and the like—and of treble and quadruple the value of British
iron. Dr. Kane, in his invaluable volume, " The Industrial Re-
sources of Ireland," adduces ample reason for anticipating that
the transport of coal (especially the anthracite coal of Kilkenny)
into the neighbourhood of Lough Allen, and the improvements in
the preparation of peat fuel, will restore the superiority in this
article, which the singular richness of the mineral should secure to
the locality. The reader is referred to the foregoing standard
authority (second edition, 1845) for the fullest and most satistac.
tory information on this point ;:and also for a complete confirmation
of what has already been imperfectly glanced at, as to the results
certain to spring from the contemplated railroad.

Not only does the railroad about to be made by this Company
couple the iron and coal works of Ireland is a direct and confirm.
ous line, but the route abounds with numerous other elements of
manufacturing and commercial greatness, all of which will be
called into active vitality as this undertaking progresses.
In estimating the magnitude of this project in its entirety, as
extending from shore to shore through the heart of Ireland, It is
hardly possible to exaggerate the importance of the proximity of
the noble harbour of Waterford to the English coast ; and these
advantages must every day increase in proportion as railway corn.
munication between London and th 2 southern counties improves.
A much extended Provisional Committee will shortly be pub.

along the line is Invited, to whom every information will be

The Direct Exeter, Plymouth, and Devonport Railway will
commence at the Exeter station of the projected Exeter, Yeovil,
and Dorchester line, and proceed direct to Chudleigh and the
river Teign, where it will join the Brixham and Torbay line, thus
opening a direct communication with Newton, Torquay, Paign-
ton, and Brixham. From the Teign it will proceed over Bovey
Heathfield near the Potteries, passing the rail of the Haytor
Granite Works to Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; at the latter
place it will join the proposed Totnes, Buckfastleigh, and Ashbur-
ton Railway, and will then continue its course by South Brent,
Ivy-bridge, and Plympton, to Plymouth and Devonport, bringing
these important towns within five hours 01 London.
The advantages offered by this line of railway are, that it is the
most direct ; it will bring Chudleigh within nine miles of Exeter,
and by joining, in the valley of the Teign, the Dartmouth and Tor-
bay Railway, will afford that very important line the shortest pos.
Bible communication with Exeter and the metropolis. It is the
nearest and most direct route to the important manufacturing
towns of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh; and whilst affording to
this large and populous manufacturing district the greatest accom-
modation will also open a desirable road, for either exporting or
conveying into the interior the valuable slate, lime, and minerals
found so abundantly around Chudleigh, Ashburton, Staverton, and
Buckfastleigh.
The promoters of this company, however, consider its most Im-
portant feature to be the direct access it affords to the Royal
Arsenal and the ports of Plymouth and Devonport from the me-
tropolis, the city of Exeter, and the north of England, saving a
distance of not less than twelve miles between Exeter and Devon-
port; and by the connexion of this line with the Exeter and Yeo-
vil Railway, effecting a further saving of thirty miles in the direc.
tion of London and the counties of the eastern coast. This junc-
tion affords a still stronger point, it will put Plymouth and
Portsmouth, the two great naval arsenals of the kingdom, in direct
communication with each other, an advantage which cannot be

Government.

It is evident this line embraces all the desiderata of a grand
trunk line—viz., great public accommodation combined with safety
economy, and speed.

The Committee have much pleasure in stating that they have
received a report from their engineers which is in all respects
most satisfactory, and that the fullost arrangements have been
made for applying to Parliament in the ensuing ses.ion.

PROSPECTUS.
This rgilWay is intended to form a connecting lir.k between the
railways which, traversing the eastern and midland counties, ap-
proach Brixton ; the railway-a which from the south approach Maccles-
field, and the railways which communicate with Warrington, Liver-
pool, Birkenhead, Lancaster, and the north, Fleetwood-upon-Wyre,
and Bolton,
llotilhlencing at Buxton, it will pass by a route which, from actual
survey by the Company's Engineer, has been reported perfectly
practicable for locomotive power, through the populous and thriving
manufacturing district of Bollington to Prestbury, where it will form
a junction with the Macclesfield branch of the Manchester and Bir-
mingham Railway, thereby completing a connexioon with the popu-
lous boroughs of Macclesfield on the one hand, and Stockport on the
other ; thence passing through Handforth and Wilmslow to Altrin-
cham, it will there avail itself of a communication with Manchester,
by the Altrincham and Manchester branch of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway, and with Warrington and Stockport, either
by independent branches, or by some of the newly-projected lines,
as may be arranged. It will then proceed to the Liverpool and
3lanche'ster Railway, at a point of communication between Kenyon
Junction and Parkside, and thus complete, 1 y means of the existing
railways, the communication with:Bolton, Lancaster, and the north,
and with Fleetwood and Liverpool.
The great advantages of this communication between
.the south
eastern and north-western districts of England, will be evident by a
cursory view of the map. It will be the most direct line from Not-
tinghamshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and the adjoining dis-
tricts, to the north-western parts of England (north of Chester), and
must command a considerable thorough traffic. It will also open a
communication with the salt districts of Cheshire.
The length of the railway and branches will be about 36 miles.
There are no engineering difficulties, save in that portion of the
line which lies between Buxton and Bollington, and the report of the
engineer thereon is very satisfactory.
The directors are happy to say, that there are'no residential proper-
ties interfered with ; that the line will be heartily concurred in by the
landowners ; and that the country through which it passes is thickly
inhabited, and would afford a revenue independent of the thorough
traffic.

The plans are in a state of forwardness, and will be in readiness
to be lodged, in conformity with the standing orders of Parliament.
A considerable portion of the capital is reserved for landed pro-
prietors and those locally interested.
Powers will he applied for in the Act, to authorise the payment of
41. per cent. interest on the calls, until the completion of the line.
Until the Act is obtained, ho shareholder is liable further than the
amount of deposit, and afterwards, no further than the capital sub-
scribed.
The Acting Committee of Provisional Directors will have full
power, until the Act is obtained, to make any modification and altera-
tion in the proposed line—to increase or diminish the amount of ca-
pital—to abandon any portion of the line or branches—to propose
and apply for any aduitional branches, and generally, to enter into
any arrangements with any other company or companies, which, to
shell Acting Committee, may appear reasonable or advisable.
Application fbr Shares may be addressed to the Solicit.rs; or to

Successive Administrations, from the time of Mr. Pitt, have recog-
nised the importance of establish!ng at a point of the southern Coast
of England, within an eligible distance from the Metropolis, a Har-
bour with docks and warehouses for bonding merchandise, whereby all
vessels from the westward may save the delay and expense of a
voyage up channel, and avoid the risk to which that tedious and
dangerous navigation necessarily exposes them. The political con-
