every line o; railway which it affects, either immediately or re-
motely. It has been submitted to the Council of the borough of
Southampton, by whom resolutions in its favour have been unani-

town, and of the manufacturing and commercial classes of the North,
and Hio Promoters arc not aware of any grounds, either public or
private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be withheld

The London and Westminster Bank,

The purpose of this undertaking is to provide for Manchester and
the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north of
England a direct access to Southampton, now the mail port to the
Channel Islands, the West.lndies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole
of Asia Minor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the
numerous other ports and Islands of the Medlteranean ; to Persia,
the East Indies, and China, to which vast and increasing markets the
port of Southampton is becoming an important outlet for British
manufactures.
The pastel communication is now effected by the circuitous route
of London, and is necessarily subject to delay there, whereas on the
completion of this railway, Southampton must necessarily become a
far better point than London for the distributing of foreign letters.
The merchandise shipped for foreign stations from Southampton is,
in like manner, subject to delay; and to the inconvenience and added
cost of cartage through the Metropolis, and transference from one
railway to another.
• These evils are sensibly felt, as well at Southampton as by the
general commercial interests of the north. The Collector of her
Majesty's Customs at the port of Southampton stated, before recent
Parliamentary Committees, that the exports from Southampton, of
which in 1832 the declared value was only 62,1631., will this year
exceed three millions sterling—that upwards of 40,000 persons em-
bark and disembark to foreign ports there annually, and that 671
voyages were made by steam 'packets from the port last year—that
the trade consists generally of exports of manufactures from the nor-
thern districts—Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhamp-
ton, Dudley, &c.—that there is also a considerable import trade of
fruits, and of raw materials for manufactures, such as raw silk and
dye stuffs, which are sent to the north. If a direct line were formed
(the Collector stated), he had no doubt the exports would rise in one
year to ten millions sterling ; and he added that the advantages of
transmission, by a direct line, of the mails to and from Southampton
and the North, which now go round by London, would be very
great, especially in the case of Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, &c.
Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway com-
pleting the line of dttect communication is calculated extensively to
promote great commercial and public interests, it will also benefit
and assist essentially !the local requirements of the districts tra-
versed. The -line is intended to commence at a point in convenient
connexion with the Public Quays .and the Docks at Southampton,
and to proceed by. Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud-
gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel-
tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucestet Railway ;
thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derbi-, Sheffield,
Leeds, and York, the Iron Districts and the Potteries of Staffordshire,
Manchester, and the • manufacturing districts, Liverpool and the
West of Scotland, and. by existing. and projected routes, Chester,
Birkenhead, Holyhead, and Ireland—bringing into connexion the
Irish Sea and the English Channel.
One of the most gratifying features in this undertaking is the truly
national purpose it will serve in the more immediate and rapid com-
munication with the great commercial town and port of Havre—the
Liverpool of France. Those only who have had the opportunity of
watching the rapid progress, within the last few years, of that vast
mart and outlet— the increased facilities and great commercial advan-
tages there continuously developed—can form any adequate idea of the
advantages which Lancashire and the surrounding districts must de-
rive from this ready and direct access to it through Southampton.
Returning to advantages of a more immediate character it may be
mentioned that to those localities to which seaborne coal is now im-
ported at a very heavy cost, Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal
may be conveyed by railway at a considerably reduced price.
The iron of Staffordshire, and the wares of Birmingham and the
Potteries, will have the benefit of a new port, and a new market will
be opened for the salt of the Droitwich mines—objects, the necessity
of which has this year been strongly pressed upon Parliament.
-Stone, lime, tiles, slates, grain, wool, cattle—and all the requirements
and production of a rich and fertile agricultural district will also pass
along the line.
There can be no doubt that whilst the intercourse between
the rich counties of Hants, Dorset, Wilts, and Gloucester, on
the one hand, and Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire,
Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the West of
Scotland on the other, Is already abundant, the communication
from North to South, as well for the purposes of commerce as
of pleasure, must be greatly promoted by the formation of a Railway,
especially in connexion with the coast lines of Railway running East
and West from Southampton,—on the one hand, through Dorset-
shire, and on the other by Portsmouth to Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover. A further advantage to the enterprise and commerce of the
country will be found in the favourable character' of the port of
Southampton and the low rates on shipping and cargoes—those on
the shipping amounting in no instance to more than threepence per
ton register, and five shillings per vessel boomage, and on the car-
goes to three shillings and fourpence per ton export charge at the
decks, and, if shipped at the public quays, to a similar moderate de-
mand. No charge at either place of shipment will be incurred for
cartage or lighterage, and the trains stopping in immediate proximity
to the docks, quays, and wharfs, can have their various burdens run
by train-roads directly alongside the vessels.
The attractions of the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands
(Guernsey, Jersey, &c.), rendered accessible as they will be by the
construction of railways, will also increase the stream of tourists
from Lancashire and all parts with which this railway opens up a
communication.
The distances saved by the proposed railway, which will be about
eighty-three miles long, may be roughly stated thus : Miles.

It is proposed, also, to lay down the electric telegraph between
Manchester and. Southampton, an object of paramount utility to the
commercial classes in connexion wills the arrival and departure of
the mails.
The intended line has been inspected by qualified parties. For a
considerable distance it is of an easy character, and throughout it
presents no striking or costly engineering features. No residential
case occurs, and the promoters are already assured that the undertak-

NIANCHESTERRAAND,: SOUTHAMPTON
Wednesday, the 30th day of July, 1845.

A Meeting of the Council of the Borough of Southampton was this
day held at the Audit House, or Council Chamber, in the said
Borough.
The Plan of the intended Railway between Manchester anti South-
ampton having been submitted to this Council,—
It was resolved unanimously—
That a Direct Line of Railway Communication between Southamp-
ton and Manchester, such as is proposed by "the Manchester and
Southampton Railway Company," is calculated essentially to promote
the interests of the town and port of Southampton, the neighbouring
towns and districts, the rich agricultural counties through which it
will pass, and afford to the great manufacturing districts the most
dircet communication with the English Channel, the Mediterranean,
and all pints of the East and West Indies.
That this Council will, therefore, to the utmost of its power, sup-
port the general features of this undertaking, and that a Committee
be appointed to take such measures as may be most calculated to
promote the object and secure the particular interest of Southamp-
ton connected therewith.
That the Committee consist of—

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and_west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
tinhe°PnPo°Bticibegof
the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the stronge to
other
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
ejilit illY arthe present g been projected in time refer to their original prospec line not Navin

impression made, notwithstanding, is its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejectiouof the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms-
ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament,
the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted
to the Board of Trade.. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich ,Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a snoderate . ,
,
, cost • (while) " there is a strong local
feeling in its fay, ur, eVineed by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of 'Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury..
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge glees, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandell) previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that " the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."
To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and
Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the Satisfaction of
aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the
Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and
good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line.
In allotting their original Shares, the Proonsional Committee ne-
cessarilyn ) Realities, 'which it may be
rejected numerous 1 p pre-
sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re-
spectableborn Shares could then begiven; and
as any of those to w
in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference
will be given to original applicants,
as well as to original Share-
holders.
Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, M oorgate-street, Lon-
don ; to the Solicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol-
lowing brokers :—Messrs. Sheppard and Son, Threadneedle-street,

WHAT are to be the TENDENCIES of the
BRITISH NATION ?—To SANITY ? or to INSANITY?
—A Question by LUKE JAMES HANSARD.
July, 1845.
Printed and published by Luke James Hansard, 6, Great Turnstile,
Lincoln's Inn-fields, and may be had of all Booksellers.

This question arises out of the Lunatic Billsnow before Parliament.
This question has reference to a notion of the insufficiency of the Lu-
nacy Commissioners as in mind to understand the depths and breadth
and height of the nature of Sanity and Insanity, to which they have
assumed a self-sufficient competency, and as in heart to attend to
those revelations or entreaties which should have enlarged their
usefulness, and widened the scope of their intelligence and reflective
feelings. This question carries witb it the thought of the wisdom of
the Government of the country, as to how far, and whether its mea-
sures, its conduct, and its habit of rule are the means of causing ten-
dencies in the community of the British nation and within itself, as
the persons of the Government, either to Sanity or to Insanity.
Whilst the excitement of any human creature is held liable to be
treated as a disease, and to be called "Lunacy," "Insanity," or
"Madness," depending upon the maliciousness, perversity, or colli-
sions of temper, or upon the good, easy assent of thoughtless friends, it
is important that we have clear and definite ideas of the nature of the
excitements so treated as a disease, in order that we may, by tracing
the cause, do more good to mankind by the preventative tendencies
of forecast provisions in inculcating self-controlling powers of intelli-
gence and habit, than by making a perpetuity of disease under the
paid system, which fosters, feeds, and fattens upon the professions of
a doctoring cure, which must (although by an opposite course of
irritation, denying all hope, .instead of by hope promising to give),
like the fabled fever-exciting thirst of Tantalus, irritate more and
more, but only eventually to destroy.
Whether shall we fix Insanity upon the British nation as a stain,
and a "disease Incurable," in order to provide a means of existence
for mad doctors and other paid agents wanting employment—or by
those quiescent ways of truth, equity and justice, which are or ought
to be ministered to with brotherly kindness, remove (by way of pre-
venting) this plague-spot on the peace and happiness of the com-
munity of our land?
