,„,Since issuing the former prospectus, the Committee, being deter-
-.fled to proceed on the surest grounds, and anxious for the ultimate
Success of the undertaking, have made further and more minute in-
felin
es into the remunerative traffic to be expected on this line ; and 1
thaY are warranted in stating that, the result of such inquiries has
_greatly exceeded the expectations upon which they grounded their
former prospectus.
This line of railway, commencing at Bristol, will open a direct I
communication with Poole, passing through or near the important
towns and villages of Whitechureh. Pensford, Clutton,

Mallet, Bruton, Castle Cary, Wineanton, Stalbridge, u rater,

Marshall, WimborneMinster to Poole Harbour; and thus, by means
of the Line of Packets intended to be established by this Company,
from that port to the Channel Islands and Cherbourg, and the rail-
ways now in progress from the latter place to the French capital,
and trom thence to Lyons, will co nplete the line of communication
by the most direct way, from Edinburgh to the south of France, thus
enabling that country to supply herself with many articles of corn-
usa,_ rea at little more than half the cost she at present pays, and leav-
'"g,....a good remunerative profit to the Company and producer at home,
e following
ah-''anng the 'various sources of traffic to be expected on this line.
are the most prominent :—The supply of the Govern-
°lent With Coal from the Welch and Somersetshire Pita, by
iheans of the proposed line, for its different naval and steam
I.l..etiots thrcughout the world. The Somerset pits, which are 36 in
mintber, yield, at present, about 2,000 tons per diem, but are ca-
Pable of yielding a much larger quantitysupposing that 2,000
tons were carried by the railway, at Id. per ton a mile, a dis-
tance of 40 miles for 300 days in the year, which is even less
than the Company have every reason to expect, it would yield a
net return of 100,000/., or 10 per cent. upon the estimated capi-
tal ; deduct then 40 per cent. for working the line, wear and tear,
and there remains the sum of 60,0007-• or 6 per cent, per

More than 100,000), ant of France,
with the best species of
coal for the production of gas, as well as for the use of their
Manufactures and for domestic purposes. This article, by Means
of the various coal pits situated on the line, will yield to the
Company a very one remunerative profit, and be of the greatest be-
nefit to the coal proprietor; as the coal necessary for the purposes of
gas can be obtained in very large quantities, and delivered at Cher-
bourg at one-third less than they are now giving for the same coal,
and which cannot, therefore, fail to be of equal benefit to the mer-
chant abroad, the producer at home, and the proposed Company.
Besides these two great sources of coal traffic, there is the supply of
the southern coast, and the different districts on the line, with coal
for domestic use, at a saving of from six to seven shillings a ton.
This is a circumstance that cannot fail to secure to the Company the
entire traffic, and be of the greatest benefit to themselves and the
public in general. In addition to this, the line will offer to the great
manufacturing city of Bristol a mere ready market for all those
articles of commerce of which France and the Channel Islands stand
so much in need, and which are manufactured in great quantities at
that city, and as aeon as the line is completed, tenders will at once
be submitted to Government for the more speedy transmission of the
mills to the Channel Islands, by which a saving of more than
twelve hours will no effected, and to the North and North-west of
Great Britain a saving of twenty-four hours.
There is also very considerable traffic to be derived from the
various atone quarries, iron mines, and clay pits on the line (the
:Lay pita alone yielding more than 50,000 tons annually) ; sand from
m
_. e Isle of Wight, for the manufacture of glass, of which more
an 10,000 tons annually are used in Birmingham alone; the pre-
sent mercantile traffic which now goes meal the Land's End to
rgine Western Ports ; the great agricaltural, manufacture, and pu-
er traffic from the rich and populous districts through which
e line passes ; and the traffic which must be thrown upon the line
from_ the Welch iron and coal masters, as being the nearest and most
direct outlet to the Continent for the produce of that country. In-
dependent of remuneration, this line ought to be looked upon as a
great national undertaking and benefit, as it will do away with the
necessity for vessels now employed in the Dutch, Danish, Swedish,
pundand Russian trades, bound to the western parts of England, going
rthe Land's End, by at once opening to them the of

shipowner and the merchant be greatly benefited, but the
Company would derive au immense annual revenue from. the
cargoes of northern preduce thus landedatPoole, to be again dist ri-
hated, by means of their railway, to the differentger manufacturing towns
throughout this country ; and the t traffic that would natu-
rally follow so large a portion of mercan raffle cannot fail to
yield to the Company a very handsome return upon their outlay.
The average number of vessels detained in this trade in oing I
round the Land's End amounts, from the most authentic sourcges to
about four thousand, each vessel averaging a detention tons`e daPs.
The average tonnage of these vessels amounts to 130 , Which
