PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
CAMBRIDGE and COLCHESTER
RAILWAY.

Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Sha,es of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail-
way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in-
fluential names, will appear in a few days.
This railways will commence at tha University town of Cambridge,
and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the
towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Hedingham, and Hal-
stead, proceeding by Thorp and Weeley to Walton-on-the-Naze.
On reference to the map, it with be seen that this line will pass
through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway
accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion
with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich,
and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be
formed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of
the north, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver-
pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral
districts of Staffordshire, the important towas of Birmingham and
Worcester, north and south Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban-
bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England,
as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport
towns on the eastern coast.

A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve
the harbour of Harwich, a Company has been thrilled to make large
and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich
being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in
communication with the railways In Germany) there is no doubt
but that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-tort town for exten-
sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful
feeder to this line.

The town of Colchester is also a sea-port, from which coals and
goods In large quantities are supplied to Halstead and the adjacent
Populous towns and villages, and goods, flour, malt, &c., in large
quantities are shipped (supplied from the district through which this
line is proposed to pass) to London and other places.
Therefore this line will open a communication much needed, and
there cannot be any doubt but that the undertaking is one of great
importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po-
pulous dis tract of country through which it will pass, and that it
will pay a good rate of Interest on the capital invested
From Colchester the line will proceed to the fast-improving and
much admired watering-place, Walton-on the-Naze, passing through
Thorp and Keeley, and thereby affording railway accommodation
from the Midland Counties to that place of summer resort for sea
bathing, _ _

PRELIMINARY NOTICE.
V HE EXETER, TIVERTON, AND MINE-
READ DIRECT RAILWAY, with extension from Minehead
to Ilfracombe.

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital, 1,600,0001., in 64,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit, 2/. 12s. 6d. per Share.
This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of .this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west
of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Batup-
ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, front whence the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-3larten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the uorth coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels.

PROSPECTUS.
This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an extensive
mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone is ad-
mitted to be sufficient to support a railway and amply remunerate the
shareholders; the line will not only accomplish so desirable an ob-
ject, but it also possesses the advantage of forming a direct commu-
nication, by the shortest practicable route, (in connexion with exist-
ing and projected railways) between two of the most important
divisions of the kingdom.

It is intended to commence by joining the Grad Junction
Railway at Stafford, and proceed by Uttoxeter, Rocester and
Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the
Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the
Amber Gate, Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway,
at the general terminus at Amber Gate ; a short branch from Wirks-
worth will connect the line with that town, and the important lime-
stone and mineral district connected with it. The line will be about
forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland Railway at
Amber Gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at Uttoxeter, will
be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York, Leeds, Hull,
the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and the north and
north-eastern parts of England, to the salt districts of Cheshire, the
Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its junction at Stafford
with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be the nearest route tcom
those important districts to Shrewsbury and South Wales, and by the
Grand Junction Railway to the densely populated districts of South
Staffordshire.

The district is destitute of water communication, and it is only
necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources of the coun-
try to chew the magnitude of the local traffic.

The price of coal Won all parts of the line is very high, being carted
a distance of 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensible article of
consumption will be reduced nearly one half, as this line will imme-
diately conununicate with the Derbyshire and Staffordshire coalfields.
The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble
which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom, and also nu-
merous lead smelting works and rolling mills, producing large
quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible
supply of lime for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the
Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the
copper and zinc smelting works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle,
and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles
manufactured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby,
a distance of more than twenty miles. _ _

Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will unques-
tionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this railway ; large
importations of Scotch and Yorkshire cattle will be brought for fat-
tening on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, taking in return to the
consuming districts, the corn, cheese, wool, and other produce of the
extensive and fertile agricultural district which is interected by this
railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs of
Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance.
The iron furnaces of South Staffordshire consume annually nearly
a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the ironmasters
give a decided preference to the limestone of the South Peak, over
any other that has hitherto been tried; the very great Risibility of
this stone rendering it peculiarly suitable as a flux for reducing the
stubborn iron ores of South Staffordshire, and were it not for the di-
latory and expensive means of transit, it would now be used to the
total exclusion of all other kinds. The proximity of this railway to
the iron district, the fact of its entering the limestone range at its
most southern extremity, and the advantage of exeavating the stone
immediately on the line of rails, cannot but insure to it a very large
share of that enormous traffic, if it do not engross the whole.
The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very numerous.
When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland
Junction Railway, open this romantic scenery to the industrious arti-
zans who chiefly compose the great hives of population with which
this railway will communicate, and make it easily accessible to this
class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both of time and money, the
revenue from this source alone during the summer months will be
found to be of no inconsiderable amount.

The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele-
ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more
than ordinary security.
The landowners on the line are favourable to this undertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.

Arrangements have been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail-
way Company, who take a portion of the capital, and give the line
their support and co-operation.
The Committee of Management are fortunate in having secures
the valuable s rvices of Mr. Locke, as consulting engineer, and of
Mr. Meeke, as resident engineer, who have assured the Committee
that the plans and surveys will be ready for application to Parlia-
ment the next session.

tors. Plans and prospectuses may be obtained from the Solicitors,
or from the following Brokers :—William Le Grand, Esq. Shorter's-
