This line Is intended to open a direct communication between the
Great Western and its connexions ; Birmingham, Manchester, the
principality of Wales, (via Oxford); and the South-Eastern and
Brighton Railways: thereby affording to travellers from the north,
north-west, and west of England, as well as from Wales and Ireland,
a direct route to the Continent and all the ports on the south-east
coast without the expense and ineonvenience of passing round by
London, where the delay consequent upon changing trains,
cannot be estimated at less than six or eight hours, not to mention
the saving of time effected by traversing but one side of a triangle
instead of two (vide map.)
It is proposed that the line should commence at Reading on the
Great Western, and passing through or near Oakingham, Sandhurst,
Blackwater, Farnborough, (on the South-Western), Guildford, Dork-
ing, Reigate, terminate at Redhill, the junction of the South-Eastern
and Brighton lines ; thus forming one of the most important con-
necting lines in the kingdom, presenting no engineering difficulties.

A glance at the map will render the great advantages of this junc-
tion so self-evident, that it is deemed useless to enter into minute
details ; but, from calculations, a large return to the shareholders
may reasonably be looked for, as it will open a direct transit rim
merchandise and passengers from the -principal manufacturing dis-
tricts to the ports contiguous to the Continent, and pass through a
rich and populous country, which in itself would afford ample return
on the cabital invested ; great additional traffic may also be antici-
pated from the contiguity and facility of coramunication with the
metropolitan race-courses—Epsom, Goodwood, and Ascot.
It will interfere with no existing lines, but, on the contrary, while
It receives I, will give support to all the western and north-western
railways, with some of which negotiations are now pending.
As a line bringing into direct commuhication the coast opposite
Fran ee, and such extensive districts of our own country, it may reason-
ably be anticipated that the Government will not:overlook advantages
which may one day be of such vital importance to our empire.
Prospectuses and Maps and any information may be had at the
Offices of the Solicitors, and of Messrs. Sheweil and Co., 25, Token-
house-yard; Messrs. Field and Bayley, and Messrs Carden and
Whitehead, Threadneedle-street ; to whom applications for Shares
may be addressed.

12jgg railway will commence at or near Didcot, on the Great
Western Railway, arid ,passing through Newbury to Andover, will
Were unlit with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Rail-
way and the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Railway.
It is promoted under the belief, that, whilst the Manchester and
Southampton lines must command the traffic of the great manufac-
turing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot-
teries, tho Iron Districts, and the larger portion of the Midland and
Western Counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the
country and of Oxfoal requites another commuicatlon, and that a
line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun-
tenance of that influential body as well as of the London, Salisbury,
and Yeovil Company (to the traffic of which Company this under-
taking mi.ll prove an Important tributary), and will offer greater fa-
cilities to the 'Abbe than any schema dependent in its 'working on
other interests.
The Line will agord the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an
almost direct communication from Rugby, Oxford, and the Eastern
Counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the Western Counties ; also to Fareharn, Gosport,
and Portsndouth, and the whole Eastern Coast.

In addition to these immense district—advantages, the line low
proposed confetti on the whole Kingdom the opportunity of reaching
tjte great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Miley.
Its length will be about thirty miles.
Such krangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the
success of the main design, that namely, of having the line worked
by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton
Railway Con3l4ny ; and, on the other, to meet the requirements of
the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great
Western Company.
Completing, jus this railway will do, the" connexion from the
north and ea,Orof Ragland to Southampton and the southern eoast ;
obtaining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the
great network of railways centring at Oxford • and giving an ontlet
at Southampton, tho p
di esrincipal mail packet station of the kingdom, to
the East and West In, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Por-
tugal, also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France, it
is obvious that the return upon the cost of construction) which
will
be moderate) must be highly remunerative.
The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of
the Manchester and Southampton Company, and the Promoters feel
Justified in stating that every facility will be afforded by that Com-
pany in bringing its merits fully before the Legislature.
Fc;rins of Applications for Shares, Copies of the Prospectus, and a
Map of the Line, may be obtained from the Secretary, at the offices

THE CHESTER AND MANCHESTER
DIRECT RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have stow completed the allot-
ment of Shares in this undertaking, and the allotment letters will be
posted this evening. From the immense number of applications
made by persons residing at Manchester, Chester, and places on the
line having a local interest, the Committee have been under the ne-
cessity of passing over the applications of a great number of per-
sons of known respectability. From the same cause the shares
allotted in London and other places to persons not locally interested
has been materially abridged below the number originally intended to
be appropriated in those quarters. The Committee have, therefore,
to request that all persons not receiving letters of allotment will
accept this statement as a sufficient explanation of the reason why
an allotment has not been made in their favour.
The last day for the payment of the deposit has been fixed to the
15th instant.

ELY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.
The Line will commence :by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
ounties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
willterminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich: and Bury
Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn. and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.
