THE EXETER, DORCHESTER, AND
WEYMOUTH JUNCTION COAST RAILWAY,

AND THE BRIDPORT AND EXETER RAIL:

WAY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE DORSET COUNTY CHRONICLE, AND

SOMERSETSIIIRE GAZETTE.

Sir,—ln troubling you with a few remarks on these two
projected lines of railway, I think I ought to state that lam
a large shareholder in the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey-
mouth, and that I am a considerable landowner in Dor-
set sh ire.

In Trewnian's Exeter Flying Post, of Thursday last, is
contained a statement that the Bridport and Exeter line " is
intended to complete the only link required in the Feat line
of railway on the southern coast." If such is the intention
of the promoters of that scheme, it is quite clear that it can
never be realised, because the present termini of the Brid-
port and Exeter line is at those two places only, leaving a
country of twenty-two miles on the coast between Bridport
and Weymouth, and sixteen between Bridport and Dorches-
ter (the terminus of the Southampton coast line), and surely
this is a link which will require to be filled up, and a most
important one.
That the public may not be misled, I think it my duty,
Sir, throagh the columns of your widely-circulated paper, to
state that the termini of the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey-
mouth Railway will be at Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey-
mouth; and at the two latter very important towns, it will
join the coast line from Southampton, and therefore this line '
will, in fact, " complete the only link required on the
southern coast."

It is not reasonable to expect that th e promoters of any scheme
( whether a complete or a very incomplete one) will misrepre-
sent it, but to call a line of railway commencing at Bridport,
and terminating at Exeter, a coast line, or to say it is in-
tended to complete the line on the southern coast, whilst
leaving a distance of twenty miles and more between Brid-
port and Weymouth and Dorchester, is advancing what
very few persons will believe, although repeated in the
Exeter Flying Post, or any other flying post, every day in
the year. Facts are stubborn things, Sir, especially when
connected with projected railways.
I became a shareholder, Sir, in the Exeter, Dorchester, and
Weymouth Railway for several reasons :—First, because that
line will, in fact, complete the line of railways on the southern
coast by a junction with the Southampton line at Dorchester
and Weymouth ; secondly, because in its route it will in-
clude the two important towns of Dorchester and Weymouth,
as well as Bridport, Charmouth, Lyme Colyton, Axmouth,
Sidmouth, Exmouth, and all other places on the coast to
Exeter; and thirdly, because I am strongly of opinion that
neither Government nor any Parliamentary Committee will be
induced to adopt or countenance a line springing up about
midway, and traversing part only of an integral line, to gratify
the inhabitants of a particular locality with whom it may
have originated, and whether I am right in this belief re-
mains to be seen as to the towns of lloniton and Axminster,
where the Bridport and Exeter proposes to run by two branch
lines. These places are far away from the coast, and will
shortly be reached by a direct line through those parts of
Dorset and Devon.
If you will find a corner for these remarks in your valuable
columns, your will greatly oblige, Sir,
A DORSETSIIIRE LANDOWNER.
_ _

_
London, Octobcr 20, 1845.
P.S. I am just informed that the promoters of the Bridport
and Exeter contemplate a landslip at Bridport, whereby that
town may some morning be discovered very near Weymouth.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, with a dull market, but without any alteration in
prices ; 200 bales Surat went at 3d. to 41Ad., and 200 Per.
nam at 61/2d. to 7d. per lb. Shares continued depressed. but
there was an improvement in a few lines. Grand Junction
rose 201.

The accounts received this morning from the principal
country markets for railway shares, are of a more satisfactory
nature than was fairly to be anticipated, after the strong
efforts of the Times to create alarm in the minds of the public
generally on the subject of new railways. That the Times
has lost a considerable degree of its hitherto really powerful
influence, is a matter of no doubt among the mercantile,
and the banking interests for unnecessarily, as it is
freely thought, stigmatising both classes with affording
undue assistance to the transactions in shares. We are not,
nor never were, the advocates of what are termed the "bubble
schemes" of the day. The Times puts all projects, good or
bad, into one boat, and would, under the insidious plea of
warning the public against further dealings in scrip, swamp
the whole. As we have on a previous occasion noticed
the deposits are paid upon all, or very nearly so, of
the new projects that will be ready to be brought
before Parliament in the next session of Parliament.
To keep up the cry of an anticipated panic is mere childish-
ness, and the result of wounded vanity.
That there is a hitch in the Cabinet seems pretty certain,
and such is the report of yesterday and to-day in City cir-
cles, not unfrequently in possession of early informa-
tion upon matters which relate to the affairs f
State. It is said the Duke wants to put Lord Ellen.
borough into some office or other, but Sir Robert Peel
does not wish to have him at any price. The Duke is
is not so averse as many people think to go with the Premili•
in a further alteration of the corn-laws now. This is the
general statement in Mark-lane at least, where it is earnestly
desired that, Van Order in Council is to be issued for the free
importation of foreign bread-stuffs to make up for the deti•
cient crop, it may be done as soon as possible; as, while
doubts exist upon the matter, the operations in the corn
trade must be checked.
There has been a good supply of money stock to-day
Consols have just fallen from 971/4 to 97, for the Account
from 97% to 97%, Exchequer-bills to 40s. premium, the
New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. from 98% to 98k, and

Not much business was done in the Foreign Stocks to-day.
The only quotations were in the Portuguese Four per Cents.

Deferred at 12, in the Dutch Two.and-a-Half per Cents. at

The public sale of Railway Shares is in progress at the
Hall of Commerce, and the attendance is pretty
full. The biddings are not by any means brisk,
but it is evident that parties ire 41149% to

come in at lower rates for all bcm4 file
projects. The auctioneer confirmed our accounts
of the state ofthe -country markets.{-The demand for the
greater pieportion of the Railway Scrips has'rallied a frac-
tion. Grand Junctions at. Liverpcol rose 201. a share yes-
tentay. Here there have been none offered. The official list
will supply prices.

The General Steam Navigation Company's steam-

importation from France—in addition to an extensive cargo
of the usual varieties of produce and manufacture generally
brought from that country. A sailing vessel, the Navarino
from Guernsey and Jersey, brought two hundred and sixty
packages of pears, the produce of that island, being, wr
believe, the first importation of them from that quarter this
season. The General Steam Company's vessel, James Watt,
frome.Havri , has brought little or no fruit this voyage, and it
is generally expected that the importation of continental fruit
has almost, if not entirely, ceased for the season, with the •
exception of the later produce of -apples. The arrivals of ths
various kinds of dried fruits imported at this season, includ- •
ing raisins, figs, plums, prunes, &c., are at the present time •
