rich valley of the .xe, via Silverton am. Bickleigh, di
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, ar
formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the we '
of Engla-d. It will administer largely to the prosperity of th t
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, leg Ramp'
ton, Bulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristc
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence this
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydril, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Mtnchcad it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels.
A moie valuable and important line to the country which it will
traverse could not be projected. A list of the Provisional Committee
will be published in a few days ; and in the meantime further infor-
mation may he obtained, mid applications for shares may be made
to, the solicitors, Messrs. Elinslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, or at the Company's Offices, No. 37, Gresham-street, City.

This railway project will join Manchester to Lincoln by nearly a
straight line, and has been formed by an union with the Chesterfield
Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion of that caner
intollfrailway (as far as it may be available), so as to give the most
complete system of railway accommodation 1).•om Great Grimsby,

This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East
Retford, Worksop, and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid-
land Railway, the Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the
proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester
and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length It will be about
