This railway connects the important town of Barnet with the
London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways at Weis-
den, the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railways
at Tottenham, and the proposed Direct Loudon and Manchester and
the London and York Railways. •
The line in its course unites the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totterl4ge, Einchley, Hendon, llbrnsey, llighgate, Tottenham,
&c., connecting those places with the various railways named, and
all those south of the River Thames, securing a very large passenger
traffic, conveying heavy goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, whereby the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London will be avoided ; also coal, fuel, and other commodities, to
Barnet and the other places, on and in the neighbourhood of the line.
From these and other soureos of profit an ample return to the share-
holders will necessarily arise.

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 accomm dation.
The object 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 time, involved in the circuitous
route by Bristol, is greatly complained of, the leading and indispens-
able fbature 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 firs
Central Line, westward, which the Committee or the ilouseed Lord..
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Rill, 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.
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 retbge in the evebt 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, Okchampton, 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, Ilayle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazion, and Pen-
zance.

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

This extension runs for more than 30 miles through the most popu-
lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently
rejeetly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that
district, of 10/. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as
the constructing and working this line by a separate compai y would
be productive 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 thesame management.
From Truro, eastward, the main line will pass several important
mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China
clay district to St. Austell, and its populous mining neighbourhood.
It willalso avail itself of the railways now in process of construction-
from Ncwquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel ;
whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from Bod-
min to Wadebridge, will open, through the port of l'adstow, 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 Delabole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the
flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by
the Bude Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood
of Launceston, will form the subject 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 between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also
accessible from Launcestonyill 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 liamoan from Plymouth to
Fahnouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be 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 lino will be
joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn-
staple to Exeter, and about seven miles ilirther 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 ftom 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 Mil value and effect
to objects of such importance.
The supply and demand created by this large area,—lts population,
amounting to more than 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan-
nels,—lts 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 Bettie, showed A good remune-
rative existing traffic, without arty 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 front bringing
Falmouth, its harbour and foreign relatiteiS, PM 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 cottimuni-
cation ; and when it is also borne in mind, that frtirn the Peninsular
form of the county or 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, evinted by public
meetings and petitions front every pati of the county of Cornwall
and West Devon ; kiopott of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants,
Mine.oWners, and Agrictliturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous
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 Aet to be applied for will contain the nsual clauses for limiting
the liabilities of Shareholders to the amount of their subscriptions,
and for allowing interest at 4/. 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.

WIMBORNE and POOLE BRANCH.
Capital 250,000/., in 10,000 Shares of 251. each:
Deposit 2/. 10s. per Share.

In consequence of the numerous representations made to this Com-
pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a branch line from
Salisbury to Poole, through Wrimbonie,. the Committee, in compliance
with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this
important object.
The line will commence at Salisbury, and passing near Doi nton
and by Fordingbridge, will proceed on to Wiinborne Minster, and
there joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, will com-
plete the direct communication to Poole.

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-mentioned Banks, Copies of the Prospectus
may be obtained.

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 and careful estimate's of the traffic which have al-
ready been made, show a very large return on the amount of capital
necessary for the undertaking ; and as the line will be constructed
and worked under the management of the Committee of this Com-
pany, a material saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected.
The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 250,0001., which
will be divided into 10,000 shares of 251. each.

Southampton Railways; thus forming an uninterrupted line of
in Pembrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenhatn, Oxford, and London
com-
munication from the Sotith of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below Gloucester,
thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in ouch an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the Intended lines that accomModatiox which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the cosi and Mineral traffic froth the Forest of Dean (which, from
the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may safely be oaleulated upon), amounting to• 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce ()title Yore et alone), must be carried upon the line,
independent of the local passenger Wink and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow* the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.
revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend tipeit the ectintsl hi be expended, which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intruded capital.
It is proposed to Make branches to the Collieries mid Iron Works
in the Forest, tp the present or any new Ports Windt they suggest
themselves ori the SeVern Mkt to make the Rivet Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, Where 'Vesgetl of aitY site can enter
free from the dangers and difficulties attendant Mien the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sand., in that
river.

It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstruct the navigation; and the proposed
GlOueettet. and Aberystwith Cotnpany will no doubt be ready to joie
this Company in the expente; if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to GloucesteP, incltitting the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wye, at ChepSttitiri to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,000/., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.

A reference to the map will show the Self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South
Wales Railway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Pishguard and Miltord Raven to Chepstow)
n connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdom, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely good, and works light.
It may with very great confidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
vis'on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow four per cent. on the
calls.

SECRETARY.—M. E. Daniel, Esq

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, Beccle,s, Bungay, Halesworth,
Ilatlestoxe, and Diss ; and also between all those important towns
and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To
supply the wants of these districts the IVaney Valley and Yar-
mouth 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 beet 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 Beccies, thence to Bun-
gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Ilarleston, and Diss, commu-
nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by
means of that line to Stowmarketi Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms-
ford, and London. At Diss 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 Becclos 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 Ilarlestone, lialesworth, 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
50,375, 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 confidently 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 sent 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 nufnbcr 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 traffic on this line of road has been taken, anti is estimated to
produce, independently of the fish,carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0

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 he 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 carefully surveyed, and no engineering difficulty
preSents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily.
The wtaeency Valley' forms a natural level channel without a single
impeditneet 1 and where the line leaves the valley the cuttings are
not heavy, and are required for the necessary embankments ir>t the
lower lands.
This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and
approval of the country and towns through which it passes. Pit 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 court try
will Materially suffer, and consequently the value of property he
depreeletod 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 palls until the line is constructed.
Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the
valley through which the line e.:Sscs.

The object of this 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 metropolis, and connecting them also With the Northern and
Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near 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 Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedfore, 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 construction of a line from Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country 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 Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIR-

SECRETARY (pro' fem.)—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 be approved
of by the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven EMOisli miles.
There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rafts? the gra-
dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply 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 50,000/. ; and, when it is
considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, asd
the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the capital of
Peru, it may *My be assumed that the undertaking will be one of
unusual profit.
Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be-
tween Callao an4,,Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called
for than may W sufficient to construct tho line.
