THIS Railway is projected for the following important
purposes :-
I.—To connect, by a continuous Line of Railway, and
by a much shorter route than at present exists, Manches-
ter, Leeds. Bolton, Preston, and the other populous
Towns of Yorkshire and Lancashire with the Chester and
Holyhead and Chester and Wrexham Railways, now in
the course of formation. At present there is no direct
Railway communicati n.
2.—To reduce the Railway distance between Manches-
ter and the intended Docks at Birkenhead, from 66 miles
to 51 miles, a very important saving, when it is considered
that Birkenhead will be a most convenient Port for the
Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
3.—To reduce the Railway distance between Manches-
ter and Chester, from 52 miles to 38 miles, and between
Warrington and Chester, from 45 miles to 18 miles.
4.—To form a direct communication at Preston-brook
with the Bridgewater Canal, and so afford to the Inhabit-
ants of Manchester a very expeditious, and, at the same
time, a cheaper means of conveyance to Chester and North
Wales than can be obtained in any other manner.
To effect these important objects it will only be neces-
sary to form a Line of Railway from Preston-brook, on
the Grand Junction Railway, through Frodsham to Ches-
ter, a distance of 13 miles, and, as Mr. Buck reports,
over a most favourable line of country. The Line will
not be in competition with existing interests, but, on the
contrary, will feed the traffic on the Liverpool and Man-
chester and Grand Junction Railways, and the Bridge-
water Canal. The Shareholders may safely calculate
upon a very remunerative rate of interest for the capital
invested, in consequence cf the large traffic which must
necessarily be brought upon this Line by the many Rail-
ways with which it will communicate. A Deposit of
£1 10s. per Share to be paid on the Allotment of Shares,
and it is intended to apply for powers to enable the Share-
holders to receive interest on their deposits after the rate
of £4 per Cent. per Annum.
Application for Prospectuses, Maps, and other infor-
mation, and also for Shares, to be made to

perty, but also to afford information on every question
affecting the interests of the trade.

Vice-President, Treasurer, and a Committee of thirty,
five of the Committee to form a quorum, whose duty is
to transact the business of the Society, and arrange and
prepare any rules or by-laws that may from time to time
be suggested, and lay them before any General Meeting
for consideration ; that the said Committee be empowered
to fill up any vacancies short of that number, or which

time be agreed upon, and also of defraying all legal mid
other expenses of the Society.
IV.—That the Officers of this Society shall be elected
annually, at the General Meeting, to be held on the last
Thursday in September of every year; but to ensure re-

precisely; that proper books shall be kept by the Secre-
tary, showing all receipts and disbursements, and the

meat of all resolutions passed by the Society, which book
shall be produced and the minutes of the resolutions con-
firmed at the next meeting ; and that no resolutions so
passed shall be acted upon or considered binding on this
Society until they shall have been so confirmed and
signed by the Chairman, unless such resolutions shall
have been carried unanimously.
Vl.—That any Licensed Victualler, who may be desi-

mitted upon being proposed and seconded on any meeting

signed by five Members, shall have the power of calling a
Special General Meeting.

matters that may affect the trade generally, or this Society
in particular, it shall be considered a duty incumbent on

ance.

ings against him for a breach of the laws, he shall forward
the same to the President, who may call a special meeting
of the Committee, who shall, upon due consideration of
the said Member's case, decide upon the expediency of

the place of hearing to which such Member shall have
been summoned ; and if the Solicitor certify that the pro-
ceedings were vexatious and malicious, the legal expenses
