dense' population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the
towns In questiou ; but when it is considered that this connexion, or
Junction, stands In the very centre of the entire railway system of
England, and that It will complete the chain of railway conumnil-
cation and transit between the river Ilumber, the towns of Sheffidd
and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Niches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead,
Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too

i IVIANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON
RAILWAY.
The COMMITTEE of MANAUEMENT give e,
have completed the allotment of Chimes, and that noire
the usual Jeffers
will forthwith be 153110 d. The task of deciding
upon claims of ex-
traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painful ;
but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence
in the allotment to applicants locally interested, and to such Parties
as, from their position in the railway community, can render bene-
ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the inevitable ex
elusion of vast uninbers of applicants to whose claims, tinder other i
circumstances, they would matt willingly have attended.
The Committee have the pleasurable (tity of recording the fact,
that by every town on the lino between Cheltenham and South-
ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester.
Stockbridge. Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most
favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and
active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester
a Wetly influential petition of nit rchants and traders will convey
to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposi.d railway.
It Is, at the SUMO time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in
the midst of these active demonstrations In favour of the under-
taking, the eagineering preparaVons, relating as well to the line
from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to
Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the
surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justisea the announce-
ment that the project will be brought before Parliament In a way sa-
tisfactory to the subscribers.
As regards the additional capital required for the extension line to
Poole, the Committee will be prepared to announce the mode in which
it w ill be raised so soon as importantnegotlations, now on foot, shall
be concluded.
