This company is formed for the purpose of establishing direct
railway communication between the important ports of Hull,
Great Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction
of a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham,
Oakham, Uppingham, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and
joining the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough
and Northampton ; thus forming, in connexion with projected
lines of railway from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from
Northampton to Southampton the connecting link in one uninter.
rupted chain of railway communication from Hull and Grimsby
to Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the south-
western coast of England.
It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great
Grimsby, and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northamp.
tonshire, and part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Chel.
tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the South and West of
England.
An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of
this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of
view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London
and the South generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire
and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommo..
dation; while its value to the South Midland, the Northampton,
Banbury, and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway
Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which
it will form a most profitable adjunct) must be obvious.
This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected
line from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and
Grimsby, the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed
lines running to Lincoln ; at Grantham with the Nottingham,
Vale of Belvoir and Grantham, and the Grand Union ; at Oakham
with the Syston and Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford,
and Birmingham and London, and Manchester Direct.
One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does
not run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of

railway.
The ground has been surveyed, and found to be practicable, pre-
senting for the most part no engineering difficulties.
Satisfactory communications for mutual cooperation have been
opened with the several companies, whose interests will be affected
by the proposed line. In the meantime the Committee of Manage-
ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or
deviate from the proposed line, or make such extensions and
branches as they may hereafter deem advisable.
The Subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their
subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum on all calls from
the passing of the Act.
In consequence of a great portion of the Shares having been
already applied for, the period for application must necessarily be
very limited.
Applications for Shares may be made in the annexed form to the
following Sharebrokers :—London : Mr. W. West, Capel.court,

change-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. E. C. Hopps and Co., Leeds;

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 Bearninster to Bridport
harbour. A branch will/ proceed out of the line, about mid-way
between Watchet 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 Mangertort, four miles short of Bridport, where it will
unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the
Great Western lines crf Railway, and thence proceed on that line
to Bridpnrt Harbour..

It will also cross the proposed line from Yeovil to Exeter
about two miles wes tof Crewkerne.

The junction of tiletvcoC;annels—was long since deemed an im-
portant object. To effect it, surveys were successively made for e
ship canal by the late Mr. Rennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific
men, who concurred in the importance of such a work in a na.
tional point of view ; the design was matured, and in 1824 an Act
of Parliament -was passed ; and it stands recorded as the opinions of
Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would afford a
remuneration to the subscribers of 16 4 per cent. on a capital of
1,712,8441.

,
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, "'lake It manifest that goods may be conveyed by this
railway a', far less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford
and Capt ain Nichols formed their opinion.
The 'intended line from Minehead to Bridgewater, will meet
and cross this line near Watchet.

No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve
the ptrrposes which this important and favoured line will serve.
The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed-
ing 15 0,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort—
Weyto outh, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and
Linton), Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol
Charnel. 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 aim contains between SO 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, Brid-
port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected
by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, cultn, 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 more! than compensate for the charges attending re-ship-
ment at Bridpart from Watchet, particularly in the article of
Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam-
engines, steam-boats, and other purposes.
The harbour of Bridport admits ♦essels 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 4,0,000 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 iOO
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 Sour mills,
paper mills, and clothing mills.
The foregoing facts show that the line must have a veryexten-
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 (50milea 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 fiat, 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
ielesive.

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 nol
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 et 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.
Applications for shares to be made, in the form annexed, to

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap-
plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda
tion, through an independent channel, to all the principal towns it
Buckinghamshire, and to many In the other counties through whici
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, atter 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 ccmpany, 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,
and 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 with the strenuous support of many landed pro-
prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto
withheld their co-operation nom the Buckinghamshire Railway
Company for the reasons enutnerated.
Tile line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley
of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury,
by Winslow, to Buckingham. It will take a course from thence
through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to
Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route
hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.
Applications for shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the
Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, or to Messrs.
Edward Ellis and Co., Sharebrokers, 53, Threadue vile-street.
