" That., in the opinion of this meeting, the construction of a railway
from Ross to Worcester, via Ledbury and Malvern, as set forth in
the prospectus of the Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway
Company, is calculated essentially to promote the prosperity of this
town and neighbourhood, inasmuch as it will perfect a direct main
trunk line of railway from South Wales, embracing the ports of
Swansea, Cardiff, and Newport, to Ledbury, Malvern, Worcester,
South Staffordshire, Birmingham, and the North, and afford an ad-
vantageous outlet for the agricultural produce of this district; there-
fore this meeting will give such undertaking its strenuous support."—
(Resolution put and carried unanimously.)
It was moved by PHILIP AfATTHEWS, Esq., and seconded by JOHN
PURCHES, Esq. ;
" That the thanks of this meeting be given to William Chadwick,
Esq., and the gentlemen of the deputation from the London Com-
mittee, for their attendance at this meeting, and for the satisfactory
information they have afforded to the meeting respecting the pro-
posed Worcester and South Wales Junction Railway."—(Carried
unanimously.)

One of the principal objects this Company has in view, is a great
saving of time in the journey from Ireland and South Wales to
Bristol and London, by avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage
of the Bristol Channel, and at the same time effecting the long
sought-for communication between the English and Bristol Channels,
all of which will be gained by connecting Minehead with Bridge-
water by a Railway, and there forming a junction with the railways
already opened, and also with those now in actual progress between
Bridgwater and the commodious and important port of Poole.
-The question of an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on
the Somersetshire coast for Ireland, Wales, and the Westward gene-
rally, from whence vessels may arrive and depart at all times, with-
out reference to tide, has for many years past been regarded as one
of immense importance to the Government and the public.
By making Minehead a post-office station, a saving of twelve
kours will be effected in the delivery of letters between Ireland and
the whole of the west and south of England ; and no other port on
the coast of Somerset (or even on the north of Devon) will be so
safe, and sheltered from all the prevailing winds.
At Minehead, the proposed railway will run down on a pier, which
the largest class steamers may approach, and land and embark pas-
sengers at all states of the tide, and again proceed at once into the
Western Ocean on their outward voyage.
The public is perhaps hardly aware that, even with the present
imperfect and rude arrangements for landing passengers at Weston
Super-Mare, it is found that passengers from Ireland and the impor-
tant ports of the south of Wales save several hours by landing at that
place ; whereas, by the proposed pier and railway from Minehead,
deal more, on their journey to London, avoiding, besides, the dangers
passengers would save generally twelve hours, and very often a great
of the Bristol Channel.
It is not among the least striking features of this project that it

forms part of a grand scheme for shortening the communication

CbeZtineeenntlreland
generally,a ntl
as
by this railway to others now in progress via Yeovil and Dorchester
to Poole, from which port the distance to Cherbourg is only sixty
miles, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily
performed in eight hours and a half; and from Cherbourg a railway
is now in course of formation to Paris. The distance also to the
Channel Islands is reduced in the same proportion. A powerful com-
pany, frilly alive to the advantages of this mode of transit in prefe-
rence to the more tedious one via Southampton and Havre, Li about
to put en a line of packets between the ports of Poole and Cherbourg
and the Channel Islands, thus shortening the route in point of time
by about seventeen hours.
This Company, in showing to the public the probable amount of
traffic which will flow over their line, beg leave to draw attention to
the following extracts, taken from a prospectus of a Company, formed
under the auspices of the Chairman of the Great Western Company,
and the leading bankers and merchants of Bristol, for making a pier
at, and railway from Portbury, to Bristol, and on which no further
comment will be made, save that whatever applies to Fortbury, ap-
plies with infinitely greater force to Minehead, both in the saving of
time,dang r, delay, and expense.
" There are at the present time engaged in the trade with South
Wales, Somersetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Liverpool, and Ireland,
twenty-three steam-vessels of the aggregate tonnage of upwards of
6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals
and departures per week on an average throughout the year.
"The principal part of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con-
sists of passengers, whilst of their goods traffic an important portion
consists of merchandise brought by, and intended for carriage on, the
existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For
the conduct of this traffic, every vessel will necessarily require to use
the pier and railway on each occasion of departure and arrival, as
the most expeditious, convenient, and economical mode of conveying
such traffic to or towards its place of destination.
" The number of passengers carried by the existing steam-boats
amounts to at least 200,000 per annum ; and when it is considered
that the fhcilities afforded by the pier of starting and arriving at all
times of the tide, will enable vessels which now perform but one
voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from the nearer
ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or four times in
the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the
voyages to Swansea, Tenby, and Ilfracombe, they will effect a saving
of one-half the time now occupied, and that similar advantages will
be derived by the trade with Cornwall and Ireland, it can neither be
doubted that the expense of conveyance between Bristol and those
places will be considerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re-
duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the
times of departure and arrival, must have the effect of causing a
great increase in the number of passengers.
"A large and most valuable portion of the merchandise carried by
the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-beats consists of fish, poultry,
eggs, vegetables, and other articles of provision ; speed and certainty
in the conveyance and delivery of articles of so perishable a nature
are obviously essential, and the facilities in this respect afforded by
the pier are such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking.
" A very considerable revenue will also be derived from the landing
and carriage of Live stock brought by the Irish steam boats, which
being imported fat and ready to kill, now suffer much injury from the
detention of the vessels in Kingroad whilst waiting for tide."
Although it is unnecessary to calculate upon the whole of this im-
portant and justly founded traffic, it is nevertheless impossible to
over-estimate the large portion of it that will come over this line,
when it is remembered that by the proposed scheme the harbour of
Waterford will, by means of powerful steamers, be brought within
twelve, and the ports of Dublin and Cork within fifteen hours of the
terminus at Miuehead, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un-
pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided.
So also must the traffic derived from steam-boats, and on the line
itself, be added, which will arise from the immense resort of persons
seeking pleasure in the beautiful vicinities of Nether Stowey, Blue
Anchor, Minehead, Porlock, Linton, Lynmouth, and the far-famed
Valley of Rocks and adjacent country, so aptly termed the Switzer-
land of England, and which only require increased facilities to be
much more than even at present resorted to ; and so great is the
existing traffic that, by the calculations already made, a large reve-
nue will be derived from this source alone.
The present number of cattle sent to Bristol from Ireland alone is
upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex-
pect that these will be landed at the far nearer port of Minehead,
thereby creating a considerable source of revenue.
The importance of this railway to the agricultural district of North
Somerset is incalculable for disseminating, as manure, in every di-
rection the celebrated lime of Cannington Park, from which, and also
from the carrying of coal, a large revenue will arise.
Memel timber brought into the port of Poole (the harbour dues of
which are very insignificant) can be unshipped, carried across by
rail, and re-shipped at Minehead, at a cost of 7s. per ton less in
freight, than if carried round the Landsend, exclusive of the great
saving in time ; this alone will open a large trade with Wales, as
vessels will bring over coals to Minehead, and take back timber,
limestone, flour, mine, slates, and copper ore.
The blue lias lime-stone of Watchet, so admirably adapted for
aquatic building, will also produce a considerable revenue to this
undertaking.
The flour and provision trade, at present carried on between the
mining districts of South Wales and the coast of Somerset, must ne-
cessarily flow over this line, and create an important feature in its
revenue.
One of the first effects of the formation of this line will be, that
steam communication will be established between Minehead and the
following places;—Swansea, Tenby, Milford, Neath, Haverfordwest,
Pembroke, and Carmarthen, and with the whole of the South of
Ireland; and this railway, with a suitable station and wharfs, will
also afford to Watchet all the advantages of which it is capable as a
Port. •

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
touch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway. It will communicate with Droitvrich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions :of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and
the agricultural produce of the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of `he kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country.
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be joined or
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respective
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
Applications for shares in the annexed form to be made t• the

FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
To the Provisional Committee of the Worcester, Warwick, and
Rugby Railway Company.
Gentlemen,—l request you will allot to me Shares of
201. each in the above-named Company, and I hereby undertake to
pay the Deposit thereon, and to execute the necessary Deeds when
required.

Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch
Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Bridgwater
stop ; and it may be mentioned that 130,000 tons of coasting trade
come into this port annually, exclusively of 10,000 tons of foreign
trade,

From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of
the proposed capital will be required to carry out the objects of this
Company.
Power will be reserved to allow the shareholders 41. per cent. on
the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or
Watchet to Wiveliscembe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines
of Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of
Sir John Trevylyan, are in active working within seven miles of Mine-
head. From this source, as also from the copper mines of Andrew
Crosse, Esq., a large revenue must arise.
The landowners ave ben communcaed with, and are mos
anxious for the such cessfule carrying outi oft the objects of the Com-
pany ; nor is there reason to expect that any Parliamentary opposi-
tion will be offered.
The line will be twenty-five miles in length, and no engineering
difficulties present themselves.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of
the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation,
and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to
Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby
given to the Managing Directors as above, to raise any additional capital,
to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines docks, piers,
wharfs, or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other
Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of
the Company.
Applications for Shares, plans, prospectuses, and detailed informa-
tion, may be made at the Offices of the Company, No. 3, Alderman's-
walk, City, London; at the Offices of the Company's Solicitors,
Messrs. a Beckett, Son, and Sympson, 7, Golden-square, London ;
Mr. Vaughan Prance, Nether Stowey and Bridgwater. And of the
Local Agents—lir. William Woodland, solicitor, Taunton ; Mr. N.
Pearce, solicitor, Wiviliscombe ; Mr. James Parsons, solicitor, Lang-
port ; Messrs. Stone and Symonds, solicitors, Dorchester ; Mr.
Thomas Phippard, solicitor, Wareham ; Mr. M. K. Welch, solicitor,
Poole ; Mr. Henry Poole, solicitor, Bristol. And of the following
Stock and Share Brokers—Messrs. 'l'ucker, Barnett, and Ellis, 11,
Birchin-lane ; and Messrs. !Innings and Lang, London; Messrs.
Hall, Brothers, and Co., Cheltenham ; Mr. John Morcom, Bristol ;

bility.—Dated September 12, 1845. Ey or ler,
