SOLICITOR-1). E. Colombine; Esq., 8, Carlton Chambers, Regent-stree
The object of this Company is to establish a railway from London to
Exeter direct, through Salisbury and other considerable towns, hither-
to deprived of that great improvement of the age.— The most impor-
tant feature, however, of this undertaking witi be, that it will establish
an uninterrupted, direct, and s‘weedy communication between the
lortrest maritime ports—Plymouth nod Falmouth,
and thus form an immediate transit to the extreme part of the nv.,4
of England. To the shipping interest, both at home and abroad, this
facility will be of the utmost importance, and if war should unfortu-
nately arise, the advantages of such line are evident.
The Committee feel the importance of the duty imposed upon
them, and rely with confidence on the success of the undertaking,
possessing, as it does, the strongest claims for support, whether as a
permanent and judicious investment of capital, or as.a.great national
undertaking. It is not intended to comment on the various railway
schemes partially affecting the line the Committee propose should be
adopted, further than to observe, that none of them have been based
upon a sufficiently comprehensive view .to afford " a direct organic
communication" with the metropolis : and it is apparent that an en-
tire line, under the management of. one Company, is far preferable
to any other communication now available or projected.. This line of
railway is offered to the public as affording not only an independent
and direct intercourse between the metropolis, Exeter, and the Va-
rious importapt towns upon it, but will effect a saving .of thirty miles
and upwards, in.the circuitous and. expensive route by. Bristol...-
The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is ,particularly applicable to this
project—that the tendenc);• of the improvements which are almost
daily intncluced, wai'decideilly in favour of the shortest and most
direct lint s ; and it is deSgi.ving of remark, that when the -Wiltb and
Somerset Itallway•BlI1 (which has lately
received the royal sanction)
was before Parliament, its.projcefiiio were required to pledge them-
selves that they should not offer hereitfarsany impediment to a direct
line to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now
proposed, thereby proving the importance 'Witchedproposed, by Parliament to
direct communications, and the London and York having_ obtained
the consent of (he House of Commons to-their Bill, after a prolonged
opposition, Eho Am the weight attached to direct independent railways.
It is proposed that this railway shall tape its course between: the
Great Western and the South-Western, as far as Kingselere—though-
it will not in any way interfere with those lines —and is the...coUrse.
actually suggested by the Board of Trade in its Fourth Report,.
sec. 42, by which an opening was made in this very line, stating that
there is nothing in the present' settlement of existing railways to
prevent a shorter or competing
line to Exeter being brought forward.
The Direct London and Exeter Company intend to form jhvir ter-

The lille of Railway proposed between Uttdxeter and Dudley has
been undertaken at the suggestion of several influential parties, as
cor.inining (without being a competing line with any railway at pre-
Sent made) all the advantages of several projected lines, with addi-
tions of no ordinary value. The town of Uttoxeter, in the Dove Val-
ley, is itself the centre of a rich agricultural district, supplying, al-
ready the markets of Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bilston, and Wednes-
bury, with cheese, cattle, and agricultural produce, but by a very
expensive and dilatory mode of transit. All the proposed lines
communicating with Manchester, London, and the Potteries,
must necessarily pass to or near Uttoxeter. Already the Chur-
net Valley, Derby and Stafford, Derby and Crewe, Teen,
and Dove Valley, North Staffordshire, Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent, Leicester and Ashby lines of railway, project a station at
Uttoxeter. Assuming either of these former, or some equivalent, to
pass this will be the best route from Manchester, Macclesfield, the
Potteries, Hun, Sheffield, and the north to the mineral districts of
South Staffordshire, and to Kiddelminster, Worcester, and South
Wales. By the Leicester and Ashby line, which will communicate
by its branch to Uttoxeter, traffic of great part of the east of
England will be available for Staffordshire and the west.
Commencing at Uttoxeter, the line will be. carried over
favourable ground to Abbott's Bromley, thence to Rugeley, where
it will fall into the Trent Valley Railway Station, by Channock
Chase, along the Rising Brok Valley, to Hednesford, and thence by
Walsall across the Grand Junction Railway, through Wednesbury
and the mineral districts of South Staffordshire to Dudley ; there it
will join all those railways that will connect the Staffordshire Coal-
field with Worcester, Ludlow, and Porthdynllaen on the south-west,
Aberystwith, Merthyr Tydvil, Swansea, Hereford, on the west and
south. In fact, it will unite by the nearest route the east:and west
of England.
The line will fall into and cross the Trent Valley, Midlands, and
Grand Junction Railway at Walsall, and from Cannock afford direct
communication with Wolverhampton (where it will run into the
broad gauge railway) from Leeds, and Huddersfield, and the north
and east of England.
The population on the line exceeds 300,000, and the ordinary traffic
arising from internal sources alone is sufficient to maintain the rail-
way, and afford more than ample remuneration to the shareholders.
As a junction line (with the present immensely increasing public
favour to railway travelling) it is scarcely possible to compute the
'amOiint of passenger traffic, but it must necessarily be very great.
:Sftiee, this line was registered, a company has been formed for ex-
:fending it by a junction at Uttoxeter, to Huddersfield, Leeds, and
• Shelitekl; by. way.Of Ashbourn, and by this means immense mines of
lead;-trOn, state, and coal of Derbyshire, the products of the paint
mafrufactories and barytes works at Ashbonme, Cromford, &c., will
be otiet)ed, and wirhAltose already in work, find a ready transit to
Walsall and .liirmlligham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton. The in-
crease of
.passOngers, attracted by ready means of conveyance to the
romantre&aintry alibi-Wale, and' the High Peak, will be necessarily

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoicter (the terminus of the pEoposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It-will fora a direct com-
munication between two of the most importmt manufacturing and
mining districts in Englandoiz., South Staffordshire and Sheffield,
and Rotherham in Yorkshire; the South' Staffordshire
nd portion in-
cluding Dudley, Tipton, Walsall, Bliston, IVedtsbitry, Wolver-

very great. - • ' • • •
:ale copper,. ore, lime, and coal,- abounding in the Caldon and the
Ribdett mines, will .lie transmitted by this line to the manufacturing
diStriat's of Staffordshire, WarwiCkshite; and South Wales, and it will
afford a direct communication, between Leeds, Huddersfield, and
Southampton, and it will also be the nearest route to Southampton
from Manthestpr, via Uttoxeter, by the London and Manchester
Direct Independent Line; or. whatever railway should ultimately
pass between Manchester and London, as forming the shortest route
to the metropolis, a line which, it is now admitted on all hands, must
be carried.
This Company reserves the right to raise additional capital to com-
plete the line from Dudley to or near the Droitwich station, on the
Birmingham and Gloucestef Railway.

This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of YeAshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, -Cheltenham, Gkiucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon,: Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Lianelly, Caermarthen, Milford-Haven,
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynliaen„,the future outport• for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxetef and Caldon Canal
PLO
point near Prestwood, In case the canal he-purchased by the
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through .Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedle;-Buxfori, and•Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Hohnflrth to Ihtddersfield, where it will
join tee Hudderstield• and Leeds Rail Way- and so to Thirsk. - It will
open new mines, in addition to those already. in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and Inagnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above-mentioned. -
Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This compaity-r6serves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leetis.
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshite and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is mucirsuperick to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron.(ls cwt. of thefornter being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a better. quality Of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Caldon Mines having. to go by, canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the potteries, to ..the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Workswotth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The
ironstone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very
scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same
scarcity exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line
would furnish a good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north tuasouth. In addition ..toasikeire-great advan-
tages, a good local market would-be opened along the agricultural
and other parts,of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, arid by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next.to impossible to calculate 'the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway. " • "- -
The calculations which have been made show a:very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the,line tzlfich only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring diet-I-into full work.
The-coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line.
.The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists; And ritrtiettlar care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not tfrititerfere,with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford 'Mist 'necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business slid pletfsure.
Ironstone is not so -abundant in the So?thl as in North Stafford-
shire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, 'circuitous, and ex-
pensive canal company, which this aturottierlines of railway meet-
ing at Uttoxekr will remedy.
The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, Agricultural, and manufac-
turing purposes along this line will be groat,
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest,
Banks, Bagots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres,
chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objection-
able route ; whereas this line would open a flirect, easy, and cheap
communication to new markets. Thq, line has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there are not dime than ordinary engineering
difficulties. In consequence of the latt4i'arHamentary decisions, it is
intended to make this line en the broar gauge principle, but the pro-
moters do not pledge themselves absoltitely to do so.

The great importance and increasing prosperity of the port of
Southampton requires that more extensive railway accommodation
should be at once provided.
According to the evidence:lately given before Parliament by Mr. Ed-
wards, the Collector of Customs at that port, the exports have more
Ed-
-1 quadrupled during the last three years, and he expressed his
conviction, that if a more direct communication with the manufac-
turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a
sum than tett millions the first year afterwards.
All the steamers from England to Jersey, and the Channel Islands,
to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece,
Turkey, Egypt, and the past and West Indies, now depart from and
arrive at Southampton. It *also the most direct and shortest course
to l'aris througk Ilavre.
Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester
. and theen. anafacturing districts for export, which would be greatly
Increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and
the-Simply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, and victualling stores
at Portsmouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces-
sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com-
municidion from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos-
port,:and Portsmouth. is absolutely necessary.
Ilse passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the Oxford, Worcester, and
:WolVerhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facildies of effect-
ing this communication in the most direct course.
;By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this
_{Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
thiraxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
kert and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance
.of Pniy thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from all parts of the north of England and
AlltwVoufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
liiktb •
...„ . •
~The_; line goes through a favourable country, and will be made at
little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man-
•chester7and the north, will be very large. A communication from
.•Nerbury to a port is much wanted, so that the large quantities of
-cornbyought to that market may be exported along the coast. A
milek,Aransit from Oxford to Winchester, to Southampton and
France, and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured.
Froyii: Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter-
-borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and
-Nork-Railways ; by this means affording the most direct and shortest
roak, to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield,
the large cloth districts of' Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland.
. T4re-whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and
belled goge.s of Sheffieltothisd, and theand cloth goods of Yorksh:re, must
_ng exclusively line, quite sufficient of itself
141naintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even
Xs. it , had tip further claims on public attention ; but when
fderence is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the
"*.ilicliird and Rugby Railway, mar Banbury' another railway will
;prokOed. to Birmingham, which brings that most important town
estNkiaisniles nearer to the port of Southampton than by the route
,proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby
Slue Treat Valley •and North Staffordshire Railway will carry the
traffic on to Manchester, by which route the distance to Manchester
-1140tonthampton is considerably less than by the same route round
.t.:hettenham, and will be further reduced by the Itughy and Maccles-
Asittljbe, when made; and as the goods coining by this line to South-
-allspton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail-
'Nl*, s posses=ing a very large tragic of their own, and which can
n flinSTI o carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates
thus a new
co'n4ii-ny, which depends for its support entirely on such raffic, can
lesSil-ly do, they will be brought much cheaper by this line, than by
,estv• line which can be made between Southampton and Cheltenham.
---• Pot(fit is of the most vital importance to the town of Southampton
"tbarthis communication with the manufacturing districts should he
rlileted in the least possible time, in order that the continuance of
rfßeign steam packets may be secured to that fort. This Rai1,..,,,i1l
,..,,,ill be made and opened in twelve months after the passing of
thVill, i.e., the Ist of September, 1847, whereas the line, via -Chel-
On Mn, cannot be finished in less than three years.
"; :MC Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetsbire, and parts to the west-
`OM will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion of
4st:traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places
_tiei2nd it.
-"—N.4 to the gauge there will be no difficulty. The Commission now
2siVfig will decide that. and -there is not the least doubt, but that
tleW,r3 will be brought from Manchester, Birmingham, Rte., in the
.1146 truck, and without anyshifting throughout the whole line to
tri-k,_,At's side in the docks at Southampton and to Gosport.
