Mr. Samuel Walter, Chard

Mr. J. F. Knight, Axminster.

The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail-
way for passengers, goods, and commercial, mining, and agricul.
tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol
Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and
provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro-
duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain
passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the
intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail-
way communication.

The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from
Watchet to Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp, and by
Ilminster to Chard, and by Crewkerne and Beaminster to Bridport
harbour. A branch will proceed out of the line, about mid-way
between ‘Vatchet and Taunton, directly to Wiveliscombe. All
these towns and their neighbourhoods are populous and opulent,
and many of them very much so, and the localities are remarkable
for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident gentry.
At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the North Devon
Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will
enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence
proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will
unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the
Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line
to Bridport Harbour.
It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter
about two miles west or Crewkerne.
The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im-
portant object. lateect tut.ensnuireV,eztsrw.rerei successively made for e
ship canal by the Mr.
Telford, and other scientific
men, who concurred in the importance a work in a na.
tional point of view„,; the design was maturedsucahn 18114 an Act
of Parliament was passed; and it stands recorded

Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the e ;:e.4lllra
it:lff
canal would rd a
remuneration to the subscribers of 161,i per cent, on 1,71'2,844/.

The sum required for this work, being so much less than that
for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased
population, and the present vast commercial energies of the
country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this
railway at Mr less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford
and Captain Nichols formed their opinion. •
The intended-
.fine front Minehead to Bragewater, will meet
p.l cross this line near Watcher,

--
No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve
the purposes which this important and favoured line will serve.
The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed-
ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort—
Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and
Linton, hitnehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol
Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county
town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading
town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its
surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the
north, is through Taunton.
A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected.

The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac-
tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water-power,
and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam-
power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this
railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of
South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors
of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. _

The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for
manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales ;
the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended
with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of
high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the
markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the
north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton,
Ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Enid.
port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected
by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry
goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those
towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of
communication with other lines of railroad.

The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months
is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un.
certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate
such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas-
sage, and mere than compensate for the charges attending reship-
ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of
Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam.
engines, steam-boats, and other purposel.
The harbour of Bridport admits vessels at spring.tides of 350
tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp,
Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, and nu.
merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted
to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax
and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth,
sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought
would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to
other railways.
The harbour of Watchet, at spring.tides, admits vessels of 200
tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade
with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New-
port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other
provisions, cattle, sheep, salt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles
of merchandise ; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour
regularly and exclusively; one trading with Liverpool. It has
also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol,
and employs therein several vessels regularly
Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and
belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the
increased wants of the community.

The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important
trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway
will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity.
The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime
of the most celebrated description, both for water-works and ex-
terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele-
brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast;
and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills,
paper mills, and clothing mills.
The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten-
sive goods traffic.
It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station
either for Ireland or South Wales; nor does this measure require
such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of
Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be
made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious• that
the railway in actual progress from the Government Dock-yard
at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bris-
tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland :
Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe (50miles west of Watchet),
and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular
steam packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place,
all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and
for a great length, at low water, the shores being very flat, and to
construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to
land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable,
cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either of
them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be
The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port

of Ilfracombe and its packets.
A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported
that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any
park.
It affords great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to
announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con-
sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that
it will receive their support.

The neighbouring landowners and gentry are favourable to the

measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and
Bridport, as well as the principal coal proprietors in South Wales,
and all persons throughout the line, entertain a high opinion of its
merits, and earnestly desire it.
Many extensive landowners on the line, whose names do not
appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them-
selves as friends to the measure.
The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will
be limited to the amount of subscriptions, and interest at four
per cent. will be paid on all calls from the time of payment until
the opening of the line.
An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual
Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe-
cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing
and maintaining a direct line of railway between the towns of
Liverpool and Derby, by proceeding from an independent terminus
at Liverpool, or on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, diverg-
ing in a direct course to Warrington, Knutsford, thence to Congle-
ton, Leek, Ashbourne, by Brailsford and Langley, to Derby, thus
affording railway accommodation (the want of which has for some
considerable time been most seriously felt) to four large interme-
diate manufacturing towns, and completing a direct communica-
tion to Ireland, Liverpool, and the north-west of England, from
Nottingham, Grantham, and the Eastern ports of Boston, Lynn,
and Yarmouth ; as also (in conjunction with the Midland Coun.
ties Railway) from Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Stam.
ford, Peterborough, Ely, and Cambridge; and forming, by the
intended Churnet and Blythe Valley Railway, the most direct line
of communication between Liverpool and London.
The importance of the different towns through which this rail-
way will pass, is sufficient to oonvince all parties that on public
grounds alone it is absolutely necessary; and that the immense local
traffic not only justifies but demands its formation, independently of
the great accession which must necessarily follow, from the advan.
tages wt.ich will be given to the several towns and ports above-
enumerated, and to the various ports south-east of Derby, in opening
to them the grand commercial depot and port of Liverpool.
The necessity of establishing the most direct railway communi-
cation between the towns of Liverpool and Derby is self-evident,
from the fact of the enormous traffic which at present exists under
the most disadvantageous circumstances ; the nearest communica-
tion by railway being 120 miles, whilst, by the construction of the
proposed line, the entire distance will be reduced to about 73 miles,
opening at the same time the shortest practicable route between
Liverpool, Manchester, and London.
It would be superfluous, in reference to a line presenting so many
extraordinary advantages, to encumber the prospectus with details
of estimated traffic; for, independent of Its possessing the great
desideratum of directness, the present local trade, it is well known,
will produce a return that evidently must surpass that of any other
scheme which has hitherto been projected.
It may further be mentioned, as worthy of consideration, that
the proposed line, which must necessarily form a " Great Trunk
line," interferes with no existing railway, presents no engineering
difficulties, and requires no works to cause any delay in its com-
pletion.
Power will be taken by the Act of Parliament to allow in-
terest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line; and no subscriber will be answerable for
more than the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and
then not beyond his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs of the Corn.
pany will be under the direction and control of the Committee of
Management. Power will be applied for in the Act—and, in the
meantime, is hereby given to the Committee of Management—to
increase the proposed capital, if necessary ; to abandon any part of
the line; to make branch lines, or enter into arrangements with
any other company or companies; and to nominate the first Direc-
tors of the Company. In the allotment of shares a preference will
be given to all parties locally interested, and shareholders in the
different railways communicating with the line.
Application for prospectuses, maps, and shares, in the form sub-
joined, may be made to F. W. Mount, Esq., solicitor, 10, Law-

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
and important objects :—first, the supply of the metropolis and its
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre-
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic, to diminish the risk of accidents, which objects can only be
attained by constructing a railway for the express purpose of carry-
ing coals and merchandise exclusively.
The expenses of the London and Birmingham Railway for 1844
(set forth in the prospectus of this Company), prove that coal
may be brought the entire distance from the Northern Col
lieries to London at one-half the cost of coal conveyed by ship, and
yet leave a profit of ten per cent. upon a capital of 5,000,0001., and
this is also satisfactorily ascertained, by calculations more directly
referring to the Coal Railway itself.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company. It ir,
moreover, clearly to be shown that the supply of coal to be ob.
tained by means of the Coal Railway, in neighbourhoods where
the price has hitherto been so great, will effect a reduction in some
places of one-half, and in others two thirds of the former rates.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
25/. each ; deposit 2/. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of the
railway,
The Committee of Management have the satisfaction to state,
that owing to the measures that have been taken, the surveys, &c.,
are in a very forward state, and that the necessary documents will
be deposited in accordance with the standing orders of Parliament,
and application made for the Bill in the approaching session.
Prospectuses, with fuller information and in detail, together
with Forms of Application, may be obtained on applying to the

The Committee, with the view of enabling responsible
parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) to secure
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them as a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the disposition of 100,000 shares, after which the bankers
of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further prelimi •
nary deposits.

The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Cosa-
inittee caution the public not to negotiate such receipts, as their
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as the
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request that each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege will state,
in his application, the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.

PRELIMINARY NOTICE.

The line of railway which is now proposed for adoption is a
material link in the general railroad system, not only as connecting
the city of Salisbury with the county town of Dorsetshire and the
seaport and watering-place of Weymouth, but as an essential com-
pletion of the channel of communication from the whole of the
northern, midland, and north-eastern counties to the coast of
Dorset.

The Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Company (already
incorporated by Act of Parliament,) the Exeter, Dorchester, and
Weymouth Junction Coast Railway, and the Rugby, Swindon, and
Weymouth Direct Junction Railway (both now in projection), will
supply ample means of transit between Dorchester and Weymouth ;
but the city of Salisbury, in which many lines from the east, north,
and west, are proposed to converge, requires the railway now sug-
gested as a natural extension of " The Oxford and Salisbury Direct
Railway," at present before the public. These two lines would thus
become powerful adjuncts to each other. _ .

Commencing at Salisbury, it is proposed to proceed, in a slightly
eurYed line by or near to Cranborne, to Blandford, and thence, by or
near to Bere-Regis and Piddletown, to Dorchester, a distance in the
whole of about forty-five miles. A grand trunk line of railway, from
the northern districts of Great Britain to the coast of Dorset, will by
this means.' be perfected ; and the market-towns of Crunborne, Bland.
ford, and Bere-Regis, and the Parliamentary borough of Dorchester,
will also be furnished with railroad accommodation.

The experience of the last few years has abundantly proved that
the railwa; system must advance as a matter of indispensable neces-
sity. The hitherto partial operation of that system, whilst it has
afforded unparalleled and unexpected facilities to the transactions of
business in all its branches, to domestic and friendly intercourse,
and to the indulgence of rational enjoyment and recreation, by ex-
peditious and ec,mosnical means of transit, in those directions and lo-
calities in which it prevails, has to a most inconvenient extent pro-
duced difficulties in other districts formerly sufficiently supplied with,
but now deprived of, the means of posting and mail and stage-coach
travelling. The conveyance of goods is obstructed by simlar
obstacles ; it having been found much cheaper to adopt the transit
by the nearest railroad, however circuitous in its route, and though
remote in its most proximate junction, than to resort to the former
means of traffic, which have consequently ceased to exist. It
would perhaps be difficult to point out a district in England to
which these remarks more properly apply than the tract of country
now proposed to be traversed from Salisbury to Blandford and Dor-
chester.

A prospectus, with a map of the line, and the names of a powerful
Provisional Committee, will very shortly be published. In the mean-
time, further information may be obtained trom Messrs. Elmslie and
Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, the solicitors to the under-
taking ; or the Secretary, Z. Ilubbersty, Esq., at the office of the

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda-
tion, through an independent channel, to all the principal towns in
Buckinghamshire, and to many In the other counties through which
the projected line is to run, hitherto destitute of this now indispen-
sable mode of transit.
The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail-
way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro-
spectus as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity,
receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profit.
From this arrangement it must be obvious to every one that the
monopoly- of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a
principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and
the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment
of the 4/. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands.
In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of
the London and Birmingham Company, together with a considerable
portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to
a mere extension of the older company, and confers on the latter the
means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse-
quently the profits, of the projected line ; so that the reservation as
to the surplus profits in truth amounts to nothing.
The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the
London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the
necessity of a railway communication through the country proposed
to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of their monopoly,
to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interested
the benefits of an independent line, the present Company has been
formed, and has met nith the strenuous support of many landed pro-
prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto
withheld their co-operation from the Buckinghamshire Railway
Company for the reasons enumerated.

The line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley
of Clut?lont, to Amersham and Wenduver, and thence to Aylesbury,
by Winslow, to Buckingham., It will take a course from thence
through 13rockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to
Birminghaw, having the advantage of being the shortest route
hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.
Applications sir shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the
Secretary, at thf! temporary Offices of the Company, or to Messrs.
Edward Ellis and Co,, Sharebrokers, 53, Thretalneedle-street.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route,
the important town and seaport of Bestow with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swinlshead,!Donington, Felkingliam, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of
great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the counts
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Rutlandshire, 'Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.

It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will De
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.

In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unneces-
sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those
wherein reference is made to a member of are Provisional Commit-
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrokers,

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it Incumbent en them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gem e
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are In appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all
climates. _ _
