The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between
London and the Land's End. ,
In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With
the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from it, situation at the
western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since
have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of
at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po-
sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad-
has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in-
evraeng e s, a
st ae
dj t
s imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris-
tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports
were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased.
The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca-
pital, it was notleft to the present Company to discover. The Great
Westelowead Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached
Exeta,:tehas been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal-
mouth by way of Plymouth; and various other projects have been
set on foot on the conviction that Fahnouth must be reached by
railway. -

The object of this prospectus is to show that ne other line than the
resent can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard
to this, its most important outport—" the natural Packet Station of
the empire."
The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is
as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's Ead.
The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga-
mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded
by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct
line ; while means have been taken for securing the traMe and afford-
ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company.
The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway
so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger-
ford, Great Bedwin, Marlborough, Devizes, the manufacturing dis-
trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by
Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells
(from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater),
Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two
miles than any existing railways between these points, and without
a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Esc ter Railway (now
leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is
proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St.
Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the
lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole
it stance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles.

cleat to instify, the eonstruction of this portion of the Direct Wes-
tern that It will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton
about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural
and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as
well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro-
jected, with every chance of success.
As to the traffic on the lower portion of the lino, it is evident that
the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the
Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in
insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at
once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway;
and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports
on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by
Means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol
and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth
of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire
may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and
Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor-
tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a
traffic both in goods and Passengers, from its western terminus, the
amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the
map will make it manliest that no competing trunk line can over be
established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between
Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex-
tent of midland distriet, comprising rich and populous parts of So-
mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of
railroad accommodation.

Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom; it 'may not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line from Landon to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which bore much the same relatinn to the Birmingham and Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter
Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not
a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for In the
report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey►nouth
line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and
Cr ree •t estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for-
ts and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
liament.
It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no •
engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at. an Unusually small expense ; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that
this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the
kingdom. •

Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at
four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference
in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land
through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the
Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected
with the Direct Western district.

The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following
points will be self-evident.
1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and
mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to IV's-
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommtmica-
tion will be opened between the port of Wisbech, and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Counties
system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with No-
rwich and Yarmouth...

THE GREAT NORTHERN and SOUTHERN
DIRECT RAILWAY FROM HUDDERSFIELD TO
DERBY.

Capital 1,500,000/. in 75,000 Shares of 20/. each.
Deposit 2/. 2s. per Share, in compliance with the Standing Orders of
Parliament.

LONDON AGENTS.
Messrs. Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, 20, Chancery-lane.

The objeet of this Railway is, in conjunction with the intended
Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley Railway, to connect in the most
direct line the important and increasing manufacturing towns of
Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford and Keighley with the Metropolis
and South of England, and at the same time complete the intended
chain of railway communication from Glasgow and the North, by
the shortest and most direct route, with London, and from the south
to Glasgow and other parts of Scotland.
It is intended to commence by a junction with the Huddersfield and
Sheffield Railway (for which an Act of Parliament has already been
obtained), at or near Holmfrith, and to proceed from thence through
the lastmentioned place to -Woodhead, and across the Manchester
and Sheffield Railway there, thence to or near Athersage, Nether
Padley, Froggatt, Bubnell, Bakewell, Matlock, Cromford, and to
follow the source of the River Derwent to its junction with the North
Midland Station near to Ambergate, and from thence to Belper or
Derby.

The line will be about 51 miles long, and the most direct corn-
municaticatAhat can be formed between Glasgow, Carlisle, Settle,
Skipton, Colne, Keighley, Halifax, Huddersfield (by means of the pro-
jected Railway), and the counties of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester,
Northampton, Bedford, and London.
It will open the extensive and celebrated atone quarries and coal
mines of West Yorkshire, and afford an inexhaustible supply of coal
and stone to the midland and southern counties, and at the same
time open fresh markets for the products of the celebrated Derby-
shire mines, the cost of which, from the increased facilities ofdirect
transit to be afforded by this Railway will be materially lessened, and
at the same time the markets of the manufacturing towns of West
Yorkshire will be rendered infinitely more accessible for the corn,
wool, cheese, and other productions of the extensive and fertile agri-
cultural districts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and the south.
The present route from Huddersfield to Derby is very circuitous ;
it is contemplated that by the intended line a saving of sixteen miles
will be effected when compared with the Manchester and Leeds, and
the North Midland.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and
correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in preparation.
There are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which
have not been repeatedly surmounted In other cases, whilst by far the
greater portion of the southern part of the line will be constructed at
an unusually small expense.
Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliameat to allow interest at
41. per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the al-
lotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through
which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Huddersfield
and Sheffield, and Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley lines.
The names of a large and influential Committee, with a detailed
Prospectus, will shortly be published.
All communications relative to the Line, as also applications for
Shares (in the form below), accompanied by a satisfactory reference,
may be made and addressed to the Solicitors, at whose office every
necessary information will be given,

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

This Company originated at a Public Meeting of t'n, °Pto
Cornwall, convened by the High Sheriff, in purstlail,
sitien signed by the Lord Lieutenant and 1.600 of 'WO
Gentry, and Freeholders of the County, held at the
in Bodmin, on Thursday, the 28th August, 1845. 1.01 OPVOO
The Meeting was held in consequence of the success COr_o
by the County, and rejection by Parliament, of the Weir'lloollo,
Railway Bill, and a Bill for making a railway frolln ric
Falmouth, in continuation of the projected South De y pra'yr,
from Exeter to Plymouth, pursuing only a winding ne` , the `ie
course along the margin of the Southern Channel, leavine corm
area of Devonshire, West of Exeter, and the whole 0f for
Cornwall Railway
The object ofdestitute theof present undertaking isaccommodation. to provide nr, eficOice
system of railway communication for the whole of then eft°
peninsula ; and as the waste of capital and time involv,i,gl,ya
cuitous route by Bristol is greatly complained of, the le''„osl° or
dispensable feature of the project will be to obtain the "'one tr
punctual, and economical line, between London, Feinlen°lol,
Penzance. It was this central line, westward, which the say 13,
of the House of Lords; on the Wilts and Somerset Its jopP6ijii
the present session, obliged the Great Western Railway of 10 elf
pledge themselves not to oppose; and which they apes try retie'
report "as the line -which the best interests of the col"' the
and which must eventually be carried direct to Fahroe
westerly port in the Channel." „o.lS.ece
As far as Exeter, that project is already in the "sad '4,
" London and South Western," the " London, Salisbury, caelPier
Junction," and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter:
tiadaro
With this strong expression from the Legislature, and d Beal ail
auspices, it may be considered that a continuous line _lO4O
from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, n tWeis
thirty miles shorter than the devious course orthc Giro,
Railway, is already morally secured. In order, there:a°, 11°,70'
plete the great national project thus suggested by 70,10
Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter l-;ziaiceti,
sl
change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Pe Loto
The saving in actual distance thus effected betweell, estce;j
Falmouth, as compared with the threat Western and liso oth
amounts to more than fifty miles ; whilst the time of int i
avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze, to say nothin reeel,,p
difficulties involved in that project, was estimated in theea or ly
quiriee before Pariiament, as equal to a saving of fifteen
meet
miles more. f

Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical positto
forice,
and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the
most westerniy station for our naval and packet se.r:f
affording a most secure harbour of refuge in the even' aglli
