PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.
The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and
thickly populated.
By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be
brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of
North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the
river Severn.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced ftom water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of, the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking,
in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more

dilatory course of water carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the
above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa-
lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro-
posed Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from
thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and
end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a
junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor-
cester, and Crews Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway.
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 Railway.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct coma
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the Inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country has during the present month, August,

1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report
it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail-
way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the
line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to
similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession,
that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will sot interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
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 4/. 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 sub-
rcriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary. . . _

Prospectuses, with a Plan, will he published in a few days,
and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorne
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-

PROSPECTUS,

This Railway will commence at the towns of Dartmouth and
Brixham, and pass through or near Paignton and Torquay; thence,
following the course of the Teign, by Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, and
Moretonhampstead, will proceed direct to Exeter by the proposed
line of the intended Cornwall and Devon Central Railway, and, by
means of the Exeter, Yeovil, and orchester, the,London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil, and the London and S6itW_Mreslem:lines, Ia ditect com-
munication will be thus opened_ from all the above-mentioned dis-
tricts to the Metroliolis.

The fUllowing is an outline a the ge'neral and local advantages
which render it au enterprise of national and commercial im-
portance:— . _ _

Dartmouth and Brixham, from their great facility of access at all

timee, present safe and ready refuge for homeward-bound vessels,
which, either from stress of weather or in time of war, find it desir-
able to make a western port, in the English Channel, and the cargoes
of these vessels, which are frequently of a valuable and perishable
nature, such as those from the Mediterranean and the Levant —may
at once be landed, and by means of this railway forwarded direct to
their destination, by which a great saving in time, and loss now fre-
quently accruing from damage to perishable cotnmodities, will be
effected.
It has been ascertained that the harbour of Dartmotith is at all
times capable of affording a safe anchorage for at least forty ships of
the line, with an additional number of frigates,
as will appear by the
sketch which accompanies the prospectus; and there is good reason
to expect that Dartmouth will be selected as one of the harbours of
refuge.
Dartmouth has been recommended by the Government Commis-
sioners as the best port in the English Channel, for the departure and
arrival of steam-vessels employed in the conveyance of her Majesty's
mails ; and in all probability will, on the formation of this railway,
become the packet station. The following are extracts from the rt.-
port of the Commissioners :
" We beg to state our opinion that Dartmouth will be found the
most eligible port wherein' the malls to and from the West Indies may
be embarked and landed.

" In coming to this conclusion, it behOvee us to state the reasons
which have governed us in this selection • and in the endeavour to
set forth the advantages which we consider Dartmouth to possess for
the contemplated service, as they apply to the packets, the Post-
office, aid the public generally, we shall abstain from bringing it
into direct compari.em with any other port, further than to exbit
their respective distances by sea and land from a given P°lnt, and
the probable time that would be occupied in the transmission of
the mails to and from two great centres—viz., London and Birming-
ham ; the result of which we find to be not unfavourable to Dart-
mouth, independent of the superior qualifications we deem that port
to possess." * *
" Uuder all circumstances, the waters of Dartmouth cannot but
be .perfectly tranquil, so that in the most tempestuous weather the
mail steam packets would not thereby be prevented from embark-
ing and landing the nalls, or from receiving coals from floating de-
pols moored either above or abreast of the town, or from wharfs car-
ried ottt frost either shore." •
Brixham, the port of the well-known excellent anchorage of
Torbay, is also a.safe and commodious harbour; its claims arc fairly
set forth in the following resolutions, in which " the merchants
of Brixham, desirous of calling the attention of railway companies
to the advantages it offered, in support of their projects, on the 4th
.of April, 1844, at a meetim
g, unanimously passed amongst others
the following resolatiOn
" •That the shipping, at present belonging to this port (Brixham)
is 'upwards of 20,000 •tons (independent of its well-known numerous
fishing craft), employing upwards of 1,500 seamen, for which, and
other important reasons, the railway companies arc invited to give
the port of Brixham (Torbay) every considergtion in the arrange-
ment of their proposed line and stations, With reference both to the
traffic of its mercantile community, and the produce of its extensive
fishery." • •
Torquay, with the adjacent neighbourhood, so celebrated for its
scenery and genial climate, has grown into its present state of
prosperity wills a rapidity unequalled, and has already become the
favourite place of abode of many who, whilst seeking a mild climate
during .the winter months, prefer remaining in England to a re-
sidence abroad.
Torquay also presents the nearest point of apprOach to the Chan-
• net Islands,. and .steam-boats ply between those places.
Paigntoq, "the garden of Devon," and which has the finest and
most extensive beach on the far-famed southern coast of Devonshire,
is becoming a most populous and improving watering-place, and is
a favourite hnd fashionable resort during the summer months.
Newton, immediately adjoining, and contiguous to which the line
will pass, is situated on the banks of the reign, and in the very heart
of the South of Devon, surrounded by a rich agricultural country,
most numerously populated, is a considerable and flourishing town,
and its market is the best in that part of the county, supplying the
neighboUring watering-places and their vicinities.
Chudieigh And Moretonhampstead are large and populous agricul-
tural districts, distant from any market towns, and now totally nn-
.provided with railway accommodation. Besides, Chudieigh abounds
in lime of the best quality for agricultural and other purposes, which
by, nieans of this railway will ,be.snePlied at a very reduced cost, to
the north of Devon, and a large district round Crediton, Dunsford,
and Moretonhampstead, places now•provided with lime, from a great
distance, and at a very heavy expense.
This railway will'also effect that which must be considered a great
national object, namely, the junction of the English and Bristol
Channels. ' By the junction of these Channels, an immense traffic
must ensue between the termini at the respective ports of Dart-
mouth and Barnstaple. •
The above railway will be about 35 miles in length, and the Com-
mittee are satisfied, ftom the result of the preliminary survey, that
the proposed capital will bP lunPly sufficient.
The Committee think it unnecessary to present any detailed esti-
mate of the expected traffic and revenue, as it must be obvious from
an inspection of the map, the above outline of the objects to be ao-
complished, the well-known populousness and productiveness of the
district to be traversed, and the comparative cheapness at which the
line will be constructed, maintained, and worked, that the projected
railway presents a most advantageous Investment for capital, and will
afford all ample remuneration to the shareholders.
The Committee will at onceproeeed to complete the surveys, and
take all the‘necessary steps for obtaining an act in the ensuing session
of Parliament. Power. will be given in the Bill to allow interest at
four per cent. per annum on the calls, from the time of payment until
,the opening of the line, and no liability will be incurred by any sub-
Scribei• beyond the amount of his subscription.
The'Comtnittee,' iri the allotment of the shares, will give a pre-
ference to parties locally interested ; and, in all cases, satisfactory
reference will be required to a banker, or to some person of known
respectability. The above line being an extension of the Dartmouth,
Brixham, and South Devon Junction Railway, the applicants for
shares in that project will (on a renewal of their applications in the
annexed form) have a priority,. in the allotment of shares in the rail-
way now proposed.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, may be made to the
Secretary, and. to the undermentioned brokers, namely—Messrs.
Laureuce, Cazenove, and Pearce, Auction Mart ; Mr. H. Vatcher,

near to Newtown and Homebush to Paramatta, thence to Penrith,
in nearly a straight line north of the existing road, and from thence
to Castlereagh, Richmond, and Windsor, with a branch at about
two-thirds of the distance ftom Sydney to Paramatta, leading in a
south-westerly direction to Liverpool and Campbelltown.
By this means an opening will be presented at Penrith by the
Great Western road for the immense quantities of wool, stock, and
other trafiloi which concentrate there, from Wellington, Bathurst,
and the extensive districts beyond the Blue Mountains; at Camp-
belitown, by the road from Vass, Goulbourne, Barrima,
in one direction, and from Appin and ilawarra, in another ; and
at Paramatta, by the Great North road from Wollambi and the
Banter.
The population, already large, is fast Increasing, and an immense
addition to the passenger traffic may be therefore looked for as a
natural consequence.
The colony is just now recovering from the effects of a great mo-
netary panic, and the present is therefore considered an eligible time
for the introduction of such a project, and would have been earlier
brought under the notice of the public, but the promoters waited the
result of their application to her Majesty's Secretary of State fur the
Colonial Department.
This undertaking will necessarily bring into cultivation a vast ad-
ditional quantity of land, and thus stimulate further emigration and
hasten the development of the great and valuable resources of these
important colonies.
The line presents no difficulties of an engineering charreter; on
the contrary, the general basis of 'the country traversed consists of
sandstone, disposed in horizontal strata, easily quarried, affording a
very cheap and excellent building stone. The undulations of the
ground are in general formed by masses of clay, superimposed on
sandstone, strongly impregnated with iron, and occasionally in the
form of pipe-c.ay, gradually increasing in compactness and indura-
tion in a direct ratio with the depth below the surface, whilst land-
springs, which so often embarrass the construction of European rail-
ways, would be scarcely, if ever, encountered in Australia. Timber
and all other necessary materials may be had in abundance at the
mere cost of labour, and good coal at a very moderate price.
From the large amount of traffic which may he expected, and
the smallness of the cost at which the line can be completed, a con-
siderable return may be expected on the capital employed. The
undertaking will open a widely extended field for labour and en-
terprise.
The necessary application will be immediately made to the Legis-
lative Council at Sydney, under the sanction of her Majesty's Home
Government.
The capital will he raised in 50,000 shares of 20/. each, and it is
proposed that a portion shall be resarved for the colonies, in order
to afford an opportunity to the colonists of participating in the un-
dertaking.
A list of the Provisional Directors, and a, more detailed prospectus,
will shortly be published ; in the interim, further information

C. Blunt,

The Committee of Management have determined, with the powers
given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch
from Ludlow to Newtown, which will forna a necessary part of the
Worcester and Port Dynliaen line projected by the Great Westeru
Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital ftom
1,230,000/. to 1,000,0001.
As the new standing order of the House of Lords will require 10
per cetit. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have
also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call en
Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital
into shares of 251., deposit 21. 12s. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre-
sent 50/. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller
number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the
Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them),
or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of
2/. 15e. per share which have been paid up.
All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested
to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th
of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect
to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares
not originally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certifi-
cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and
original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip
,certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional
number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts
aro forwarded by ,post, the letter should be registered at the post-
office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt.
The Shrewsbury and Hereford line will be made in cordial co-
operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companies ; and
the Committee are happy to be able to announce that the surveys are
being actively proceeded with.

Sii, —I hereby transmit scrip certi deates of the Shrewsbury, Here-
ford, and North Wales Railway Company, Nos. , [or a banker's
receipt for shares,] and I desire to have 251.
shares in the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, under-
taking to pay the additional sum required to make a deposit of
2/. 12s. Gd. on each of these shares, and to sign the subscribers'
agreement and Parliamentary contract when required, [or, to receive
back the deposits which have been paid.]
