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 Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole
of Asia.Mieor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the
numerous other ports and Islands of the Mediteranean ; 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 p %stet 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 %rule*); 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, Re.
Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway com-
pleting the line of direct 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 th proceed by Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud-
gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel-
tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ;
thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derbe, 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 advert-
tag,,s 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
Seotland 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 iii 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 flva shillings per vessel boomage, and on the car-
goes to three shillings and fourpence per toii'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 tram-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.

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-

ing will be cordially approved by the landed and other local interests.
It has the sanction and active assistance of Directors from almost
every. liner, of 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-
mously passed. It has the earnest support of the inhabitants of that
town, and of the manufacturing and commercial classes of the North,
and the promoters are not aware of any grounds, either public or
private, upon which the sanction of Parliament can be withheld
froffi a line which, from the vast amount of its traffic, guarantees to
the proprietors as large a return uport the capital to• be invested, as
any railway in the kingdom.

practicability,ha es fo r tl
laitutramount importance, and Rine-
formation of the - , • •
Since the Company for making this railway, and
part of the line between Chelms-
fordrior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the.Conmaittee 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
the allotment
a pdßury
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
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,000/ by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire
plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bart line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing ester
lines, that its 'nierita could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, ii its favour, is obviously apps.
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 rejection of Op Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that "It is necessery to advert to a railway called theChelms-
ford and Bury Rail Way, 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
than that intended to be t
mere populous district reversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a moderate cost ;" (While) "there Is a strong local
feelik in its fay' ur, evinced 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 Cunittee of the House, of Commons have since not only
rejected; e Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandon)' 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, Via 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. hat important Company in the formation of their line.
In allotting their origihal Shares, the Provisional Committee ne-
cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre-
sumed that a considerable number ,were from parties as highly re-.
spectable as any of those to whom Snares could then be given ; and
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. ma be made to
the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate..stree_,

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.
Painted 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 Billstiow 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 with 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 he 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,m e-
venting) this plague-spot on the peace and happiness of the com-
munity of our land?

STEAM-BOAT COLLISION ON THE RIVER —On Sun-
day night, shortly after eight o'clock, the Waterman's steamer
No. 7, whilst proceeding on its passage from Woolwich to Lon-
don. ran aground cif Lirnehouse-pier, where she remained for
nearly half an hour until the arrival of another of the com-
pany's boats, No. 3, which then proceeded to remove the pas-
sengers from No. 7to their own vessel. No. 3, however, hav-
ing already their full number of passengers, became crowded
inconveniently, and from some unexplained cause also got
aground. A portion of the passengers were then compelled a
second time to go on board No. 7. At this moment the latter
vessel gave a sudden lurch, and her stern was driven with tre-
mendous force against the other boat, breaking in the paddle-
box and otherwise irjuring No. 3. Both boats ultimately got
off, and it not being supposed that No. 3 was so much injured,
proceeded towards London-bridge, when, upon reaching the
Thames Tunnel it was found that No. 3 was fast sinktimarlst
being now quite dark (past ten), it was difficultywith _

the Batavier steam-ship, attended to the exa-
mination of his portmanteau by the revenue offi • eels, and al-
though such examination is conducted in a very liberal spirit,
as much care as possible being taken not to damage the contents
more than is absolutely necessary for revenue purposes, the sus.;
picion of the officers was excited, in consequence of the limited
contents of the package, in relation to its size and appearance,
and on a more particular examination, it was discovered that
there was a false bottom to the portmanteau, under which was
concealed nearly nine, pounds of Havannah cigar. The port-
manteau was of course immediately seized, and the whole of
the apparel and other contents, and orders have since been is-
sued by the Commissioners of Customs for the same.to be con-
fiscated, and also for the party, if he can' be found, to show
cause why he should not be also prosecuted. The party, a fo-
reigner, was so shocked at the unfortunate discovery of his
little predilection for smoking. at the expense of her Majesty's
revenue, that he actually fainted on the spot.

The Queen has been pleased to appoint. William Stanger.
Esq., Dactor of Medicine, to be Surdeyor•General for the dis-
trict of Natal, in the settlement of the Cape of Good Hope.
Her Majesty has also been pleased to appoint Arthur Wel-
lington Horsford, Esq., to be Superintendent of Colonial Aid
Waiters in the colony of British Guiana.
