The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.

The advantages, in point of speed, to be derlved from the broad
gauge, as al o the superiority of the gradients obtained by the routs
of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the
city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
the line will pass.
i+oeiiina with Hu) Ow•nt
towns in the north, the :.;alisbury and Swindon Extension will
make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury.
and all parts of North and South Wales.
After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re-
commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above aject, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageoxs
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate atnal-
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
h., also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same
had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that
lineniZ on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a s tar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares.
The hol6;
rs of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth shares, will also have a preference.
Applications n:AY be made, in the following form, to the Provisiona:
Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the
solicitors, the local ae:ents, or to the principal brokers in town and
country.
