This railway will commence at or near Didcot on the Great Western
Railway, and passing through Newbury to Andover, will there unite
with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway, and the
London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Railway.
It is promoted under the belief, that whilst the Manchester and
Southampton line must command the traffic of the great manufactu-
ring districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot-
teries, the iron districts, and the larger portion of the midland and
western counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the
country and of Oxford requires another communication, and that a
line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun-
tenance of that influential body, as well as of the London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil.Company (to the traffic of which Company this under-
taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater
facilities to the pitblic than any scheme dependent in its working on
other interest.

The line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an
almost direct communication. from Rugby, Oxford, anti the eastern
counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the western counties ; also to Fareham, Gosport, and
Port:mouth, and the whole eastern coast.
. .

In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now
proposed confers on the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Ilsley.
Its length will be about 30 miles.
Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the
success of the main design, that, namely, of having the line worked
by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton
Railway Company, and, on the other, to meet the requirements of
the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Wes-
tern Company.

Completing, as this railway will do, the connexion from the north
and east of England to Southampton and the southern coast; ob-
taining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the
great network of railways centering at Oxford; and giving an outlet
at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom, to
the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and Portn •
gal ; also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France—it is
obvious that the return upon the coat construction (which will be
moderate) must be highly remunerative.
The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of the
Manchester and Southampton Company, and the promoters feel justi-
fied in stating that every facility will be afforded by that company in
bringing its merits fully before thd Legislature.

The great difficulty, delay, end expense attending the transit of
passengers and gcods from Kingston to Montego Bay and the inter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all persons
conversant with the islan 1 of Jamaica.
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King-
ston, occupies forty-four hours ; 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 an 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 advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King-
ston, 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 be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the
largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or
near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King-
ston 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, Anotto 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
I etween the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most prodictive portion of the
island.

Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains which rim east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern 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 ar-
t:cies of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by
the increased facility for traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton,
indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present unimported, 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 vibe, 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 agricultural and household purposes, aad cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the country 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, &e., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will fan a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material*
necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion he adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated 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 he 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 sttfficient to state, that Coals,
Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops,
Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flour, Tobacco, Hardwares, and
Manufactures generally, form important sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
quired, and the speedy communication established between the
island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, will enable the Directors in this country to exercise an
efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act fbr the
payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the
shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.
Applications for shares in the usual form may be made to the

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course,
the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the
Metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer-
sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con-
viction that this important undertaking, after several minute exa-
minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought
forward.

The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manche -
ter and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wake-
field, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern
Counties Railway at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of
that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parlia-
ment), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing
railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk
line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route
within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster,
Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton
Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford.
The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of
its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within
its limits) as also from the absence of any direct communication for
the conveyance of passengers and merchandise.
By the construction of this railway, railway communication to
London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of
the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo-
rough (by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter
route than by any existing Railways.
Independently of the advantages offered to the towns in the several
counties through which this Line will pass, the Line in itself consi-
dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic
between these two places would produce such a return on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of ally railway in
operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being
formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of
a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be
presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica-
tion from Glasgow and the Western parts of Scotland to London, but
would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as
well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and
Great North of England Railways), with the Metropolis, which would
be considerably shorter titan the accommodation offered by any
other Company, and when cost of construction is considered, there
cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great
Leeds and London Direct Railway.

The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most important fea-
ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London
11,e,1
Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the mah:ettfiring 'di._
through which all goods from the whole of the manuf.
for shipment,
tricts could be conveyed at once to these warehousesof cartage, and in
thereby avoiding the present delay and ex
reality establishing an almost direct andPaTienvaluable connexion
between the rivers Clyde and Thames.

The Subscribers will be held liable
deposits until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per
cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to
extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, In the event
of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

.;~+~ir±:y,

This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city
Of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near Colyton,
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor-
chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and the
other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.
At Exeter, junctions will be formedwith the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by
means of their steam ferry, thus making the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it pill
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc-
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester
eastward, and by following the coast as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication from Dover to the- Land's End, an undertaking in itself
of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of tho Government.
In fixing the course which this Railway will tile, it has been the
careful consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as
will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and
important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated
on and near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodate; whilst, at the same time, the Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part o
the Kingdom have been equally studied.
This Line will also open such additional means of communication
to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har-
bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even-
tually replace them in that high position, when compared with' the
other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water-
ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salter ton, Sidmouth, Charmouth,
Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part
of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac-
cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position
with other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In-
land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre-
eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold.
The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way," made on the 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter-
tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway In the di-
rection proposed by the present Company In making their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, In deciding on the Bill referred to them, kad arisen
from the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great
Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated,
from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the
line, is about to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and
Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners, for which purpose a grant was made during the last
session of Parliament for commencing the works. The at'alitional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will
be very considerable.
A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar
engineering difficulties. The length of the main line, from Exeter to
Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; and of the Forks, or exten-
sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in
the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway.

At several large public meetings held In October last, at Brentford,
Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published ; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This Impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc-
tion with the Central Terminus awl the Thamos Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways,
watch will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.

By the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Itailway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the Intersection of the Birmingham
Mailway at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.
The propOSed line, whi h passes through or near the extensive and
populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isle worth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great
majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested,
TWA line is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and,
although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with build-
ings, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaees, the
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop-
ticinof the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
wili working,neotihae annoyances,
inseparable from the locomotive system
obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in-
dispensable to this densely-populated district, will be secured.
'I he population of the various ns
to be erected on the e,places at which stations are proposed
line is not less than 200,000, and to give
some idea of the large amount
of traffic which may be calculated
upon, it may be stated that the present annual Income derived from
y
the carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,000 f. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of
a very ample return for the capital required for this important work.
