,
and the Road-side stations all put together.
The forbearance hitherto exercised by the Provisional
Committee, if not quite generally satisfactory to the Share-
holders, has met with the cordial approbation of a numer-
ous and influential portion of the body ; and it will be
their endeavour, upon all occasions, to avoid as much as
possible entering into controversy with their .neighbours.
They believe their characters to stand as high in the esti-
mation of the public for honesty of purpose and disin-
terested conduct, and they feel as incapable of inducing
others to enter into any " wild schemes" as the gentlemen
who have signed the statements above-mentioned ; and
no vindication of their conduct and motives being neces-
sary, it will be with extreme reluctance they can be in-
duzed again to notice any statements emanating from
their opponents, whose sensitive irritability on this un-
dertaking is the best corroboration of its soundness.
The Provisional committee have the pleasure of inform-
ing the Shareholders, that the Traffic has been very care-
fully taken, and confirmed by a gentleman of great expe-
rience and professional reputation in such matters, and
who will be prepared, at the proper time, to prove before
Parliament the correctness of his calculations, which fully
support the prospects held out in the original Prospectus.
The Plans &c.
all the &c. have been deposited within the pre-
scribed time,
preliminary arrangements up to
the present period required by the Standing Orders of
Parliament have been complied with, and the Committee
feel sanguine that they are about to make one of the best
and most useful Railways in the Kingdom, giving to the
Traffic from Yorkshire by Blackburn, as well as to the
North of England and Scotland, the advantage of a direct
Line, and a saving of nearly twelve miles between Liver-
pool and Preston, facilities which the Legislature will not
be likely to withhold from the Public.
