PROSPECTUS.
The Bill for making a Railway from Plymouth to Falmouth, and
the West Cornwall Railway Bill, having been both rejesteMPdrj
llinne.eotllne,uorttheteellitilren'the ireat area of Devonshire west
of Exeter, and the whole of the county of Cornwall, are now desti-
tute of railway accommodation.
The object of the present undertaking Is to provide an efficient sys-
tem of railway communication fur the whole of this Western Peniu-
sale ; and as the waste of capital and time, involved in the circuitous
route by Bristol, is greatly co eplained 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. It was this
Central Line, westward, which the Committee of the House of Lords,
in the Wilts and Somerset Railway Bill, in the late session, obliged
the Great Western Railway Company to pledge themselves not to
oppose ; and which they speak of in their report " as the line 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 coin-
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.
The saving 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 lane in the event of war; and re-
membering, too, that this must eventually become the highway to
the 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 e,ectric telegraph, can hardly be over-rated.
The central district from Exeter, Westward, has been recently re-
surveyed, and has been found to afford a main trunk line, with good
locomotive gradients, attainable without engizeering difficulties, and
at a reasonable expense ; the general course being sear or through
Crediton, Bow, Hatherleigh, North Tawton, Okehampton, Launces-
ton, Camelford Bodmin, St. Coiumb, Sr. Austell, (by means of a
branch,) Truro, and Penryn, to Falmouth ;—at Truro, an 'extension
line through West Cornwall will diverge to Chacewater, liedruth
Camborne, Hoyle, (with a branch to St. Ives,) Marazion, and Per
=nee.

This extension runs for more than 30 miles th-ough the most popu-
lous and flourishing part of Cornwall; and the Tables of the recently
rejectly West Cornwall Bill showed an existing traffic, through that
district, of 101. per cent. after deducting working expenses. But as
the constructing and working this line by a separate company would
be produclive of unnecessary expense and IDCOUVellielleC to the public,
the lint to Penzance, as well as to Faluacuth, will form an integral
portion of the main work under one and the same management.
From Trt.ro, eastward, the main line will pass several important
mines; and near Bodmin will throw out a branch through the China
rimy district to St. Austen, and its populous mining neighbourhood.
It will als avail itself of the railways now in process of construction
from Newquay on the north, and Par on the southern Channel; whilst a connexion with the already constructed railway from &A-
min to Watlebridge, will open, through the port of Padstow, the best
communication between Cork, the south of Ireland, and London.
Advancing farther, an opportunity will occur ef establishing a traffic
with the well-known Del:thole Slate Quarries on the one hand, and the
flourishing Caradon Mines on the other ; whilst the sand supplied by
the Butle Canal, and the lime which abounds in the neighbourhood
of Launceston, will forum the subject ef most considerable transport
into the highly improvable agricultural districts westward and east-
ward.

Passing onward into Devonshire, a branch will be thrown out from
the main line to the port of Bideford, thus opening, for the mineral
produce of Wales, a market in Central Devon and Cornwall, which
are destitute of coal ; and another branch will diverge southward by
Tavistock to Plymouth, thus affording the most direct communica-
tion between those towns and Exeter. This branch being also
accessible from Launceston will open for the north and West of Corn-
wall, and for Falmouth, a line to Plymouth, in point of time, shorter
than the lately projected line across the Ilamoaze from Plymouth to
Falmouth, Should the traffic, nevertheless, be found to justify an-
other branch from a point near Bodmin, through Liskeard, to Ply-
mouth, such a branch may and will be constructed.
Arriving within fourteen miles of Exeter, the main line will be
joined from the north by a direct line from Ilfracombe and Barn-
staple to Exeter, and about seven miles further on by the Dartmouth,
Brixham, Torbay, and Exeter line, an amalgamation of which two
lines is now raider consideration, thus affording to these two friendly
companies a direct communication from north to south, from the
Bristol to the English Channel, and carrying their traffic on one com-
mon trunk., on to one common terminus, with the Yeovil line at
Exeter.

The inspection of a map will better show the Importance of this
Comprehensive scheme, which overspreads the surface of Devon and
Cornwall, and leaves little to be desired to give full value and effect
to objects of such importance.
The supply and demand created by this large area,—lts population,
amounli-g to more thou 600,000,—its Ports, situate on both Chan-
nels,—its Fisheries, Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural advan-
tages,—its exports of Corn, Wool, and Cattle,—lts probable con-
sumption of Coal, Manure, and general supplies,—were fully
gone into in the recent inquiry before the House of Lords, and forcibly
require increased facilities, and diminished cost of transport. The
general evidence, also, given in that House, showed a good remune-
rative existing traffic, without any such increase as may reasonably
he expected from a well-digested system of Branches and when tha
further Increase in passenger and general traffic, east and west, Is
taken into consideration, which must necessarily arise from bringing
FAlmouth, its harbour and foreign relations, and l'enzance, with its
much-sought climate and early markets, so much nearer to the Me-
tropolis, and the northern and eastern parts of England than can
possibly be accomplished by any other devisable railway communi-
cation; and when it is also borne in mind, that from the Peninsular
form of the county cf Cornwall this line, when established, can have
no competitor, it is not too much to assert that this project offers a
very eligible opportunity for the Investment of capital.
The strong feeling in favour of a central line, evinced by public
meetings and petitions from every part of the county of Cornwall
and West Devon; the support of Noblemen, Magistrates, Merchants,
Mine-owners, and Agriculturists, in the recent struggle : the numerous
and strong assurances ofsupport already received from the landowners
and general interests along the line; and the hearty concurrence

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

THE BRISTOL AND DOVOR DIRECT
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY, connecting Bristol,
Wales, and the Important Western and North-western Districts,
with Kent and France.
Capital 800,0001., in 32,000 Shares of 251. each.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Deposit 21. 15s. per Share.
(In pursuance of the new Standing Orders of the House of Lords.)
This line is projected for the purpose of affording a direct commtuti-
cation between the two great ports mentioned in its title, and to effect
this purpose it is proposed to commence at Devizes, which by other
projects is about to be placed in connexion with Bath and Bristol. It
will then pass in a south-easterly direction through or near and
giving a communication to the populous and important towns of Lud-
genital!, Andover, Whitchurch, Basingstoke (where the Southampton
Railway has a station), Odikani, and Farnham to Godalming. Here
it will form a janction with other lines, which will complete the
communication to the Reigate station of the London and Dovor Rail-
way; or, should it be necessary, in consequence of the failure of any
of the projected railways in this locality, the present project will
itself be extended to Dorking and Reigate, at which latter point the
Brighton Railway is united with the Dover.
From a consideration of this route, and by a glance at the map, it
will at once be seen that this project will place in immediate cou-
nexion the mineral and great coal districts of Wales—the vast traffic
that empties itself into Bristol from the Birmingham branch line via
Gloucester—the West of England cloth districts—the immense pro-
ductions of the north—together with the commercial traffic with
Ireland (now so much on the increase), with the important towns
and hop districts of central Kent and its eastern coasts, Canterbury,
Tonbridge, Maidstone, Ashford, Folkestone, and Dovor, &c. ; open-
ing at the same time a direct road to Calais, Paris, Boulogne, and
Dieppe, shorter than any now formed or projected, and with less
sea voyaging, thus forming the great passenger route from Ireland
and Wales to France.
Independently, however, of the great through traffic above alluded
to, the local trade between the various towns on the intended line is
certainly of considerable importance and sufficient in itself to yield
an ample return to the Shareholders. At Devizes centres the great
western cloth trade ; and when the railway communication to Melks-
ham and thence to Bath and Bristol is completed, a continuous
stream both of passengers and goods must pour into that town, from
whence the only channel for their due transmis ion eastwards will
be afforded by the railroad now contemplated.
The Importance of affording a direct and speedy transit for
the communications between the western parts of this country,
and the Continent must be obvious ; and when the large num-
ber of railways now in progress, both in France and Ireland,
towards their respective coasts, aro completed, this current of
through traffic must be increased to an incalculable extent,
between the above countries. The increasing trade and accom-
modation afforded at the ports of Dovor and Folkestone point
out this line as pre-eminently adapted for the conveyance of
passengers and merchandise destined for the Continent, especially to
those by whom the shortness of the voyage by sea is considered as a
preliminary to an excursion in France. Without entering into official
details, it may be well to observe that the number of passengers em-

.„...
barking and disembarking annually at Folkestone and Dovor is of
surprising extent ; whilst the traffic in merchandise since the opening
of the railways from the metropolis, and the establishment of re-
gular passage vessels with the French coast, has exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of the great merchant traders. It is but rea-
sonable, therefore, to calculate, that when an equal facility is afforded
fur Bristol (that long-established depot for the Irish and Welsh
trade), and the important districts at present obliged either to com-
municate with Dovor and Folkestone by a circuitous route, or to ab-
stain entirely from the benefits of foreign trade, on account of the
want of direct access, that the commercial interests of the Kentish
coast will be immeasurably increased, anl a stimulus at the same
time will be given to the western trade by a ready and reciprocal in-
tercourse with the Continent.
In addition to the existing advantages which have thus been al-
ready alluded to in this prospectus, it should always be remembered
that it is not to these only that speculators are entitled to look in cal-
culating on the profits of such an enterprise, but that they are in all
cases fully justified in assuming a vast increase in the local traffic
when the facilities for it shall be so greatly increased ; it haying been
invariably found that, upon the completion of a railroad, commerce
and passengers have sprung up to use it to an extent never contem-
plated by Its most sanguine promoters ; and not only has this taken
place from towns already existent, but new neighbourhoods of im-
portance have arisen in the vicinity, thus showing that railways not
only afford the medium of communication for previously established
marts of trade, but have themselves the faculty of creating, when-
ever they pass, towns and markets for ther own support and the en-
richment of their enterprising proprietors.
This line, which is intended to sup; ly an important link in rail-
way communication hitherto overlooked, has no competing scheme
either existent or projected with which to come in collision ; and
from the inspection which has been made, the road is considered free
from any great engineering difficulties, while, from the favourable
sentiments of the landed proprietary on the route towards it, no
opposition on their part need be anticipated. Active negotiations
are on foot for the co-operation of the powerful companies affected
by this projection, from which the most beneficial results are confi-
dently anticipated.

A prospectus, containing the names of a powerful Committee and
the officers, will be ready in a few days ; and in the mean time fur-
ther particulars may be obtained and applications for shares received
at the temporary offices, 6, Liverpool-street, liroad-strea.r.

SOLICITCrICK.."
Messrs. Alcock and Dixon, Burnley
Messrs. Hall and Baldwin, Clitheroe
BANKER'.
The Craven Banking Company, at Settle, Skipton, Burnley,
Clitheroe, Colne, and Keighley
has long been considered strange, but such is the fact, that in
the large and important districts of North Lancashire and Craven,
which may be termed provinces, or almost counties, in themselves,
no public Fire nod Life Assurance Company has yet been established,
although comprising property of every description of hazard to an al-
most incalculable amount.
It is therefore proposed to found a Society or Company, to be
called the NORTH LANCASHIRE and CRAVEN ASBURANCE
COMPANY, under the prow 'ions of the above Act, which will give
to the public all the benefits of a mutual Assurance Company, and
secure to the Shareholders a reasonable amount of profit.
The Company will be organised, and its rules and regulations de-
fined, by a deed of settlement, to be made pursuant to the Act re-
ferred to, and proper measures will be taken for the purpose of effec-
tually restricting the liability of each Shareholder to the amount of
his or her subscriptions respectively.
By the Act above referred to for the registration of Insurance Com-
panies not more than ten shillings per cent. is allowed to be celled
for until the full registration of the Company ; consequently a deposit
of five shillings per share only will be called for on the allotment.
It is probable that not more than 51. per cent. on the amount of
each share will be called for, which experience in similar under-
takings has shown to be abundantly sufficient in the outset, the re-
mainder of the subscribed capital being intended only as a guarantee,
in extraordinary exigencies.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land. !s well known to all persons
cmaversant with the island of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and
Kingston occupies forty-four houre, and the costs, including expenses
on the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger ; while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be
traversed in eight hours, at au expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger.
The difference in the freights between the northern and southern
sides of the island and England is such, that, Independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the ad-
vantage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour o
Kingston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed
ports of the east and north of the island.
The line will commence at a spacious 'quay, to 'oe constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of
the largest tonnage employed hi the export trade of the island, at or
near which point it is proposed to form a junction with the Kingston
and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port Antonio, Buff Bay, Annotto Bay, Port
Maria, St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near
Montego Bay. By these means a line of intercommunication will be
formed between the most important and populous places, and facility
offered for carriage of the produce of the most productive portion of
the island.
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevatioes, almost parallel to the principal range ef mountains
I which run east and west, nearly thelength of the Island ; the east-
' ern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost level ;
while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country, rising
into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The whole
of the country traversed by the line abounds in the staple articles of
sugar, coffee, ruin, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other spices, dye-
woods, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the land is still un-
cultivated, the production of these articles will, by the increased
facility for traffic, be greatly increased; and cotton, indigo, cocoa,
kc., and dye stuffs, at present uninsported, will again be brought
into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety abounds along
the line; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes spontaneously :
there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish elm, fine cedar,
and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will also bring largely
into use the valuable palmetto, and various other woods for agricul-
tural and household purposes and cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the wintry on the line is very considerable;
lead ore is extremely rich, and heavily impregnated with silver ;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it high:y probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material* ne-
cessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the anappropriated land required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly;
the mineral wealth which may be developed by the construction of
the line will accompany the grants of the land, and may be leased to
capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports and the internal traffic a satisfactory esti-
mate can scarcely be given. It will be sufficient to state that coals,
fish, lime and salt, empty puncheons, shingles, bricks, hoops, lead,
timber, provisions, cattle, flour, tobacco, hardwares, and manufac-
turas generAly, form important sources of profit.

HEROIC CONDUCT ON A RAILWAY.—Last Thursday
one of the most pro►idential escapes, as regards human life, occurred
on the rail .vay connected with the Bishopwearmouth iron works.
The iron works in question extend over a wait extent of country,
and, for the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other,
railways have been established, one of which is formed on an in-
clined plane, down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled
at a fearful rate. On the morning of the above day, while one
of the trains of waggons was passing down, two very old women,
each being nearly seventy years of age, labouring under de-
fective sight sight as well as hearing, got on the line. A few
seconds more they both must have inevitably been crushed to
death. Their perilous situation was, however, witnessed by Mr.
David Holsgrove, the overlooker of the works, who in an instant
dashed forward and seized the two females, whom he threw off the
line, and out of the way of danger. Unfortunately the engine at
this instant came up, which knocked Mr. Holsgrove down, and he
was picked up as dead. He was instantly conveyed to one of the
buildings in the vicinity, and medical aid was sent for, when, upon
examination, it was discovered that he had sustained several con-
tusions about the head, that both his arms were broken in two
places, and also one of his legs, besides other injuries about the
body. It is supposed that some part of the train must have gone
over the limbs. Although so severely and dangerously injured,
hopes are entertained of his recovery. The two females escaped
without the slightest injury.

ables Col. VERNER to declare that " Orange procevierif

who was apt to examine his liability to get into serale
of all kinds, by declaring that this or that " inisadve'cit
ture never would have happened to him, if it 1101:101
been that he wore on the occasion a certain reirte
boots, which always walked him into mischief." P°°:if

of Roman Catholics in Ireland were accustomed ar
endure from the conduct of Orange processions, ret!'ro
have arisen, after all, from some unfortunate select°
