11* RISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.
ilt` At a meeting of proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Rail-
wuy Company, held at the offices of Mr. Henry Brittan, No. 17,
Small-street, Bristol, on the 21st of October, 1845, convened for the
purpose of taking into consideration the provisional agreement en•
tered into between the Directors of the 'above Company and the
Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, for the sale to
the latter of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and adopting such reso-
lutions thereupon as might be deemed advisable,
Mr. WILLIAM CROSS in the Chair,
It was Resolved,-Ist. That this meeting, looking at the past half-
yearly reports, especially the last two, made by the Directors of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Company to the proprietors of that Com-
pany—at the present receipts--and the gradually increasing traffic
upon the Bristol and Exeter Railway, with the prospect of a still
much greater traffic from its various branches and the already
formed South Devon and projected North Devon and Cornwall lines,
and also at the value of the shares which the Bristol and Exeter
Company possesses in the former two lines—and at the same time
making every allowance for the disadvantage of a possible competing
line direct from London to Exeter (estimated by the Great Western
Company itself at 14 per cent.)—cannot but consider the provisional
agreement made by the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company, for the sale of their railway and effects to the Great
Western Railway Company, as a most improvident bargain, highly
detrimental to the interests of the shareholders in the former under-
taking, and involving an unjustifiable sacrifice of the property of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, to which the proprietors of
that company ought not to submit or assent ; and that measures be
forthwith adopted to ascertain the sense of the proprietors in general
upon the matter, and if they shall concur in opinion with this meet-
ing, to ensure their co-operation in preventing the confirmation of
that agreement.
2d. That for these purposes a Committee be formed, consisting of
the following gentlemen :
Mr. J. S. Tripp
Mr. C. F. Thomley
Mr. Thomas Lucas
With power to add to their number; and that Mr. Henry Brittan be
requested to act as the secretary and legal adviser of the Com-
mittee,

Mr. C. P. Dando
Mr. J. Prowse

3d. And that this meeting request the Committee to Convene
meetings of the proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Com-
pany as early as possible, at such places and in such manner as the
Committee shall think expedient ; and to take such other measures
as the Committee shall deem advisable for effectuating the purposes
before mentioned. WILLIAM CROSS, Chairman.
The Committee appointed for carrying out the above resolutions
will be happy to receive communications from any shareholder ;
and would earnestly impress upon the shareholders generally-, who
may be prevented from attending the general meeting convened to
confirm the provisional agreement on the 7th of November, imme-
diately to apply to the Committee for the form of proxy (which will
be forwarded duly stamped), to enable the Chairman of this Com-
mittee to vote iu their behalf at such meeting, it being necessary
that the proxy, in order to be effectual, should be lodged with the
Secretary of the Company, five days before the meeting.
The Committee would further urge upon each shareholder the ne-
cessity of his personal attendance at the meeting of the 7th of No-
vember, and that in the interim he should immediately forward to
the Secretary of this Committee a statement of each shareholder's
name and address, and the number of shares, wholes or thirds, of
which he is the proprietor.

PROSPECTUS.

This railway is intended to complete a direct communication be-
tween Leeds and Newcastle.
It will commence in junction with the Leeds and Thirsk Rail-
way at Wath, near Ripon, and following the route, as near as may
be, of the Old Leeming-lane coach road, will proceed to a point near
Masham, thence by way of Bedale, Catterick, Richmond, Middleton
Tyas, Barton, and Mantield, to Bishop Auckland, where it will join
the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway
The length of the projected line will be about forty miles, which
will render the distance between the important towns of Leeds and
Newcastle thirty miles shorter than by any existing, and fifteen miles
shorter than by any proposed, line of railway.
It will traverse districts abounding with coal, ironstone, lime, and
agricultural produce, hitherto shut out from the advantages of rail-
way communication with the markets of the populous and manufac-
turing districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire.
As this line will join the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway
near Bedale, the Lancashire and North Yorkshire Railway near to
Richmond, and the Leeds and Thirsk Railway at Wath, it will afford
the means of conveying coal, at moderate charges, to the extensive
agricultural districts through which these several railways are pro-
posed to pass.
The coke produced in the Auckland district already commands an
universal preference over that supplied from any other part of the
kingdom, and is accordingly in great request on all the principal
lines, and the proposed railway will afford the most direct and con-
venient outlet far it to the midland districts, where the demand will
be unlimited.
From the most careful and diligent inquiry it has been ascertained
that the coal and coke are alone sufficient to yield an ample return
for the capital employed in the construction of the line, independently
of the present, and continually increasing traffic, in passengers and
merchandize, which experience has hitherto found to result, wherever
the fitcillties of railway communication has been provided.
The attempts now making to constitute Leeds the great centre of
railway communication between the northern and southern parts of
the kingdom, for which its geographical position and commercial
importance offer so many facilities, must necessarily render the New-
castle and Leeds Direct Railway an important trunk line.
" ' _

------
The surveys are already made, and the line has been found to present
no engineering difficulties, and to be of easy and inexpensive con-
struction. All other preliminary steps have likewise been taken to
obtain the Act in the ensuing session of Parliament.
