The increased traffic on a railway has always proved
to be more than double the pre-existing traffic, but
taken at double will give for the passenger traffic of
the above places alone, per annum .•• • • • • • £161,537 4 0
The foregoing statement does not include the passenger traffic of
Staines, Englefleld-Green, Egham, Bedfont, and the numerous ad-
jacent villages.
The present traffic by carriages, gigs, and horses may be estimated
at one-half of the above amount. It has been ascertained by actual
observation, that 3,264 carriages and gigs pass to and through Brent-
ford within a week.
Many of the numerous passengers by the steam-boats now plying
on the Thames between London and the intermediate places to
Byentford and Isleworth, will necessarily avail themselves of the su-
perior advantages of railway transit.
Exclusive of the passenger traffic through Brantford, there are on
an average 1,850 waggons and carts to Brentford every week.
The extensive merchandise traffic on the River Thames between
London and Staines, and the intermediate towns, is subject to great
interruption upwards from Brentford, by droughts in summer, and
by floods and frosts in winter ; the circuitous course of the river and
the great horse-power required to draw the barges against the strong
current, render the trhflic by the river slow and very expensive.
Every description of merchandise can be carried by this railway at a
much less rate, and quicker than by the present water carriage.
Since the opening of the Great Western Railway a large portion of
the former passenger and merchandise traffic has been transferred to
that railway from the old Great Western coach-road, which is parallel
with this line, a great part of which will necessarily be restored to the
London, Hounslow, and Western Railway.

It is proposed, in the first Instance, to make a railway from Callao,
the chief ppit, to Liaan, the capital of Peru, the great mart of trade,
and general resort of this whole Peruvian nation ; and afterwards to
lay sue!' lines on the coant.of th 3 Pacific as may be approved of by
the Shareholders at a general meeting.
The distance.from Callao to Linn is about seven English miles.
There is open ground all the way salted to receive the rails, the gra-
dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant supply of water-
power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed
50,000/. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole
traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between the chief
port and the capital of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un-
dertaking will be one of unusual profit.
Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be-
tweet' Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called
for than may be sufficient to construct that line ; and if the objects
of the Compa'iy be not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money
will be returned.
Applications fur Shares with reference to be made to the Secretary,
at the OTiCe of the Company, No; 6, Old Jewry.
