procally with the counties through which the railway is intended to
pass, the revenue upon the capital will yield at least 10 per cent.
As the project developes itself, the most cheering patronage is
manifest from influential landowners and other proprietori declaring
that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands ;
and who have promised to give this project their undivided support.
Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send
troops with all their materiel by railways, and the fecilitiee which
can be thus afforded will form a communicating medium with ever;
military depot throughout Great Britain.
Suffice it to state that coal, wool, timber, corn, bark, lime, any:
every variety of product or manufacture mast inevitably Dad their
transit by this railway, to meet the demands or exigencies of se-
veral counties hitherto subjected to the impost of incalculable ex-
pense and delay attendant on goods at present being compelled to
pass through London.

el ent to Justify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes-
tern : that It will shorten the distance from London to Tiverton
about 32 miles that it will traverse rich and populous agricultural
and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as
well froth railways now In cOurge of Cotlatrtietion as from ethers pro-
jected, with every chance of success.

As to the trade on the lower portion of the line, it is evident fluff
the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the
Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in
insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at
once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway;
and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports
on either side of the great promontory of the Laud's End may, by
means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol
and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth
of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire
may bo further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and
Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract alarger propor•
tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a
traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the
amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the
map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be
established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between
Taunton and Reading, an Inspection of the map will show a vast ex-
tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So-
mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of
railroad accommodation.

Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom; it may not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which born much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exoter
Railways, he is reported to have said : —"I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not
a quest ion of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for iu the
report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
cot hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the lino lies boon to a great extent completed, and
correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for-
wan-Mesa, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
Battle*.

•
It is suflicleut, as to these points, here to state that there are ne
engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have Rot been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that
this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways ii the
kingdom.

Powers will be taken In the Act of Parliament to allow Interest at
four pounds per centum per annum on the deposits, and preference
in the allotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land
through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the
Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected
with the Direct Western district.

This line of railway has"met with general approbation, and its im-
portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it will, a locality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may
be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a
densely-popu'ated neighbourhood, the property around which is open,
flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a
line of railway.

In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisiteffor the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot,
Sinning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter and the whole of the
south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hun-
gerford-bridge on the south side of the river by the Richmond Rail-
way, by means of a branch (rem Hounslow to Richmond.

The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys aro
made, the deposits have been duly paid, the parliamentary contract
