The great importance and increasing prosperity of the port of
Southampton requires that more extensive railway accommodation
should be at once provided.

According to the evidencelately given before Parliament by Mr. Ed-
wards, the Collector of Customs at that port, the exports have more
than quadrupled during the last three years, and he expressed his
conviction, that if a more direct communication with the manufac-
turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a
sum than ten millions the first year afterwards.
All the steamers from England to Jersey, and the Channel Ishnds,
to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece,
Turkey, Egypt, and the East and West Indies, now depart from and
arrive at Southampton. It is also the most direct and shortest course
to Paris througk Havre.

PUBLICA.T.IONS,

Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester
and the manafacturing districts for export, which would be greatly
increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and
the supply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, .and victualling stores
at Portsniouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces-
sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com-
munication from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos-
port, and Portsmouth. is absolutely necessary.

The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the• Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect-
ing this communication in the most direct course.
" '

_
By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this
Company; Prom Didcot, on the Great 'Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
ton and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance
of only thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from all parts of the north of England and
the manufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth.

The line goes through a favourable country, and will be made at
little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man-.
chester and the north. will be very large. A communication from
Aewtatry to a port is muctrwantea, ea that tne Large quaturueecx
corn brought to that market may be exported along the coast. A
quick transit from Oxford to Winchester. to Southampton and
France, and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured.
From Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter-
borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and
York Railways ; by Ahis means affording the most direct and shortest
road to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield,
the large cloth districts of Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland.
The whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and
plated goods of Sheffield, and the cloth goods of Yorkshire, must
belong exclusively to this line, and it is quite sufficient of itself
to maintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even
if it had no further claims on public attention ; but when
reference is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the
Oxford and Rugby Railway, near Banbury' another railway will
proceed to Birmingham, which brings that most important town
several miles nearer to the port of Southampton than by the route
proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby
the Trent Valley and North . Staffordshire Railway will carry the
traffic on to Manchester, by which route the distance to Manchester
from Southampton is considerably less than by the same route round
Cheltenham, and will be further reduced by the Rugby and Maccles-
field line when made ; and as the goods coining by this line to South-
ampton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail-
ways possessing a very large traffic of their own, and which can
afford to carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates than a now
company, which depends for its support entirely on such traffic, can
Possibly do, they will be brought much cheaper by this line, than by
any line which can be made between Southampton and Cheltenham.
But it Is of the most vital Importance to the town of Southampton
that this communication with the manufacturing districts should be
completed in the least possible time, in order that the continuance of
the foreign steam packets may be secured to that Port. This Rail-
way will be made and opened in twelve months after the passing of
the Bill, i. e., the let of September, 1847, whereas the line, via Chel-
tenham, cannot be finished in less than three years.
The Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetshire, and parts to the west-
ward, will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion of
the traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places
beyond it.
As to the gauge there will be no difficulty. The Commission now
sitting will decide that. and there is not the least doubt, but that
goods will be brought from Manchester, Birmingham, Sec., in the
same truck, and without any shifting throughout the whole line to
the ship's side in the docks at Southampton and to Gosport.
'S" A certain number of Shares will be allotted to Shareholders in the
Great Western and South Western Railways who apply for them.
Applications for detailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be
made to the Secretary, at the office, 78, King William-street, City,
London..
