This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.
The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the aespicee of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
The object proposed is to make a direct eornmtmiestion between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applie.d for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

1 procally with the counties through which the railway Is Intended to
pass, the revenue nron the capltal will yield at least 10 per cent.
As the project developed itself, the most cheering patronage is
manifest from influential landowners and other proprietors declaring
that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands;
and who have promised to give this project their undivided support.
Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send
troops with all their materiel by railways, and the facilities whist
can be thus afforded will form a communicating medium with ever;
military depot throughout Great Britain.
Suffice it to state that coal, wool. timber, corn, bark, lime, anu
every variety of product or manufacture must inevitably dud theli
transit by this railway, to meet the demands or exigencies of se-
veral counties hitherto subjected to the impost of incalculable ex-
pense and delay attendant on goods at pretknt being compelled to
pass through London.

The object of this line is to effect a direct eoMmtmication between
London and the Land's End.
In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. 'With
the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its situation at the
western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since
have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of
at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po-
sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad-
vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in-
oreased its imports` rom 200,0001. to 3,000,0001. per annum. At Bris-
tol, before the opening of the Great Western Railway, the imports
were declining ; since then they have very considerably increased.
The merits of a line to the Land's End as an investment for ca-
pital, it was not left to the present Company to discover. The Great
Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached
Exeter, it has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal-
mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been
set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reacled by
railway.
The object of this prospectus is to show that ne other line than the
present can ultimately satisfy the exigencies of the country in regard
to this, its most important entport—" the natural Packet Station of
the empire."
The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is
as nearly as possible a straight line from Landon to the Land's End.
The London, Bath, and Bridgewater company having amalga-
mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded
by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct
line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford-
ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company.
The Direct Western availing itself of the Great Western Railway
so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger-
tbrfl, Great Bedwin, Marlborough,
Devizes, the manufacturing dis-
trict of Trowbridge (from which a diverging line will be carried by
Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome, Shepton Mallet, Wells
(from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater),
Glastonbury to Tannton, being shorter by about thirty-two
miles than any existing railways between these points, and without
a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now ,
leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is
proposed to carry this lin, direct to the Landis End, Falai:N.:a,. St.
Ives, and Penzance, boing shorter by :stout sixty niiirs tnaa the
lately proposed line by vrty of Plymouth, and effecting, in the whole
(jitance num London to Falmouth, a saving of also= ninety miles.
to, the traffic on the up iNV Port/Ott of the line it I
4411/0 ay*
, was Past Sten iv tgotiugh VOW ea

Cent to instify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes- 1
tern : that it will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton
about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural
and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as
well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro-
jected,
with every chance of success.
As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that
the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the
Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in
insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at
once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway;
and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports
on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by
means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol
and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth
of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire
may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and
Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a•larger propor-
tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a
traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the
amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the
map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be
established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between
Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex-
tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So-
mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of
railroad accommodation.
_

Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom; It may not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter
Railways, he is reported to have said :—"I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not
a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the
report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
Rot hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
was last session rejected, on the ground that ;t might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and
correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for-
wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
liament.

It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no
engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at an unusually small expense; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that
this will prove to bo one of the most remunerative railways in the
kingdom.
Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at
four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference

This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its im-
portance cannot he questioned, traversing, as it will, a locality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may
be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten Miles, and a
densely-populated neighbourhood, the property around which is open,
flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a
line of railway.
In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot,
Sunning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and farm the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter and the whole of the
south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hun-
gerford -bridge on the south side of the river by the Richmond Rail-
way, by means of a branch from Hounslow to Richmond.
The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are
made, the deposits have been duly paid, the parliamentary contract
signed and completed.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vatiles, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable
products.

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorganshire, where Iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best description for * team purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other.
that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested.
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
line.

This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cadriff, from whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded.
It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass
between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
British channel.

A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable
gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca-
pital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking.
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall he under the control of the Managing Directors, to
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 forma-
tion, 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 addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first D!rectors of the Company.
In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to
landowners on the line and other parties locally interested.
Prospectuses and Maps may be had of, and applications for
Shares, may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James,
Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London ; to W. Morgan, Esq.,
Solicitor, Bridgend, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles in length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most import int manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Hud.lerslield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire; the South Staffordshire
portion including Dudley, Tipton,Walsall, Bilston, Wednesbury, and
Wolverhampton.
This line will also open a direct railway communication between
Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshire and Kidder-
minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton,
and Exeter, and with Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford, Brecon. Car-
diff, Neath, Swansea, Llanelly, Caermarthen, Milford Haven, Fish-
guard, Aberystwith, and with Porthdynllaen, the future outport for
Ireland. And also the most direct communication between Leeds
and Southampton.
Tke line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through Ellaston and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Chapel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holmfirth to Huddersfield, where it will
join the iludderstield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, In addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magnesian limestone on the
route, in addition to forming a direct, speedy, and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.

Arrangements have been made with other companies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds.

Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 cwt. of the former being
equal to a ton of the latter), and producing a hefts,* quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-
sive, the line from the Callon Mines having to go by canal round
by Etruria, Leek, and the Potteries, to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashhourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire; and the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In addition to these great advan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultural
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
lime and coal, and that of an inferior quality, and by expensive car-
riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immense
traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford-
shire, n.s d Worcestershire Junction Railway.

The calculations which have been made show a very large profit.
There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want
an outlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into MU work.
The coal is of a superior quality.
There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne,
Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire
is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular care will be
taken, in passing of the line near Dovedale, not to interfere with or
change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience,
therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great
influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure.
Ironstone is not so abundant in the South as in North Staffordshire,
and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive
canal company, which this and other lines of railway meeting at
Uttoxeter will remedy.
The gypsum formation runs from Staffordshire to the Humber, and
the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac-
turing purpose, along this line will be great.
The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest
Banks, Bagels Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000
ores, ellityriv finds its to the :Man lesrcr market by C.

like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey-
ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap
Communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to
a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering
