The merits of a lino to the Land's End as an investment for ca pital, it was not left, to the present Company to discover. The Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached Exeter, It has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by railway. 'rho object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the resent can ultimately satisfy the exigeiScies of the cou ntry i n regard fa this, its most Important eutport, —o the *na tural Packet St at i on of the empire." 'The present project is distinguished by this---that it is direct. it is as nearly as possible a straight line front London to the Lane's F.nd. The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having arnaiga nutted with this Company, the immense local influence cmanded by them will now contribute to the great national object or a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffle and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company.

An ample return of profit to tha Investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise froaa the following sources, amongst others:— From the conveyance of passenger; 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly daring the period of the large Barnet fairs. 31.

This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and p ass i ng t h roug h Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ittikc falling late the SoUth-Western Railway at Basing- Tin; third longitudinal line, er the most westerly, is still more de fective In design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly In a right line the least populous and most undulating parts of Gloucester, Writs, Wilts, and Hants ; an d, p ro p erl y s peaking , has no ind e p en d ent term i nus. A largo longit u di na l sect i on o f the kingdom—the West Midland district--a district inviting a similar species of ac c om mo dation from concentrated local advantages, still remains unpro v i d e d w ith a chief trunk line ; and It is contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the ptestint Undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. Adopting Birmingham as a northern t er minus of the West Mid land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton, Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklaile, and Swindon, where it will merge in. the. South and Midlands' Junction Railway. The length of the proposed line will be about sixty miles, and the district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. At its soutlieni terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with tha South and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of We y mouth, Christ church, Poo l e, iningliam, it communi ca t e s with a series of lines , projec t e d, i n pro grass, or completed, whi c h will form the most direct l in e th at can ever be constructed between the southern ports of En g land and the and Southampton. At its n orthern terminus, Mr great manufacturing districts. In the alliance of Thiel fanning the Weet Midlandi Maxcheater and Southampton Iteilway project, a combination of advantages pre sents Itself—the result of a design , to a great extent, but of contin gencies also. If it be desirab.e that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re spect the present project Is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of Eng Lind from Salisbury to - • Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than GO miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished--a line, also, however superior in po4tion to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton.

Ily tile dOtlattiletititi of this railway, railway communication to London Will be given to Peterborough anti Leicester (by means of the SYsloti and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo rotigh (V the Sheffield and Gaittsborough line), by a much shorter route titan by any exhiting . Independently of the advantages ofitred to the towns in the several counties through which this Line will pass, the Bills Iri Itself consi dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, IS stillieVent to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing trafild between these two places would produce such a return on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica- _ ..... -- don from Glasgow and , the Western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as well as Durham and Newcaatle (by the York and North Midland, and Great Northof England Railways), with the Metropolis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other Company, and when cost' of construction is considered, there Cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment anti trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take place, is a most Important fea .ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the main trunk line, through which all goods from the whole of the manufacturing dis tricts could he conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and an invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the works *ill be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and that it will not materially Interfere with any ornamental property. The Subsctibers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits until an Act of Parliament Is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allot/ interest at 4 per tent. per annum on all calls until•the opening of the line, and a so to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

The country through which it Will pass, is thickly populated, and of the richest description. It presents no engineering diftietutles,,and from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it possesses sources of mush abundant traffic as to render it highly re munerative to the capitalists. The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions lof the Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this Will 19ti effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch ing, as it will, sit MO of its termini, a railway running direct from Swansea to WorceStes, and at the other, the projected line from Rugby to Huntingdon —ffoin which point a railway communication has been already provided. By means of this Railway, the mstrittfactures of all the towns, and the agricultural produce of the country colitained within its range, as well as the Ports on the Eastern and Nortfi.Eastern Coast, will have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. • To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and Northern portions of he kingdom, this undertaking will present' the most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort— Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Win wick, it will open the most direct communication with . the city of Worcester and Sonth Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions °tithe country. The Shareholders in the several railways pioposed to be joined or intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking, No,person . will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amoant of their subscription.

As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the • Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Laud's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make It manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland distri,t, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance In the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom ; It may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of miunteo." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Groat Western Railway Conipany, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct rii - `'to Falmouth ; and It may be further observed,. that a proposed, li t ,,,ont Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the; ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great naConal object. The survey of the line has 'ken to a great extent completed, and correct estimated of the expenditure and rz.turns are in a state of for wardness, and tae whole will be ready,for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the kingdom. Powers will be taken hi the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Great WeAtern, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.
