One of the principal objects this Company has in view, is a great
saving of time in the journey from Ireland and South' Wales to
Bristol and London, by avoiding the tedious and dangerous passage
of the Bristol Channel, and at the same time effecting the long
sought-for communication between the English and Bristol Channels,
all of which will be gained by connecting Minehead with Bridge-
water by a Railway, and there forming a junction with the railways
already opened, and also with those now in actual progress between
Bridgwater and the commodious and important port of Poole.
The question of an eligible steam-packet and post-office station on
the Somersetshire coast for Ireland, Wales, and the Westward gene-
rally, from whence vessels may arrive and depart at all times, with-
out reference to tide, has for many years past been regarded as one
of immense importance to the Government and the public.
By making Minehead a post-office station, a saving of twelve
hours will be effected in the delivery of letters between Ireland and
the whole of the west and south of England ; and no other port on
the coast of Somerset (or even on the north of Devon) will be so
safe, and sheltered from all the prevailing winds.
At Minehead, the proposed railway will run down on a pier, which
the largest class steamers may approach, and land and embark pas-
sengers at all states of the tide, and again proceed at once into the
Western Ocean on their outward voyage.
The public is perhaps hardly aware that, even with the present
, imperfect and rude arrangements for landing passengers at Weston
' Super-Mare, it is found that passengers from Ireland and the impor-
tant ports of the south of Wales save several hours by landing at that
place ; whereas, by the proposed pier and railway from Minehead,
passengers would save generally twelve hours, and very often a great
deal more, on their journey to London, avoiding, besides., the dangers
of the Bristol Channel.
It is not among the least striking features of this project that it
forms part of a grand scheme for shortening the communication
between Ireland and Wales with Jersey, Guernsey, Paris, and the
Continent generally, as passengers landed at Minehead will proceed
by this railway to others now in progress via Yeovil and Dorchester
to Poole, from which port the distance to Cherbourg is only sixty miles, thus rendering the distance from Minehead to Cherbourg easily
performed in eight hours and a half;. and from Cherbourg a railway
is now in course of formation to Paris. The distance also to the
Channel Islands is reduced in the same proportion. A powerful com-
pany, fully alive to the advantages of this mode of transit in prefe-
rence to the mom tedious one via Southampton and Havre, is about
to put en a line of packets between the ports of Poole and Cherbourg
and the Channel Islands, thus shortening the route in point of time
by about seventeen hours.
This Company, in showing to the public the pike amount of
traffic which will flow over their line, beg leave to attention to
the following extracts, taken from a prospectus of a Company, formed
under the auspices of the Chairman of the Great Western Company,
and the leading bankers and merchants of Bristol, for making a pier
at, and railway from Portbury, to Bristol, and on which no further
comment will be made, save that whatever applies to Portbury, ap-
plies with infinitely greater force to Minehead, both in the saving of
time, dang r, delay, and expense.
"There are at the present time engagedin the trade with South
Wales, Somersetahire, Devonshire, Cornwall, Liverpool, and Ireland,
twenty-three steam-vessels of the aggregate tonnage of upwards of
6,000 tons, making rather better than fifty voyages, or 100 arrivals
and departures per week on an average throughout the year.
" The principal part of the traffic of the whole of these vessels con-
sists of passengers, whilst of their.goods traffic an important portion
consists of merchandize brought by, and intended for carriage on, the
existing railways, from and to places on either side of Bristol. For
the conduct of this traffic, every vessel will necessarily require to use
the pier and railway on each occasion of departure and arrival, as
the most expeditions, convenient, and economical mode of conveying
Such traffic to or towards its place of destination.
"The number of passengers carried by the existing steam-boats
amounts to at least 200,000 per annum ; and when it is considered
that the facilities afforded by the pier of starting and arriving at all
times of the tide, will enable vessels which now perform but one
voyage per diem, or every alternate day, to and from the nearer
ports in South Wales, to make such voyages three or four times in
the same day, at very trifling, if any, additional cost— that on the
voyages to Swansea, Tenby, and Ilfracombe, they will effect a saving
of one-half the time now occupied, and that similar advantages will
be derived by the trade with Cornwall and Ireland, it can neither be
doubted that the expense of conveyance between Bristol and those
places will be considerably reduced, nor that the effect of such re-
duction, combined with the advantage of greater certainty as to the
times of departure and arrival, must have the effect of causing a
great increase in the number of passengers.
"A large and most valuable portion of the merchandise carried by
the Cornish, Welsh, and Irish steam-beats consists of fish, poultry,
eggs, vegetables, and other articles of provision ; speed and certainty
in the conveyance and delivery of articles of so perishable a nature
are obviously essential, and the facilities in this respect afforded by
the pier are such as to secure this traffic to the undertaking.
" A very considerable revenue will also be derived from the landing
and carriage of Live Hock brought by the Irish steam boats, which
being imported fat and ready to kill, now suffer much injury from the
detention of the vessels in Kingroad whilst waiting for tide."
Although it is unnecessary to calculate upon the whole of this im-
portant and juitly founded traffic,
ofc it that , itisat ~neyilelrteohmeleessovimerpothisssiblientoe,
over-estimate the large portion
when it is remembered that by the proposed scheme the harbour of
Waterford will, by means of powerful steamers, be brought within
twelve, and the ports of Dublin and Cork within fifteen hours of the
terminus at Minehead, by which the danger, inconvenience, and un-
pleasantness of travelling by night will be altogether avoided.
So also must the traffic derived from steam-boats, and on the line
itself; be added, which will arise from the immense resort of persons

e
much more than even at present resorted to ; and so great is the
existing traffic that, by the calculations already made, a large reve-
nue will be derived from this source alone.
The present number of cattle sent to Bristol from Ireland alone is
upwards of 150,000 head per annum, and it is only reasonable to ex-
pect that these will be landed at the far nearer port of Ilinehead,
thereby creating a considerable source of revenue.

through which it the Passes, as to com lete chain of
railway communication between the eastern andp 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 this, 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,i n 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 traffie
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 end Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from
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 Shrewsbury, 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 Len-
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 Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase
of the manufactories now carried on in that city.
The whole of the country 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
line 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 deposit till the Act is
t 4 land
,
obtained, and power will be applied far to allow interest per
centum on all calls, from the time of their respective paymentsta
to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub-
rcriptions.
The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with
any existing or projected line of railway; to vary the route • to
make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may, be
advisable er necessary. published in a

and may then be obtained on application to the_ several solicitors,
and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Pepposema
and Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39
bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester
and Gage, Liverpool ; Messrs. Freeman and Son, Northampton ;
John Duncaft, Manchester; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, ibis_
tol ; Mr. John Watson, Leeds ; Mr. John Cragg, Skipton ; and
Messrs. Atkinson Newcastle ; Messrs. Grayston and Earle, York
Mr. Collis, Birmingham ; Messrs. srs7Titeenipanesdrgan°dn'BrLitecahmartin,gthunna..;
Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Hull ; i‘ies
dersfleld ; Messrs. Robertson and Co., Edinburgh ; and Messrs.
Tassie, Glasgow ; to any of whom applications in the tub:lemon-
Honed form may be addressed.

Theimportauee of this railway to the agricultural district of North
Somerset is incalculable for disseminating, as manure, In every di-
rection the celebratedilme of Cannington Park, from which, and also
from the carrying of coal, a large revenue will arise.
Memel timber brought into the port of Poole (the harbour dues of
which are very insignificant) can be unshipped, carried across by
rail, and re-shipped at Minehead, at a cost of 7s. per ton less In
freight, than if carried rotmd,the Landsend, exclusive of the great
saving In time ; this alone Will open a large trade with Wales, as
vessels will bring over 'coals to 31inehead, and take back timber,
limestone, flour, mina, slates, and copper ore.
The blue has lime-stone of Watchet, so admirably adapted for
aquatic building, will also produce a considerabl a revenue to this
undertaking.

The flour and provision trade, at present carried on between the
mining districts of South Wales and the coast of Somerset, must ne-
cessarily flow over this line, and create an important feature in its
revenue.

One of the first effects of the formation of this line will be, that
steam communication will be established between Minehead and the
following places :—Swansea, Tenby, Milford, Neath, Haverfordwest,
Pembroke, and Carmarthen, and with the whole of the South of
Ireland ; and this railway, with a suitable station and wharfs, will
also afford to Watchet all the advantages of which it is capable as a
Port.

- Depots for goods will be erected at the station at Combwitch
Reach, where at present all the larger vessels trading to Bridgwater
stop ; and it may be mentioned that 130,000 tons of coasting trade
coins into this port annually, exclusively of 10,000 tons of foreign
trade.

From the estimates prepared, it is expected that only a portion of
the proposed capital will be required to carry out the objects of this
Company.

Power will be reserved to allow the sharekolders 41. per cent. on
the paid-up capital, and also to construct branches from Minehead or
Watchet to Wiveliscombe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines
o f Sir T. Buckler Lethbridge, Bart., which, with the slate quarries of
Sir John Trevylyan, are in active working within seven miles of Mine-
head. From this source, as also from the copper mines of Andrew
Crosse, Esq., a large revenue must arise.

... -
The landowners have been communicated with, and are most
anxious for the successful carrying out of the objects of the Com-
pany; nor is there reason to expect that any Parliamentary opposi-
tion will be offered.

The line will be twenty-flys miles in length, and no engineering
difticulties present themselves.

Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shares, and to apply the funds of
the Company In payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation,
and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to
Parliament.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby
given to the Managing Directors as above, to raise any additional capital,
to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, docks, piers,
wharib , or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other
Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of
the Company.

Applications for Shares, plans, prospectuses, and detailed informa-
tion, may be made at the Offices of the Company, No. 3, Alderman's-
walk, City, London ; at the Offices of the Company's Solicitors,
Messrs. 1 Beckett, Son, and Sympson, 7, Golden-square, London;
Mr. Vaughan Prance, Nether Stowey and Bridgwater. And of the
Local Agents—Mr. William Woodland, solicitor, Taunton ; Mr. N.
Pearce, solicitor, Wiviliscombe ; Mr. James Parsons, solicitor, Lang-
port; Messrs. Stone and Symonds, solicitors, Dorchester ; Mr.
Thomas Phippard, solicitor, Wareham ; Mr. M. K. Welch, solicitor,
Poole ; Mr. Henry Poole, solicitor, Bristol. And of the following
Stock and Share Brokers—Messrs, Tucker, Barnett, and Ellis, 11,
Birchin-lane ; and Messrs. Muggings awl Lang, London; Messrs,
Hail, Brothers, and Co., Cheltenham ; Mr. John Moreorn, Bristol ;
Mr. Thomas Evans, Bath; Mr. Charles O'Neil, Manchester ; Messrs.
11. Davies and Co, Liverpool ; Messrs. Chantrell and Boys, Leeds ;
Messrs. Wilkinson and Earle, Hull ; Messrs. Labertouche and Staf-
ford, Dublin ; Mr. Lilly, Brldgrfetpr ; and Mr. R. Ball, Taunton.

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
tench 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 them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality.
To the population Hong the line as well as to the Midland and
Northern portions of 'he 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.

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 deposit till the let is
obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at four
pounds per centum on all calls from the time of their respeotive
payments, and to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount
of their subscription. . _

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa-
ironage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that .oast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
aceessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where It will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wei-dock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from NVhitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.

In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of 'Worcester ; the iron, coal, and earthen..
ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce
brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, IrOnbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.

In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The lino traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent, and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pr-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many other
localities.
As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
Schemes hithedo proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment; or a wider range of accommodation for tragic and
travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in th chain
