Cornwall has long been struggling to procure the benefits of rail-
way communication, but divisions amongst its friends have for
several successive years prevented any scheme from being carried

out.
BodAtmlienn,glphr,esoindedthoeve2rOthbyAtugshe lit

resolved :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as
well as of the public at large, absolutely require that no trunk line
should be sanctioned through the county which does not afford the
most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication
from Falmouth and Penzance to London." This decision, in con-
junction with the appearance of the scheme of the North Devon
Company, has appeared to the promoters of the Great Western
and Falmouth Junction railway, to present a favourable opportunity
for bringing before the public a Central Line, on the broad guage,
which, by the combination of four powerful companies, is now, it
may be said, brought almost to the boarders of Cornwall.
The Great Western railway, already open to Exeter, is now being
extended to Cre.aton, and from thence the North Devon Company
intend to construct a main line to join their north and south Devon
line, in the neighbourhood of Ilatherleigh, thirty miles directly west
from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth.
The Great Westerns and Falmouth Junction Railway will corn-
menc( near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length,
and form a direct extension of the line from Crediton to that place,
proposed by the North Devon Company, and will thence proceed by
Launces• on, Bodmin, and Truro to Falmouth; and in order to pre-
serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to Plymouth, ad-
mitted to be of great local importance, a branch will run from the
main line near Bodmin, through or near Liskeard, to join the South
Devon and Tavistock Railway, near Plymouth.
By means of this railway, and. the North Devon, Credidto and
Exeter, Bristol and Exeter, and Great Western Railways, there will
be a direct and unbi oken line on the broad gauge :from Falmouth
through Exeter, to London, on the one hand, and to Plymouth and
the South Coast on the other; and it will also be connected with the
railways and canals already existing in Cornwall, and, by branches,
with all the most important towns in that county and the North of
Devon. It is also intend. d that the line shall be the best in engineer-
ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will allow,
land that the formidable difficulties, which induced the Board of Trade
to report to Parliament against the late Cornwall and Devon Central
line, shall be avoided.
This scheme has a decided advantage of er any other at present
ifioposed for giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway c anunica-
lion, and is the only line which can with certainty effect the object
to which the county became pledged, by the resolution of the 20th of
August last—no other line affords " direct, central, safe and con-
tinuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to
London." The Cornwall and Devon Central Railway will not en-
sure a continuous line from Falmouth to London, until three other
independent Companies shall have succeeded in obtaining their
Bills ; and these projected lines have also to contend against the op-
position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. The
%' est of England below Exeter, is obviously the country -of the
broad gauge, and there is no probability that Parliament will sanction
the introduction of any other gauge into that district, which would be
productive of endless confusion and inconvenience. With the South
Devon line on the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the
other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward
tollatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance,
all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the
Great Western, and its associated Companies—there can be
little doubt that no narrow gauge line will be permitted to run
parallel with those already sanctioned by the legislature, or proposed
for the further accommodation of the country by such influential
companies. In order fully to comply with the expressed wishes of
the county of Cornwall and to secure that " direct, central, sate, and
continuous railway communication" so much required, the present
line has been projected, and will, when completed, form the Central
link of the great series of lines already under the direction of the
Great Western, and the other associated Companies. It is therefore
confidently presumed that no other scheme for connecting Cornwall
and West Devon with the Metropolis, and the North of England,
can compete with the present line with any probability of success,
presenting as this line does the prominent points of national and local
advantage, and possessing all the elements essential to command the
favourable consideration of Parliament.
As a work of national importance, it has been long admitted that a
line o f railway to the important Port of Falmouth must be carried
out ; the promoters of this railway do not, therefore, think it neces-
sary to repeat the here the highly satisfactory results of the traffic
over the line, which were long since ascertained. It is sufficient to
say, they prove an ample return on the capital to be invested.
The survey is in progress, and will be completed in time to apply to
Parliament in the ensuing Session ; and the promoters having already
received highly satisfactory assurances of support, as well local as
general, feel justified in expressing their conviction that their appli-
cation will be crowned with success.
The capital will be divided into 50,000 shares of 251. each, upon
which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. per share must be paid upon the allot-
ment. Power will be taken ta pay interest on the deposit, and all
calls till the line is opened ; and no subscriber will be liable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.
Preference will be given, in the allotment, to landowners, to local
applicants, and to parties holding shares in the Great Western, Bristol
and Exeter, Exeter and Creditou, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to
the Solicitors of the Company ; or to any respectable brokers in town
or country.

The great objects of this company are twofold. The first is to esta-
blish the most direct line of railway communication between all th-
midland and southern and northern counties of England ; and also
with Scotland, by a short junction line of about 22 miles in length
from the North Union Railway, at or near Parkside,-to ,a point on the
Manchester and Birmingham Railway, at or near Prestbury, and
thence to Macclesfield, there uniting with some one or snore of such
of the .iniciermeetioned proposed lines, to or near that place, as may he
sanctioned by Parliament„and effect a junction with the Trent Val;
ley, Lonifon and Birmingliam, and Midland Counties Railways

A continuous line of railway communication will thus be fortieth

to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and all the important cities and towns
in Scotland, thus establishing the inost Minot:taut and Uninter-
rupted, and at the Sante tithe the shortest and most expeditiouS
Null
ef commtinteation between the metropolis of England and that of
Scotland, and all the intermediate places. In conjunction smith the
pi oposed line from Sheffield to Macclesfield, the most direct commu-
nication between Liverpool and Sheffield will be effected.
The second object of this Company is by the proposed branch to
Warrington, there Uniting with the contemplated line of the Grand
Junction Railway Company from that place to the Liverpool and
and Manchester Railway, at Huyton, to effect the shortest find most
convenient lino of communication between Macclesfield, Warrington,
and Lt•Verpool, •
When it is considered that Macclesfield and its environs, with a
population of 50,000, must become so important a centre of railway
communication from the midland, western, and southern counties of
England, and that there is not at present any direct railway from
thenee, connecting it with all the important manufacturing, coal,
and other mineral districts, in the direct line to Scotland, and that
this line would meet the existing deficiency, and form the most di.-
rect. route, by effecting a saving of sixteen mileS in the distance from
Macclesfield to Parkside and • also to Warrington, over any esta-
blished or proposed line in a northern direction—the de,sireableness of
this project, in a na tonal point ef view, must, it is presumed, be ad-
mitted ; and that it will form an important trunk line of cornmuni-
e,ation, over which a larger amount of passenger traffic, agricultural,
mineral, and the manufacturing produce would pass, than any other
line of the same length in the -kingdom, The advantage which this
project offers to the public will be aufaciently appaFent, without fur-
ther comment. -
