-;”5, -.ing the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great
ein as _ar as I ,Ico:, and -clie:lce the proposed Oxford, Soathamp-
toa, Co 'O, !-0_ Lite, tis a ti.sttr.ice from Manchester to
SoLtlialfotou will be Twenty-three m!lea less than by any other route
and oa this a )rat the plojeci: has been Wai.r-ly supported by ih
"brd, Southampton, Gosport, and Portstnoe.t Railway Company:
The deviations trout a perfectly straight line between Rugby and
Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or
valuable buildings are very slight, and the line iii general ofiers no
engineering difficulties of any Magtittlidb. The towns more directly
inter cited as a local line are nineaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market
Bosworth, Burtota-upoirtfent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek.
The Compitn,y has made arrangements with the North Londo
Junction hallway Company, whereby it has mitred the useo.`.'t
station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,
at the bottom of Moorgateoltfeet, which will prove of the utmost
importance to this line,

Amidst the many railway projects that now occupy the public
mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily be conceded
that a line that will attain such important result' at so small all
outlay of capital, and the time' required for its construction, and
without interfering with any existing vested interests, must meet
with general approbation, and at the Mine time offer a very excellent
investment for capital
The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports-
mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and in the -StancheSter and
Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of
the shares.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 41. per cent.
interest on all calls.
