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.

At length, on the 20th August last, at a full county meeting at

Ilmtinin -presided over by the High Sheriff, it was unanimously
That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as
well as of the public at large, absolutely requite 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, LI 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 Crediton, 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 Ilatherleigli, thirty miles directly west
from Exeter, and about seventy miles from Falmouth.

The Great Western and Falmouth Junction Railway will corn-
menm near Hatherleigh, and will be about seventy miles in length,
and lbrin 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 Fahnouth ; and in order to pre-
serve the old line of communication from Cornwall to Plymouth, ad-
mitted to be of great local iinportanee, 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 unb, 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 intended that the line shall be the best in engineer-

ing qualities which the natural formation of the country will-allow,
and 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
proposed fur giving to Cornwall the benefits of railway c ,mmunica-
tion, 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." Tte 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-the4l
position of through and integral lines from London to Exeter. Th&

est of England Delow 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 lineon the one hand, the projected North Devon line on the
other, the Exeter and Crediton and its projected extension westward
to Hatherleigh, and the West Cornwall line from Truro to Penzance,
all on the broad gauge, and all projected or supported by the
Gryat 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, safe, 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 of 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 he divided into 50,600 shares of 25/. each, upon
which a deposit of 2/. 12s. 6d. par share must be paid upon the allot-
ment. Power will be taken to 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 he obtained, and then
not beyou I 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 Crediton, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, to be addressed to

68, Old Broad-street, London, Ist Oct. P 45.

The object of this undertaking is to form a direct communication
between the important town and port of Carmarthen, the northern
parts of the county, and Canliganshire, with the rich mineral dis-
tricts in the south and east of Carmarthenshire.

The projected line will join the South Wales, Welsh Midland, Car-
marthen and Cardigan, and Great North and South Wales Railways
at Carmarthen. It will be connected at the Great Mountain with
the Llanelly Railway already constructed to the Cross Hands, and
a eranch will extend into the Gwendraeth Vale to the Colebrook
ironworks, there joining the Itidwelly Canal. It will thus unite
several important railways and other means of communication, and
afford ready transit for the supply of coal and lime to very extensive
districts, the costs of conveying which will be less than the toll pay-
able on the present roads.
The southern terminus of the Great North and South Wales Rail-
way is at Carmarthen, and no provision is made by the promoters for
any communication by it wills the coal and lime fields. These pro-
ducts, before they are conveyed from Carmarthen, must first be
brought to that town.
The South Wales and Welsh Midland Railways describe a ctonsider-
able circuit in communicating, even in an indirect manner, -with the
heart of the mineral districts. The distance from Carmarthen by
each of these lines to the Great Mountain will be about twtmty-five
miles ; the distance by the line now proposed will not exceed. twelve.
It is therefore evident that the immense traffic in coal and lime
between Carmarthen and the mineral districts must be crrrried on
by the intended railway. The line will follow the Vale of 'Towy as
far as Cappeldewy, and then diverge, by way of Porthyrhyd and the
Mansell's Arms, to the coal districts. The branch into the Gwen-
draeth Vale will be two miles long„which, with the trunk] lne, will
snake the whole length to be constructed fourteen miles.
In consequence of the peculiar features of the country, die pro-
posed line can meet with opposition from no other scheme,. as the
bold chain of hills running from east to west to the south of the
Towy are quite impracticable at all other points between Mandilo
and the sea, a distance of twenty-five miles. This line will. follow
the only valley intersecting the hills, which presents the most striking
facilities for constructing a railway a'ong it, as none of the g radients
will exceed I in 100, and there will be no occasion for any tunarelling.
The capital required will be 140,0001. •
_ _ . .

Calculations have been made of the tonnage carried along the pre-
sent roads' and an ample remuneration for the capital investod would
be secured even without increased traffic.

The South Wales, Welsh Midland, Carmarthen and Cetrdigan,
and Great North and South Wales Railways radiate fro: n Car-
marthen to the west, north, and east of the county'; and
the latter lines will open communication with the whole )f Car-
diganshire. All these extensive districts are now mainly
supplied with coal and lime from the vicinity of Carm arthen.
The traffic in these staple commodities is at present very ceansider-
able: as many as 1,000 tons of lime have passed in one day ihrough
a single gate on one of the great thoroughfares into Carm arthen.
With the facility of conveyance afforded by railways, added to the
large extent of country.which will be opened by means of thie lines
alluded to, this traffic will be immensely increased.
The project was first mooted about ten years ago. A meeting was
held at Carmarthen, attended by a large and influential t ody of
gentry, landowners, and merchants. Resolutions were then tmani-
measly adopted approving of the scheme, pointing out its ative snages
to the country and its value as a safe investment. Surveys of the
line were afterwards made, which proved that the gradient: I were
easy, and that the country was free front engineering diffirealties.
Some objections, however, arose, which led to the temporary• aban-
donment of the undertaking ; these carnet again occur. A
large body of influential persons have already signified their a ppro-
bation of the scheme. It will meet with the strenuous support of all
the mineral interests in the localities referred to ; and the autthori-
ties, merchants, and influential residents of Carmarthen, will afford
every support to carry out an undertaking so beneficial to the Jute.
rests of the town and neighbourhood.
The Earl of Cawdor and the other principal landowners on fine pro-
ixoFed line have been consulted, and their consents and approbation
have been obtained.
The corporation of Carmarthen has just had a careful survey of
the river made by an engineer of high standing, with a via w of
effecting material improvements in its navigation It appear: suf-
ficiently evident that, with the outlay of a comparatively :small
sum of money, Carmarthen may be rendered a safe port, Easily
accessible to ships of very considerable tonnage, even at neap t des ;
the great depth of water in Black Pool at ebb tide (24 feet) sap-
plying all the requisites of a wet dock. By improving the river so as
to avoid the intermediate shoals and sinuosities, all difficulty to its
free navigation wri be removed, and with this facility a very :large
export trade will be insured in coal, iron, and other produce of the
country. These improvements (since the prospectus of this Company
was first issued) have been undertaken by the North and South
Wales Railway Company, who have pledged themselves to an effec-
tual construction of the necessary works. Feelingly alive to the inte-
rests of the trade of the town and to the wishes of the corporation,
the Committee of Management have gladly acceded to this arrange-
ment, whereby the objects of all parties will be secured. To the
promoters of this Company this result is highly satisfactory, as by
these means a considerable outlay of their funds will be avoided.
Extensive ironworks are now in operation in the Gwendraeth Vale,
and others on a large scale are about to be erected in the Vale of
Ammon. The stores of coal and lime are inexhaustible : several
important collieries have been lately opened, and are now ready to
pour their teeming wealth into the market, but a want of corn mu-
nieation with the distant districts of this and the adjoining counties
prevents the proprietors reaping the fruit of their enterprise. The
line now proposed, forming a junction at Carmarthen with the great
trunk lines, will afford the accommodation so much desired
Preearations have been made so as to insure compliance with the
'landing orders in time to apply for an Act in the ensuing Session.
The gauge to he adopted will depend upon the report of the Govern-
ment Commissioners.
In order that every attention may be secured to local interests,
arrangements are now being made to add the names of other gentle-
men of property in the county to the provisional committee.*
The liability of the shareholders until the act is obtained will be
limited to the amount of deposits, and after incorporation to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will be taken in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent, per
annum on all Deposits and Calls from the time of payment until the
opening of the line.
Prospectuses and Plans maybe obtained from, and applications for
Shares to be made to the Solicitors and Secretary, and the follow-
ing Brokers, Messrs. Price and Brown, 4, Change-alley, London.
No application for Shares will be attended to unless with a satis-

The many and hnportant.commercial advantages presented by a
junction line of railway between the north and south of Ireland, give
the promoters of the projected line from Athlone to Sligo, with a
branch to Ballina, the most unqualified confidenm in its success.
. The proposed line, as regards both public interest and private
speculation, will very much surpass any other that has been pro-
jected from Sligo to Dublin—first uniting with the Dublin and Galway
at Athlone, it will pass in a direct line to Sligo, having a branch to
Ballina, thereby affording railway communication to the great fair
and market towns in the counties of Roscommon, Mayo, and Sligo,
and terminating at the important seaport and garrison town of Sligo,
where it will also unite with tree line to Enniskillen, and thus form a

junction between the northern, southern, and western lines, opening
a continuous and the most direct railway communication between
the great commorcial and manufacturing towns of the province of
Ulster, and the cities of Cork, Limerick, Waterford, and Kilkenny,
and with Galway, and the other large towns and seaports in the
south-east and west of Ireland, and also giving to the counties of
Sligo, Mayo, and Roscommon. a line of railway to the metropolis.
The Athlone and Sligo Junction will receive the full support of the
Directors of the Great Southern and Western, and the Dublin and
Galway Railway Companies. Forty miles of the Great Southern and
Western Railway from Dublin to Portarlington are nearly completed,
and will be opened to the public in June next.

At this adianced period of the year the difficulty of corffidying
strictly with the standing orders of Parliament renders it advisable
to undertake, in the first instance, hut one division of the line, viz.,
that from Athlone to Roscommon, bein, a distance of twenty English
miles ; for which purpose a capital of no more than 200,0001. will be
required.
The line from Athlone to Sligo is but seventy-two miles in length.
It will pass through or near the towns of Knockeroghery (at which
the second largest sheep fair in Ireland is held), Athleague, Mount
Talbot, Rathgar, Roscommon (one of the largest inland markets in
Ireland), Lanesborongh, Elphin, Croghan (celebrated fair town),
Freuchpark, Boyle, Casticrea, Ballaghadereen, Ballyrnote, Tabkr-
corry, Colooney, Ballisodare, to Sligo. The preliminary surveys
have been made, and the engineer, Sfr John Macneill, reports very
favourably upon the gradients and facilities of construction.
Advantages so important as those referred to cannot fail of giving
the greatest encouragement to a line or railway which must, from
passenger traffic alone, return an ample per tentage on the outlay of
capital. _

It should also be borne in mind that the proposed junctiox line
will not only give to the north of Ireland direct and immediate rail-
way communication with the south, east, and west, but will
wise open to the great manufacturing towns of Scotland similar at-
comm,,dation.

Railways having the advantage of foreign traffic as an auxiliary,
are always the most profitable—no projected line could be more op-
portunely circumstanced in that respect than the proposed Grand
Junction, forming, as it will, a link between the northern and
southern railways, It must, independently of local resources, have a
corstant stream of passenger traffic from the parent lines at either
end, and eventually be found one of the most profitable, as well as
the most useful, undertakings in Ireland. .
Few lines of railway are possessed of greater local advantages.
Sligo, a considerable and rising seaport town on the N. W. coast at
the one extreme, supplies the whole of the interior, as far as Athlone,
with the products of the western world. Its fisheries and that of
the neighbouring coast are am,,ng,the best in Ireland. The salmon
fishery at Ballina, and the deep sea-fishing of Sligo and Inver Bays
would alone yield considerable revenue. Athlone, at the other

terminus, is a garrison town of the greatest importance, in the very-
centre of Ireland, from whence it must be an object to have railway
communication with the garrisoi -a of Boyle and Sligo ; there cannot
therefore be a doubt of the line obtaining the entire support of the
Government.

Roscommon Is one of the Most fertile counties in Ireland ; it
abounds in agricultural and mineral produce, and has a population of
253,591 inhabitants. Its great fairs ate well known—their staple,
the finest horses, horned cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the United King-
dom, will be conveyed by this line to the Dublin and English mar-
kets ; and while the farmers will thus have a ready and cheap means
of transport for his stock to the best markets, he will, in like manner,
be enabled to supply himself with young stock from the fairs of the
south, east, and west. Large quantities of bacon are cured annually
in the towns of Roscommon, Castlerea, Boyle, &c., and it only re-
quires the advantage of railway communication to develop the many
industrial resources of the county.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Iteigate.

It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead,
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-placea
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.

Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
session. • _

The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer-
cantile traffic that the line will command, leaves no doubt of an
ample return for the investment of capital.

The Committee of Management of the above RCompany, being de-
Alrous of affording every accommodation to the public and the im-
portant towns in the district through which the above railway Avill
pass, have determined to extend their line from Grantham to Siert-
ford. The line of country between those towns has been carefully
surveyed, and will be formed at a moderate cost, and does not inter-
fere with any ornamental property. The surveys and plans are in a
