The undertaking combines the advantages of both the British and
the foreign railwny system, free from their several defects.
1. The law authorising its construction will be passed by the States
of Jersey, and confirmed by the Privy Council, without the interven-
tion of the British Parliament, thus avoiding the cost, risk, and delay
of compliance with the standing orders of the two Houses, and of a
prolonged Parliamentary inquiry and opposition.
2. The line will be vested in the Company in perpetuity, and not,
as iu foreign lines, for a mere term of years. There will be no ri-
valry of competing companies, rendering it necessary to propose the
lowest possible terms, as the promoters have received such assurances
of support as warrant them in entertaining the most confident expec-
tations of obtaining a most favourable grant from the States in the
course of the present year.
3. The traffic, which has been recently taken, is unusually large,
and there is every reason to believe that a return of 14 per cant. on
the outlay may be calculated upon, as theworks will be unusually
light and inexpensive, and the landowners favourable. When it is
considered that the port of St. Helier ranks the sixth in the United
Kingdom, and that this undertaking will command the greater part of
the traffic to this country, as well as to St. Malo and France, the
time occupied on the passage to and from England being thus re-
duced from 17 to seven hours, it is clear that the passenger and light
goods' traffic must be at once unusually large, and susceptible of very
considerable increase. Arrangements will be made for ensuring a
cheap and improved communication between Southampton, Wey-
mouth, Torquay, and Plymouth, within the time specified.
No subscriber will be liable beyon4the amount of his shares, and
four per cent. will be allowed on deposits and calls till the completion
of the works. For further particulars the public is referred to the
_ _

prospectuses, which may be obtained of the Secretary, F. Struve,
Esq., 1, Gray's Inn-square, and Messrs. Carden and Whitehead,
Threadneedle-street, London, and S. Woods, Jun., Liverpool, to whom
applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a reference,
are to be made.
