The Bill for making a railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par liament,.and the projected South Devon Railway. from Exeter tO Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti tute of railway accemm dation. The otgect of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin sula ; and as the waste of capital and time r Involved in the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens able feattire'of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that . project is already in the hands of the " London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was this Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords, in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the present session, obliged the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." ; Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. _ .

The Marquis of WINCHESTER, Chairman. Hon. W3I. ASHLEY, Deputy Chairman. The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been rocently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okeharnpton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Camborne, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Maranon, and Pen zance. Tills extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate compal y would be produc , ive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Truro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines • and near Bodinin will throw out a branch through the Ch ina clay district to St. Austell, an:: its populous mining neighbourhood. It will als,avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern ‘.;hannel ; whilst connexion with the already constructed railway from Both min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well-known Dela ole Slate Quarries on the onc hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Rude :lanal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the suldect of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion bet Neen those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, bo found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give Hill value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, Mining and general supplies, —were fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well-digested system of Branches; and when the further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much -sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : thenumerous and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Associated Companies, whose names will appear in the Provisional Committee ;—leave no doubt of the suc cessful issue of the application which will be made to Parliament in the next session. The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting the liabilities of shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions, and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the line. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making such alterations in the Main Line, or Branches, and also of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable. The Deposit will be payable on the allotment of the Shares. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment, giving a preference to local applicants, and to the Shareholders in the above-named Asso ciated Companies. The usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed by the Shareholders when called upon.

In eonsequence of the numerous representations made to this Com pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from Salisbury to Poole, through Wimborne, the Committee, incompliance with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this irnport•-nt object. The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Downton and by Fordingbriege, will proceed on to Whaborne Minster, and there joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, will com plete the direct communication to Poole. A survey of the country has been made, and the Committee are enabled to state that the report of the engineers is highly satisfactory, The minute anti careful estimates of the traffic which have al ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital nece:isary for the underielling ; anti as the line will be constructed :mud worked under the management of the Committee of this Corn pant , a m.mterial saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected.

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth traffic to London round by Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has Upon Yarmouth are confined 'to the communication with Norwich and the western and north-western districts. A very large traffic exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Barlestone, and Dias ; and also between all those important towns lad Miry St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To reapply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar- Month Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles. It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near to Yarmouth-bridge as practictble. The line will communicate with the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex pense. This railway will run to the town of Beccles, thence to Bun gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Hiss, commu nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms fbrd, and London. At Dies the railway will be within three miles of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad vantageously constructed. In its course to Beccles it will cross the Lowestoft and Reedham line, and will afford the shortest communi cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very large portion of the barley is malted at Harlestone, Halesworth, Bungay, and Beccles, and supplied to the large London brewers. The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any port. in the kingdom, the average being yearly 435,690 quarters. 70,000 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district. There are 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of 60,376, belonging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter that port. Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and 200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex ceeds half a million of money. In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c., the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap and good fish, it may coatidently be expected that the immediate and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the metropolis. . . An immense quantity of live stock is cent from the district of this railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made. Must pass upon it. Yarmouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected. to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and many others of a first 'class are now in course of building. The trade on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to - - . produce, independently of the fish carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0 To this add for fish traffic from Lowestoft, according to the present quantity supplied to the London market. calculated at a low rate ...... •• • • 3,727 0 0 And for fish traffic from Yarmouth, according to the same data..........

The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it may be fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased by increased trade (particularly in fish, cattle, and grain), when the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are developed to a country hitherto unaccommodated with such ad vantages. The line has been carefhlly surveyed, and no engineering difficulty presents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily. The Waveney Valley forms a natural level channel without a single impediment ; and where the line leaves the valley the euttings are not heavy, and arc required for the necessary embankments in the lower lands. This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and approval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is now the universal opinion that this line is absolutely required by the district, and that without it the trade of this portion of the country will materially suffer, and consequently the value of property be depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to which the great advantages of railway communication have been granted. Provision will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on the deposit and calls until the line is constructed. Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the valley through which the line passes.

It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay down such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may he approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English There Is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant anpply of water power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,0001. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between< the chief port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will he one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Cowan , ' be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be sailed for than may be sufficient to construct that line.

It is not intended to comment on the • earl.. railway schemes partially afi'veliie,4 the Hoe the Cummitttee propose bbotild be adopted, further thou i , t ..I,OIT, that wote of theta have been based upon a sufficiently ~ ,m prettensive, view to allied " a direct organic communication ' with the metropolis; and it is apparent that an entire line, under the management of one Company, is tar preferable to any other commmileation 110‘ , ilVailitbit3 or projected. This line-of railway . is offered to the pnblic as affording not only an independent and direa intercourse between tile metropolis, Exeter, and the various hoportant tiyttllg 1.111‘..11 it, hot effect a saving o f thirty miles and upwards in the circuitous and expensive route by Bristol. The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to this pro ject,—that.the tendeney of the improvements m hicb are almost daily introduced, was decidedly in savour of the shortest and most direct lines ; and it is de , erving of remark, that when the Wilts and Somer set Railway Bill (which has lately received she Royal sanction) was before Parliament; its projectors were required to pledge themselves that they should not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to direct comuntuleations, and - the London and York having obtained the Function of the !louse of Commons to their BUI, after a prolonged opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways. It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the Great Western and the South Western as far as Kitugsclere,—though it will not In any way interfere with those lines,—and is the course actually suggested by the Board of Trade, in its 4th report, sec. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line —stating that there Is nothing In the present settlement of existing railways to prevent a shorter or competing line to Exeter, being brought forward. The Direct London and Exeter Company Intend to form their ter minus in the most emtral part of London which can be obtained. It will be hi the immediate vicinity of Sloane-street and Knightsbridge. It is also Intended that this Company shall join the railway pro jected to cross the Thames; and thus effect an immediate connexion with a central terminus at flungerford-bridge. From the London terminus the line will branch oft to or near Hammersmith, Turnliam Green, Brentford, Islewerth, Hounslow, Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Binneld, Wokinginun, Kingsclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne, Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbournc, Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster), and Honiton, to Exeter. The lino chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Romans ; and as they, whenever practicable, adopted the straight line, the Com mittee intend, as nearly as _possible, following their example. This road was also the old mail-coaeh line, until the circuitous course of the Great Western, in the infancy of railway travelling, diverted the traffic trona... . . . The line of.this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob served; .and. it it proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re. presented .010 that mode . of immediate communication with the metropolts..wilLbe most COligenial.to the wishes of the inhabitants of that town and ltd .vicinity.. The Committee are therefore desirous of accomplishing that object, and invite the immediate and active co-operation of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this port of their scheme espectllly. To the Sporting world also, this undertaking otters a desideratum, which has long been felt ; it is calculated the number of persons an nually visiting- Ascot and ng,lenn •Itaces exceeds Two hundred and Fifty- Thousand. This line will pass In the immediate vicinity of these race-courses ; and near Ascot a handsome and commodious station will Ahe •erected for the accommodation of the public. It is proposed that the present Company should convey a variety of heavy goods, iron, coals, ['rota place to place, far which se parate trains will b 0 allotted r and in consequetice of the great com plaints made, - and the unwilliwness shown by other companies, ILIA the neeessey there is f.w the adoption of some measures for further se eerity against . afsadents, which have - become so prevalent, intend to have lirs4age vans before and at 'the end of each train. and no engine behind for propelling, under any pretence whatever. Th-. traffic tables which are now in course of preparation will when completed, be published, hut thorn tho official- returns, and other sources which have come Within the committee's cognizance, A very amide Interest air the 'capital necessary for this undertaking is shown. ant as the traffic the great aceommodation this railway will 'mord to every description of property in the district through which it will pass, will be greatly inereased, so also will be the Iluaneial returns. . The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and Falmouth Line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for this extension will he published as- soon as the plans and surreys are matured, and In the allotment of shares for this part of the line, preference will he given to the original holders of shares in the "Direct Loudon and Exeter Company," and the landowners on the Falmouth Line.. • _ . ...... . The entire line has been partially surveyed, and the essential benefit arising, from avoiding the Elbow of Bristol been ascertained beyond a doubt. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time proscribed by the standing orders of Parlia ment, and application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Cempany early in the - next Session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at if. per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount vi the subscriptions paid up, and that no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit until the Act he , olnained_aret then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In case Parliament should not sanction the present undertaking, which every aetive means will be taken to secure, the money de posited, deducting the necessary expenses attending the projection, will bp returned to the Shareholders..

Protheroe, Esq., 10, Old Jewry-chambers,London This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham. Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the intended lines that acconunodatioa which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been esti mated upon aut h en ti c v e e p thedoc u lv m eg en te ts m a o n r d L i y a d o n r e m y information , Chepstow h a e t p upwar ds sw give of 300,000 t o ns ; and from side the sam e amoun t o f tr a ffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600 ,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone) , must be ca rr i e d upon th e li ne , independent of the load passenger traffic and an ex t en d e d t ra de i n the produce of the Forest, which will necessa r il y follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. . The revenue from this source alone will exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. ec ha n d t e d w om i 1 n ot e di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which ry Collieries and Iron Works and' to make th e R iver Wye, at Chep stow, which may suggest make e eentor branches a ntyo new t h: Po i s tnh to el A tmth ', lsesel th Fyp e eorsreso p p O : rt trdt o toh f thet fo h r Bee ei v gn pern :x 4 port, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks Ind shifting sands in that river. . .. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navig a ti on; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to pre ride a capital of 600,0001. to meet any c ontingencies which may arise. A reference to the map will show the self - evident importance of this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow) n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public with most inflaentlal support. The line is twenty-six miles in length, has no engineering difficulties ; the gradients and curves are extremely good, and works light. It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdo m w hi c h offers greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro vision wilrbe made in the Act of Parliament which w ill b e applied for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four Per cent. on the calls. Applications for Shares to be made to the Solicitors, or to Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle street, and Messrs. Deckhouse and Co., No. 4, Angel Court, Throgmorton-street, Lon don; Messrs.

The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime sines instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the next session a complete system for supplying railway communi cation with the whola of Kent. It is proposed to provide direct lines to Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham, Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman. South-Eastern Railway-office, July 26, 1845. s
