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 tbr shares in the 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
connexion will be formed between Southampton and Man-
chester. After most mature deliberation, they have resolved
to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme-
diate carrying out of a railway to effect this object, which will be most
desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage-
ous 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 amal-
gation 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,
and parties locally interested, with due regard to public interest,
and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his
Serip Certificate; receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis-
bury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western,
and of Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth shares will also have a pre-
ference. _ . .

Applications may be made in the following form to the Provisional
Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street ; the
Solicitors, the Local Agents, or to the principal Brokers in town and
country.
