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, 31ilford, 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
come 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 eut 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 111Inchead or
Watchet to Wiveliscombe, Porlock, &c., and the extensive iron mines
of 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-fire miles in length, and no engineering
difficulties 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,
wharfs, or jetties, or enter into any arrangement with any other
Company or Companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of
the Company.
