ititt, bearing with peculiar pressure on every undertaking &Ten-
that,n the application of surplus capital, to be enabled to state
ttahll with the exception of such a

tire confidence in the ultimate distinguished success of thc

Petiott-rien:ed with its cheapness, its facilities, its security, and its

Ttnttii„lt will a„t° Seek a parallel in the other districts of the kding-
-11 ihto'ear remarkable that the coaches at this time ally
"I4t London, Bristol, and Exeter, considerably exceed

the entire number plying between London and Birmingham,
Liverpool, and Manchester, before the opening of the Grand
Junction Railroad. Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will
be seen by any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix ;
anti it is on this plain ground, together with the acknowledged
cheapness which natural facilities give to the construction of the
Bristol and Exeter line, that the directors feel justified in holding
out to the shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent.
on the outly before-mentioned to Bridgwater. To this it may be
added that it is the peculiar advantage of this line to open up new
sources of profit in its progress, at such short successive distances as
can rarely be presented by any similar undertaking. The comple-
tion of less than ten miles will enable the company, at an ample
profit not included in the present or any estimate, to bring the pro-
ducts of a vast coal-field into the city of Bristol, at a charge of one
shilling per ton : twelve additional miles, which bring the line
close to the mouth of the Ax, and the natural harbour at Uphill
will establish a line of communication betwixt the whole of the
South of Ireland (including, of course, the southern coast of
Wales), and Bristol, and London, of which the most sanguine can
scarcely calculate the advantages ; and eleven miles snore, by car-
rying the line to Bridgwater, will necessarily render it the medium
of intercourse between the Western Counties, and London, and the
North.

Although, as the subjoined accounts will shew, the outlay on
the works is becoming heavy, the directors expect that the balance
in hand, aided by the instalment now in coucse of receipt, will
prevent the necessity, for some months, of a further call on the
shareholders.

Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub-
ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole hue
would be simultaneously in operation—and, under the feeling that
all possible economy should be exercised—the directors have ear-
nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re-
duced several branehes of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a
moiety, of the compensation, so liberally voted for their services at
the first gelled! meeting. '
Carefully weighing, therefore, every consideration, whether of
a public or private nature, which relates to this undertaking, the
directors feel its vigorous prosecution to be their highest duty, and
with a steadfast determination to fulfil it, cheerfully appeal to the
confidence and support of all who are interested in its completion.
Signed, on behalf of the Board.
