PROSPECTUS.
THE Chester and Wolverhampton Railway is a direct
line from London to Liverpool.
It uses the London and Birmingham Railway the whole
distance to Birmingham. From thence it proceeds to
Wolverhampton, either on the Grand Junction, or on
the Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway.
From Wolverhampton commences the new portion of
Railway, passing through the rich agricultural districts
of Newport and Whitchurch on to Chester.
At Chester, it proceeds, on the Chester and Birkenhead
Railway, on to Birkenhead.
It is proposed to establish at Birkenhead a Steam Ferry,
gratis, to Liverpool, across the Mersey, so as to unite both
towns into one.
A preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to
the extent of 15,000 to the original Shareholders in the

THIS Line of Railway will establish a direct and the
nearest communication between Cheltenham and Lon-
don, and Cheltenham and Oxford, and by means of other
Lines already carried out, or projected, will afford the
nearest route, from both Cheltenham and Gloucester to
Brighton, Folkstone, Dover, Southampton, Gosport,
Portsmouth, and Cambridge.
The West Coast of Ireland, the Midland Districts of
England, and South Wales, will also, by this means, be
in direct communication with the South and South-East
Coasts of England.
The Lire will commence at a point on the Birmingham
and Gloucester Railway at Cheltenham, and passing close
by Northleach, Bampton, ai,d the important town of
Abingdon, will form a Junction with the Great Western
Hal% ay at, or near, Didcot.
The Branch to Oxford will diverge from the Main Line
at, or near, Bampton.
The Town of Cheltenham by this Line will obtain those
advantages of direct Railway CoMmunication with all
parts of the Kingdom and the Continent, which its im-
portance demands.
A reference to the Map alone will satisfy the Public of
the great utility of this Line, of the immense saving of
distance effected by it, and the profits which must result
to the Shareholders from the vast passenger traffic which will pass over it, fed, as it will be, by sa many other im-
portant Railway communications.
Tha Engineers have received instructions to make the
necessary surveys with the view of continuing this Line
from Didcot by Wallingford to Maidenhead.
Application will be made in the ensuing Session of Par-
liament to enable the promoters to carry out the proposed
undertaking.
The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by
Act of Parliament to the Amount of Subscription, and
power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the
Act until the opening of the Line.
