EXETER, YEOVIL, AA)) DORCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Five-and-a-half per_cent. guaranteed by the London and South

Western Railway Company.
An advertisement having been published in the newspapers by par-
ties interested for a rival company, falsely assuming that this scheme
will not be carried out, and inviting the scrip-holders to co-operate
with them " in order to wind up the Company."
The Committee of Management of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Railway think it their duty to caution the scripholders
against any such specious and delusive proceedings.
There is not a railway Bill before Parliament whose prospects are
more sound and cheering than that of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Company ; the Shareholders have a positive guarantee of
five-and-a-half per cant. from the South-Western Railway Com-
pany in perpetuity, thus ensuring a profitable and certain return to
the Shareholders. It is a measure of the highest national import-
ance, as effecting the best and most direct route between London and
Exeter, as well as between Dover, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Fal-
mouth ; and is highly appreciated by the populous and agricultural
districts through which it will pass.
The Bill has already passed the Standing Orders' Committee, has
been read a second time, and is appointed to be heard on its merits in
the week beginning on the 4th of May.
The Exeter and Exmouth Railway, being an extension of the
Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, and running for two miles over its
trunk, has already received the unanimous sanction of a Committee
of the House of Commons on the merits, the Committee, at the same
time making that sanction contingent on, and in anticipation of, the
success of the Exeter, Yeovil. and Dorchester Railway. Under these
auspicious circumstances, the Committee entertain the strongest con-
fidence of carrying this Bill triumphantly through Parliament.
The Committee of Management will take the earliest opportunity
of convening, by public advertisement, a meeting of scripholders, in
pursuance of the se&ional order of Parliament, when a copy of the
Bill will be submitted for their consideration and approval, with a
full statement of the affairs of the Company.
