This railway will commence at or near Didcot, on the Great
Western Railway, and :passing through Newbury to Andover, will
there unite with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Rail-
way and the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil hallway.
It is promoted under the belief, that, whilst the Manchester and
Southampton lines must command the traffic of the great manufac-
turing districts,bf Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot-
t, ries, the Iron Districts, and the larger portion of the Midland and
Western Counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the
conutry and of Oxford requires another commuication, and that a
line so,designed as to be worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun-
tenance of that influential body as well as of the London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil Company (to the traffic of which Company this under-
taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater fa-
cilities to the public than any scheme dependent in its working on
other interests.

The Line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford'and all points to the North-east. It will, moreover, open an
almost direct communication from Rugby, Oxford, and the Eastern
(lountles to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the Western Counties ; also to Fareham, Gosport,
and Portsmouth, and the whole Eastern Coast.
In addition to these immense district advantages, the line mow
proposed confers on the whole Kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Maley.

Its length will be about thirty miles.
• Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the
success Or the main design, that: namely, of having tne line worked
by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton
Railway Company ; and, on the other, to meet the requirements of
the tratlic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great
Western Company.
Completing, . as this railway will do, the ' connexion from the
north and east of England to Southampton and the soathern coast ;
obtaining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the
great network of railways centring at Oxford ; and giving an ontlet
at Southampton, the principal maiLpacket station of the kingdom, to
the East and West ladies. Mexico,. Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Por-
tugal, also to the.llle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France,—it
IA obvious that the return upon the cost of construction which will
be moderate) must be highly remunerative.
The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, and the Promoters feel
justified in stating that every facility will be -afforded bthat Com-
pany
in bringing its merits fully before the Legislature. y

THE CHESTER AND MANCHESTER
DIRECT RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have now completed the allot-
ment of Shares In this undertaking, and the allotment letters will be
posted this evening. - From the immense number of applications
made by persons residing at Manchester, Chester, and places on the
line having a local interest, the Committee have been under the ne-
cessity of passing over the applications of a great number of per-
sons of known respectability. From the same cause the shares
allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested
has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to
be appropriated in tho3e quarters. • The Committee have, therefore,
to request that all persons loot receiving letters of allotment will
accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason why
an allotment has not been made in their flavour.

The last day for the payment of the deposit has been fixed to the
15th instant.

By order, . A. BARRETT, Secretary.

ELY and BURY ST.EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDM UNDS.

The Line will commence by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
onnties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
wiliterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich'. and Bury
Railway. . . -

Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bary, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion wils the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.
