The, great importance and increasing prosperity of the port
idtha.t more extensive railway accommodation
stuuthldambeptsotnuuee
requiresproved
According to the evidence:lately given before Parliament by Mr. Ed-
wards, the Collector of Customs at that port, the exports have more
c
than quadrupled during the last three years, and he expressed hisonviction, that if a more direct communication with the manufac-
turing districts was made, the exports would increase to no less a
sum than ten millions the first year afterwards.
to Portugal, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece,
All the steamers from England to Jersey, and the Channel Islanda,
Turkey, Egypt, and the East and West Indies, now depart from and
arrive at Southampton. It is also the most direct and shortest course
to ('aril through Havre.
Large quantities of goods are now brought to it from Manchester
and the manufacturing districts for export, which would be greatly
increased if the means of transit were easier and less expensive, and
the supply of clothing and naval stores from Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and Staffordshire, to her Majesty's dockyards, and victualling stores
at Portsmouth and Gosport, in addition to the export trade, is neces-
sarily very great, so that it is clear, that a more direct railway com-
munication from the manufacturing districts to Southampton, Gos-
port, and Portsmouth. is absolutely necessary.
The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect-
ing this communication in the most direct course.
By making the railway, which will now be constructed by this
Company, from Dideot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
ton and Gosport Railway, near the Andover Road station, a distance
of only thirty miles, the most direct and tha shortest commu-
nication will be funned from all parts of the north of England and
the manufacturing districts, to Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth.
The line goes through a favaurable country, and will be made at
little cost. The traffic on it, wholly irrespective of that from Man-
chester and the north, will be very large. A communication from
Newbury to a port is much wanted, so that the large quantities of
corn brought to that market may be exported along the coast. A
quick transit from Oxfoni to Winchester, to Southampton and
France. and to the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, will be secured.
From Oxford railways are about to be made to Cambridge, Peter-
borough, and Lincoln, and to Rugby, there joining the Midland and
York Railways ; by this means affording the most direct and shortest
road to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Sheffield,
the large cloth districts of Yorkshire, and to York and Scotland.
The whole of this traffic, together with the carriage of the cutlery and
belongplated geTelisusc,,feSl3lr

of
itself
to maintain it, and to secure for it a large share of support, even
if it had no further claims on public attention ; but when
reference is made to the map, it will be seen that, from the
Oxford and Rugby Railway, near Banbury' another railway will
proceed to Birmingham,
which brings that most important town
several miles nearer to the port of Southampton than by the route
proposed by other parties through Cheltenham. Again, from Rugby
the Trent Valley and North Staffordshire Railway will carry the
traffic on to Manchester, by which route the distance to Manchester
from Southampton is considerably less than by the same route round
Cheltenham, and will be further reduced by the Rugby and Maccles-
field line when made ; and as the goods coming by this line to South-
ampton will, for the greater part of the distance, travel over rail-
ways possessing a very large traffic of their own, and which can
afford to carry this extra traffic at very much lower rates than a new
company, whioh depends for its support entirely on such traffic, can
possibly do,theY will brought much cheaper by this line, than by
any line which be
can be made between Southampton and Cheltenham.
But it is of the most vital importance to the town of Southampton
that this communication with the manufacturing districts should be
completed in the least possible time, in order that the continuance of
the foreign steam packets may
be secured to that Port. This Rail-
way will be made and opened in twelve months after the passing of
the Bill, 1. e., the Ist of September, 1847, whereas the line, via Chel-
tenham, cannot be finished in less than three years.
The Railways from Yeovil and Dorsetshire, and parts to the west-
ward, will join this line near Whitchurch, and bring great portion of
the traffic from the west over this line to Oxford and the places
beyond it.
As to the gauge there will be no difficulty. The Commission now
sitting will decide that. and there is not the least doubt, but that
goods will be brought from Manchester, Birmingham, Sec., in the
amine truck, and without any shifting throughout the whole line to
the ship's side in the docks at Southampton and to Gosport.
A certain number of Shares will be allotted to Shareholders In the
Great Western and South Western Railways who apply for them.
Applications for derailed prospectus, maps, and shares, may be

Mr. William Meyrick, 2, Pumice's Inn, London
Mes3rs. Rose and Messrs. Tindal, Aylesbury
Messrs. Hearn and Nelson, and Mr. Henry Smith, Buckingham
The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
43 the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham,
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of access
to the metropolis, and connecting the also with the Northern and
Eastern lines of railway, as well as with Oxford and the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury ; from which
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In addition to the line above described. it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through
Bicester to Oxford; and in connexion with the line here proposed,
the Bedford, and London and Birmingham Company, intend to make
a connecting line between Bedford and Wolverton.
The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines should be made with the co-operation,
and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway company; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per aunum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.
It is intended to offer the shares in such proportion as the amount
of capital will allow of, to the holders of shares in the London,
Worcester and South Staffordshire Railway Company, subject to the
approbation of the Committee of Management, with the exception
of such as may be required for parties having local interests.

BUCKLNGHAM and LONDON and BIR-

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the• un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without itame or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce;
will keep good in all
climates.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.—On Monday, the 18th inst.
about 1 o'clock, as the Hon. Granville Knox, accompanied by
his friend Mr. Bryant, who are pupils of the Rev. B. S. Val-
lack, of St. Bud .au, were bathing immediately under the
little cottage on the Devonshire side of &lush passage, the
former, while walking into the water, lost his footing, owing
to the sudden shelving of the bank, and got beyond hia depth.
Mr. Bryant rushed to his assistance, and held him up for some
time by grasping holtl of the hair of his head, but Air. Knox
having suddenly caught hold of and clung to Mr. Bryant so
closely as to endanger his safety, he was obliged to leave the
unfortunate young gentleman, who sank immediately. _ Mr.
Bryant gave an alarm, and a waterman who was near the spot,
groped with his paddle to find the body, but could not discover
it ; and though persevering exertions were made by the Salt-
ash men, they were unsuccessful until the next day, when it
was found accidentally at low water, on an oyster bank, about
three-quarters of a mile from the spot of the melancholy
casualty. The young gentleman, who was a son of Lord
Iltrifurly, was between 15 and 16 years of age, and was much
beloved for his amiable disposition. lie had only just returned
from visiting his friends.
TIIE SPITALEIELDS WEAVERS.—TIIE SILK ACT.—
Thursday night, at eight, a crowded meeting of the board
of silk hand-loom weavers of Spitalfields and its vicini`y was
held in the Hare-street School-room, for the purpose of hear-
ing the report of the deputation appointed to watch the pro-
gress of, and to introduce additional clauses into, a Bill first
brought into the House of Lords by Lord Lilford relating to
silk weavers, and which Bill has now become the law of the
land, the Act having made further regulations respecting the
ticket of work to be delivered to the weavers ; Mr. Vendomrai
in the chair. Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the union, corn-
muoicated the steps taken by the deputation by waiting on
Lord Lilford and other Members of Parliament, in order to
obtain the passing of the Bill, which he observed would be of
the greatest advantage to the weavers. The report was unani-
mously received and adopted.
11YDROPHODIA.—A letter from Rochelle states that
a respectable inhabitant of the town, Mme. Henri, the owner
of an inn in the faubourg St. Eloi, has just died of hydrophobia.
The dog, which some time back had bitten the Custom-house
officer whose death has been mentioned in the Messager, was
in the habit of going into Mme. Henri's house, and playing
with the cats. One of the latter, two months ago, bit her mis-
tress slightly in the hand, but the scar soon healed up. By
chance, a few days ago, a person happened to speak before her
of the Custom-house officer's death, and at once Mme. Henri
was taken ill. It was found necessary to take her to bed, and
soon after she became ao violent that a straight-waistcoat was
found requisite. She died on the 15th inst. in great agony.
