"l.)N This line of railway wee opened
for painenger traffic on Thursday lest. It is leased
to the London and South-Western Company, and is
19 melee in length. The line leaves the Salisbury and
Reidinpetake Railway at • point about 3i miles from
tho firmer Place, near A fierhury. Passiug from
thence to Downton, Breainore, and Fordinbridge,
where station, are erected, it is carried though the
country on the west side of the Avon Valley, to
Verwood, where there is also • 'Cation, and joins the
Southampton and Dorchester I,ne at • spot called
West Moors, nearly midway between Ringwood
and Wimboree. By this line a saving of 3.i miles is
effected in the railway journey between Salisbury
and the Poole Junction and the towns of Wareltsm,
Dorchester, gad Poole. Four trains run each way
on week days, all let, 2nd, and 3rd class. This

London trorn all places west of Witoborne, by which
means • giving of seven miles is effected ; thus
making Salisbury the direct route to the metropolis
from any point westward of the junction of this line
with the Southampton and 9oreitester Railway. It
will alao afford to the large agricultural population
of the district through which it will pees an oppor-
tunity of attending Salisbury market, and of sending
their produce there for sale. We mar also mention
that by the constructioo of the Salisbury and Dorset
Junction Railway, the important port of Poole, with
great natural advantages, will no d oubt be much
much benefit both as regards erports aad imports.
It also gives an easy access to Mei nhasitante of Salis-
bury and it. neighbiurhood to Bournemouth,
Maileford, Weymouth, and other watering pleats,
which were formerly most difficult to approach. We
are informed that the line is in good working order,
