Tarlstock —Messrs. Willesford Devonport—W. J. Little,. Esq. and Tucker Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at Bodmin, presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously resolved That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as of the public at large, absolutely require that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage, which, by the , combination of four powerful companies, is now, it may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall. The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being extended to Crediton, and from thence the North Devon Company intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon line, in the neighbourhood of Hatherleigh, thirty miles directly west from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth. The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will com mence near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length, and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place, proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by Launces' on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth ; and in order to pre serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to Plymouth, ad mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth. By means of this railway, and the North Devon, Credidto and Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Great Western Railways, there will be a direct and nub) oken line on the broad gauge ;from Falmouth through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches, with all the most important towns in that county and the North of Devon. It is also intended that the line shall be the best in engineer ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow, and that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central line, shall be avoided. This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present proposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway communica tion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en sure a continuous line tl'om Falmouth to London, until three other Independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their Bills • and these projected lines have also to contend against the op position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The NN est of England nelow Exeter, is obviously the country of the broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance, all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed for the further accommodation of the country by such influential companies. In order fully to comply with- the expressed wishes of the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication" so much required, the present line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England, can compete with the present line with any probability of success, presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local advantage,, and possessing all the elements essential to command the favourable consideration of Parliament. As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic over the lhie, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested. The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli cation will be crowned with success. The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 12s. fid. per share must be paid upon the allot ment. Power will be taken to pay interest on the deposit, and all calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Exeter and Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall Railways. _ Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addrsssed to the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town or country. 68.

The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication between the important town and port of Carmarthen, the northern parts of the county, and Cardiganshire, with the rich mineral dis tricts in the south and east of Carmarthenshire. The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, Car marthen and Cardigan, and Great North' and South Wales Railways at Carmarthen. It will be connected at the Great Mountain with the Llaneliy Railway already constructed to the Cross Hands, and a eranch will extend into the Gwendraeth Vale to the Colebrook ironworks, there joining the Ridwelly Canal. It will thus unite several important railways and other means of communication, and afford ready transit fir the supply of coal and lime to very extensive districts, the costs of conveying which will be less than: the toll pay able on the present roads. The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail way is at Carmarthen, and no provision is made by the promoters for any communication by it with the coal and lime fields. These pro ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, must first be brought to that town. The South Wales and Walsh Midland Railways describe a consider able circuit in communicating, even in an indirect manner, with the heart of the mineral districts. The distance from Carmarthen by each of these lines to the Great Mountain will be about twenty-five miles ; the distance by the line now proposed will not exceed twelve. It is therefore evident that the immense traffic in coal and lime between Carmarthen and the mineral districts must be carried on by the intended railway. The line will follow the Vale of Towy as far as Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the Mansell's Arms, to the coal districts. The branch into the Gwen draeth Vale will be two miles long, which, with the trunk line, will make the whole length to be constructed fourteen miles. In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, the pro posed line can meet with opposition from no other scheme, as the bold chain of hills running from east to west to the south of the Towy are quite impracticable at all other points between Llandilo and the sea, a distance of twenty-five miles. This line will follow the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking facilities for constructing a railway along it, as none of the gradients will exceed 1 in 100, and there will be no occasion for any tunnelling. The capital required will be 140,0001. Calculations nave been made of the tonnage carried along the pre sent roads, and an ample remuneration for the capital invested would be n se t c o ur so ed n e ti v t en iv w a i l t e h a, ou l t v i e n t e ah reas iv ed ku t a r n a d ffi c e. armarthen and Cardigan, and Great North and South Wales Railways radiate from Car marthen to the west, north, and east of the county; and the latter lines will open communication with the whole of Car diganshire. All these extensive districts are now mainly supplied with coal and lime from the vicinity of Carmarthen. The traffic in these staple commodities is at present very consider able: as many as 1,000 tons of lime have passed in one day through a single gate on one of the great thoroughfares into Carmarthen. With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, added to the large extent of country which will be opened by means of the lines alluded to, this traffic will be immensely increased. The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was held •at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential body of gentry, landowners, and merchants. Resolutions were then unani mously adopted approving of the scheme, pointing out its advantages to the country and its value as a safe Investment. Surveys of the line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradients were easy, and that the country was free from engineering difficulties. Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary aban donment of the undertaking ; these cannot again occur. A large body of influential persons have already signified their appro bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the authori ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the inte rests of the town and neighbourhood. The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on the pro posed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation have been obtained. .The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a careful survey of t effecting material improvements i n it s navigation It appea rs suf e fi the e r n i t v l y e r evident ee that,en engineer with etehreoofultiliagyh e s t an ding, with a view of comparatively small sum of money, Carmarthen may b e rendered a redee ara safe port, easily accessible to ships of very considerable tonnage, even at ne a p tides ; the great depth of water in Bl ac k P o ol at ebb tide ( 24 feet) sap plying all the requisites of a wet d oc k. By improving the river so as to avoid the intermediate shoals an d s inuosities, all difficulty to i ts free navigation will be removed, and with this facil it y a very large export trade will be insured in coal iron, an d other produce of the themselvesthe country. These improvements (since , the rospectus of this Company was first issued) have been undertaken by N ort to North and an o South ffeo Wales Railway Company, who have pledged . tual construction of the necessary works. Feelingly alive to the inte rests of the trade of the town and to the wishes of the corporation, the Committee of Management have gladly acce ded to this arrange ment, whereby the objects of all parties will be secured. To the promoters of this Company this result is highly satisfuetory, as by these means a considerable outlay of their funds will he avoided. Extensive ironworks are now in operation in the Gwcndraeth Vale, and others on a large scale are about to be erected in the Vale of Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several important collieries have been lately opened , an d are now ready to pour their teeming wealth into the market , but a want of commu nication with the distant districts of this a nd the adjoining counties prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The line now proposed, forming a junction at C armarthen with the great trunk lines, will afford the accommodation so much desired The gauge to be adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern standingPre Preparations e orderstienihna v t b e e t e o n a m p paldye for s o r a a s n t A o n t s i u n r e t e h o e m e p n l s i a u n i n c with e the . ment Commissioners.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu;. nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, It will be carried forward as far as Gainsborough., either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Cempany during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and ' from Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially shortened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the Important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwlck.shire and Staffordshire, a large traffic in thnber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gain.sborough, and the immense traffic froM Bir mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. ' _ . A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four tier cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. . _ No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certiti cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for- felted. Plans and prospectuses, With forms of applications for shares, may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. Wells, Westropp, and Prinsep, 75, Old Broad-street ; Mr. H. Pritchett, 1, Reyal Exchange-buildings ; Messrs. Hltchins and Harrison, 18, Threadneedle-street; and Messrs.

The many and importantcommercial advantages presented by a Junction line of railway between the north and south of Ireland, give the promoters of the projected line from Athlone to Sligo, with a brandb to Ballet s, the most unqualified confidence in its success. The proposed line, as regards both public interest and private speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro jected from Sligo to Dublin—first uniting with the Dublin and Galway at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to Ballina, thereby affording railway communication to the great fair and market towns in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo, and Sligo, and terminating at the important seaport and garrison town of Sligo, where it will also unite with the line to Enniskillen, and thus form a junction between the northern, southern, and western lines, opening a continuous and the most direct railway communication between the great commercial and manufacturing towns of the province of Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny, and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports in the south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the counties of Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon ; a line of railway to the metropolis. The Athlone and Sligo Junction will receive the full support of the Directors of the Great Sonthern and Western, and the Dublin and Galway Railway Companies. Forty miles of the Great Southern and Western Railway from Dublin to Portarlington are nearly completed, and will be opened to the public in June next. . . At this advanced period - of the year the difficulty of complying strictly with the standing orders of Parliament renders it advisable to undertake, in the first instance, but one division of the line, viz., that from Athlone to Roscommon, being a distance of twenty English miles ; for which purpose a capital of no more than 200,000/. will be required. The line from Athlone to Sligo is but seventy-two miles in length. It will pass through or near the towns of Knockeroghcry (at which the second largest sheep fair in Ireland is held), Athleagtze, Mount Talbot, Rathgar, Roscommon (one of the largest inland markets in Ireland), Lanesborough, Elphin, Croghan (celebrated fair town), Frenchpark, Boyle, Castlerea, Balla,ghadereen, Ballymote, Tabber corry, Colooney, Ballisodare, to Sligo. The preliminary surveys have been made, and the engineer, Sir John Macneill, reports very favourably upon the gradients and facilities of construction. Advantages so important as those referred to cannot fail of giving the greatest encouragement to a line of railway which must, from passenger traffic alone, return an ample per centage on the outlay of capital. It should also be borne in mind that the proposed junctloi line will not only give to the north of Ireland direct and immediate rail way communication with the south, east, and west, but will like wise open to the great manufacturing towns of Scotland similar ac commodation. Railways having the advantage of foreign traffic as an auxiliary, are always the most profitable—no projected line could be more op portunely circumstanced in that respect than the proposed Grand Junction, forming, as it will, a link between the northern and southern railways, it must, independently of local resources, have a constant stream of passenger traffic from the parent lines at either end, and eventually be found one of the most profitable, as well as the most useful, undertakings in Ireland. Few lines of railway are possessed of greater local advantages. Sligo, a considerable and rising seaport town on the N. W. coast at the one extreme, supplies the whole of the interior, as far as Athlone, with the products of the western world. Its fisheries and that of the neighbOuring coast are among the best in Ireland. The salmon fishery at Ballina, and the deep sea-fishing of Sligo and Inver Bays would alone yield considerable revenue. Athlone, at the other terminus, is a garrison town of the greatest importance, in the very centre of Ireland, from whence it must be an object to have railway communication with the garrisons of Boyle and Sligo ; there cannot therefore be a doubt of the lino obtaining the entire support of the Government. Roscommon is one of the most' fertile counties in Ireland ; it abounds in agricultural and mineral produce, and has a population of 253,591 inhabitants. Its great fairs are well known—their staple, the finest horses, horned cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the United King dom, will be conveyed by this line to the Dublin and English mar kets ; and while the farmers will thus have a ready and cheap means of transport for his stock to the best markets, he will, in like manner, be enabled to supply himself with young stock from the fairs of the south, east, and west. Large quantities of bacon are cured annually in the towns of Roscommon, Castlerea, Boyle, &c., and it only re quires the advantage .f railway communication to develop the many industrial resources of the county.

The numerous persons, with undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested to accept this reason as the Committee's apology. The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters, the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.
