This Company was constituted on the 28th of August, 1845,
according to an Acte de Societe, passed before M. Baudier,
Notary at Paris. Its object is the construction of one of the most
important lines of railroad hitherto projected in France,
and perhaps on the whole continent. A reference to the map
will make it sufficiently apparent that, although short in
itself, this line will connect, by means of the Paris and
Lyons, and other French railroads, the Atlantic and Mediterranean ;
as well as France, England, Belgium, and Holland with Switzerland
and Italy ; and will thus complete the great Trunk line of commu-
nication between the West and South-East of Europe.
The length of the line is 120 kilometres, or 76 English miles ; it
branches off from the Great Paris and Lyons Railroad at Macon,
situated half way between Chalons-sur-Sayone and Lyons, at a dis-
tance of about 70 kilometres, or 27 English miles from each of those
places, and passes through Bourg, the principal town of the depart-
ment De l'Ain, and by Nantha to Geneva.
Negotiations are pending, and likely to be brought to successful
issue, between this Company and the Swiss Government, with regard
to an extension of this line to Lausanne and Yverdun, which will
connect them with the remainder of Switzerland and Germany ; and
should this important concession be gained, a preference in the allot-
ment of shares will, of course, be given to shareholders in this
Company.
The capital of the Company has been fixed at 60,000,000 of francs
(or 2,400,0001.), of which 25,000,000 francs (or 1,000,0000, are to be
subscribed for in England.
The English capital is divided into 50,000 shares,of 201. each, upon
which a deposit of 2/. is to be paid on allotment. One month's pre-
vious notice will be given of all subsequent instalments, which are not
to exceed 21. each.
In case a lease of the line shall not be granted to this Company, the
deposits will be paid back without deduction, but without interest.
No applications for shares will be attended to unless accompanied
by a first-rate reference.
Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form,

This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad
with the advantages of railway communication.
No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural
facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return
for the capital required to be invested.
From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at
the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of
slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other
colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro-
portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages oflabour, have
since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially
from the other West India Islands—so that cultivation has been
gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports.
And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to
have increased in the same period fifty per cent.
As the arrangements now made for encouraging hnmigration pro-
mise to bring a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is
every , probability that its production will be progressively aug-
mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing
establishments : and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being
still in the possession of the Crown upwards of a million of acres of
the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu-
lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a
corresponding increase of traffic.
In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the
present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re•
tun, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension
with the advancement of the colony. '
An outline of such a plan has been submitted to the Secretary of.
State for the Colonies ; and, 'although no conclusiVe arrangement can

will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the
Local Government."
Under this recommendation it is expected that a great part of the
land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con-
struction of the railways, and the works connected therewith, will be
obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be-
lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land
for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of
these lines will depend, in some degree, upon this encouragement.
It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous
to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressiv
extension.
These concessions, while justly made in consideration of Important
public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, b im-
mediately and prospectively.

That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between
the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is
now fully admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be
adopted.
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most di-
rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete
the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen-
diture of capital than by either of the projected London and Man-
chester lines (Remington's and Ashurat's), the actual distance to be
constructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as
an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,000/.judiciously applied in
the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at thd
a fae reduced r
greater
cost
of the execution of earth works, will prove in the and
real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in
the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance,
to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the
same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to
Manchester.
These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue
valleys and to avoid the irregularities of the face of the country,
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton
Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more
difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been
adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects,
in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported
in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route,
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no
engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly
interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North London
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre the utmost
of the City of Londe.,
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of
importance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy theconceded
public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be
that a line that will attain such important results at so small an
outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested intereas, must meet
with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent
investment for capital.
The shareholders in the Oxford; Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holobtainedbeders ond the deposit now paid,

interest in all calls.

While two gigantic projects arc struggling for victory, which, if
obtained, would inevitably prove fruitless, the dense and wealthy
population between Lincoln and York, and between Lincoln and
Leeds, are left unsupplied with railway accommodation. Not less
ambitious of accomplishing a great public benefit, the projectors of
the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Junction Railway have adopted Lin-
coln (with 30,000 inhabitants), York (with 40,000), and Leeds (with
152,000), as the termini of their line ; and, calculating upon the ulti-
mate success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Bill he the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament, propose to complete the whole line of rail from
London to York and Leeds by the execution of this design.
Leaving Lincoln, the proposed line will be taken by Saxelby and
Lea to Gairasborough, where it will cross the Trent, and thence to
Hasey-gate, whence a branch will issue to Doncaster. At this lat-
ter place a communication will be formed with projected lines from
Manchester and Sheffield to the port of Goole ; and by this arrange-
ment a communication will be opened with the inexhaustible coal
fields of Elsecar and Silkstonc—a species not inferior to that of Dur- 1
ham and Sunderland—as well as with the limestone quarries at
Warmsworth, so valuable for building purposes.
Proceeding to Thorne, the line reaches Snaith, and, continuing its
direct course westward to Selby, near to which it is crossed by the
Hull and Selby Railway, will have its northern terminus at the city
of York.
At Thorne, or some convenient point near to it, an auxiliary line
will emanate from the main trunk to Askern, and either by means
of the proposed branch to the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole line
to that place, or by an independent course, as may hereafter be deter-
mined upon, will run through Pontefract direct to Leeds. By this
means the whole of the manufacturing districts of the West Riding
of Yorkshire and Lancashire will be rendered easily accessible.
This line will be the shortest between Lincoln and York ; Lincoln
and Leeds ; Lincoln and Selby ; York and Selby ; and York and
Hull.
The gradients throughout the line are so favourable, that none exceed
1534 feet in the mile, an instance unparalleled, if the length of it be
taken into consideration. There will be no tunnels ; the works will
everywhere be light; no invasion of ornamental property is neces-
sary ; and the local interests have expressed themselves favourable to
the project.
From the combination of advantages, facilities, and patronage
from the great breadth of new country to be supplied with railway
accommodation—moderate cost of labour on the line—enormous
supply of materials, and encouraging traffic returns—an interest of
ten per cent. on vested capital is confidently expected, exclusive of a
fair allowance for working expenses.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. on all deposits.
The plans and sections of the Lincoln, York, and Leeds Company,
being now in the possession of the promoters of this Company, an
immense saving of expense will thereby be gained.

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city
of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton,
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor-
chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the
other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.
At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by
means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc-
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester
eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication from Dover to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself
of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of the Government.
In fixing the course which tills Railway will take, it has been the
careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as
will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and
important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated
on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of
the Kingdom have been equally studied.
This Line will also open such additional means of communication
to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har-
bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even-
tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the
other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water-
ing Places of Exmouth, Buclleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Channouth,
Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part
of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac-
cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position
with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In-
land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetahire is pre-
eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold.
The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter-
tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di-
rection proposed by the present Company :—" In making their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen
from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great
Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated,
from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
'And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the
line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and
Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last
session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will
be very considerable.
A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar
engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to
Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten-
sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in
the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway.
The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc-
tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their
properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given
to the applications of persons locally interested.
Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro-
moters of the line, from which it is evident that an ample re-
turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak-
ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com-
piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from the
passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability
of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions.
Applications for copies of the prospectus, and for shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 62, Moor-
gate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol-
lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New Bank-

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vallies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one of the richest and most important in Souh Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable
products.
It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorganshire, the 'geological formation of which is decidedly
proved to afford most excellent coal and iron-stone in greater abun-
dance than any other in the kingdom, with facilities of aiming ac-
cess seldom equalled, and the quality of the coal is admirably
adapted for steam purposes and the manufacture of iron.
An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) mAy be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other

line.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
British channel.
No engineering difficulties present themselves in the formation of
this line ; and At is confidently anticipated that the works will be
executed very considerably under the advertised capital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this under
nd takine:e
and the names of many influential proprietors will be fou on 1
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
