taking propose to take op.th•it line al sJ.ius7Atry, a:•./1 join It by a direct
Railway communleation of twelay-one miles On the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of southampt,.. The line has
been careffilly surveved by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineerm,g or other difficulties (tit, chief landowners beim: mOst
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fide.' ce that tll.e._ests for its construction, wet not be ex-
ceeded, while the statTAtics of traffic are so abundant, .both through-
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be see,' at tire office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Pirectors that a most sa-
tisfactory dividend will he realised, to arise from the'large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East ,and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
dour, grain, and merchanctse, constantly required to he transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in lb ,1 part of the interior of the country
traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
fr, m, the present line. • •
The route of the proposed line will pass. through commons and
lands of little value; it will proceed from the stat'on of the Wilts,
SomerSet, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Dowhton, Pla Word, Deerllarnpworth and East Willow
Commons, by Urainshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, tral crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
_Southampto,, contiguous to which, and on the prasent waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the oust of which is in-
cluded in the estimate.
• It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the
Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the cc.nvenience of loading and
unloading on the line may be secured.-
