railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp-
ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Manchester to
Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other rout e
and on this account the project has been warmly supported by th
Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line be ween Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are 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, Hinclley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek.
The Company has made arrangements with the North Londo
Junction Rahway Company, whereby it has secured the use)); t li;
statton (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,
at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost
importance to this line. .

Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, 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
outlay 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 for capital
The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the Loudon and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.

The deeds will provide that ro call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest on all calls.

traverse rich and populous agrictiltural

and manufacturing districts, and receive a large amount of traffic as
well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro-
jected, with every chance of success.
As to the traffic ou the lower portion of the line, it is evident that
the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the
Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in
insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at
once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway;
and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports
on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by
means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol
and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth
of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire
may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and
Mount's Bay, " the :Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor-
tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a
traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the
amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the
map will make it manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be
established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between
Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex-
, tent of midland district,- comprising rich and populous parts of So-
' mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of
railroad -accommodation.'
Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of
the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of
war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet
commerce of the kingdom ; it May not be out of place to quote here
the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. Speaking of the project
of a direct line from London to Liverpool through the Trent Valley,
which bore much the same relation to the Birmingham and Grand
Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter
Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com-
munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not
a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this
particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the
report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth
line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company,
it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself
not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be
further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth
was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed
to interfere with that great national object.
The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and
correct estimates of the expenditure and returns are in a state of for-
wardness, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par-
liament.
It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no
engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been
repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be
constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking
will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of
the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that
this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways in the
kingdom.
Powers will be taken in the Aet of Parliament to allow interest at
four pounds per centum per annum cam the deposits, end preference
in the allotment of shares will be given to time proprietors of the land
through which the line will pass, amid to the shareholders in the
Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected
with the Direct Western district.
