Deposit 2/. I2s. 6d. per Share.

This extension has been adopted for the purpose of continuing the
direct line of railway from London to Falmouth and Penzance, ac-
cording to the plan and intention, as originally proposed, of the Direct
London and Exeter railway. The projectors were prevented by the
Unavoidable absence of their engineer, and the deputation who in-
tended to be present at the meeting lately held in Cornwall, bringing
their plan before it ou that occasion, though it is, in fact, the only one
really practicable to effect the object in view, being wholly free from
the objections attendant on a junction of several small Companies
working from the South Western.
The Committee regret t) find that the plan of a line from London
to Falmouth, first projected by the present Company, should, with
many of its peculiar features, have been recently adopted by others,
in a way calculated to mislead the public mind into a belief, that the
undertaking has been projected by them, though it was never .sug-
gested till the Direct London and Exeter Company made the commu-
nication from London to Falmouth a main principle of action.
The extension line will proceed from Exeter to Cheriton, Oke-
hampton, Launceston, Bodmin, St. Columb, Truro, and Penzance,
with branches from Okehampton to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, one
from Launceston to Plymouth, and another from Truro to Falmouth.
The deficiency of traffic, population, and trade, for any undertaking
wholly confined to Cornwall and Devonshire is admitted beyond dis-
pute, but arrangements have been made for immediately carrying
out the line from Exeter to Fahnouth, with that of London to Exeter,
so as to form one integral communication from London to Falmouth
and Penzance, worked by two capitals, for one object and under one
Company, and which will form a highly profitable undertaking as an
integral scheme.

Any parties interested in the success of this national undertaking,
are requested to communicate with the Committee forthwith, and
are particularly advised not to pledge themselves to any other plan
attempted to interfere with the original project of the Direct London

the failure of which must create great loss to the subscribers of any
competing line.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
Will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Ecckshall, Gilley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Hawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."

The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills ftom an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Blanchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales. .

As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is conside-tti that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
Populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.

Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders wio. be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent per annum
on the amount of the deposit, and upon the curther calls, from the
date of each payment until the opening of th. line ; and the first
deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of
Parliament shall have been obtained.
Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from the
Secretary, the solicitors, the local agents, also the brokers, Messrs.
Mieville and Co., Angel-court, Throgniorton-street, London. ; Messrs.
Cameron, Cazenove, and Taunton, Liverpool ; Messrs. Green end Old-
ham, Manchester; Nathaniel Lea, Esq., Birmingham ; Messrs. Selmes
and Tripp, Bristol ; Messrs. Turley and Cooper, Leeds ; J. Senior, v:sq.
Sheffield; Messrs. Brady and Staniforth, Hull; to whom applications
for Shares (which must be on printed forms) may be addressed ; and
it will be necessary that reference be made to a backer, solicitor, or
person of responsibility.
