The Committee of Direction of this Railway beg to announce to
their Shareholders and to the Public, that they have resolved to make
an Extension of their Line at or near Heckington to Spalding, and to
form &junction there with the Lynn and Ely Company's Extension.
By means of this Extension, a direct line of communication will be
provided from the sea coast to Norfolk, through Newark to Notttng-
hamshire, West Lancashire and Yorkshire, between which an enor-
mous traffic already exists without any railway accommodation.

DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER, FAL-
MOUTH AND PENZANCE RAILWAY.
(Being the projected Extension of the Direct London and Exeter

.
Railway.
Capital, 3,000,0001., in 120,000 Shares, of 251. each.
Deposit 2/. 12s. 6(1. per Share.

This extension has been adopted for the purpose of continuing the
direct line of railway from London to Falmouth and Penzance, ac-
cording to the plan and intention, as originally proposed, of the Direct
London and Exeter railway. The projectors were prevented by the
unavoidable absence of their engineer, and Vie deputation who in-
tended to be present at the meeting lately held in Cornwall, bringing
their plan before it on that occasion, though it is, in fact, the only one
really practicable to effect the object in view, .being wholly free from
the objections attendant on a junction of save ral small Companies
working from the South Western.
The Committee regret to find that the plan of a line from London
to Falmouth, first projected by the present Company, should, with
many of its peculiar features, have been recently adopted by others,
in a way calculated to mislead the public mind into a belief, that the
undertaking has been projected by them, thew; h it was never sug-
gested till the Direct London and Exeter Cor np any made the commu-
nication from London to Falmouth a main pr inciple of action.
The extension line will proceed from E. toter to Cheriton, Oke-
hampton, Launceston, Bodmin, St. Columb,. Truro, and Penzance,
with branches from Okehampton to Barnstai )1e and Ilfracombe, one
from Launceston to Plymouth, and another f to in Truro to Falmouth.
The deficiency of traffic, population, and tr ad e, for any undertaking
wholly confined to Cornwall and Devonshire admitted beyond dis-
pute, but arrangements have been made fur immediately carrying
out the line from Exeter to Falmouth, with t hut of London to Exeter,
so as to form one integral communication from London to Falmouth
and Penzance, worked by two capitals, for of to object and under one
Company, and which will form a highly profil.able undertaking as an
integral scheme.
Any parties interested in the success of tilts national undertaking,
are requested to communicate with the Conunittee forthwith, and
are particularly advised not to pledge thems,aves to any other plan
attempted to interfere with the original projoc:t of the Direct London
and Exeter Company. Any other undertakitil will, upon examina-
tion, be found wanting in all the requisites for ultimate success, and
the failure of which must create great loss to -tbe subscribers of any
competing line.
The Prospectus of the entire line, under on .a management, will be
published in a few days; meanwhile any furti ter information, plans of
the line, and copies of the letter addresse d to the landowners of
Cornwall, may be obtained of D. E. Col onbine, Esq., 8, Carlton
Chambers, Regent-street, Solicitor to the ent. tre Company, to whom,
or to the Provisional Committee, at 52, Re s ent-street, applications
for Shares may be made in the usual form. _ _ . _ .

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS.
The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants
of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of
railway communication between the eastern and midland counties
and the western district, including the whole of North and South
Wales.
The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and
thickly populated.
By means of tills, and the existing and projected lines of railway,
the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in-
cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester,
Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be
brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of
North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the
river Severn.
The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import-
ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni-
ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will
pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at
present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise,
and which, in the winter season, is productive of the most evil con-
sequences to those engaged in commerce.
A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic
which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking,
in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more
dilatory course of water carriage.
As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the
above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa-
lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the
opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high-
est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other
similar undertakings are alone capable of producing.
The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the
Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro-
posed Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed ttom
thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and
end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a
junction with the several Welsh railways, the ShreNvsbury, Wor-
cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol-
verhampton Railway.
At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway.
And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland
Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway.
To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland,
Eastern, and Northern Counties this line will afford a direct com-
munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten-
ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties.
To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a
direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and
South Wales, now so much needed.
And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the
nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the
Eastern ComitieS ins now
and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufaetorias now carried on in that city.
The whole of the eonntry has during the present month, August,
1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report
it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail-
way; and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the
sine will be made under the average rate of expense incident to
similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession,
that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property, and the
landowners are favourable to the undertaking.
The Shareholders in the several. Railways proposed to be joined or
intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this
undertaking.
No person will be liable for more than his deposi
interestwili at 4/. per
centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
reriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected lino of railway ; to vary the route ; to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be
advisable or necessary.
Prospectuses, with a Plan, will b
ti e 'published in
several a few
cit da
oryss,
,
and may then be obtained on application to the soli
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppercorns
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Loth-

and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs. Freeman and Son, Northampton ; Mr.

mr. CoZ2s, Birmingham; and Messrs. White and Son, Leamington ;
to any of -whom applications in the undermentioned form may be
addressed.

PROSPECTUS,

This Railway will commence at the towns of Dartmouth and
Brixham, and pass through or near Paignton and Torquay ; thence,
following the course of the Teign, by Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, and
Moretonhampstead, will proceed direct to Exeter by the proposed
line of the intended Cornwall and Devon Central Railway, and, by
means of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, the London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil, and the London and South-Western lines, a direct com-
muuication will be thus opened from all the above-mentioned dis-
tricts to the Metropolis.
The following is an outline of the general and local atiTantages
which render it an enterprise of national and commercial., im-
portance:—
Dartmouth and Brixham, from their great facility of access at all
times, present safe and ready refuge for homeward-bound vessels,
which, either from stress of weather or in time of war, find it desir-
able to make a western port, in the English Channel, and the cargoes
of these vessels, which are frequently of a valuable and perishable
nature, such as those from the Mediterranean and the Levant--may
at once be landed, and by means of this railway forwarded direct to
their destination, by which a great saving in time, and loss new fre-
quently accruing from damage to perishable commodities, will be
effected.
It has been ascertained that the harbour of Dartmouth is at all
times capable of affording a safe anchorage for at least forty ships of
the line, with an additional number of kigates, as will appear by the
sketch which accompanies the prospectus ; and there is good reason
to expect that Dartmouth will be selected as one of the harbours of
refuge.
Dartmouth has been recommended by the Government Commis-
sioners as the best port in the English Channel for the departure and
arrival of steam-vessels employed in the conveyance of her Majesty's
mails ; and in all probability will, on the formation of this railway,
become the packet station. The following are extracts from the re-
port of the Commissioners :
" We beg to state our opinion that Dartmouth will be found the
most eligible port wherein the mails to aud from the West Indies may
be embarked and landed.

By order of the Board,

" In coming to this conclusion, It behoves us to state the reasons
which have governed us in this selection; and in the endeavour to
set forth the advantages which we consider Dartmouth to possess for
the contemplated service, as they apply to the packets, the Post-
office, aid the public generally, we shall abstain from bringing it
into direct comparb on with any other port, turther than to exhibit
their respective distances by sea and land from a
given point, and
the probable time that would be occupied in the transmission of
the mails to and fr'o'm two great.centres—viz., London and Birming-
ham ; the result of which we find to be not unfavourable to Dart-
mouth, independent of the superior qualifications we deem that port
to possess.". 4
" Under all circumstances, the waters of Dartmouth eannot but
be perfectly tranquil, so that in the most tempestuous weather the
mail steam packets would not thereby be prevented from embark-
ing and landing the mails, or from receiving coals from floating de-
pots moored either above or abreast of the town, or from wharfs car-
ried out from either shore."
Brixham, the port of the well-known excellent anchorage of
Torbay, is also a safe and :commodious harbour; its claims are fairly
set forth in the following resolutions, in which " the merchants
of Brixham, desirous of calling the attention of railway companies
to the advantages it offered, in support of their projects, on the 4th
of April, 1844, at a meetiwg, unanimously passed amongst others
the following resolution::—
" That the shipping, at present belonging to this port (Brixham)
is 'upwards of 20,000 tons (independent of its well-known numerous
fishing craft), employing upwards of 1,500 seamen, for which, and
other important reasons, the railway e,empanies are invited to give
the port of Brixham (Torbay) overy consideration in the arrange-
ment of their proposed line and stations, with reference both to the
traffic of its mercantile community, and the produce of its extensive
fishery."
Torquay,. with the adjacent neighbourhood, so celebrated for its
scenery and genial climate,. has grown into its present state of
prosperity with a rapidity unequalled, and has already become the
favourite place of abode of many who, whilst seeking a mild climate
during the winter months, prefer remaining in England to a re-

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Compete'
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Gilley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donningten
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
in
elee, Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow,
the ecaety of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the sh:ewebury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."

to any other. The importance of this subject will have its e twined
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade,
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shr• IPe
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neig:l;
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway Will convey
it direct into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communiea-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.
As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna-
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Shareholders we! be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. per alinurn
on the ,emount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, from the
date of eaC.it payment until the opening of the line ; and the 11.1'st
deposit being
used, a further call will not be made until the Act Of
Parliament shah have been obtained.

Torquay also presents the nearest point of approach to the Chan-
nel Islands, and steam-boats ply'between those places.
Paiguton. "the garden of Devon," and which has the finest and
most extensive beach on the far-famed southern coast of Devonshire,
is becoming a most populous and improving watering-place, and is
a favourite awl fashionable resort during the summer months.
Newton, immediately adjoining, and contiguous to which the line
will pass, is situated on the banks of the Teign, and in the very heart
of the South of Devon, surrounded by a rich agricultural country,
most numerously populated, is a considerable and flourishing town,
and its market is the best in that part of the county, supplying the
neighbouring watering-places and their vicinities.
Chudleigh and Moretonlaampstead are large and populous agricul-
tural districts, distaiit from any market towns, and now totally cm-
provided with railway accommodation. Besides, Chudleigh abounds
in line of the best quality for agricultural and other purposes, which
by means of this railway will be supplied at a very reduced cost, to
the north of Devon, and a large district round Crediton, Dansford,
and Moretonhainpsteael, places now provided with lime from a great
distance, and at a very heavy expense.
This railway will also effect that which must be considered a great
national object, namely; the junction of the English and Bristol
Channels. By the junction of these Channels, an immense traffic
must ensue between the termini at the respective ports of Dart-
mouth and Barnstaple. • •
The above railway will be about 35 miles in length, and the Com-
mittee are satisfied, from the result of the preliminary survey, that
the proposed capital will be amply sufficient. •
The Committee think it unnecessary to present any detailed esti-
mate of the expected traffic and revenue, as it must be obvious from .
an inspection of the map, the above outline of the objects to be ac-
complished, the well-known populousness and productiveness of the
distSct to be traversed, and the comparative cheapness at which the
line will be constructed, maintained, and worked, that the projected
railway presents a most advantageous investment for capital, and will
afford an ample remuneration to the shareholders.
The Committee will at once proceed to complete the surveys, and
take all the necessary'steps for obtaining an act in the ensuing session
of Parliament. power will be given in the Bill to allow interest at
four per cent. per annum on the calls, from the time of payment until
the opening of the line, and no liability will be incurred by any sub-
scriber beyond the amount of his subscription.
The Committee, in the 'allotment of the shares, will give a pre-
ference to parties locally interested ; and, in all cases, satisfactory
reference will be required to a banker, or to some person of known
respectability. The above line being an extension of the Dartmouth,
Brixham, and South .Devon Junction Railway, the applicants for
shares in that project will (on a renewal of their applications in the
annexed fain) have a priority in the allotment of shares in the rail-
way now proposed.

Tho Committee of Management have determined, with the powers
given them by the deed of the Company, to relinquish the branch
from Ludlow to Newtown, which will form a necessary part of the
Worcester and Port Dynllaen line projected by the Great Western
Railway Company, and to reduce their proposed capital from

1,250,0001. to 1,000,0001.
As the new staading order of the House of Lords will require 10
per cent. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have
also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a further call on
Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital
into shares of 251., deposit 21. 12s. 6d. ; allowing holders of the pre-
sent 501. shares to receive twice as many 251. shares, or any smaller
number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the
Committee where their shares were not originally allotted to them),
or if any should wish to withdraw, returning them the deposits of
21. 15s. per sharo which have been paid up.

. .
All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested
to forward the same to the Secretary on or before SATURDAY, the 20th
of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect
to new Shares, by letter in the form below. All holders of Shares
not originally allotted to them, failing to transmit their scrip certiff--
cates on or before that day, will forfeit all benefit of their Shares, and
original Shareholders, failing by the same day to transmit their scrip
certificates or bankers' receipts, will forfeit their right to an additional
number of Shares. Where the scrip certificates or bankers' receipts
aro forwarded by .post, the letter should be registered at the post-
office ; the Secretary will acknowledge their receipt.
The Shrewsbury and Hereford line will be made in. cordial co-
operation with the Great Western and South Wales Companies ; and
the Committee are happy to be able to announce that the surveys are
being actively proceeded with.
Stu,—l hereby transmit scrip certificates of the Shrewsbury, Here-
ford, and North Wales Railway Company, Nos. , (or a banker's
receipt for shares,] and I desire to have 251.
shares in the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, under-
taking to pay the additional sum required to make a deposit of
21. 12s. 6d. on each of these shares, and to sign the subscribers'
agreement and Parliamentary contract when required, (or, to receive
back the deposits which have been paid.]

This Line, which, subject to the decision of the Gauge Commis-
sioners, will be constructed on the Broad Gauge principle, will com-
mence at the Worcester Station of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway, and, proceeding by Redditch and Henley-in-Arden, will
teuch Warwick and Leamington, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railway and of the proposed Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Junction Railway, It will communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-Avon.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc-
tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon-
don, Warwick, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Rugby, with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering difficulties, and.
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of such abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the Capitalists.

The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions :of the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
will be effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, at one of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to Worcester, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon—from which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the manufactures of all the towns and

the agricultural produce of 'the country contained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and North-Eastern Coast, will
have opened to thorn a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of Now South Wales,
as well as the markets of the markets of the Northern portion of the
principality.
The advantages of a direct railway carriage over the more
tedious process of carriage by water, to say nothing of the economy
in saving the expense, as well as the damage incident to many kinds
of goods by the frequent transhipment required by the latter, aro
too obvious to demand more than this slight allusion.

To the population; along the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of the kingdom, this undertaking will present the
most direct communication with those towns of fashionable resort—
Leamington and Cheltenham. To the inhabitants of Leamington
and Warwick, it will open the most direct communication with the
city of Worcester and South Wales, whilst to the inhabitants of
Worcester, it will open the markets of the Eastern portions of the
country. Pi this
The Shareholders in the several railways proposed to be ed .
intersected, will have a preference in the allotment of shares in
tt
under taking.
No person will be liable for more than his depositttllow
obtained, and power will be applied fort till the
aAt cftoni Ts
the thus of their respective
pounds per centum ou all calls from
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription.
