THE Committee of Management have the pleasure to inform
the Shareholders that the Sections of the Line have been
received, accomvanied by a most satisfactory report from the
Engineers and Surveyors employed by the Company, who, ad-
hering to the original instructions of the Committee, " that the
levels should be such as to allow of the most useful and econo-
mical working of the Railway, and that the line should be so
laid down as to confer the greatest possible degree of public ad-
vantage, by approaching as many populous Towns and Districts
as the nature of the Country would admit," have conveyed to
the Committee the gratifying assurance that the line to the Port
of Falmouth is in every respect practicable, and can be con-
structed at the average cost of similar works. The Committee
have not deemed it sufficient "to combine practicability with
economy and utility;" they have sought to attain a higher
principle, and they confidently rely on accomplishing the ob-
ject—a construction of a work that shall merit the sanction of
the Legislature, as fraught not only with private and local ad-
vantages, but as conferring and securing a great National bene-
fit; the Committee anxiously and zealously seeking to give ef-
fect to the wishes of the Shareholders, and in compliance with
the suggestion of several Noblemen and Gentlemen connected
with the Districts affected by the proposed Line of Railway,
have negociated with a competing Company for a portion of the
Line for a consolidation of the interests of the two Companies,
to avert an improvident and uncalled-for expenditure of the
funds of the Subscribers to both in a useless Parliamentary con-
test, and to secure to the Public the advantage of a Railway
communication through the South Western and West District
of the Kingdom to the Port of Falmouth.
The Committee have published the report of the Deputation
appointed to conduct the negotiation for the information of the
Shareholders*—they leave the correspondence open for the
consideration and judgment of the Shareholders and the Pub-
lic ; and fully prepared to establish the priority, originality,
and superior National utility of their Line, they respectfully
call upon the Public to support that Company which shall ap-
pear most deserving of estimation, and they calmly and confi-
dently await the decision of the Legislaturein the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament.
