of land which lies between the Red Cow turnpike-gate
on the Cowley-bridge-road and Sandy-point, on the east
side of the Exe. The site of the terminus is very beautiful,
commanding a very extensive view on each side of the road.
At Cowley- bridge the line takes a sweep, which carries it to
Rewe, through a deep cutting. It then leaves the Valley of
the Exe to pursue the Valley of Culm as far as Collumpton,
where it leaves the river, and reaches the Tiverton-road
station, about fourteen miles from Exeter and four from
Tiverton. There is an intermediate station at Hele, about
nine miles from Exeter. At the Tiverton-road, station it
takes the Vale of Holicombe to the White Ball Tunnel, join-
ing the road, which has been for some time open, at Beam-
bridge. Every inch of the way from that place to Exeter is
through the richest and most fertile part of the beautiful
county of Devon. By the opening of this line there is now
an uninterrupted communication, westward from London, of
194 miles, 118 of which belong to the Great Western Com-
pany'_„. the remaining 76 miles being the length of the Bristol
and Exeter line. The whole line exhibits the usual charac-
teristics of Mr. Brunel's consummate skill—substantial works
and first-class gradients. The principal engineering diffi-
culty encounted being in that part of the line opened yester-
day—the White Ball Tunnel.
At about 1 o'clock the special train from Bristol, bringing
the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, arrived at
