PROSPECTUS.

The object of the proposediindertaking is to unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, a forming a ,Thrt.Of the
great integral scheme for making the best direct railway comunica-
Bon from the metropolis, through Exeter t o the important seaports and
harbours in the British Channel, as v;ell as completing the chain
of south coast communication from the y sorts of Dover, POrtsmouth,
and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth,, and Falmouth.
Between Yeovil and Westlsury, the Wilts, Sonnerset; and Wey •
mouth Railway will form the main lint of cenimunicittion, at which
latter place it will join a proposed exterision of the Berke and Hants
Railway from •Ilungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as
shown more distinctly in theaccom panyiug plan. The Berks and
Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and. Weymouth Bills have already
passed, and those lines are under con struction. Tlie Great Western
Railway Company will apply :or the extension from Hungerford to
Westbury,'only thirty-five mile's, in the approaching session. -
The line of the Exeter Great Weste an Railway is intended to com-
mence at a distance of about three rai lee 'lrom Exeter, by a junction
with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed-
ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the
Talley of the Axe at Axminster. Fr ani that plcce, the main line, in
one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within
about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect
with the main line bY aushart branch), and through- Crewkerrie,
,to-
wards Yeovil, near to which town ittorill join the Wilts, Somerset,
and li'Veymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
Other direction, will proceed near .to Lyme Regis, arid thence to
Vridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway, leading towards Dorchest tr and the coast line to South-
ampton. - . •• •

It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Great Western
Railway Company, under a lease, as, in the case of the Wilts, Somer-
set, and Weymouth Railway ;in cc- ,nsideration et' which, ie Great
Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the
proprietors four per cent. per arum n upon the paid-up capital, with
an increase of one-half per cent., it i proportion to any dividend of one
per cent. upon their own stock, e acceding eight per cent., which in-
crease shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great
Western Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and
the Great Western Railway Company ,are to become responsible for:
all the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained
within the two next sessions Of Parliament.

The capital will be raised in 2,5,000 shares of 501. each, upon which
a deposit of 51. per shara will b e paid upon subscriptions, and no
further call will be made prevics 'sly to obtaining the Act of Incor-
poration.
Interest at four per cent. per :annum will be allowed, after the Act
shall have passed, on the deposit and on all paid-up calls during the
construction •of the line, and 7antil the dividends are provided for,
under the guarantee of the Great Western Railway Company.
The notices are already given, and the plans and books of re-
ference will be deposited In time for the Act to be applied for at the
meeting of Parliament. If the tct should not be obtained, as before
mentioned, the deposit will be pa Id back to the proprietors, but with-
