The object of the promoters of this Company is to form a direct
line of railway, from Bristol and Bath to Dover; and thus, in effect,
unite, connect, or reciprocate with, all the existing and projeCted
lines of railway in the south and south.west and west of England, as
well also as form a complete communication with Ireland an 4 all'
the western and Welsh railways, and most of those in the nork4ersi ,
and great manufacturing districts, by which passengers and ip)ods
to and from Folkestone and Dover, France and Belgium, snay
be conveyed without the necessity of passing through the rue-
tropolis.
Branches will be constructed, if hereafter considered requisite but
the main line to be laid down by the Company will be considerably
less than 100 miles, throughout which the strongest encouragemer t
and support hr.ve been manifested towards this railway by the leaded
proprietors, many of whom have determined to invest capital id the;
1
undertaking ; and the engineer's report precludes any apple len-
sion of engineering difficulties : the publication, however, of th ex.
actness cf the route is necessarily delayed for a few days, in Con-,•_.
sequence of some important negotiations now pending with ano-
ther Company. The great public utility and commercial advain,
Cages of railway communication between the important placesNul
ports which it is now contemplated to unite must be at once ap-
preciated by reference to a map of the country. ; , •
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest, at four per cent. per annum, on the amount of ditessit-
and calls from the passing of the Act until the completion or, the
line, and the liabity of the shareholders will be limited to the aunt:Met-
