PROSPECTUA.

The Bill for making a railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and
the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejected by Par-
liament,.and the projected South Devon Railway. from Exeter tO
Plymouth pursuing only a winding and precarious course along the
margin of the Southern Channel, the great area of Devonshire west
of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti-
tute of railway accemm dation.
The otgect of the present undertaking is to provide an efficient sys-
tem of railway communication for the whole of this Western Penin-
sula ; and as the waste of capital and timer Involved in the circuitous
route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens-
able feattire'of the project will be to obtain the most direct, punctual,
and economical line between London, Falmouth, and Penzance. As
far as Exeter, that. project is already in the hands of the " London
and South-Western," the " London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction,"
and the " Yeovil, Dorchester, and Exeter" Companies. It was this
Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords,
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the present session, obliged
the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to
oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line which
the best interests of the country require, and which must eventually
be carried direct to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the
Channel."
;Under these auspices, and with this strong expression from the
Legislature, it may be considered that a continuous line of railway,
from London, through Salisbury, to Yeovil and Exeter, no less than
thirty miles shorter than the devious course of the Great Western
Railway, is already morally secured. In order, therefore, to com-
plete this great national project thus suggested by the House of
Lords, it remains only to extend this direct Exeter line, without
change of gauge or terminus, direct to Falmouth and Penzance.

COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT IN LONDON.
The Marquis of WINCHESTER, Chairman.
Hon. W3I. ASHLEY, Deputy Chairman.

The saving in actual distance thus effected, between London and
Falmouth, as compared with the Great Western and its extensions,
amounts to more than fifty miles; whilst the time also saved by
avoiding the passage of the Hamoaze to say nothing of all other
difficulties involved in that project, was estimated, in the recent in-
quiry before Parliament, as equal to a saving of fifteen or twenty
miles more.

Bearing in mind, therefore, the geographical position of Falmouth
and Penzance, especially the great advantages of the former, as the
most Westernly station for our naval and packet service, and as af-
fording a most secure harbour of refuge in the event of war; and re-
membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to
the Mediterranean, the East and West Indies, and America, the im-
portance to the Admiralty and Lloyd's, of such a direct railway, with
a continuous and efficient electric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated.
The central district from Exeter, westward, has been rocently re-
surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good
locomotive gradients, attainable without engineering difficulties, and
at a reasonable expense ; the general course being near or through
Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okeharnpton, Launces-
ton, Camelford, Bodmin, St. Columb, St. Austell, (by means of a
branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an extension
line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, Redruth,
Camborne, Hayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Maranon, and Pen-
zance.

Tills extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu-
lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently
rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that
district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as
the constructing and working this line by a separate compal y would
be produc,ive of unnecessary expense and inconvenience to the public,
the line to Penzance, as well as to Falmouth, will form an integral
portion of the main work under one and the same management.
From Truro, eastward, the main line will pass several important
mines • and near Bodinin will throw out a branch through the China
clay district to St. Austell, an:: its populous mining neighbourhood.
It will als,avail itself of the railways now in process of construction
from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern ‘.;hannel ;
whilst connexion with the already constructed railway from Both
min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best
communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London.
Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur of establishing a traffic
with the well-known Dela ole Slate Quarries on the onc hand, and the
flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by
the Rude :lanal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood
of Launceston, will form the suldect of most considerable transport
into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east-
ward.
Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from
the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral
produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which
are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by
Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica-
tion bet Neen those towns and Exeter. This branch being also
accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn-
wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter
than the lately projected line across the Hamoaze from Plymouth to
Falmouth. Should the traffic, nevertheless, bo found to justify an-
other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply-
mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed.
Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be
joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn-
staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth,
Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two
lines is now under consideration, thus affording to these two friendly
companies a direct communication from north to south, from the
Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com-
mon trunk, on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at
Exeter.
The inspection of a map will better show the importance of this
comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and
Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give Hill value and effect
to objects of such importance.
The supply and demand created by this large area,—its population,
amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan-
nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan-
tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—its probable con-
sumption of Coal, Manure, Mining and general supplies,—were fully
gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly-
require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The
general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune-
rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably
be expected from a well-digested system of Branches; and when the
further increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, is
taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing
Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and Penzance, with its
much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me-
tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can
possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi-
cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular
form of the county of Cornwall, this line, when established, can have
no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a
very eligible opportunity for the investment of capital.
The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public
meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall
and West Devon ; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants,
Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : thenumerous
and strong assurances of support already received from the landowners
and general interests along the line ; and the hearty concurrence
and co-operation of the Associated Companies, whose names will
appear in the Provisional Committee ;—leave no doubt of the suc-
cessful issue of the application which will be made to Parliament in
the next session.
The Act to be applied for will contain the usual clauses for limiting
the liabilities of shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions,
and for allowing interest at 41. per Cent. per annum, on all Calls,
from the time of payment until the opening of the line.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of
making such alterations in the Main Line, or Branches, and also of
entering into such arrangements for the construction of those
Branches, by Auxiliary Companies, as may be deemed advisable.
The Deposit will be payable on the allotment of the Shares. It
is intended to proceed to an early allotment, giving a preference to
local applicants, and to the Shareholders in the above-named Asso-
ciated Companies.
The usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract
must be executed by the Shareholders when called upon.
Applications for Shares in the form annexed, (accompanied by a
satisfactory reference,) should be addressed to the Solicitors ; of
whom, and at the above-meutioned Banks, Copies of the Prospectus
may be obtained.

Capital 250,0001., in 10,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit 21. tOs. per Share.
In eonsequence of the numerous representations made to this Com-
pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from
Salisbury to Poole, through Wimborne, the Committee, incompliance
with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this
irnport•-nt object.
The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Downton
and by Fordingbriege, will proceed on to Whaborne Minster, and
there joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, will com-
plete the direct communication to Poole.
A survey of the country has been made, and the Committee are
enabled to state that the report of the engineers is highly satisfactory,
The minute anti careful estimates of the traffic which have al-
ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital
nece:isary for the underielling ; anti as the line will be constructed
:mud worked under the management of the Committee of this Corn-
pant , a m.mterial saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected.
'l'ime capital to be raised for this purpose will be 2'50.0001., which
will he divided into 10,0 0 shares of 2 I. each.

That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a
General Meeting of the-Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be. adverse to. the introduc-
tion of railways into tho island, and that a committee of gentlemen
vraS at the same time appointed to watch the proceedings of the
railway projectors; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial landed proprietors through whose estates the railways-would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for,

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of
the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre-
sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon
Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth
traffic to London round by Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the
Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter-
minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be
most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has
Upon Yarmouth are confined 'to the communication with Norwich
and the western and north-western districts. A very large traffic
exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth,
Barlestone, and Dias ; and also between all those important towns
lad Miry St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To
reapply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar-
Month Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between
Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles.
It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near
to Yarmouth-bridge as practictble. The line will communicate with
the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without
transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex-
pense. This railway will run to the town of Beccles, thence to Bun-
gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Hiss, commu-
nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by
means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms-
fbrd, and London. At Dies the railway will be within three miles
of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad-
vantageously constructed. In its course to Beccles it will cross the
Lowestoft and Reedham line, and will afford the shortest communi-
cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main
line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales-
worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district
through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the
line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley
is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces
large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very large
portion of the barley is malted at Harlestone, Halesworth, Bungay,
and Beccles, and supplied to the large London brewers.
The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any
port. in the kingdom, the average being yearly 435,690 quarters.
70,000 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im-
ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district.
There are 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of
60,376, belonging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter
that port.
Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and
200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex-
ceeds half a million of money.
In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em-
ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c.,
the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing
banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com-
modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap
and good fish, it may coatidently be expected that the immediate
and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will
be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that
large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to
avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the
metropolis.
. .

An immense quantity of live stock is cent from the district of this
railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made.
Must pass upon it.
Yarmouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the
eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected.
to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and
many others of a first 'class are now in course of building.
The trade on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to

being twenty-four miles shorter than the route by the present 'Norfolk
Railway.
The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it may be
fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased
by increased trade (particularly in fish, cattle, and grain), when
the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are
developed to a country hitherto unaccommodated with such ad-
vantages.
The line has been carefhlly surveyed, and no engineering difficulty
presents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily.
The Waveney Valley forms a natural level channel without a single
impediment ; and where the line leaves the valley the euttings are
not heavy, and arc required for the necessary embankments in the
lower lands.
This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and
approval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is
now the universal opinion that this line is absolutely required by the
district, and that without it the trade of this portion of the country
will materially suffer, and consequently the value of property be
depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to
which the great advantages of railway communication have been
granted.
Provision will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest
on the deposit and calls until the line is constructed.
Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the
valley through which the line passes.

The object of thin undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the naetrapolis, and connecting them also with the Northern and'
Raatern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Bina:lngham
Railway, near Harrow, and pii.S.sing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesharu to
hlhatenden and Weudover, and thence to 'Aylesbury; front which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a J unction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, uear,Banbury.
In addition to the line above described, It Is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the' central' statiOn of the London and Bin
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and LondOn and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the constructiyn of a line from Wolverton to }Wester)
is amalgamated with this company. •
Accurate surveys of the cotiotry have been taken by Mr. Robert.
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction "and support of
a very large proportion of the Sobilify, Gentry, and Proprietor' of
land through or near whose pr petty It if, intended to pass.
It is proposed that these tines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and Superintendence •of the London and
Birmingham Railway company ; tinder a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surphis profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in each proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordehire-.Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
*flinch as may be required for parties having local interests.

Szcarrenv (pro tem.)—Mr. George Upton.
It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao,
the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great marts of trade,
and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to
lay down such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may he approved
of by the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English
There Is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra-
dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant anpply of water-
power, so that there will be an entire saving of fuel. It is estimated
that the cost of this line will not exceed 50,0001. ; and, when it is
considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and
the conveyance of goods between< the chief port and the capital of
Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the undertaking will he one of
unusual profit.
Should the operations of the Cowan,' be confined to the line be-
tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be sailed
for than may be sufficient to construct that line.
Applications fll,r shares with reference to be made to the iecrettry,

The objct ,of this Comp n‘ i, to tt•ritablisit t railway torn London
to Exeter direct, thron;:it :,alisbury and other considerable towns
hitherto ileprAved of that pit ii improvement ufthe age.
The moat important vet., of this undertakin,g will be,
that it ttiil establish an uninteriapt,4, direct, and speedy communi-
cation between the metropoli, ;old our largest maritime ports—Ply-
mouth and ralmouth—and tlto, form An immediate transit to the ex-
treme.part of the west of En:Jand.
To the shipliing interest, both at Wine and abroad, this facility
will be of. the utmost importance, awl, if war should unfortunately
arise, the adrantages,of Stith a line arc evident.
The Comthittee feel the irgortanee.of the duty bitposeil upon them,
and rely with con.ddence nnrthe success of the undertaking, poFar.sa-
Mg, as it does. fhe strongest el for support, whether as a perma•
non and judicious invcstutent of C.Apttal, great national un-
dertalting. It is not intended to comment on the • earl.. railway
schemes partially afi'veliie,4 the Hoe the Cummitttee propose bbotild
be adopted, further thou i,t ..I,OIT, that wote of theta have been
based upon a sufficiently ~,mprettensive, view to allied " a direct
organic communication ' with the metropolis; and it is apparent
that an entire line, under the management of one Company, is tar
preferable to any other commmileation 110‘, ilVailitbit3 or projected.
This line-of railway .is offered to the pnblic as affording not only an
independent and direa intercourse between tile metropolis, Exeter,
and the various hoportant tiyttllg 1.111‘..11 it, hot effect a saving o f
thirty miles and upwards in the circuitous and expensive route by
Bristol.

The opinion of Sir Robert Peel is particularly applicable to this pro-
ject,—that.the tendeney of the improvements m hicb are almost daily
introduced, was decidedly in savour of the shortest and most direct
lines ; and it is de,erving of remark, that when the Wilts and Somer-
set Railway Bill (which has lately received she Royal sanction) was
before Parliament; its projectors were required to pledge themselves
that they should not offer hereafter any impediment to a direct line
to Falmouth, being precisely such an undertaking as the one now
proposed, thereby proving the importance attached by Parliament to
direct comuntuleations, and- the London and York having obtained
the Function of the !louse of Commons to their BUI, after a prolonged
opposition, shows the weight attached to direct independent railways.
It is proposed that this railway shall take its course between the
Great Western and the South Western as far as Kitugsclere,—though
it will not In any way interfere with those lines,—and is the course
actually suggested by the Board of Trade, in its 4th report, sec. 42,
by which an opening was made in this very line—stating that there
Is nothing In the present settlement of existing railways to prevent a
shorter or competing line to Exeter, being brought forward.
The Direct London and Exeter Company Intend to form their ter-
minus in the most emtral part of London which can be obtained. It
will be hi the immediate vicinity of Sloane-street and Knightsbridge.
It is also Intended that this Company shall join the railway pro-
jected to cross the Thames; and thus effect an immediate connexion
with a central terminus at flungerford-bridge.

From the London terminus the line will branch oft to or near
Hammersmith, Turnliam Green, Brentford, Islewerth, Hounslow,
Staines, Egham, Bagshot, Ascot, Bracknell, Binneld, Wokinginun,
Kingsclere, Andover, and Salisbury ; Shaftesbury, Sherbourne,
Yeovil, Crewkerne, Axminster (or from Salisbury to Cranbournc,
Blandford, Dorchester, Bridport, Axminster), and Honiton, to Exeter.
The lino chosen was nearly the one adopted by the Romans ; and
as they, whenever practicable, adopted the straight line, the Com-
mittee intend, as nearly as
_possible, following their example. This
road was also the old mail-coaeh line, until the circuitous course of
the Great Western, in the infancy of railway travelling, diverted the
traffic trona... .

. .
The line of.this railway will pass through Staines, as before ob-
served; .and. it it proposed to form a branch to Windsor, it being re.
presented .010 that mode. of immediate communication with the
metropolts..wilLbe most COligenial.to the wishes of the inhabitants of
that town and ltd .vicinity.. The Committee are therefore desirous
of accomplishing that object, and invite the immediate and active
co-operation of the landholders and inhabitants of Windsor to this
port of their scheme espectllly.
To the Sporting world also, this undertaking otters a desideratum,
which has long been felt ; it is calculated the number of persons an-
nually visiting- Ascot and ng,lenn •Itaces exceeds Two hundred and
Fifty- Thousand. This line will pass In the immediate vicinity of
these race-courses ; and near Ascot a handsome and commodious
station will Ahe •erected for the accommodation of the public.
It is proposed that the present Company should convey a variety
of heavy goods, iron, coals, ['rota place to place, far which se-
parate trains will b 0 allotted r and in consequetice of the great com-
plaints made, - and the unwilliwness shown by other companies, ILIA
the neeessey there is f.w the adoption of some measures for further
se eerity against. afsadents, which have- become so prevalent, intend
to have lirs4age vans before and at 'the end of each train. and no
engine behind for propelling, under any pretence whatever.
Th-. traffic tables which are now in course of preparation will
when completed, be published, hut thorn tho official- returns, and
other sources which have come Within the committee's cognizance,
A very amide Interest air the 'capital necessary for this undertaking
is shown. ant as the traffic the great aceommodation this
railway will 'mord to every description of property in the district
through which it will pass, will be greatly inereased, so also will be
the Iluaneial returns. .

The rejection of the Bill before Parliament of the Plymouth and
Falmouth Line, induces the Committee to propose an immediate ex-
tension of the direct line from Exeter to Falmouth. Prospectuses
for this extension will he published as- soon as the plans and surreys
are matured, and In the allotment of shares for this part of the line,
preference will he given to the original holders of shares in the
"Direct Loudon and Exeter Company," and the landowners on the
Falmouth Line.. • _

. ...... .
The entire line has been partially surveyed, and the essential
benefit arising, from avoiding the Elbow of Bristol been ascertained
beyond a doubt. The plans, sections, and books of reference will be
ready within the time proscribed by the standing orders of Parlia-
ment, and application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the
Cempany early in the-next Session. The usual power will be taken
by the Act to allow interest at if. per cent. per annum, after passing
the Act, on the amount vi the subscriptions paid up, and that no
subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his de-
posit until the Act he,olnained_aret then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
In case Parliament should not sanction the present undertaking,
which every aetive means will be taken to secure, the money de-
posited, deducting the necessary expenses attending the projection,
will bp returned to the Shareholders..
Tile Committee have been in communication with many influential
landowners on the line, from whom promises of support have been
obtained, and earnestly invite the co-operation and assistance of all
parties holding property .upon it. desirous of fathering the object in
view, whose manes, it is requested. may be communicated to the
Committee, or to the Solicitor to the Company, forthwith.

some very hily districts, It may be constructed along valleys, and
with favour t tie gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The

to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for
