J
RAILWAY.

At a numerous and highly respectable public MEETING of the
inhabitants of the Borough of Truro, held at the Town-hall, on
Monday, the 28th of October, 1844,

NICHOLAS F. BASSI:I7, Esq., the Mayor, in the chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously passed
That ihis meeting is convinced of the perfect practicability of
the Central Line of Railway through Cornwall and Devon, and of
its great superiority over the proposed Coast Line from Plymouth
to Falmouth, both in a national and local point of view.
That a railway with a single line, interrupted by "the very
doubtful passage across the Hamoazo," is wholly unfitted to the
wants and requirements of this county.
That the following memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of
the Central Line be adopted by this meeting, arid that the Mayor
sign the same on behalf of the meeting; and that
h
this Borough be requested to present the same
ttboeerte Members
Boardhgeuestedto
foofr Trade, and to give their strenuous support to
the prayer of the memorial; and that a petition to. the House of
Commons in favour of the Central Line, assimilated to the memorial,
be prepared and taken from house to house for signatUre, and that
the Members for the borough be requested to present the same at
the proper time, and to support it in the House of Commons.

To the Honourable the Commissioners of the Railway Depart.

ment of the Board of Trade.

My Lord and Gentlemen,—Your memorialists, the inhabitants
of the borough of Truro, in the county of Cornwall, in public meet-
ing assembled, in the Town-hall, on the 28th day of October, 1844,
respectfully show forth to your Hon. Board—

" That it has been proposed to construct a line of railway from
Plymouth to Falmouth, passing along the southern district of this
county, and arriving at Plymouth by a passage across the Hamoize
from Torpoi nt.

" That it has also been proposed to construct a line of Railway
frem Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance. passing through the centre
of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, at about an equal distance
from either sea coast.

" That by the Central Line the distance of twenty miles would
be saved between Exeter and Falmouth,
no engineering obstacle
exists on the line, the land is of comparatively little value, the
central highlands of both counties are much less broken or in.
tersected by deep valleys than where the sea coast is approached,
as on the proposed Southern line ; the cost of construction
will be moderate, and owing to the superiority of the
gradients the working expenses will be proportionably less
than on the proposed Southern Line; the prospects of traffic
accruing from the population of both counties, northward and
southward of the line, are much greater than by a Southern
line, as the Central line would accommodate in Cornwall alone,
out of a population of 341,000, about 325,000 in a greater degree
than the proposed South line; whereas, if the latter line were
adopted, 16,000 only would be accommodated in a greater degree
than by the Central line) and in regard to Devon, the benefit
of the Central line would be extended to a population of 60,000,
within six miles on each side of that line.
" Another advantage which would result not only to Govern-
ment but to the commercial community, by the adoption of the
Central line, would be its adaptation to the e'ectro.telegraph,
which might be made the medium of instant communication be.
tween the port of Falmouth and the metropolis.
" That the Central line is proposed to be a double line, and
to be worked by locomotive engines; whereas the Southern
line is to be a: single line, and to be constructed on the at.
mospheric principle.
" Wherefore your memorialists pray your Honourable Board
to report in favour of the Central Line of Railway from Exeter
to Falmouth and Penzance, whenever the competing lines shall be
presented to your consideration,"
That this Meeting will support the Central line by every means
in its power, and earnestly solicits the Members for the county of
Cornwall, and for this borough, to place their names on the Pro.
visional Committee, and to give the Central Line their undivided
support in Parliament and elsewhere.
Edmund Turner, Esq., Kr., stated his determination to sup.
port the Central line by every means in his power, and requested
his name to be placed on the Provisional Committee.

CORNWALL AND DEVON CENTRAL

RAILWAY.
Exeter, Nov. 2, 1844.—At a public MEETING of the inha.
bitants of this city and neighbourhood, held this day, in compliance
with a requisition most numerously and respectaLly signed,
The Right Worshipful the MAYOR in the chair,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
That the city of Exeter and its neighbourhood, from its popula.
tion and geographical position, is entitled to the advantages of the
railway systten on a more extended scale than it at present enjoys ;
and that this meeting considers that the construction of a direct
line of railway from London through Yeovil to Exeter, and its con.
tinuation through the centre of Devon and Cornwall to Falmouth,
would be an undertaking of great national importance, and highW
advantageous to this city, and especially entitled to the support of
all who feel interested in its prosperity.
That this Meeting regards most favourably the construction of a
railway to Barnstaple, through Crediton, which will open a corn.
munication between the North of Devon and the various lines of
railway which may be concentrated at Exeter.
That this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to promote
and carry out the objects e the foregoing resolutions.
