Indeed, no line in England embraces so much traffic, and the combi-
nation of so many railways.
The course of the line will be from the junction of the eastrrn
counties, the Harwich and the Ipswich Railway at Colchester, by or
near Earl CoLne, Coggleshall, Braintree, Dunmow, Bishop-Stortford,
Widford, Ware, Hertford, Hatleld, St. Alban's, Watford, Riekmans-
worth, Cheneys, Amersham, Beaconsfield, lligh Wycombe, Great
Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, to Reading, forming a junction with
other lines to Southampton and Portsmouth. The southern exten-
sion branches off from the main line at Rickmansworth, to Uxbridge,
Upton, and Windsor.
The line will, In its course, run directly through seventeen market
towns, containing together a population of 110,000 inhabitants, and
will. within three miles of its coarse, have a population of more than
300,000 inhabitants; and owing to the peculiar angle it makes with
other railways, it will, jointly, with the Northern and Eastern, be
the nearest route from Braintree and Dunmow to London ; and, by
the London and York And this line, the nearest from Ilertford and St.
Alban's to London ; and the nearest route, by this line and the Lon-
don ' and Birmingham, from Amersham, Wycombe, and Marlow to
London, besides saving from ten to forty miles in the cross distance
of ti•.e.whole towns in the interior, and the several ports.
Atone end of this line are four sea-ports and extensive docks, viz.,
Mlldon, Colchester, Harwich, and Ipswich. From Maldon, there are

upwards of 100,000 quarters of corn and seed annually exported, ex-
clusive of home consumption ; in addition, there is great trade in
timber, stone; slate, Hine, chalk, and oil-cake, all of which will be
brought on this line, and open a direct communication from these
ports to the malting districts of Newport, Bishop-Stortford, Ware,
and Hertford.

Colchester and Ipswich have become mast important ports, and
need no remark; and Government has made a grant for the construc-
tion of a Refuge Harbour ftt Harwich, and a great Packet Station is
to be established there, which by this line will command the whole of
the passengers and merchandise traffic from the Midland,llSouth, and
the 'Western Districts, for the north of Europe.
At the other termini of this line are Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Southampton, the latter of which is rapidly becoming ono of the most
important ports in England. The line will open the only direct com-
munication from Southampton, and Portsmouth Dockyard, to the.
whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties; and communicate with
five of the principal established railwayri in England, 112., South-
Western, Great Western, London and Birmingham, Northern and
Eastern, and Eastern Counties, and will not be in opposition to either
of them, but contribute t• augment their respective traffic.
The whole line has been examined by the Company's Engineers,
and presents no engineering difficulty.
Powers Wlll be applied for in the 11111, to allow Interest at the rate
of 41. per cont. per annum, on all calls made from the passing of the
Act until the opening of the line. The greatest portion of the capital

, PROSPECTUS.

This important line will commence at Brighton,, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth,
Mid-
hurst, Petersfleld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed. Southampton
Munches er and Oxford junction.
An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company,
and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the
Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger-
ford to Swindon.
From Peterstield a short branch will be made to Chichester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Sw ndon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
Southampt n Railway to Chelt nham, aid the North of England
by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or
other existing and contemplated lines.
On reference to the map, it will be wen that the primary' object
to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate
connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac-
turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast
!and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, awl
Dover. • .
It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between
iflfrlE.igtliiigstlo:nbn,d.
oain.lus Dicppe, which the railroad from the latter place to
Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means
of the projected line, a direct eommunicatien with France, either
from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern countlee
that with these advantage.; the traffic must neces—
eerily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of
'railway accommodation.
Power will sc applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches'
therefrom as maybe deemed necessary •, also fir the purposes of amal-
gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable.
The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or
narrow viuge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable.
No further call beyond the deposit will be made 'until the Act
shall be obtained.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines 'with whick
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and
to the following Sharebrokers, of whom provectuses, with maps

SECRETARY (pro tern.)—P. P. Smith, Esq., Truro.

In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House
of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanction of the
Board of Trade, and the approval of the Mouse of Commons), a far-
ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed
between Plymouth and Falmouth has been determined upon, and
Mr. Brunei has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom-
inendation.
The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre-
diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which
it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and
central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a
junction should be effected between the Cornwall Railway and North
Devon line; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his
survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com-
nitmication with Exeter and the North of Devon.
By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a.
continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmouth to Ply-
mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct
line by way of Launceston and CreditOn to EXOter From Launces-
ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon
Railway a line through Barnstaple and South Molten to join the
Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton.
By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall
Railway ancrthe South Devon, North. Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways, the most complete and comprehensive rystem of railway
communication will be provided for the west of England, giving the
utmost amount of accommodation to all the principal towns and
places in the counties of Cornwall and Devon. .
In the county of Cm-UM/all the towns of Penzaree, St. Tires, Mara-
zion, Hayle, Camborne, itartith, Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, St.
Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Liskeard, Launceston,
and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trailing, an
bed agri-
cultural parishes and districts of the county, will have thebenefit o
railway communication ; while the ports or St. Ives, PortreatFstlhm,
on Net
Quay, and Padstow on the north coast, and Mount's Bay, h,
Mevagissey, Pentuan, Charlestown, Par. Fowey, and Looe, on the
south coast, will be connected with or brought within very mode-
rate distances of the main line.
In the laying out of the Com Wall Railway advantage will also be
taken of the several local railways already formed or now In course
- of construction. Considerable progress has already been made in
the survey.
In carrying these objects into effect, the Company will have the
most cordial co-operation and support of its aasociated,cOmpanhis—
namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and
Gloucester, the South pever., the North pvyon, pig `Vest Cornwall
Raihysys,
