la again REPORT.
submitting to the proprietors a concise but correct ac-
eaant of the Company's position, it is satisfactory to the directors,
sifter the lase of several months of aggravated commercial diffi-
ritY, bearing with peculiar pressure on every undertaking depen-
trit on the application of surplus capital, to be enabled to state
ht...lat, with the exception of such a retarded payment of the last tin-
as is necessarily consequent on the period, they have not
that
fact to communicate which can otherwise than strengthen
1, entire confidence in the ultimate distinguished success of the
-"rislol and Exeter Railway, hitherto entertained by all who are
"tluainted with its cheapness, its facilities, its security, and its
t"ourees.
lhe particnlar facts establishing these advantages have been so
fully demonstrated in their two, former reports that the directors
ref'Ala from repeating them ; merely remarking on the additional
rue they derive from the defeat and abandonment, during the last
ti.'ssi°,l of Parliament, of every competing line betwixt London and
: Western Counties, and a moral certainty, arising both from phy-
hi"l impediments and the new requirements of the Legislature, that
the!.introduction of any other is effectually precluded.
Since the last report two additional contracts, extending to the
Rh road to Bridgewater, in the village of Lympsham, have been
ti:tered into on terms advantageous to the Company, arising from
e,ea,asy nature of the ground.
'c greater portion of the land is purchased on the 11 miles
L'°°lprised in the two first contracts ; and the contractor is availing
"'fuel( of the favourable state of the weather to utpedite the pro-
Vess of the works.
pl„Aware,, however, of the large amount of capital at present ern-
oh-tY°,a On the numerous and extensive railroads in progress through-
.t.ne kingdom, and desirous of giving the greatest effect to the
svaliable means of the Company, by not operating on too large a
;'face at a time, the directors—though fully determined to corn-
rte the line to Exeter--have resolved to finish and open such por-
-I°,is of it, commencing with Bristol, as will enable them to secure
lil' actual remuneration on the capital expended on its progress to
etton and Uphill in the first instance, Bridgwater in the second,
and Taunton in the third, so that investment and return may, in a
degree, keep pace with each other. They purpose, therefore,
`u limit the seope of this report chiefly to an exposition of such cir-
eurnstances as will best enable the proprietors to form a correct
°Pillion of the required outlay and ascertainable proceeds on these
Partiens of their expenditure.
t; eTe etimates of tir enineer, whch have been hitherto so a-
tw's'_avh.t.os he
.rily borne out by the
contracts lentored into for upwards of
s'-thirds of the distance to Bridgwater, and by the actual cost of
land already.purchased, warrant the directors in assuming that the
Opening the line to that port, including the stations, loco-
otive engines, and every other expense, will, at the outside, not
ex?od thirty-five pounds per share.
in stating the dividend to be reasonably anticiputed &can this ex-
tenditure, they are so fully sensible of the extent of prejudice they
jaateve to encounter, arising less from the misrepresentations of the
are rested, than from the inconsiderate assumptions of a few who
,rie,Tlacquainted with the facts of the question, and the credence
aired
by the many to assertions to which they have never exa-
*lTV the proof, that the directors would feel the declaration of
nt thitself to be unavailing, unless supported by that species and
of evidence which they well know must remain unshaken by
TEverest scrutiny.
to t,fleY subjoin, therefore, as an appendix, an corrected
coue present time, of the traffic, proved before the Parliamentary
tratleir,ruttee
such under the investigation of adverse counsel, and
.4 references as can leave little room for disubt in
al. ecessible to the influence of testimony. To those who,
have by the celebrity which our great manufacturing towns
the Obtained from the magnitude and productions, rather than
th2_ravelling wants and habits of their population, conclude that
it 7,,Wonst of necessity create an extent of intercourse, for which
1.10411;i
willibeain to seek a parallel in the other districts of the king-
-44 appear remarkable that the coaches at this time daily
the ngt.hetwixt London, Bristol, and Exeter, considerably exceed
Liver n ire number plying between London and Birmingham,
Je,etPool, and Manchester, before the opening of the Grand
e b t°n Railroad. Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will
and it any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix ;
tich_.aphosa`a p
tychis lain roun, together ith the acknowleded
in natural facildities give to w
the construction of g
the

'4l the ° shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent.
