traffic on the old lines—the junction of many new railways projected
and in formation—the approaching completion of the Scottish and
Northern lines—the progression of railway communication in Ireland,
new and immense sources of traffic will be necessarily poured in on
lines indirect and inadequate to general accommodation ; there can
be no objection on public grounds to the construction of a direct line
between London and Manchester. On the contrary, every reason
for its energetic support.
From Leicester to Bedford and London, it will • intersect a rich,
populous, and fertile country, at present without railway communi-
cation to London, while northwards of Leicester it will pass through
'important mineral and mining districts, and the coal and other natu-
ral productions of Derbyshire and Staffordshire will be immediately
available for the population along the whole line.
From a point in the Teen Valley, near Cheadle, it is intended to
carry a branch railway through the Staffordshire Potteries to Crewe,
•by way of Lane-end, Stoke-upon-Trent, Manley, Newcastle-under-
Lyne, Burslem, and Tunstall, se as to form a junetios with the Grand
%Function Railway, and make . this railway the best communication,
not only between London and Manchester, but also between London
and Liverpool/
Many influential persons eonnected with the Potteries .have urged
'this step as the only one that will enable them to get directly and
. speedily to London and Liverpool.
For seven years this large and influential district has been endea-
vouring toga"' route to. London ; every proposed scheme has been
rendered abortive, either by its internal insignificance or bad ma-
nagement, and become a mere article for speculation without the re-
motest adaptation to the wants of this great industrial population.
Hid any One of the Piney projected schemes succeeded, it would
pot bear the comparison for one moment in point of real soundness,
utility, and public 'benefit to the Potteries of the present undertaking.
The noulamen and. gentlemen en the route have. for the greater
part expressed their unqualified support of the line, by 'means, of
which, and the advance of railway science, the expense of formation
will be rendered comparatively light.
It is the intention of the promotersofithout absolutely binding
themselves, to adopt the atmospheric. principle and broad gauge,
should such be approved, or to take any gauge br means that will be
economical in working and give high speed. Any ornamental pro-
perty, on the line will, as far as possible, be respected.
The distance, under 177 miles, will be accomplished in about three
and a half hours, and no exertion will be spared to complete the
journey in the shortest possible time.
This line will therefore be completely independent of other lines,
making, made, or to be made; and the delay and - inconvenience
attendant on stoppages, the caprices of rival companies, &c., will be
thus avoided.
It will be the most direct, the speediest, the most economical.
And the promoters feel convinced that a cairn consideration of the
matter on its merits will satisfy all that this original line of an able
engineer will be a railway of unequalled public utility, and that, if
it will necessarily be an undertaking of magnitude, it is, at the same
time, one of large promise, and likely to afford very great remunera-
tion to shareholders.

THE DIRECT WESTERN RAILWAY,
FBOM LONDON TO FALMOUTH AND PENZANCE.

Capital, 3,000,0001. in 120,000 Shares of 251.
Deposit, 11. 7s. 6d. per Share.
The line will commence at or near Newbury in Berkshire, and pro-
ceed from thence in a direct course to Taunton; thence by Tiverton
to or near Crediton, Okehampton, and Hatherleigh, Launceston,
Truro, to the port of Falmouth, with a continuation of the line from
Truro, by Redruth, to Penzance. The towns of Devizes, Lavington,
Ludgershall, Marlborough, Warminster, Westbury, Bradford, Trow-
bridge, Frome, Bruton, Wells, Glastonbury, Sheptou Mallett, Castle
Carey, Somerton, and Langport, and the populous villages in their
vicinity, now destitute of the benefits of railway communication, will
have these advantages conferred upon them, and be placed in imme-
diate connexion with the metropolis. . .

The rich agricultural and mineral districts of Devon and Cornwall
will have similar advantages ; and London will be connected with the
city of Exeter, and the ports of Plymouth, Falmouth (the packet
station of the empire) and Penzance, by the shortest and most direct
route. _ _

The proposed line will also unite the Western districts of the king-
dom with Wales and the North and North-eastern districts of the
country ; and be to the Great Western Railway that which the Treat
Valley is to the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction
Railways.
The wide gauge, the natural one of the Weztern counties and of
Wales, will be adopted ; and such portions of the Great Western
line as unites Newbury with the Metropolis, and Taunton with
Tiverton and Exeter, will be connected by junctions with the pro-
posed line.
A distance exceeding thirty miles will be saved by the contem-
plated line between London and Exeter.
The Prospectus, with the list of the provisional Committee of Di-
rectors, will be issued early in the ensuing week ; in th interim, com-
munications are to be addressed to the Secretary, at the Office of the
Company, No. 4, Coleman-street, London.

following:—
. . .

Ist. The greatest possible accommodation to the public.
2d. To preserve and enhance the value of property as it at pre-
sent exists.

3d. The shortest and most practicable railway communication
between Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester, thence
to London and the eastern and south-eastern districts of England.
4th. To construct the line at the least possible cost, but in such a
manner as to attract a traffic from all lines now existing, or which
hereafter may be constructed at either end of it.
sth. The adoption of the double gauge, thereby affording the great
advantage of passing from this to all other contiguous railways,
whether constructed on the broad or narrow gauge.
6th. A great saving, not only of expense, but also of time and dis-
tance.

Present route from Cheltenham to Oxford by railway is via Glou-

SECOND CALAMITOUS FIRE AT
QUEBEC.
It is with feelings of the deepest concern that the Committee in
London for the relief of the sufferers have to announce to the. public
the occurrence of ANOTHER FIRE IN QUEBEC, almost equal,
both in extent and in the value of property destroyed, to that which
took place on the 28th of May, only a month before. The Com-
mittee have received from various quarters the most distressing ac-
counts of this second feartbl calamity, and of the dreadful misery
entailed by these two conflalrations upon nearly 20,000 of our fellow-
subjects, but at present they confine themselves to a reference to
the subjoined second appeal from the Committee of Correspondence
at Quebec.
The Committee, whilst acknowledging with gratitude the aid
which has already reached them in behalf of the sufferers from the
first fire, take leave to remark that the contributions, though liberal,
are from a comparatively few corporations and individua's ; they do,
therefore, trust that this further severe dispensation of God's Provi-
dence will awaken a far more general sympathy in behalf of the
sufferers, as without a much grt ater assistance in money, clothes,
bedding, &c., the Committee are assured that many of the poor must
inevitably perish in the course of the coming winter.
The Committee will shortly announce at what places in town con-
tributions of clothing, bedding, &c., will be received for transmission
to Quebec.
