That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that nt a
General Meeting of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island,
held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, roolutions were carried
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the Introduc-
tion of railways into the island, and that a committee of geittkmen
was at the flame time appointed to watch. the proceedings of the
railway projectors; and I am further directed by this Committee to
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen-
tial landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public oppositiOn
the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

The Bill for making a railway iiiTnitPlymouth 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 groat area of Devonshire west
of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, arc 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 feature 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. 4 was this
,Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the Henke of Lords,
.in the Wilts and Somerset Hallway Bill, in the present session, obliged
the Great Water/3 :Raft ^s- • rom^anz' to plOit4l- t1:1,1',4"43."--"' '-
oppose ; and tney efieax thsnina 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.
Thee saying 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 refuge in the event of war; and re-
membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to
tke 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, Okehampton, 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,
Ciunbome, Hayle, (with a branch to SL Ives,) Marazion, and Pen-
zance.

The object of this undertaking is to supply railway commanication
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 welt as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
pailw eeayd , Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
roc upnear 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 Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to mate
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a llne from Wolverton to Bicestec)
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 annum 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 hexing local interests.

BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIR-
MINGHAM RAILWAY.
The public are respectfully informed that the Company for con-
structing the BUCKINGHAM and LONDON and BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY is amalgamated with the BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
RAILWAY COMPANY.
Any partieslocally interested, who have applied for Shares in the
Buckingham and London and Birmingham Company, and who may
'wish to take Shares in the Buckinghamshire Company, are re-
quested to make application on or before the 20th day of August
instant, to any of the solicitors of the Buckinghamshire Railway.
In consequence of the arrangements with the Buckinghamshire
Railway Company, no Shares can be allotted except to parties locally
interested.
