A SINGULAR AND IMPORTANT TRADE, has very
reccntl; , in Southann T-- • of

..,ntly sprung up —...arnampton. Two companies s
merchants rent large tracts of the mud land at the bottom
of that town, for the purpose of feeding and preserving
oysters for the London market. A telegraphic message is
now despatched from London to Southampton, and any
quantity of oysters can, in four or five hours afterwards, be
received in the former from the latter place by rail. A
large quantity of oysters are opened in Southampton and
sent to London without the shells, and thus a large amount
of carriage freight is saved. The oysters that are thus sent
are for pickling and sauces. They are sent in cans securely
covered, and in their own juice, and keep well during
the few hours they are on the rail. The quantity of oysters
now lying in the Southampton lx.,cls, is worth about 2,0001.,
and this quant''•' will be enormously increased

shortly. A slip is about to be built on purpose to land and
' open them. The trade will be in operation all the year
round, and very shortly between 30 and 10 vessels will by
employed in it. A large number of persons arc employed in
parking, landing, and opening the oysters. The railway
waggons which take them to London are brought down by
a tramway close to where they arc landed. These oysters
are caught near the Channel islands, and as soon as a ship-
load is caught, they are sent to Southampton. They are
there thrown on the oyster grounds, and at low water they
