The question of an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on the Somersetahire 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.

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 ail 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 pass , ngers 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 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 fo•ms 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 mites, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily perfortaed in eight hours and a half; and from Cherbourg a railway is now in course of fartnation 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 ore via Southampton and Havre, is about to put en 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 tke 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 Gr -at 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 thither 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. "'!'h re arc 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 upwars of 6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals and departures FK:r week on an average throughout the year. "The prinztipll part Of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con sists of passengeis, whilst of their goods traffic an important portion consists of merchandize brought by, and intended fercarriage on, the existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For the coneuct of traffic, every. vessel will necessarily require to use the pier and railway on e..ch 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 arid 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 of 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 tock 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 came 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 pleasentness 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 a ise from the immense resort of persons seeking pleasure in the beautiful vicinities of Nether Stowey, Blue Anchor, Minehead, 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 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 incaleu able or disseminating, as manure, in every di rection the celebrated lime of Calmington Park, from which, a,d 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 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 Watcher, so admirably adapted for aquatic building, will alto produce a considerable revenue to this underietking. 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 al; the advantages of which it is capable as a port. Depote for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Br'dgwater stop ; and it way 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 out the objects of this Company. Power will be reserved to allow the shareholders 4/. per cent. on the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or Watchet to Wiveliscombe, Porlock, Bee., and the extensive iron mines of Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of sirJelinTrearylyan, 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 Ist length, and no engineering difficulties present themselves. Until ari Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is gives to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment atilt 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 thil railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between 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 protected lines of railway,. the whole of the ports In the eastern and nurth-eastern counties, In cluding the, manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns If 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 SeVerll. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, arc experienced front water carriage being from 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 traffic 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 merchandi.e 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 and 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 line 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 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 com munication 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, 184 i, 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 not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in t'le 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 Act is obtained, and power wili be applied for 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 rcriptions. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of 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 few 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. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Alston and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs.

The Committee of Management beg to inform the Shareholders that they have determined, under powers existing in the Deed of Settlement, upon adding to their project a branch from Lavenham to Stowmarket, there to effect a junction with the Eastern Union Ex tension line, thus forming not only the most direct route to Norwich hitherto projected, betas may be seen by an inspection of the map, the shortest within the limits of practicability. The Chelmsford and Bury Railway, by means of its Thetford Extension, secures the traffic of the northern and western districts of the counties of Suffolk and - Norfolk, 'together with a large portion of that of Norwich, and by mean of its Stowmarket branch, and the connexion thus formed IN th the Eastern Union Extension and the Waveney Valley lin .s (to both of which it is a most valuable coadjutor), i t secures a v er forty miles of its length not only the remaining traffic of Norwich, but the whole of that of the important port of Yarmouth, to which must be added the towns of Beccles, Bungay, Ilarleston, Dias, and Stowmarket, with all the northern and eastern districts of the above-mentioned counties. The great increase of traffic secured beyond the reach of competition by this branch would amply compensate for even an extravagant outlay In its formation. The committee, however, have great pleasure in stating, that after a pre liminary survey the engineer has reported the locality to be so unusually favourable for railway purposes as to justify them in entertaining a confident hope that no add,tional capital, beyond that mentioned in their prospectus, will be required for its construction.

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 one 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, an d 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 con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester eastward, and by following the coast 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 facilities of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on and neat that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate ; whilst, at the same time, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Int erests 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' own 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 the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth. Budieigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Charrnouth, Lynne-Regis , Weymouth, Sec., 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, 1845, 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 dowfl to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most 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, ky 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, w hich will be ,thus attracted t o thi s port, w ill be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there ar e 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 mllea ; making, in She whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to th e construc tion of a railway calculated., as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and in the allotment of the shares a 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 they are satisfied 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 pre pared, 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 41. 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.

KILKENNY, CARLOW, and WICKLOW RAILWAY COMPANY. Offices, 449, West Strand, London. _, The Committee of Management of the above Company have the satisfaction of stating that the Clonmel and Kilkenny Railway Com pany has been united with this Company, and it is now intended to make application to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to construct a line of railway from Clonmel to Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow, whereby the former important cities will be brought into direct railway communication with the metropolis of Ireland by the nearest route. Negotiations are also in progress with the Waterford and Kilkenny Company, who obtained their Act of Parliament last session, for securing the support and co-operation of that Company to the undertaking, which It la confidently anticipated will terminate satis factorily. A reference to the official trains map of the railway Commis sioners will show the great extent of the traffic between the several towns on the line, and the prospect of its proving highly remunera tive to the shareholders. The requisite capital having been already subscribed for, the allot ment of shares will be proceeded with forthwith ; and as the project has received the unqualified approbation of the landed proprietors along the line, and is warmly supported by the English Great Western, the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Companies, and the other Irish Companies in connexion with that in terest, a portion uf the Directors of the Great Western Company forming part of the Committee of Management, the sanction of Par liament to the measure may be most confidently anticipated. Applicants for shares in either Company, before their amalgama tion are at liberty to withdraw the same, if they desire to do so, before Monday, the 15th of September , until which time applications for shares in the Cionmel, Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wicklow Company, will be received, addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's offices, 449, West Strand, London. The capital of the Company will be augmented to 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of 201. each, upon which a deposit of 21. will be re quired, to meet the new standing orders of Parliament. The designation of the Company will be changed to the " Clolunel, Kilkenny, Carlow. and Wicklow Railway Company." By order, Sept. SOM. NICILLBD M. IILUGGERIDGE. Its connexion with London has become of such paramount im portance as to demand the most direct and perfect communication that can possibly be established- This is the main object of the pro posed undertaking. This Railway will proceed from London to Hungerford by the Great Western Railway, there leaving that railway and running almost in a straight-line by Marlborough, Caine, and Chippenham, where it will again join the Great Western Railway : thus giving to the towns of Marlborough and Caine (which at present have no railway) a direct communication with London ; and also with Bath, Bristol, the South Western Counties of England and South Wales. From Chippenham the line will pass near Chipping Sodbury, and proceed to the. Bristol and Gloucester Railway at Westerleigh (about eight miles from Bristol), and by a junction with that rail way the direct line ft om London 'to Bristol will be completed. From Westerleigh the line will be continued to the river Severn at Aust, and be carried across that river by means of the fixed bridge of the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railway. On the Monmouth shire side of the river it will proceed fur another half mile over the river Wye, direct to, and terminate at, the South Wales Railway, near to Hunger Pill. This last half mile will of itself effect a saving in distance between London and South Wales of about four miles. By taking advantage, as far as possible, of existing railways, this project will complete at once the most direct and best trunk-line from London to Bath, Bristol, and the South-Western Counties of England ; but more especially to Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Swan sea, Milford Haven, the whole of South Wales, and Ireland. The following are the savings in distance effected by the proposed line:— Between London and path, via Hungerford, the pro posed line as far as Chippenham, and the Great Western Railway ...... ............... about 7 miles. Between London and Bristol, via Hungerford, the proposed line as far as Westerleigh, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway. •••• • • • • .... •••• • • • about 8 miles. Between London and the whole of South Wales. via the Great Western Railway, the proposed tunnel under the Severn at Hock Crib, and the South Wales Railway to Hunger Pi 11.......... ... • about 16 miles. Between London and the whole of South Wales, via the Great Western, and the Bristol and Liverpool Junction Railways ... These great savings in distance are by no means the principal features of the undertaking. By this direct communication between London and Bristol the Box tunnel will be entirely avoided, an im portant fact which will no doubt have a most powerful effect with passengers. Moreover passengers to and from South Wales will be enabled to travel at all times by means of the fixed bridge over the Severn at the .dust or Old Passage; thus avoiding on the one hand the well known dangers, inconveniences, delays, and difficulties of the open ferry of two miles and a half, at the New Passage, proposed by the Bristol and South Wales Junction Railway Company; and, on the other hand, the tunnel of about a mile under the Severn, proposed by the :.'outh Wales Railway Company, which (even if capable of con struction) must ever leave the public apprehensive of accident. Reference to a Map will clearl3 demonstrate that the great stream of passengers and traffic between London, Bristol, the South-Western Counties and Ireland will flow through the proposed line and South Wales to Milford Haven and Flshguard Harbour. The establishment of Valentia, as the chief out-port to the Canada, and the United States, will moreover create a traffic, via South Wales, never hitherto contemplated. But supposing Valentia should not become that out port, there can be no doubt that Milford Haven, from its extreme western position and natural advantages, must. Independently of the passenger traffic above referred to, the faci lities which the line will afford to the unequalled iron works of South Wales, and the extensive copper and tin works of Swanseaand Neath must induce the manufacturer to transmit his goods with safety, economy, and rapidity by rail, rather than with hazard and delay by sea. A new and most important market will be opened to the owners of collieries in South Wales. Newport will be brought within 129 miles of London ; and it may be confidently asserted that the Metro polis will draw an immense supply of coal from that neighbourhood, inasmuch as coal of most excellent quality can be delivered in Lon don from the Welsh collieries at about 15s. per ton. The principal advantages of direct railway communication between important termini are now too universally admitted both by Parlia ment and the public to need argument. Many important direct lines have been already favourably received; but when the savings in distance —the avoidance of a ferry and tunnels—the new channels for traffic— the giviog of railway accommodation to a large district—and the establishment of the most direct and complete communication be tween London and Bath, Bristol, and South Wales are recollected— and especially that these important benefits can be obtained by the formation of a line fifty-two miles only in length—it is confidently as serted that the proposed railway holds out advantages superior to any hitherto projected, and will at the same time prove, if not the most, one of the most profitable investments ever offered to the public. The subscribers will he held liable only to the extent of their first deposits, until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amoun, of their subscriptions. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the management and control of the Com mittee of Management, as appointed. Power will be applied for in the Act—and in the meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to increase the capital, if necessary ; to alter or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with any other com pany or companies ; and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.

REPORT TO THE ENGLISH SUBSCRIBERS. GenermmEN,—We regret our not being able to report that we have succeeded in our efforts to obtain for you the objects of our Associa tion ; our best energies have been devoted to the subject, but from the altered state of the circumstances which has now arisen, oar Company, as at present constituted, is not in a position to compete for the Lease. At the time our Company was formed, it was tinders•ood that the Government would provide the land ibr the line and stations, and possibly would undertake' the earthworks.' The capital we then proposed (60 millions of francs), was considered sufficient to provide all that the Company, under that state of circumstances, would have required ; but after much doubt and delay, the Government have at length determined that their lessees sheull undertake the purchase of the land, as well as the entire construction and working of the Rail way. The Bill has now passed the Chambers in that form, and has fixed the Capital at 80 millions (irrespective of the Grenoble Branch).

The great and important object of this undertaking Is to co sect by a Railway in the most direct route, and of the least expenre character, the mall and shipping port of Southampton. and the port and harbour of Poole, with Manchester, Liverpool, and the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwick shire; in fact, with the whole of the cotton, woollen, salt, pottery, and iron manufacturing and producing districts. It is not necessary in this case to enter into the question of ex pediency or inexpediency of railway communication, the necessity and advantage of such a measure being obvious and fully admitted. . _ . . . This line commencing at Cheltenham, to which point railway com munication from the north already exists, proceeds to Cirencester and Marlborough, and then passing down the peopled and fertile valley of the Avon to Salisbury, meets with the railway now con structing by way of Romsey to Southampton ; thus making the dis tanc3 to Southampton as short as by any other practicable route, and saving the construction of twenty-three miles of railway. From Salisbury it is intended, still pursuing the valley of the Avon, to soutinue the line eighteen miles to a point about three miles west of Ringwood, where, 'meeting the Southampton and Dorchester Line, it communicates with Poole and the country below as far as Dor chester and Weymouth. It is also intended to carry the line from a point on the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, about two miles south of Wimborne, by the shortest route, Ito the town and quay of Poole, entering the town on its northern side. About four miles below Marlborough it is intended to make a branch in the same course as the Kennet and Avon Canal, about eight miles long, to Devizes. It has already been stated, that it is not necessary to enter upon the question of expediency of railway communication with South ampton; but it is proper to state why the line here laid down is pre ferable to that from Marlborough by way of Ludgershall and An dover to that place. The latter is hilly, compsratively barren, a+ .id uninhabited, and consequently expensive, with very little local traffic ; and would have to depend in a commensurate degree on the through traffic for support ; it would also be necessary to make a line the whole distance, there being no existing lino with which it could unite between Marlborough and Southampton. It is also open to the objection that it runs from Andover to Southampton parallel with and at a short distance from the South-Western line of Railway, which must necessarily leave it a very limited amount of traffic as respects that distance, even if it should not expose it to the powerful opposition of that company. On the other hand, this line passing as it does from north to south, through the heart of the county of Wilts, a distance of fitly miles, unites the whole of that county, obtains the traffic now existing between its towns, which is considerable, and affords with the aid of the branch to Devizes and the existing and projected railweys, easy access from all parts of Wiltshire to the county town of Salisbury, and also to Devizes, the alternate assize town. Thus far, the greater advantages of this route as regards the line to Southampton only have been spoken of, and important as they are with reference to the interest of the shareholders, and the accom modation of the country traversed, a further advantage, not only to the shareholders but to the public attained by this project, has yet to be stated. By the formation of eighteen miles of railway between Salisbury and Ringwood, passing by the towns of Downton and Fordingbridge, the port and harbour and the town and county of the town of Poole are brought within the operation of this comprehensive scheme. The harbour of Poole admits ♦essels up to 400 tons Barden ; and it has been confidently asserted by practical men, that by a small' outlay improvements might be made to admit ships •f the largest size. There are safe and quiet moorings for vessels, with ample quays and warehouses, and the dues and charges are about one -twelfth of the ordinary charges at other ports in England. The existing local traffic alone would, it is calculated, be sufficient to pay the Shareholders a remunerating dividend on the outlay required for making the line from Salisbury to Ringwood. In the Item of Potter's Clay alone there are annually shipped for the Potteries upwards of fifty thousand tons, which, after reacting Liverpool, have to be transmitted by inland navigation about sixty miles to reach their destination, at a total cost for carriage of 20e. per ton—every ton of which would unquestionably be forwarded from Poole by this railway. The stone of the Isle of Purbeck, ♦ast quantities of which are used for flagging and building purposes, would find a much more extensive and ready market in the interior of the country, if there were cheaper and more ready and convenient means of trans- porting it. The announcement of this project has been hailed with the utmost satisfaction both in the north and throughout every district over which the line passes, as well as by every Interest identified with it, or affected by it.

This important line, the only one having for its object the direct communication between South Wales, Birmingham, the midland counties, Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, will commence at Hereford, and pa-sing to the vale of the Severn, via llewdley, Brldg north, Broseley, Iron-bridge, and Colebrook-dale, take a direct route through or near Wellington and Market Drayton to Crewe, or to Runcorn, whence the existing lines will continue the traffic to Liverpool, Manchester, and the north. At Bewdley there will be a branch line through Kidderminster to Birmingham and the midland counties. Reference to the map will show that three projected railways con verge at Hereford, viz. :—The South Wales line from the coast, at Newport, via Monmouth; the Bristol and Liverpool Junction from Bristol, over the Severn ; and the Great Eastern and Western, from Swansea, by way of Merthyr and Abergavenny. This grand trunk will, therefore, connect with the north and central portions of the kingdom, by the nearest practicable route, Bristol, the west of Eng land, and the whole of South Wales, containing a vast population and extensive iron, copper, tin plate, and coal works, numerous and important ports, including Milford Haven, and the Government dock yard, and concentrate to itself the great passenger and goods tragic now conveyed by various circuitous routes to and fro. This line, too, will unite the iron districts of South Wales with those of Staffordshire and Shropshire. Apart from the ordinary incentives to travelling, the beautiful allenery of South Wales and the various watering places will add con siderably to the passenger traffic on this line. A more than usual revenue may be calculated upon in the goods traffic, arising from the extensive connexion existing between South Wales and the important termini, conveying, as this communicatitle will, the various productions of iron, copper, coal, tin Plate" 8"., to the north, and woollens, cottons, salt, hardware , p otter y ware, cattle, and agricultural produce, required for the se veral counties, dis trieta, and towns, accommodated by this line, westward, with the advantage of delivery in a few hours, flee from the risk and delays ct a sea voyage, and at one-third the distance. The conveyance of coals to the counties through which these linen run will also be a means of considerable and increasing revenue. whilst the supplies to the barren districts of the iron works of agri cultural produce will add to the profit as well as unite by ties of mu tual interest the agricultural and commercial community By means of this projection, portions of the kingdora not so pro vived by any other scheme, will participate iu the advantages of rail way communication, and it will also fbrm hereafter, with other rail ways about to be commenced, the nearest route to London for a very extensive portion of the country. Founded on the principles of direct and comprehensive communi ca!ion with distant parts of the kingdom, this line will be the most complete in the empire, and, carried as it can and will be in almost a straight line, must thus secure itself for the future against the corn• petition of any rival projection. At the same time every regard has been had to local accommoda tion,kuuwthe and the closest scrutiny will convince those who wi lan wants and requirements of the towns and districts embraced t its scope that this has been most amply provided for . pany shall be under the management and co Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtainenduruieaefffatihrseocfutmheuSonse; red to enter into such t ar of Management, who are hereby and s t 0 C o r m a p e e a n a y d L aT u d u t n h a e l publicr ang ea w e t h s a shallexisting best urp projected s e • t e ed the comps e u m i nm nye a w r L i e t: , and also to nominate the first not disturb the gauge of the u ss v io en n ieu it eie is s i o n f te di nd ff e e d ren to t capital, if required, to exten o ci s t c h s i i s tt l' in i Directors shuuld t o h f e ti c ie u C ru o m m i p ee a.n iu y . .. adopt the wide ft. g B to ill a p v ass oid ed th t e his inc s o e South Wales Railwuaye gauges. e pr will be taken unde r t he Act t o li mit the responsibility ot .
