It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec-
ing and intersected. by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique,
opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis-
tricts, with packet stations, and With .Seti-Port. towns: The more
easterly of these, which is also the longest; originating at Newcastle-
upon- Tyne, and passing. through York, 'Peterborough, and Qambridge,
may be-said to terminate in London, Whence all place's are accessible.
The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also
a Common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted. , This line,' descending the Ere-
wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-
stoke.
The third longitudinal line, or the" most westerly, is still more de-
fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow
rail Way called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it
traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating
parts of Gloudestet, Berkti, Wilts, and Hants; and;properly speaking,
has no Independent terminus. .
A large longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland
district—a district inviting .a similar species of accommodation from
concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief
trunk.line.; and 'it is contemplated to reinedy 'this deficiency by the
present undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line. ' • „.
Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid-
land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, It is proposed to carry
a line through or near to Stratford-ori-Avon, thence between Moreton,
Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklade, and .S-Windon, where it will
merge in the South and' Midlands' Junction Railway, - - - •
The length of the proposed line syill be, about sixty miles,, and; the
district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. ,At
its southern terminus, Swindon, it becomes_ identical with ,the...SOntil
arid Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica-
tion hitherto .suggested with the harbours of Weymouth; Christ-
Church, Poole, and Southampton. Mils northern terminus, Bir-
mingham, it communicates with a ,series of lines, projected; in pro-
gress; Or Completed, which will form the most direct line that can
ever be constructed between-the southern ports of England 'and the
great manufacturing districts.

and Southampton Railway project, a combination advaritaB pre .
cents itself-the resrlt of a deeign, to a great extent, but of C
henries alsci.• If it be desirable that the terminus of every %
should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in tu t be
spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Governm.en.. it
resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct line, ":0.
will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Sehtoe ,
to Manchester, that a course due north and south between '",,,4
places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in..:e7t
prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual rneasur,e'od
has shown this line to be the shortest between Southall:11On
Manchester by 26 miles. 0 Mlles of

By the construction, therefore, of little more than - nient
rail, as here prOposed, the shortest, most direct, ce:nlebe

musing similar advantages. may yet be considered as coTP

with none, but as an independent work, originating at Illrinnfoo;,
and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch,
and Southampton. . forcP°"
