This line of railway will commence at a point on the Grand Junc tion Railway at Stafford, and passing from thence by Stone, Lane end, Fenton, Stoke-upon-Trent, Shelton, Hanley, Burslem, and Tun stall, to Congleton, it will proceed by Knutsford to Altrincham, where it will join the South Junction Railway to Manchester, an Act for, which has been obtained ; and from Congleton by Northwich to Preston-Brook, where it will communicate with the Grand Junction Railway, and proceed thence to Liverpool. A branch from Stoke upon-Trent, by Newcastle to Crewe, affording accommodation to the Silverdale and Apedale Ironworks, will connect the main line with the important railways meeting at that point, and give the shortest possible route from the Potteries to Chester, Holyhead, and Birken head. A branch will connect the towns of Congleton and Maccles field. A communication will be opened from these places, and from the salt districts of Cheshire, on the one hand to Liverpool, and on the other to Manchester, the ports on the Humber, and the eastern coast of England, and will thus afford a great additional market for the produce of the district, and facilitate the foreign trade from these coasts. An country inspection proposed to b of the map will d theod3 meanswbt.h of thisrailway, importance of he in ea and be accommodated some of the advantages attendi ng it w ill b e as f o ll ow : The Pottery district alone contains an immense population, and the waole of that district is at present without railway accommodation. The importance of the Pottery trade is too manifest to require a mo ment's comment, and the principal part of that trade being connected with Liverpool, it is highly important, in a national point of view, that every facility should be given to the communication betwixt these parts. In no line of railway at present formed or projected has the interest of the Pottery district, as a whole, been duly considered ; but, by the present line, it is intended to afford accommodation to every town in the district, and to give the best and most direct com munication betwixt the Potteries and Chester, Birkenhead and Liverpool, and also through Manchester, with the ports on the Hum ber and the east coast of England, thus affording facilities for a re vival of the trade with Holland, Belgium, and Germany, which, it is believed, will be attended with important results to the Altura trade of the Potteries. The important manufacturing towns of Congleton and Macclesfield, with :heir districts, containing also a very large population, have likewise been, in a great measure, overlooked in the railway arrange ments hitherto carried out ; and it Is proposed by this railway to afford communication from those places, by existing and projected routes, to the south of England, and to Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, Birkenhead, North Wales, and the whole of the north and east of England and Scotland. The proposed line of railway will afford facilities to the coal dis tricts of Staffordshire, Cheshire, and South Lancashire, especially accommodating the large coal-field at Biddulph, and will tend mate rially to reduce the cost of that article in the country through which the line is intended to pass. The shortest and most direct route will be afforded by existing and projected routes from Southampton, Birmingham, and the whole of South. Staffordshire, through the Potteries, to the salt districts and the north of England ; and the facilities of communication from the country intersected by this line to Liverpool, Birkenhead, Man chester, Chester, North Wales, and all parts of the moth and east of England, and to London, Southampton, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire, and all parts of the south and west of England, and South Wales, will be as ample as can be desired, whilst the traffic, both of goods and passengers, that is manifestly attendant on the lino of country will be such as to ensure the most ample return on the capital invested. The line has been properly inspected, and has been found free from material engineering difficulties, and the landowners are mainly fa vourable to its coarse. The capital proposed to be raised has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the completion of the works. The Provisional Committee being aware that it was of the greatest importance to carry with them the right feeling of the landowners, manufacturers, and others interested in the line, respectfully invite all sach to take a p ersona l i nterest in the undertaking ; and they declare it to be their wish to be materially guided in the allotment of shares by the opinions of gentlemen immediately interested in the line. The liability of each shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parlia ment to the amount of subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

Robarts and Co., London. Messrs. Stuckey and Co., Bristol, Bridgwater, and Taunton. One of the principal objects this Company has in view, is a great saving of time in the journey from Ireland and South Wales to Bristol and London, by avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage of the Bristol Channel, and at the same time effecting the long sought-for communication between the English and Bristol Channels, all of which will be gained by connecting Minehead with Bridge water by a Railway, and there forming a junction with the railways already opened, and also with those now in actual progress between Bridgwater and the commodious and important port of Poole. The question of au eligible steam-packet and post-office station on the Somersetshire coast for Ireland, Wales, and the Westward gene rally, from whence vessels may arrive and depart at all times, with out reference to tide, has for many years past been regarded as one of immense importance to the Government and the public. By making Minehead a post-office station, a saving of twelve hours will be effected in the delivery of letters between Ireland and the whole of the west and south of England ; and no other port on the coast of Somerset (or even on the north of Devon) will be so safe, and sheltered from all the prevailing winds. At Minehead, the proposed railway will run down on a pier, which the largest class steamers may approach, and land and embark pas sengers at all states of the tide, and again proceed at once into the Western Ocean on their outward voyage. The public is perhaps hardly aware that, even with the present imperfect and rude arrangements for, landing passengers at Weston Super-Mare, it is found that passengers from Ireland and the impor tant ports of the south of Wales save several hours by landing at that place ; whereas, by the proposed pier and railway from Minehead, passengers would save generally twelve hours, and very often a great deal snore, on their journey to London, avoiding, besides, the dangers of the Bristol Channel. It is not among the least striking features of this project that it forms part of a grand scheme for shortening the communication between Ireland and Wales with Jersey, Guernsey, Paris, and the Continent generally, as passengers landed at Minehead will proceed by this railway to others now in progress via Teovll and Dorchester to Poole, from which port the distance to Cherbourg is only sixty miles, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily performed in eight hours and a half; and from Cherbourg a railway is now in course of formation to Paris. The distance also to the Channel Islands is reduced in the same proportion. A powerful com pany, fully alive to the advantages of this mode of transit in prefe rence to the more tedious one via Southampton and Havre, is about to put on a line of packets between the ports of Poole and Cherbourg and the Channel Islands, thus shortening the route in point of time by about seventeen hours. This Company, in showing to the public the probable amount of traffic which will flow over their line, beg leave to draw attention to the following extracts, taken from a prospectus of a Company, formed under the auspices of the Chairman of the Great Western Company, and the leading bankers and merchants of Bristol, for making a pier at, and railway from Portbury, to Bristol, and on which no further comment will be made, save that whatever applies to Portbury, ap plies with infinitely greater force to Minehead, both in the saving of time, clang r, delay, and expense. " There are at the present time engaged in the trade with South Wales, Somersetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Liverpool, and Ireland, twenty-three steam-vessels of the aggregate tonnage of upwards of 6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals and -departures per week on an average throughout the year. " The principal part of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con sists of passengers, whilst of their goods traffic an important portion consists of merchandize brought by, and intended fer carriage on, the existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For the conduct of this traffic, every vessel will necessarily require to use the pier and railway on each occasion of departure and arrival, as the most expeditious, convenient, and economical mode of conveying such traffic to or towards its place of destination. " The number of passengers carried by the existing steam-boats amounts to at least 200,000 per annum; and when it is considered that the facilities afforded by the pier of starting and arriving at all times of the tide, will enable vessels which now perform but one voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from the nearer ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or four times in the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the voyages to Swansea, Tenby, and Ilfracombe, they will effect a saving 9f one-half the time now occupied, and that similar advantages will be derived by the trade with Cornwall and Ireland, it can neither be doubted that the expense of conveyance between Bristol and those places will be considerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the times of departure and arrival, must have the effect of causing a great increase in the number of passengers. . . "A large and most valuable portion of the merchandise carried by the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-beats consists of fish, poultry, eggs, vegetables, and other articles of provision ; speed and certainty in the conveyance and delivery of articles of so perishable a nature are obviously essential, and the facilities in this respect afforded by the pier are such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking. " A very considerable revenue will also be derived from the landing and carriage of Live stock brought by the Irish steam boats, which being imported fat and ready to kill, now suffer much injury from the detention of the vessels in Kingroad whilst waiting for tide." Although it is unnecessary to calculate upon the whole of this im portant and justly founded traffic, it is nevertheless impossible to over-estimate the large portion of it that will come over this line, when it is remembered that by the proposed scheme the harbour of Waterford will, by means of powerful steamers, be brought within twelve, and the ports of Dublin and Cork within fifteen hours of the terminus at Minehead, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided. So also must the traffic derived from steam-boats, and on the line itself, be added, which will arise from the immense resort of persons seeking pleasure in the beautiful vicinities of Nether Stowey, Blue Anchor, Alinehead, Porlock, Linton, Lynmouth, and the far-famed Valley of Rocks and adjacent country, so aptly termed the Switzer land of England, and which only require increased facilities to be much more than even at present resorted to ; and so great is the existing traffic that, by the calculations already made, a large reve nue will be derived from this source alone. The present number of cattle sent to Bristol from Ireland alone is upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex pect that thesd will be landed at the far nearer port of ldinehead, thereby creating a considerable source of revenue. The importance of this railway to the agricultural district of North Somerset is incalculable for disseminating, as manure, in every di rection the celebrated lime of Cannington Park, from which, and also from the carrying of coal, a large revenue will mile. Memel timber brought into the port of Poole (the harbour dues of which are very insignificant) can be unshipped, carried across by rail, and re-shipped at Minehead, at a cost of 7s. per ton less in freight, than if carried round the Landsend, exclusive of the great saving in time • this alone will open a large trade with Wales, as vessels will bring over coals to Minehead, and take back timber, limestone, flour, mine, slates, and copper ore. The blue has lime-stone of Watchet, so admirably adapted for aquatic building, will also produce a considerable revenue to this undertaking. The flour and provision trade, at present carried on between the mining districts of South Wales and the coast of Somerset, must ne cessarily flow over this line, and create an Important feature in Its revenue. One of the first effects of the formation of this line will be, that steam communication will be established between Minehead and the following places :—Swansea, Tenby, Milford, Neath, Haverfordwest, Pembroke, and Carmarthen, and with the whole of the South of Ireland; and this railway, with a suitable station and wharfs, will also afford to Watchet all the advantages of which it is capable as a port. Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Bridgwater stop ; and it may be mentioned that 130,000 tons of coasting trade come into this port annually, exclusively of 10,000 tons of foreign trade. From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of the proposed capital will be required to carry cut the objects of this Company. Power will be reserved to allow the sharekolders 41. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or Watchet to Wiveliscombe, Porlock, Soc., and the extensive iron mines o f Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of Sir John Trevylyan, are in active workingwithin sevenmiles of Mine head. From this source, as also from the copper mines of Andrew Crosse, Esq., a large revenue must arise. The landowners have been communicated with, and are most anxious for the successful carrying out of the objects of the Com pany; nor is there reason to expect that any Parliamentary opposi tion will be offered. The line will be twenty-five miles in length, and no engineering difficulties present themselves. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the thuds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above, to raise any additional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, docks, piers, wharfs, or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.

The object proposed b y t hi s railway, as is, as well to stipPlY the wants PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS. .. of the district through w hi ch it p to complete the chain of asses railway communication b e t ween the eastern and m idland counties and the western district, i ncluding the whole of N or th and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the riche ,' thickly t description, and populated. By means of this, and the existing and protected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the ab a ti ng of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being front necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffle which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of :the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are Alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this llne will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol- verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the ',en close, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct cow. =ldeation with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of exPanse incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the sever al Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied far to allow interest at 4/. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub scriptions. power to themselves to amalgamate with The Directors reserve any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extension s ; and to increase t he capital its may be advisable or necessary.

Weymouth—George Arden, Bsq. Bridport—E. Nicholetts, Esq. Sidmouth—Edwin Church Everitt, Esq. Exeter—George William Turner, Esq. This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city' of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham, with a fork at , Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton, Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth. At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been coil structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester' eastward, and by following the *east as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of the Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri cultural, l'ilanufactnring, and Commercial Interests of this part of the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must' even tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other Ports of th e Ki ng d om, wh i c h t h ey formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 18th of June, 1145, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen from the' fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difileulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the meat westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to. Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given to the applications of persons locally interested. Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro moters of the line, from which it is evident that an ample re turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions. Applications for copies of the prospectus, and for shares, may be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 62, Moor gate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs.

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will fetich Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Ilunt ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitwich, Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon. At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways. The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the Capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions tof the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as It will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct frpm Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with-. the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. To the population: Hong the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of 'he kingdom, this undertaking will present the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort- 7 Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portals of t he country. sed to be joined or The Shareholders in tko several railways prop* intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking No person will be liable for more than h is de P ° obtained, and power will be applied for t allowsitinttilleresthte atA Act t oar ii pounds per centum on all calls from the q imeof their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the share h o lders to the amount of their subscription. • Applications for shares in she a ce n , no , xed form to be made te the 5, Gresham-street, London, or Provisional Committee, at the 111 to Messrs.
