A branch will connect the towns of Congleton and Maccles field. A communication will be opened from these places, and Mini the salt districts of Cheshire, on the one hand to Idierpool, and on the other to Manchester, the ports on the Mintier, and the eastern coast of England, and will thus ttlitird a great additional market for the produce of the district, and facilitate the foreign trade from these coasts. An inspectiOn Of the map will show the importance of the line of country proposed to be accommodated by some of the advantages attending it will be as follow : means of this railway, and 'The Pottery district alone contains an immense popUlation, and the wnole of that district is at present without railway accommodation. The importance of the Pottery trade 15 too manifest to require a mo ment's comment, and the prinCipal part of that trade being connected With Liverpool it ish4thly important, In a national point of view, that every facility shotild be given to the communication betwixt these iparts. In no line of railway at present formed or project has the nterest of the Pottery district, as a whole, been duly c onsidered ; 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 mast 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 future 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 treasure, overlooked in the railway arrange ments hitherto tarried 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-:geld 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 th e 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 north 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 line 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 course. 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 such to take a personal interest 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.

Strahan and Co.; and M Messrs. Stuckey and Co., Bristol, :essrs. Robarta and Co., London. 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 an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on the Somersetahlre 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 hotirs, and very often a great deal more, 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 Yeovil 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, thlly 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 en a line of packets between the ports of Poole nd Cherbourg and the Channel Islands, thus shorten* 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, fur 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, dang 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 merchanclize brought by, and Intended fur 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 plate of destination: " The number of passengers tarried by the existing_ steam-boats amounts to at least 200,000 per annum ; and When it it considered that the facilities afforded by the pier of Starting and arriving at all times of the tide, Will citable Vessels which now perform bat one voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from the nearer ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or tbur times in the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the voyages to Swansea, Tent*, and Ilfracombe, they will erred a Saving of one-half the tittle noW occupied, arid that similar advantages will be derived by the trade with Ceriii:all and Ireland, it can neither be doubted that the apetnie Of conveyance between Bristol and those places Will he teriSinerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the tithes of departure and arrival, must hash the effect of causing a great increase in the number of passengers. "A large and inOst Valhable portion of the Merchandise carried by the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-beats Consists of fish, poultry, eggs, Vegetalsies, and other articles of provision; speed and certainty l a tt re tl o te bv c i o o l u iv s e iT ya e n ss c e e n a ti n a d l, d att el d Pi t e h ry e t i a l r it t i l e c s les in of thi so s p r e e r s i p s e h e a t b aff le : rd n e a d tur hy e the Oki Art Such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking. " A ctuvTeiryageof Livec onsiderablek tuerevbernouuge brought ly the Irishalsobederi s v t e e d am from bo t a h t e s, ch la w nd h i i ng and 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 nptoretra‘ensturnaldte jti th stl e y la lb rg u e tid p eLt i r e a n fli n c f , l i t t th is at i w lev ill er e t e h m el e es o s v im er po th ss is ibi l e in t e e , 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 31inehean, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided. go 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 beautifhl vicinities of Nether Stowey, Blue Anchor, Minehead, Porlock, Linton, Lynmouth, and the far-famed Valley of Hocks 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 fl'om Ireland alone is upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex pect that these will be landed at the far nearer- port of Minehead, 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 arise. 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 3finehead, 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 Mlnehcad 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 eli the advantages of which it is capable as a port. Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwiteh 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 tone of foreign trade. From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of the proposed capital will be required to carry *tit the objects of this Company. Power will be reserved to allow the shareholders 41. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or Watchet to Wivellscombe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines of Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of Sir John Trevylyan, are in active working within seven miles 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 flmds 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 by thi s railway is, as well to supp l y the want s of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication betw een the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected 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 sub m it t o the public, a, a most imports experienced along the em ant consideration, the abating o f th ose cau ses of loss and inconveni encea ss, a re which, fr line overof wa eo te u r nt ea ry rrlage which this railway will puss, beingfrom necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most cell coils sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traits which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lien of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the m ore 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 slid Other similar undertakings are alone capable of Producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus Or the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed front thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Aleester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will foil* 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 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 Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct corn ' municatlon 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 provlsling 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, 11145, 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 expense 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 lot interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several 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 A e t i s obtained, and power will be applied far to allow interest at 41. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the *mown of their sub reription.s. wer to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line railway ;to vary the route; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a fbw days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth bury, London; Messrs. rayne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs.

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, A.Xmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line - will divide, taking the course direct to Dor citheesrte, rp,astslmig o join the So ut h am p ton and Dorchester Railway, and the o near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.

The following extract from the.Roport of the Seleit Celthisitfee of the Haase of Lords an the " Wilts Somerset, and Weymouth way," made on the 18th of June, (841, will show the sense enter tained by that body Of the itiiportanee tff a line Of railway in the di rection proposed by the preteht CtinffifiitY I—d in n1111[114( their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the gfesit diM culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to &id, laid :Olsen from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Hallway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be , low Yeovil, they might net be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable thatmer to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be father 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 tine, 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 ix 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.
