which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inns-

ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
lity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of wham the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—lt prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray ; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing pain i■ that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg, d by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de calvans (which causes the Hair to coin. off in patches) ; a few
applications removes dandriff. This wonderthl discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet containing testimonials to its regenerating
new Hairupon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the

The object of the proposed undertaking is to Unite the city of Exeter
with the towns of Yeovil and Bridport, as forming a part of the
great integral scheme for making the beet direct railway comunica-
tion from the metropolis, through Exeter to the important seaports and
harbours in the British Channel, as well as completing the chain
of south coast communication from the porta of Dover, Portsmouth,
and Southampton, to Exeter, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
Between Yeovil and Weetbury, the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth Railway will form the main line of communication, at which
latter place it will join a proposed extension of the Berko and Hants
Railway from Uungerford, carried through the Powsey Valley, as
shown more distinctly in the accompanying plan. • The Berks and
Hants, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weyrnotith Bills have already
passed, and those lines are under construction. The Great Western
Railway Company will apply fon the extension from Ilungerford to
Weetbury, only thirty-flee miles, In the approaching session.
The line of the Exeter Great Western Railway is intended to com-
mence At a distance of about three miles from Exeter,' by a junction
with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Stoke Canon, and proceed-
ing thence .by Ottery Saint Mary and Honiton, will pass into the
Talley of the Axe at Axminster. From that place, the main line, in
one direction, will continue along the same valley, passing within
about three miles of Chard (which town it is proposed to eanneet
with the main line by a short branch), and through Crewkerne, to-
wards Yeovil, near to which town it will join the Wilts, Somerset,
and Weymouth Railway. From Axminster, the main line, in the
other direction, will proceed near to Lyme Regis, and thence to
Eridport, where it will also join the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
Railway, leading towards Dorchester and the coast line to South-
ampton.
The fashionable watering-place of Sidmouth will be made accee-
sible to visitors from London and all parts of the country, bye branch
to that place from Ottery Saint Mary.
By reference to the map, it will be seen how effectually this line
will supply the only link wanting to complete the continuity of the
South Coast Lines, and will afford the beet means for en entire
*rough traffic from Cornwall and Devon to the different ports of
Bridport, Weymouth, Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth,
rratam, Brighton, Hastings, Dover and Ramsgate.
It Is also a very important feature in the undertaking, which is
acne submitted to the public, that it gives railway communication to
a line of country hitherto unsupplied with this essential means of in-
tercourse with the surrounding districts ; many towns of importance
will have the benefit of local intercommunication, besides being
plaited on a main and direct lino of transit between the metropolis
and the most valuable seaports on the southern coast of England.
The inhabitants of the city of Exeter, and of all places beyond it,
will be brought to a reduced distance of 177 miles between Exeter
and London, instead of 194 miles, the whole being worked uninter-
ruptedly by one Company, on the same gauge, and en a line superior
to any that can be carried for the same object, in any other direc-
tion, whether considered with reference to the shorter new line re-
quired to be constructed, or to the comparatively easy gradients that
can be obtained at a reasonable cost.

Under these circumstances there can be no doubt that this railway
will not only confer incalculable benefits on the districts through
which it is intended to pass, and generally oa the mineral and agri-
cultural produce of Devon and Cornwall, but will conchae° to the vast
national object of rendering the harbours of Plymouth and Falmouth
most serviceable for every purpose of commerce, more easily acces-
sible for the arrival and dispatch of foreign mails and passengers,
avoiding the delays and dangers of Channel navigation, and in case
of war, contributing to the security of British preperty, whether at
sea or on shore. . _

A mere glance at the map will satisfy every inquirer ef the com-
mand this line must possess over an unusally large amount of export
and import trade, whether in passengers or in goods, independently
of the local resources of the country itself, which are known to be
very great.
One itn portent atom of local traffic on this lime will be tke artiele of
coil, with which the district is at present but imperfectly provided
en account of the kigh price necessarily paid for land carriage, limit-
ing very much the consumption by a large class of the population,
who must be greatly benefited by reduced cost of transit by railway.
The di strict from which coal may be brought is in the neighbourhood
of Rad.steck, in Somerietshire, to which place a branch of the Wilts,
Somet net, and Weymouth Railway extends, and brings the coals
direct from the pit's mouth on to the line of railway.
The interests of the landed proprietors have been consulted through-
out the line, aid it is confidently believed, from the strong local sup-
port it has received, that the legislature will sanction this measure
without hesitation.
It is agreed that the line shall be worked by the Great Western
Railway Company, under a lease, as in the case of the Wilts, Somer-
set, and Weymouth Railway ; in consideration of which, the Groat
Western Railway Company have undertaken to guarantee to the
proprietors four per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital, with
an increa.le of one-half per cent., in proportion to any dividend of one
per cent.. upon their own stock, exceeding eight per cent., which in-
crease shall be payable to the proprietors of the Exeter Great
We'tcern Railway Company, in addition to the guaranteed rate ; and
Ur., Great Western Railway Company are to become responsible for
ail the preliminary expenses, in case the Act shall not be obtained
within the two next sessions of Parliament.
The capital will be raised in 26,000 shares of 501. each, upon which
a deposit of 51. per share will be paid upon subscriptions, and no
further call will be made previously to obtaining the Act' of Incor-
poration.
Interest at four per cent. per annum will be allowed, after the Act
shall have passed, on the deposit, and on all paid-up calls during the
construction of the line, and until the dividends are provided for,
under the guarantee of the Great Wester' Railway Company.
The notices are already given, and the plans and books of re-
ference will be deposited in time for the Act to be applied for at the
