le commercial advantages and great facilities which the port of
Southampton offers to the merchant and the manufacturer, clearly
point out a demand for a more direct communication with it from
Manchester and York, and the various manufactories of the north
and of Staffordshire, than is at present afforded, either by the
circuitous route on the eastern side, through London by the Bir-
mingham and the South-Western Railways, or on the western side,
by the Birmingham and Cheltenham Railways. Numerous influen-
tial and monied parties, interested in improving this communication,
have projected a direct line, proceeding from Manchester via Stock-
port, Macclesfield, Leek, Cheadle, Uttoxeter, Tutbury, Burton,
Market Bosworth, and Hinckley, to Rugby, and then using the Rug-
by and Oxford Railway to Didcote (on the Great Western Railway),
to form a railway thence to Southampton by way of Newbury, An-
dover, and Stockbridge.
The distance between Manchester and Rugby by the existing rail-
way route is at present about 116 miles, and by the proposed
line from Macclesfield to Rugby it will be only 92, so
that the projected Railway will lessen the distance by 24 miles. which,
as well in time as charge, will effect a most important improvement
in the traffic both of passengers and goods between those places, and
will afford an accommodation which is imperatively required in regard
to the large population of the intermediate towns now without any
convenience from railway conveyance.
It is needless to remark how great must be the advantage which the
whole manufacturing districts round such an emporium of manufac-
tures as Manchester will derive, from having direct access to such a
port as Southampton, which has now become the chief medium of
transit to all the islands and ports in the Mediterranean, and to India
also, by means of the packets of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
Navigation Company, as also to the colonies and ports of the Western
Hemisphere by the mail established for that purpose.
As the scheme embraces the important feature of a direct lino from
Derby to Rugby, by joining the Great Manchester, Rugby, and
Southampton Railway, near Market Bosworth, thereby saving one-
fifth of the distance, it will be at once apparent that York and the
whole northern district will, by means of the Northern Midland
Railway to Derby, obtain the same direct communication with
Southampton ; and, in fact, the project will contribute a grand trunk
communication from north to south through the centre of the king-
dom, and not only will the northern commercial and manufacturing
towns benefit by this great undertaking, but the important coal
and iron districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, which the line
intersects, will derive immense advantages from the convenient and
extensive new mart which will be opened for their valuable produc-
tions, whilst Southampton and the intermediatelocalities will greatly
benefit by the ready and cheap manner in which coals and other
necessary productions, not only of the soil, but of northern manu-
factories, will be supplied, whether for cohsumption or merchandise.
It is proposed that the Southampton terminus stall be a convenient
spot in the vicinity of the new docks, independently of the South-
Western Railway. The lines of the proposed railways have been
carefully surveyed, and levels taken by skilful engineers and sur-
veyors, and in no part present any unusual difficulties. The gradients
will be unusually good, and the general line of country may be re-
garded as offering engineering facilities for the important work pro-
posed.

A more direct communication from Manchester and from Tork,
through Derby and Rugby to Southampton, is professedly the main
object of the proposed scheme ; but it will be obvious to all who study
the geography of the respective places, not only that the line to
Rugby, both from Manchester and from Derby, forms a more direct
communication between those places and London, by means of the
Birmingham Railway from Rugby, than any other route now in use,
but that it will challenge the skill of the engineer and the ingenuity
of the speculator to devise a better line.
It is no slight advantage in this scheme that the interference it
offers to any of the existing railways Is not considerable, whilst the
increased traffic which it is certain to cause on the North Midland
Railway, and the traffic which it is calculated to retain to the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway, notwithstanding the threatened
rivalry of two distinct Manchester and London direct lines ; as also
the immense traffic both of passengers and goods 'which it must
necessarily pour along the Rugby and Oxford line, no under the
management of the Great Western Railway Company, appear not
only to neutralize the opposition, but to entitle this project to the
support of each of those formidable bodies.

It appears unnecessary in regard to a line of railway like that pro-
posed to go into those details of passenger and goods traffic, which
may be necessary where the amount is questionable ; but as the main
feature of this scheme is the improvement of communication between,
and near places, the traffic of which is known to be immense, it
would be idle to swell the prospectus with any such particulars. It
is sufficient to state that it will be equal to that of any line in the
kingdom.

'The Subscribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits;
and power will be taken to allow the Shareholders 4 per cent. on filo
deposit and calls until the opening of the line.

cation for shares my be had by applying to the Company's Solicitors,
