This line of railway—forty miles in length—has at its termin-
Plymouth and Devonport, with a population of 130,000 inhad
bitants (exceeding that of Bristol) at the one end ; an.
at the other, the very important and populous city of Exeteri
It traverses a rich and populous district, and will be a
most valuable tributary to all the lines northward and
eastward of Exeter. The position and character of Plymouth Har-
bour, and the immense traffic thence to the interior of the country,
will render the construction of this line the most profitable invest-
ment by far in the West of England. The great local support it has
received attests the accuracy of the opinion we feel bound to express
upon this important undertaking.
