This Company is formed to provide railway accommodation for the Isle of Axholme, the towns on the east bank of the Trent, In Lincolnshire, the extensive district called Marshland ; the towns of Thorne, Hatfield, and Snaith, in Yorkshire, and the several places on "%West bank of the Trent, in Nottinghamhire, between Gainsborough 411 t1 the Isle of Axholme. This country contains 40,000 inhabitants, in an area of 160,000 Peres of very productive land, including 60,000 acres called warp land, formed by rich alluvial deposit. The potatoes alone grown within it for the London and Yorkshire markets, exceed 1 20,800 tons annually, and the total agricultural exports and im- Ports exceed 266,000 tons per annum. The whole of this country is l it present destitute of railway accommodation or any certain means Whatever of public conveyance. Hence travelling within it is un- Usually expensive and dilatory, and large quantities of produce, par ticularly potatoes, are frequently spoiled for want of prompt means of export to the markets of the manufacturing districts, and London. The proposed line will effectually supply this want, and will also im port into the district coals, and other necessaries of life, at a greatly reduced cost, together with natural and artificial manures for in creasing the permanent value and productive powers of the land. It Will bring the l'ort of Goole within 21 miles of that of Gainsborough, lind within 60 miles of that of Great Grimsby. It will present to the' manufacturing districts the readiest access to the German Ocean and the north of Europe, avoiding the delay and heavy charges Of carriage and shipment to and from Hull. The extension from Goole to Selby, connecting this line with the London and York, and also with the Leeds and Selby (to each of 'which, as well as the Grimsby and Sheffield, it will be a valuable feeder) will open a direct communication to the north of England ; and this, the present scheme, will supply all the accommodation now Wanting for the north and east of Lincolnshire. It will pass through an easy country, almost on a level, without any tunnel or deep cutting whatever,not impeding any navigation, drainage, or warping, nor prejudicing any residential property; and 'ill,' it is calculated, be constructed considerably within the estimated capital. Power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent. en the calls until the line is completed. Application for shares to be made in the subjoined form to Messrs.

Bucks The Hon. Philip Sidney Pierrepont, Evenley Hall, Brackley, North amptonshire Edmund Francis Dayrell, Esq., Lilllngstone Dayrell, Bucks, High The Bill for making a railway iiiTnitPlymouth to Falmouth, and the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par liament, and the projected South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the margin of the Southern Channel, the groat area of Devonshire west of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, arc now desti tute of railway accomm dation. The object of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin sula ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved In the circuitous route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens able feature of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual, and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As far as Exeter, that project is already in the hands of the." London and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction," and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. 4 was this ,Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the Henke of Lords, .in the Wilts and Somerset Hallway Bill, in the present session, obliged the Great Water/3 :Raft ^s - • rom^anz' to plOit4l- t 1 :1, 1 ', 4 " 43 ." -- "' '- oppose ; and tney efieax thsnina which the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." (Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway, from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance. Thee saying in actual distance thus effected, between London and Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions, amounts •to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze to say nothing of all other difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty miles more. _ _ _ _ Sheriff of Bucks Charles John Baillie Hamilton, 'Esq., M.P., Thame Park, Oxfordshire Rico Richard Clayton, Esq., M.P., Iledgerley Park, Bucks John Deering, Esq., The Lee, Bucks George Morgan, Esq„ Biddlesden Park, Bucks Robert Bullock 3larsham, Esq., L.L.D., Carersfleld Hottse, Ox- fordshire liValter Henry Bracebridge, Esq., liorrille House, Warwickshire and Chetwode Priory, Bucks John Barnes, Esq., Cliorley Wood, Hefts William Osmond Hammond, Esq., St. Alban's-eourt, Wingham, Kent Benjamin Price, Esq., Westbury, Bucks Colonel John Hall, Life Guards' Barracks, Hyde Park, London John Newman, Esq., Brand's House, Hughenden, Bucks Thomas Newland Allen, Esq., The Vache, Chalfont, Bucks Henry William Beauclerk, Esq.

Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to tke Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated. The central district from Exeter, westward, has been rocently re surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth, Ciunbome, Hayle, (with a branch to SL Ives,) Marazion, and Pen zance.

Rose and Messrs. Tindal, Aylesbury Messrs. Hearn and Nelson, and Mr. Henry Smith, Backlugluim The object of this undertaking is to supply railway commanication to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also With the Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as welt as with Oxford and the South. The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham pailw eeayd , Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will roc up near the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury. In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed, the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to mate a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton. The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway Company (for the construction of a llne from Wolverton to Bicestec) is amalgamated with this Company. Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty of importance presents itself. The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of land through or near whose property it is intended to pass. It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation, and under the direction and superintendence of the London and Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profits. It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London, Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception of such as may be required for parties hexing local interests. BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIR MINGHAM RAILWAY.

In consequence of the numerous representations made to this Com pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from Salisbury to Poole, through Wimborne, the Committee, in compliance with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this important object. The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Downtou and by Fordingbridge, will proceed on to Wimborne Minster, and there joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, will com plete the direct communication to Poole. A survey of the country has been made, and the Committee are enabled to state that the report of the engineers is highly satisfactory, The minute and careful estimates of the traffic which have al ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital necessary for the undertaking; and as the line will be constructed and worked under the management of the Committee of this Com pany, a material saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected. The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 250,0001., which will be divided into 10,000 shares of 25/. each.

The whole of the traffic upon the South 'Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this lino ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic ttom the Forest of Dean (which, from the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic may safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone). must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and a n ex t e nded trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by the proposed railroad. - The revenue fiom this source alone will give a very handsome di• vidond upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital, It is proposed to make branches to the Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Porta which may suggest themselves on the Severn; and to make the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands in that river. _ _ _ It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwlth Company will no doubt be ready to joie this Company in the expense, if' they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and ' the Severn, is not expected to exceed 45 0,0001., but it is intended to provide a capital of 600,00 01 . to meet any contingencies which play arise.

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth traffic to London round by Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be most Inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has upon Yarmouth are confined to the communication with Norwich and the western and north-western districts. A very large traffic exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Harlestone, and Dies ; and also between all those important towns and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To 'lmply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar mouth Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles. It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near to Yarmouth-bridge as practietble. The line will communicate with the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex pense. This railway will run to the own of Beccles, thence to Bun gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Diss, commu nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms ford, and London. At Diss the railway will be within three miles of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad vantageously constructed. In its course to Beccles it will cross the Lowestoft and /teedham line, and will afford the shortest communi cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very largo portion of the barley is malted at Ilarlestone, Halesworth, Bungay, and Beccles, and supplied to'the large London brewers. The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any port in the kingdom, the average being yearly 435,690 quarters. 70,000 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district. There are 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of 50,375, belonging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter that port. Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and 200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex ceeds half a million of money. In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c., the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap and good fish, it may confidently be expected that the immediate and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the metropolis. An immense quantity of live stock is sent from - the district of this railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made, must pass upon it. Yarmouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected, to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and many others of a first class are now in course of building. The traffic on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to produce, independently of the fish carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0 To this add for fish traffic from Lowestoft, according to the present quantity supplied to the London market, calculated at a low rate ..... ••••.. • . • And for fish traffic front Yarmouth, according to the same data ............ ..... 9,500 0 0 3,727 0 0 • Making L52,710 0 0 Deduct 40 per cent. for working expenses• 21,084 0 0 Leaving a net revenue of. •••• • • • ...... £31,626 0 0 which upon the capital of 400,0001, will make a return of eight per cent.

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

It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Mina, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to lay down such lines on the coast•of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to .Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the war suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water power, so that there will bo an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated that the cost of , this lbw ,wlll not eqcceed 50,0001. ; and, when it is con sidered that it will command the whole traffic Of passengers, and Peruonveya of goods between the chief port and the capital of , it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no Ihrther portion of the capital will be called for than may be sufficient to construct that line. LAPPhOatiouS for Shares with refkrence to be made to the Sceretarn st orthe Compopy, 2To, Cdcl Jewri. This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu- lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as the constructing and working this line by a separate compat y would be productive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public, the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral portion of the main work under one and the same management. From Traro, eastward, the main line will pass several important mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China clay district to St. Austell, and its populous raining neighbourhood. It will also avail itself of the railways now in process of construction from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channe l ; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London. Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic with the well-known Delahole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by the Budo Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood of Launceston, will form the subject of most considerable transport into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east ward. Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica tion bet Amen those towns and Exeter. This branch being also accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter than the lately projected line across the liamoaze from Plymouth to Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an other branch from a point near Bodmin, through; Liskeard, to Ply mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed. Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be joined ftom the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn staple to Exeter, and about seven miles fhrther on by the Dartmouth, Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly companies a direct communication from north to south, from the Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at Exeter. The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect to objects of such importance. The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population, amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con sumption of Coal, Manure, Mining and general supplies,—were fully gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably be expected from a well-digested system of Branches : and when the further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is t:.ken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular form of the county of Cornwall. this line, when established, can have no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital. The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public meetings and petitions Iron'.every part of the county of Cornwall and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants, Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence Companies,w d h ou os b e t n o a f m th e e s will ,atpupdecuor-foupetrhaetiporon Provisional no Com cessful issue of the application which will be made to Parliame nt in the next session.

The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making such alterations in the Main Line, or Branches, and also of entering into such arrangements for the construction of those Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable.

Colombine, Esq., 8, Cailton Chambers, Regent-street The object of this Company is to establish a railway trent London to Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns hitherto deprived of that great improvement of the age. The most important feature, however, of this undertaking will be, that it will establish an uninterrupted, direct, and speedy communi cation between the metropolis and our largest maritime ports -Ply mouth and Falmouth-and thus form an immediate transit to the ex treme part of the west of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this facility will be of the utmost importance, and, if war should unfortunately arise, the advantages of such a line are evident. The Committee feel the importance of the duty Imposed upon them, and rely with confidence on the success of the undertaking, possess ing, as it does, the stongest claims for support, whether as a perma nent and judicious inveg.ment of capital, or as a great national un dertaking. It is not Intent:o to comment on the various railway schemes partially affecting the Jine the Commititee propose should be adopted, further than to observe, that none of theta have been based upon a sufficiently comprehensiVe view to afford " a direct organic communication" with the inetropOs ; and it Is apparent that an entire line, under the management of one Company, is far Preferable to any other COMMunication now Arai:Ale or projected. indepcnoent ant turect-iniercooise- oesvia..-.+.eek. , a ,, ,g not only on 1 and the various important towns upon it, but will effect a a: 1110 g 0 thirty miles and upwards in the circuitous and expensive rou:0 by Bristol. The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to this pro ject,-that the tendency of the improvements which are almost daily introduced, was decidedly in favour of the shortest and most direct lines ; and it is deserving of remark, that when the Wilts and Somer set Railway Bill (which has lately received Ilse Royal sanction) was before Parliament, its projectors were required to pledge themselves that they should not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to direct communications, and the London and York having obtained the sanction of the House of Commons to their Bill, after a prolonged opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways. It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the Great Western and the South Western as far as Kingsclere,-though it will not in any way interfere with those lines,-and is the course actually suggested by the Board of Trade, in its 4th report, sec. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line -stating that there is nothing In the present settlement of existing railways to prevent a shorter or competing line to Exeter, being brought forward. The Direct London and Exeter Company intend to form their ter minus in the most central part of London which cats be obtained. It will be in the immediate vicinity of Sloane-street and Knightsbridge. It is also intended that this Company shall join the railway pro jected to cross the Thames, and thus effect an immediate connexion with a central terminus at Hungeriord-bridge. From the London terminus the line will branch off to or near Hammersmith, Turnham Green, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Ilinflehl, Wokingham, Kingsclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne, Yeovil, Crewkernc, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbourne, Blandfori, Dorchester, Brldport, Axminster), and Honiton, to Exeter. Tile line chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Romans ; and as they, whenever practicable, adopted the straight line, the Com mittee intend, as nearly as possible, following their example. This road was also the old snail-coach line, until the circuitous course of the Great Western, in the infancy of railway travelling, diverted the traffic from it. The line of this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob served; and it is proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re presented that that mode of immediate communication with the metropolis, will be most congenial to the wishes of the inhabitants of that town and its vicinity. The Committee are therefore desirous of accomplishing that object, and invite the immediate and active co-operation of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this part of their scheme especially. To the Sporting world also, this undertaking offers a desideratum. which has long been felt; it is calculated the number of persons an nually visiting Ascot and Egham Races exceeds Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand. This line will pass in the immediate vicinity of these race-courses; and near Ascot a handsome and commodious station will be erected for the accommodation of the public. It is proposed that the present Company should convey a variety of heavy goods, iron, coals, &c., from place to place, for which se parate trains *Will be unwillingness and in consequence of the great com plaints made, and the shown by other companies, ant the necessity there is for the adoption of some measures for further security against accidents, which have become so prevalent, intend to have luggage vans before and at the end of each train, and no engine behind for propelling, under any pretence whatever. The traffic tables which are now in course of preparation will when completed, be published, but from the official returns, and other sources which have come within tile Committee's cognizance, a very ample interest for the capital necessary for this undertaking is shown, and as the traffic from the great accommodation railway will afford to every descri p tion of property in the t through which it will pass, will be greatly increased, so also will be the financial returns. The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and Falmouth Line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses for this extension will be published as soon as the plans and surveys are matured, and in the allotment of shares for this part of the line, preference will he given to the original holders of shares in the ' " Direct London and Exeter Company," and the landowners on the Falmouth Line. The entire line has been partially surveyed, and the essential benefit arising, from avoiding the Elbow of Bristol been ascertained beyond a doubt. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be ready within the time prescribed by the standing orders of Parlia ment, and application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next Sessicn. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum, after passing the Act, on the amount of the subscriptions paid up, and that no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his de posit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. In case Parliament should not sanction the present undertaking, which every active means will be taken to secure, the money de posited, deducting the necessary expenses attending the projection, will be returned to the Shareholders. The Committee have been in communication with many influential landowners on the line, from whom promises of support have been obtained, and earnestly invite the co-operation and assistance of all parties holding property upon it, desirous of furthering the object in view, whose names, it is requested, may be communicated to the Committee, or to the Solicitor to the Company, forthwith.
