PRELIMINARY NOTICE.
Amongst the numerous 'projects recently brought forward for con-
necting important towns and districts in England by means of rail-
ways, no direct line of communication from Exeter to Tavistock, and
thence to Bodmin, has attracted the attention of the public. The
South Devon Railway from Exeter to Plymouth and Devonport, and
the Cornwall Railway, proceeding from those ports, but not approach-
ing Bodmin within several miles, afford a very sinuous, inconvenient,
and imperfect route between the two terminal points of the proposed
line, the 'attar of which is still unsupplied wills any immediate rail-'
I way facility. The Bideford and Tavistock Railway—now in projec-
tion--assis:ed by the Exeter and Crediton Railway, will supply in
like manner a very circuitous course of communication between
Exeter and Tavistock; but all these lines leave the midland districts
and several important tosths and villages totally void of railway
conveniences.
- The proposed -Exeter, Tavistock, and Bodmin Railway, however,
commencing at the City of Exeter, proceeding by or near to More-
ton-Hampstead, and throwing out a branch to Ashlsurton in its
course across the Forest of Dartmoor, will pursue a direct line to the
Parliamentary 'borough of Tavistock ; and, passing by or near Cal-
lington and Liskeard, will terminate at Bodmin, thus providing a
direct channel of• intercourse in a line 'not exceeding fifty-six miles
in length between the two terminal places, and furnishing the inter-
vening towns and villages with• the means of immediate transit to
Exeter in the east and Bodmin in the west, and extending from those
places to all parts of England. The existing railway from Bodmin
to Wadebridge will complete the line to the coast of Cornwall, in the
Bristol Channel.
Thus the direct line from Exeter to Rodmin, with the proposed
branch to Ashburton, will unite the whole of the midland districts
of Devonshire and Cornwall, comprising a tract of country occu-
pied by a large popnlation, and unrivalled for agricultural produce
and mineral wealth. • •
A prospectus and a map of the line are in course of preparation,
and, with the names of a powerful Provisional Committee, will
shortly be published.. In the interval, further information may be
obtained from Messrs. Phillips and• Son, No. 28, Lawrence Peuntney-
lane, solicitors to the undertaking ; and at the offices of the Com-
pany, No. V, Gresham-street, where application for shares may
be made. • •

This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable
route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the
northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward,
and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and
other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of
Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with
Southport and the west coast of Lancashire.
One portion of this railway will diverge Prom the present line of
the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a
communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will
accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the
places beyond.. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and
thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver-
pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta-
tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver-
pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south
docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This
portion of the main line will be twenty-four miles in length, and
will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and
thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under-
taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's,
In the village of Burscough, near which it will intersect and form a
junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed
thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will a vail
itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro-
ceeding thence by Hindley, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and
Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manch ester
Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury
Ilailway in Pendleton.
By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh _Rai— way at
Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of
Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty- eight miles of
new line, bringing Soutliport within thirty-three mil es of Manchester,
sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of 80l ton, and reduc-
ing the time occupied in the journey between Sou thport and Man-
chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that
favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts in like
proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive
means of transport, the dispach and economy of kthorough railway
communication.
The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu-
lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field
it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well
as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness
and variety.

This railway will also afford Increased facilities for conveying the
produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the
River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive
means of access to Stockport, the numbers resorting thither are very
great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci-
lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway
communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed-
ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase.
The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be
obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The colustry throughout
is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the
gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difliculdes,
and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through
the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of
the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver-
pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed
by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse-
quently in the success, of the undertaking.

PROSPECTUS.
The object of the proposed undertaking is to unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as farming a part of the
great integral scheme for making the best direct railway comunica-
tion from the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and
harbours in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain
of south coast communication front the
ports of Dover, Portsmouth,
and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
Between Yeovil and Westbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which
latter place it will join a proposed extension of the Berks and Hants
Railway from Hungerford, carried through the Pewsey Valley, as
shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. The Berks and
Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Bills have already
passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western
Railway Company will apply for the extension from Kungerford to
Westbury, only thirty-five miles, in the approaching session.
The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com-
mence at a distance of about three miles from Exeter, by a junction
with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed-
ing thence by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the
Valley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in
one direction, will continuo along the same valley, passing within
about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to connect
with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to-
wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset,
and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to
3irldport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway, loading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South-
ampton.
The fashionable watering-place of Sidmouth will be made acces-
sible to visitors from London and all parts of the country, by a branch
to that place from Ottery Saint Mary.
By reference to the map, it will be seen how effectually this line
will supply the only link wanting to complete the continuity of the
South Coast Lines, and will afford the best means for an entire
through trait) froul Cornwall and Devon to the different ports of
Lyme, Bridport, Weymouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth,
Shoreham, Brighton, Hastings, Dover and Ramsgate.
It is also a very important feature in the undertaking, which is
now submitted to the public, that it gives railway communication to
a line of country hitherto unsupplied with this essential means of in-
tercourse with the surrounding districts ; many towns of importance
will have the benefit of local hatercommunication, besides being
placed on a main and direct line of transit between the metropolis
and the most valuable seaports on the southern coast of England.
The inhabitants of the city of Exeter, and of all places beyond it,
will be brought to a reduced distance of 177 miles between Exeter
and London, instead of 194 miles, the whole being worked uninter-
ruptedly by one Company, on the same gauge, and on a line superior
to any that can be carried for the same object, in any other direc-
tion, whether considered with reference to the shorter new line re-
quired to be constructed, or to the comparatively easy gradients that
can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
Under these circumstances there can be no doubt that this railway
will not only confer incalculable benefits on the districts through
which it is intended to pass, and generally on the mineral and agri-
cultural produce of Devon and Cornwall, but will conduce to the vast
national object of rendering the harbours of Plymouth and Falmouth
most serviceable for every purpose of commerce, more easily acces-
sible for the arrival and dispatch of foreign mails and passengers,
avoidiag the delays and dangers of Channel navigation, and in case
of war, contributing to the security of British property, whether at
sea or on shore.
A mere glance at the map will satisfy every inquirer of the com-
mand this line must possess over an unusally large amount of export
and import trade, whether in passengers or in goods, independently
of the local resources of the country itself, which are known to be
very great.
One important item of local traffic on this line will be the article of
coil,with which the district is at present but imperfectly provided
on account of the high price necessarily paid for land carriage, limit-
ing very much the consumption by a large class of the population,
who must be greatly benefited by reduced cost of transit by railway.
The district from which coal may be brought is in the neighbourhood
of Radstock, in Somersetshire, to which place a branch of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway extends, and brings the coals
direct from the pit's mouth on to the line of railway.
The interests of the landed proprietors have been consulted through-
out the line, and it is confidently believed, from the strong local sup-
port it has received, that the legislature will sanction this measure
without hesitation.
It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Great Western
Railway Company, under a lease, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer-
set, and Weymouth Railway ; in consideration of which, the Great
Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the
proprietors four per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with
an increase of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one
per cent. upon their own stock, exceedieg eight per cent., which in-
crease shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great
Western Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and
the Great Western Railway Company are to become responsible for
all the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained
within the two next sessions of Parliament.
The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 501. each, upon which
a deposit of Si. per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no
further call will be made previously to obtaining the Aet of Incor-
poration.
Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act
shall have passed, on the deposit, and on all paid-up calls during the
construction of the, line, and until the dividends are provided for,
under the guarantee of the Great Western Railway Company.
Tile notices are already given, and the plans and books of re-
ference will be denasitod In time for the Act to be applied for at the
meeting of Parliament. If the Act should not be obtained, as before
mentioned, the deposit will be paid back to the proprietors, but with-
out interest.
A decided preference will be given to landowners and to parties

locally interested, or residing on the line, in the allotment of shares.
The prospectus may be obtained, and applications made tor shares,
to the Secretary of the Great Western Railway Company, at the
London office of the Company, 449, West Strand, or at the Padding-
ton or Bristol stations, or may be addressed to the care of any of the
Bankers and Solicitors.—Unexceptionable references must be given
when parties applying for shares are not personally known, or locally
interested in the line.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE..--On ironday Mr. George
Barr, Excise officer, of Brill, wag discovered suspended from
a beam, dead, in a malt-house, the property of Mr. Parsons,
brewer. He was forty-eight years of age, and has left a
wife and numerous family. He was for many years on duty
as an Excise officer in London, but had been removed to
Brill about two years. On the maltster going to the malt-
house on Monday morning, he found the deceased suspended
in the upper part of the building, from a beam, by a halter.
He had thrown himself from a ladder, which he had placed
for the purpose. His hat was near him, in which was placed
a sheet of paper, on which the deceased had writton on one
side—" My dear wife, pray to God for protection ; the blessed
angels have been with me ;" and on the other—" Whoever
finds me, send some female to my blessed wife, and may the
Lord Jesus Christ protest her and my beloved children. I
have had so much trouble with my son George, that I could
not bear up against it. 0 may the Almighty turn his heart,
and him (he) put his trust in him. 0, my dear wife and
children, pray to God, and he will protect you all. Send
to your brother: you will have a hard struggle, but the
blessed God will protect you. I have seen the angels, and
I trust I shall be happy in the next world.—Your loving
husband, G. BARR."

THE YARMOUTH MURDER.
(From the Cambridge Advertiser.)
The following is the copy of a statement made by Mrs.
Dick, before the Mayor, relative to the murder of the late
Mrs. Candler:—
" The information of Sarah Dick, wife of John Dick, taken
the 25th day of o:tober, 1845, before William Hurry Palmer,
Esq., Mayor (now deputy), who deposeth as follows :—About
three weeks after the trial for the murder of Harriet Candler,
I met with Samuel Yarh.am at the top of the Market-row,
on the pavement in the Ma.-:cet-place near Mr. Fenn's in the
forenoon about 11 o'clock; he stopped me and said, how do
you do ? I said I don't know you.. He said, Yarham, and said
do either of these men interfere with you, either Royal',
Hall, or Mapes? I replied, not so much with me as they did
with the girl (meaning my daughter). I said do they inter-
fere with you? He said as they knowed better. I said that
if it had been me that you said so much, I would have given
it to you well when I-got out, if I had to go to gaol for it
seven years. He again said they knowed better, and I got
upon the road way to come away, and made answer, you are
either the murderer yourself or you know well who did it;
he touched me on the shoulder and said stop bar and I'll tell
you all 'about it. I said Ido not want to hear it; he again
said I'll Sell you all about it. I said well what do ybu say
about it. He then said be was not so much to blame as Hall,
Royall, and Mapes. He said they heard Mrs. Candler had got
money, and they never would let him rest, but always
wanted him to let them in, and they had heard that Mr.
Catchpole was going to the Angel, and they wanted to be in
that night, and he made a bargain with them not for to
meddle with her, but to go in when she went for the beer;
for sometimes she would be out a quarter of an hour; they
were not to touch her—to use her badly—but to get the
money—so they came, and he was to let them in; they came
at first between 10 and 11 to the back door, and she was
going about, and the shop was not shut in, so Royall watched
about till very near 11, till she went for the beer, he let them
in, and there was a deal of drinking in the Swan, and noise,
and he told them to go into the bed-room first, the money
was always there. She came in sooner than what she
generally did, and he said, he and the boy Mapes and Hall
were in her bed-room, and he had a candle in his hand and
Royall was at the back of the counter, and when they
heard her he put the candle out and sat down on the bed and
did not know what to do, and sat for a few minutes, and Mrs.

Candler sat down at the fire-side, and Royall moved at the
back of the counter and she came out and asked Royal,
what he wanted. I know you, says she, and he said he
wanted half an ounce of tobacco. She turned round to get
the tobacco, and he struck her; then the others they came
out, and Hall had a pair of pincers in his hand, and lie beat
her about the head, and they left her lying till they had got
-43.11--tha money, as they expeetad,-and he (Yarham) and
Mapes went into the bed-room again, and Jigger nailed up
something over the lights and shut the door, and they all
sought the money. He said they might have long sough.

might have seen that it was no hammer—so t

they
looked at the old woman and tone thought she wis dead, and
they listened to hear if any one was passing or repassing;
and Mas went out first and went across the street to a girl
or a woman; so then they all three (Yarhatn, Royall, and
Hall) came out together, and they three went up the Black
Swan-row, and Alapes and the woman followed ; and the
woman hearing a great noise in the Swan went in there and
called for something, to see who was there, and she said
there was a deal of the Angel men drinking there, and were
happy enough, for the words they made use of were, let us
have another pot, some old must pay for it that never
saw it. Then they all went to hide the money, and they
met different people they knew, and when they got across
the market they saw one of the policemen, which proved to
be Layton ;so Jigger went round the fish-market and into
his father's house, and the others made on with the money.
Then he heard a noise like a whistle somewhere about the
Bleach, and he told them to go on and hide it, for his house
was sure to be searched, and to give him a signal when they
had hid it. Then he went home, and he heard Mrs. Candler,
moaning, alid he went in.to,,see; Ter.-1101th afraid' fOr she
surely'knew them all, and the lard knife was laying when he
went in; and she turned her eyes upon him, and he cut her
throat, and she put her hand to grip the knife; and that was
the way her poor hand was cut. I told him then that he
was the murderer himself, and he said 'No, it was Hall,
and Royall beat her so with the pinchers that she could not
have lived.' And I said, ' Did not Mapes meddle
with her ? ' and he said, No • he only plundered
the house.' And I told him he ought to have
spoken the truth at first, and things would have been
different. He then told me to say nothing !bout it, because
that his solicitors told him that they wanted to fetch me in
it, that I hid done it with him. I forgot to say that Yarham,
after cutting her throat, said that he went up stairs and
washed his hands, and he was much put about, and that his
wife had had leeches on but was not to say sick, but was
down the next morning apparently well, whether it was from
agitation or not he could not tell, and that when Royall came
to give the signal he (Yarham) threw the window up, but he
could not see him, but came down stairs and looked out at
the front passage after him, and he sato him going past John-
son's shop, and the policeman Waller coming down towards
him (Yarham), but they did not speak to each other, and he
(Yarliam) went in again. He said he let his master in, but
he did not say anything to him. Some one then spoke to
Yarham, and they went away together. I have not seen
Yarham since to speak to.

" The mark SARAH DIC"
The above extraordinary statementof was made, but the
Mayor declined administering an oath. It is much to be
feared that it will not prove available to the conviction of the
murderer.

THE CORN QUESTION.
The Constitutionnel, speaking of the prevailing scarcity,
observes--" The difference in the harvests from one year to
another are decidedly not so considerable now as formerly.
The progress made in agriculture has done away with a vast
number of those causes which formerly comprised the
harvests. The falling off formerly was one-third, one-half,
and even two thirds of the quantity requisite for consump-
tion, and the last century shows the most afflicting sourentrs
in that respect, but since that period the produce of corn has
never been below the ordinary quantity more than 20 or 25
per cent. 'We have not in reality for upwards of 40 -years
had mora than one really bad harvest, and that was in 1817.

deficiency to be equally divided among the consumers they
would not undergo any very serious deprivation ; but un-
fortunately such is not the case. The high price of
bread does not diminish the consumption of the
higher classes, and scarcely alters that of the middle classes,
so that the deficiency falls almost entirely upon the lower
classes, and the deficiency, instead of being at the rate of
25 per cent., is augmented to at least 40 or 45 per cent. This
difference is enormous for stomachs accustomed to a food, a
large quantity of which contains in reality but little nourish-
ment, and as the misery increases, the physical powers
diminish in a proportionate ratio. The difference in the
consumption of food in different countries, under the same
latitude, is very remarkable. In England the oonsump-
tion of corn is 220 kilogrammes each person in the year.
In Russia it is 400; in France, 200; in Bavaria, 220; in
Saxony, 160; in Austria, 145. It is somewhat singular
that the consumption of the article salt should follow in
nearly the same progression as that of bread. In Austria,
for instance, the consumption is 5 kilogrammes per head ; in
Bavaria it is 9, and in England 11. The quantity is even
more considerable in Russia. This fact completely de-
stroys the assertion which has frequently been made,
that vegetable nourishment requires more salt to make
it wholesome than animal food. In England, where the
consumption of meat is 31 kilogrammes per head, three times
the quantity of salt is requisite, as in Austria, where the
consumption is only 14 kilogrammes. The same observa-
tion will apply to Bavaria, where the consumption of meat
is 22 kilogrammes per head per annum. The greatest con-

The consumption of beer is also greater there than in any
place else. It is, indeed, something extraordinary, being
800 quarts per head per annum, and is consequently four
times greater than that of England. Now that a famine
threatens Bavaria, the deprivations which the people will
have to submit to, and how much the inhabitants of the
capital will have to reduce their wants, real or imaginary,
may be easily conceived. The Austrians are probably the
most sober people of the Continent, yet they are nowise de-
ficient in physical strength. The preceding details prove
that the problem of subsistencies has been, up to the present
period, but very imperfectly studied, notwithstanding that
it is the question of all others in which the human race is
most interested."
The Emancipation (a Brussels journal) contains the fol-
lowing account of the measures taken to meet the scarcity
in Belgium :—" The Central Board of Relief held a meeting
at the Hotel de Ville on the 11th instant. Upon the propo-
sition of M. Schuermans, president of the sub-committee,
the following propositions were agreed upon with regard to
that sub-committee:—'The lists of labourers and other
persons who shall be admitted to make purchases in the
depots of the Board shall be drawn up by the committees of
charity of each parish by the societies of beneficence, by the
manufacturers and shopkeepers. For this purpose set forms
of lists shall be addressed with the least possible delay to
those respective parties. There shall be delivered to the
persons admitted to make purchases in the aforesaid
depOts cards numbered, and bearing the name of the
person coming to effect such purchases, the nature
of his calling, his residence, the number of persons com-
posing his family, and the disposition of article 15 of the
organic regulation. They shall moreover be stamped with
the seal of the Board (article 11 of the organic regula
tion). The cards shall be withdrawn by the sub-committee
entrusted with their deliverance when it shall be found that
they have become useless, or when they shall be made a
bad use of ; and upon being returned they shall lose their
value. The lists and the number of cards distributed and
withdrawn, shall be communicated to the Central Board
at each of its sittings. The six members of the com-
mittee shall exercise a continual surveillance, visiting and
controlling the office of inscriptions by turns once every
week. They shall assemble at the Hotel de Ville every
Friday at six o'clock in the evening, upon pain of forfeiting
3f., and such as shall arrive beyond the hour shall forfeit If.
The money thus forfeited to be placed at the disposal of the
Board. Upon the proposition of M. Boks d'Hamer, secre-
tary to the second committee entrusted with mak,ng the e-
cessary purchases, the Board decided upon the natureand
mightobe
allowed to purchase. The following was the decission the
of
quantity of the articles which the bearers of card
Board in that respect Every two days for each person
one loaf weighing one kilogramme. Each person weekly
_or a quart of
seven kilogrammes of potatoes, or seven tickets f
soup each (the Board decided that by way of trial it would
cause to be made and offered for sale every day soup made
from meat). Children between the ages of three and twelve
years to be allowed half the above quantity. Weekly for
every family fifty kilogrammes of buck wheat bread.' The
&aid, moreover, decided upon the proposition of the sub-
committee—l. That it would apply to Government, in order
to obtain the free transport, or at a very low charge by the
Government railroads, by the canal of Charleroy, or any
other means, the purchases of grain, &c., which it might be
necessary to make. 2. That it would demand of the college
of burgomasters and sheriffs authority to purchase, at the
lowest possible price, the corn, rice, potatoes, &c., in such
quantities as might be deemed necessary by the sub-com-
mittee, the said quantities, however, to be approved of by
the college in conformity with article 6 of the organic regu-
lations. 3. That it would demand permission to have the
supplies of butter and coals, which might be deemed necessary
offered to public adjudication."
