PANY.
CA PITAL—I 00,0001.
In Shares a 1001. each.
- • •

If Itail-Roads are allowed to possess the means of the cheapest
and most expeditious conveyance, they will necessarily cause all
articles which pus upon them to be supplied at lower prices to the
co-Burner, with the same profit u heretofore to the grower and
manufacturer; and in proportion to the saving which will arise
from a cheaper internal communication, our manufacturers will be
enabled to compete successfully with foreigners in the various mar-
kets of the world.
la the present stage of the great undertaking above-mentioned,
it is not to be expected that all its advantages can be minutely de-
tailed, nor indeed is it necessary even if it were practicable; for
lixth. has been the general estimation of the plan, that without ap.
Pnleig to the Public fur subscriptions, the application for Shares
has already been larger than the whole contemplated expense will
rtquire.
It le, perhaps, sufficient at present to say of this extensive Rail-
Road, that a survey has been taken on • great part of the line,
which is highly favourable, there being seventy miles nearly on one
levd; that, when completed, it will, by a very cheap and rapid
conveyanee, connect Ireland and Wales with the Metropolis,
through the Port of Bristol, which is surrounded by rich manufac-
turing districts ; that it will pan through many collieries and •
tend, ccuttry, connecting itself in its progress with many large
:owns; and, finally, that the carriage of goods upon k will pro-
,
ab'.y he as great as :mon any other line of equal extent in Great
Britain.

At • MEETING of MERCHANTS and others Interested in
tarrying Into effect the proposed Rail. Road from London to Bris-
tol, held (by adjournment) at the London Tavern, on Monday,
the 27th of Heeernber._lB2.l,

THOMAS WILSON, Esq. M.P. in the Chair
The following Resolutions were entered into:-
1. That the establishment of a Rail-Road between London and

2. That a Company be formed for the purpose of making such
Rad• Road, with a capital of 1,030,0001., in Shares of lOGI. each.
3. That the following Gentlemen be appointed Directors, and
