This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city
of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an eastErly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton,
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor-
chester, to join the' Southampton And Dorchester Railway, and the
other, passing near Bridport harbour, and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.
At Exeter, junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by
means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on refereme to the map, that by forming a junc-
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester
eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication franc Doier to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself
of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of the Government.
Ili fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the
careful Consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as
Will afford the greatest facility of communication to the popUlotts and
important ((Ain* and fashionable watering places which are situated
on and near that nett Of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodatel Whilst, M the same time, the Agri-
ctrl ittali Manufacturing, and ComnlerOittl Interests of this part of
the Kingdotti hate been equally studied.

The following extract from the Report of the Meet Cdninfitte,6 of
the liaise of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weyniolifli Rail-
way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter•
tamed by that body of the importance of a line of railway In the di-
rection proposed by the present Company 1—" In making their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, hid ttfitien •
from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great
Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated
from a eorialdefation of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its doillitriletitlii exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
And also that Weymouth, which will be one Of the tettilini of the
line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and
racket-statiOn, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, iii adeotdatice with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners, for Which porpote a grant was made during the last
session of Parliament for commencing the riot-kit. The additional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, Will
be Vett OnSidersble,
A preliminary survey has been niatle, and there are no peculiar
engineering difficulties. The length of the 'main line, frOnt Exeter tti
percheatex, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exteth•
