That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary
between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Man-
chester is now fully admitted, and the question is,—which is the best
line to be adopted ?
The above proposed railway will form the shortest and most direct
route from London to Manchester, and will, therefore, complete the
direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expenditure
of capital than by either of the projected London and Manchester
lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be con-
structed being only seventy-three,insteadof one-hundred and seventy
to one-hundred and eighty miles.
A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this
railway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby to Macclesfield,
as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,0001. judiciously ap-
plied, in the present perfected state of the science of civil engineering,
and at the reduced cost of the execution of earthworks. will prove in
the end a far greater real economy, both to the Company itself, in the
saying effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is
of more importance to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a
much less cost, the same end proposed, by an entire and distinct line
from London to Manchester.
These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by
other parties who have also proposed to make a railway from Rugby
to Macnd clesfield, but
tbhye irregularities deyiati
of the face of the country,
ng from the direct tract to pur-
sue valleys, a
obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company.
The Parliamentary decision on the choice of the London and
Brighton Railway is a parallel case; the direct line, although pre-
senting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay,
having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many com-
peting projects in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at
that time supported in the House by very influential parties.
Should it be found necessary, arrangements hare been made by
which additional lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon-
don, on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus
traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for.
This line also possesses the singular advantage of affording the
shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton,
Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed
railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
Western as far as Didcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, South-
ampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Man-
chester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any
other route, and on this account the project has been warmly sap-
ported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Rail-
way Company.
The deviations from a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings, aro 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, Hinckley, Atherstone,
Market Bosworth, Burton-upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and
Leek.
The Company has 'made arrangements with the North Londoa
Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their
station (of the extent of six acres), in the centre of the city of Lon-
don, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the ut-
most importance to this line.
Amidst the many railway projects that sow occupy the public
mied 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 out-
lay 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
fir capital.
Tile shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the Manchester and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of

shares.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the sharehold-
ers beyod the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is ob-
tained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent. in-

terest in all calls.
