That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Man chester is now fully admitted, and the question is,—which is the best line to be adopted ? The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most direct route from London to Manchester, and will, therefore, complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expenditure of capital than by either of the projected London and Manchester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be con structed being only seventy - three,insteadof one-hundred and seventy to one-hundred and eighty miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap plied, in the present perfected state of the science of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earthworks. will prove in the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself, in the saying effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of more importance to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed, by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. Th e se considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macnd clesfield, but t b h y e irregularities deyiati of the face of the country, ng from the direct tract to pur sue valleys, a obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. Th e Parliamentary decision on the choice of th e London and B r i g hton Railway is a parallel case; the dir ec t li ne , a lth oug h pre senting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many com peting projects in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements hare been made by which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don, on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, South ampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Man chester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly sap ported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Rail way Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings, aro very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has 'made arrangements with the North Londoa Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres), in the centre of the city of Lon don, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the ut most importance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that sow occupy the public mied and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so small an out lay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent Investment fir capital. Tile shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of shares. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the sharehold ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is ob tained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. in- terest in all calls.
