THE TIMBER CARRYING COMPANY.
ACOMPANY was proposed a short time since for the bene-
fit of the Consumers of Timber, which is now made com-
plete ; and the same reasons which induced the parties to bring
that Company forward, exist to a greater extent in the Mode of
Transit, hence arises the necessity of the present Company.
The great extent of this Trade must be evident, and those en-
gaged in it are put to considerable inconvenience for want of
sufficient means for the conveyance of Timber to places where
sold; consequently, much delay and extra expense are caused
either to the Parties Selling or Buying, or great loss to ,the
Team Keeper, from detention at the Wharfs where the Titiiber
is to be Shipped.
The inconveniences are so much felt, that notwithstanding
the frenzied height to which Public Companies 'lave arrived,
yet depending on the intrinsic merits- of this 'undertaking,—
from its great necessity,—it is brought forwax with a confidence
that the Public will see its utility; and at nce give their sup-
port for the benefit of such a large and i portant branch of the
Commerce of this Port as the Timber '4 •ade.
As a prospect of recompense for th' investment necessary, it
is sufficient to know, that the Trade ill be great Subscribers to
a concern so needful to them ;,ther. ore, this Company may de-
pend on being fully employed, c,; -equentlY, that beneficial re-
sults must accrue is certain and . ident.

IIfIHIS Railway will branch front "The London, Salisbury
Exeter,.*Plymouth, and Falmouth Railway," at Salisbury,
and will proceed from thence by Romsey and Redbridge to the
Quay at Southampton, and, by a connecting Tramway, across
the Quay, will join the Terminus of the London and Southamp-
ton Railway and the Southampton Docks.
When it is considered that Southampton must become the
great port of embarkation for all parties from the North, West.
and South of England, for Geernsey and Jersey, France, and
the whole Continent, and that, in addition to its present exten-
sive trade, it will ere long become " the Liverpool of the South,"
supplying from its port the extent of country at present supplied
from the ports of London and Bristol, it cannot be surprising
that this Railway should have been hailed, on its first announce-
ment, as one of immense importance, not only to Southamdton,
hut, by connecting itself with the contemplated Railway -from
Portsmouth to that place, establishing a line of Railway which
will bring together the Mining, Agricultural, and Manufactur-
ing Districts of Cornwall, Devon. Somerset, and Wilts—the
Ports of Plymouth and Falmouth, Brighton, Arundell, Chi-
chester, Fareham,. Gosport, Portsea, Portsmouth, and the
Eastern District of the Kingdom. The present traffic between
Salisbury, Ronisey, and Southampton would, of itself; justify
the expectation of an ample return for the capital to be em-
barked in the construction of this Railway; the distance is only
twenty-two miles; the country is level, and requires no tun-
nelling or deep cutting; a great portion of the land 9n the line
(now valueless) was levelled for the intended Southampton and
.Salisbury Canal, and is well adapted for the Railway; but the
great profit beyond an ample interest on the Capital must arise
from the Junction which, by means .of this Railway, will be
made with the important Districts referred to, and on vi,tving
Southampton as the great Port of embarkation for, and as the
receiving Port for the Produce of France and the Channel
Islands.

The Railway which is about to be constructed from Paris, by
Rouen, to Havre, with the extensive Steam Packet Establish-
ments at Southampton, will at once connect the Capital of
France with that Port.
The portion of Mud Land which will be recovered by means
of this Railway, between Millbrook and Southampton, will be
converted into a Promenade and Walks, thus increasing the
attractions of Southampton as a Watering-place, and converting
a nuisance into one of the most 'attractive features of the town,
and rendering it a source of profit to the Company.

THE following Resolutions, adopted at a General Meeting,
held at the City'of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on
the 29th day of March last, in support of this Undertaking, will
fully demonstrate its object :
The Right Hon. DOMINICK BROWNE, M.P., (now Lord
Oraninore) Lord Lieutenant of the County of Mayo, in the
Chair.
Resared,—That the formation of a Railway across the centre
of Ireland, from Dublin to the Atlantic, presents a most advan-
tageous opportunity for the investment of capital, affording
increasing facility for traffic, both foreign and domestic, for
bringing agricultural produce to market, and for drawing forth
the vast resources of the Western Counties of Ireland to the
benefit of that country and the empire at large.
Resolved,—That Galway, from its maritime position, the ex
tent of its harbour, its highly favourable capabilities for
tamanu-
factures and fisheries, its population, and extensive internal
water communication, affords the strongest inducements, both
as h
as regards public utility and remunerative investment of capitoi t
al
for selecting it as the most eligible terminus of the Railway on
the West Coast of Ireland.

the proposed Railway, the extraordrionsaertylevel which the coun-
try between Dublin and Galway pits being a distance of
118 British miles, at its highest elevation only 26S feet above
the level of the sea, (an average rise of one foot in 800,) without
any tunnelling, and with few cuttings and embankments, and
possessing an abundance of Lime-stone throughout its extent,
and Granite at each extremity, offers facilities for the comple-
tion of the work equal, if not superior, to those of any other part
of the British Empire.
the circumstances set forth in the
consideration, as also the cheapness
of labour and land in i'lilnfel ad, the proposed Railroad may be
constructed at a lower rate than any other hitherto proposed in
the United Kingdom, and at an expense which, at the utmost,
it is estimated will not exceed £lO,OOO per mile.
Rego/red,—That from the solidity of the substratum, the
abundance of excellent material along the entire Line, and the
lowness of wages in Ireland," the expense of maintaining the
Road will be exceedingly moderate.
Resolved,—That, from the number of passengers who, from
the direction of this line bisecting Ireland, will- be induced to
take advantage of the facilities for travelling which it will afford
to the greater part of Central and Western Ireland, particularly
along that. portion front Dublin to Athlone, and from the con-
veyance of merchandise, a.ricultural produce, and fish, there
is the very strongest assurance that this undertaking will prove
highly remunerative for the Capital required.
This great national Undertaking is supported by the prineipal
Nobility, Gentry, and Mercantile Persons along the proposed
Line of Road, who have in many instances expressed their de-
terminationi not only to give gratuitously sufficient land for toiee.
