a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere-
wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
ittikc falling late the SoUth-Western Railway at Basing-

Tin; third longitudinal line, er the most westerly, is still more de-
fective In design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow
railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it
traverses nearly In a right line the least populous and most undulating
parts of Gloucester, Writs, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking,
has no independent terminus.
A largo longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland
district--a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from
concentrated local advantages, still remains unprovided with a chief
trunk line ; and It is
contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the
ptestint Undertaking, or a fourth longitudinal line.
Adopting Birmingham as a northern terminus of the West Mid-
land, Manchester, and Southampton Railway, it is proposed to carry
a line through or near to Stratford-on-Avon, thence between Moreton,
Stow, Northleach, Fairford, Cricklaile, and Swindon, where it will
merge in. the. South and Midlands' Junction Railway.
The length of the proposed line will be about sixty miles, and the
district traversed by it is gently undulating and densely peopled. At
its soutlieni terminus, Swindon, it becomes identical with tha South
and Midlands, by means of which it opens a most direct communica-
tion hitherto suggested with the harbours of Weymouth, Christ-
church, Poole,
iningliam, it communicates with a series of lines, projected, in pro-
grass, or completed, which will form the most direct line that can
ever be constructed between the southern ports of England and the
and Southampton. At its northern terminus, Mr-
great manufacturing districts.
In the alliance of Thiel fanning the Weet Midlandi Maxcheater

and Southampton Iteilway project, a combination of advantages pre-
sents Itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin-
gencies also. If it be desirab.e that the terminus of every railway
should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re-
spect the present project Is peculiarly fortunate. If Government be
resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it
will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of Eng Lind from Salisbury
to-• Manchester, that a course due north and south between these
places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this
prospectus, as being on the proposed line; and actual measurement
has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and
Manchester by 26 miles.

By the construction, therefore, of little more than GO miles of
rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient
communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es-
tablished--a line, also, however superior in po4tion to others pro-
mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing
with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham
and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole,
and Southampton.

In the allotinent of shires in this Company the Directors propose
to lave a prefereuce to the origil.al shareholders of the South and
Midlands' :Junction Railway Company.

3fetfopolis, the want of which has long been felti dud is too

viction that OM ittipertant undertaking, after se'reral ni1,Y1146 ezti:
niiiiationS of the eternity ilitiOtigit It will pass, has been brouifit

• • • • ' ' • • • ' •
y lift wipoited line will commence at the Mildtlatt of the Manche-
ter and Leeds, add tOrit. and Neel/ Midland riail*Apii hear Wake-
andisyjlitermipate by niBatis of ri Arid*/ With the t ittifern
Counties Railway at Redford (to which piace it js fife ifitentiat of
that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session Of
and by tinia availing itself as far as possible of the *iiisting.`
railways, will coniplete the ttiont• direct and least expensive tettn)l
line, from London to Leeds, "York, and Hull It will pass in its route
within an 01111111de distattee of Wakefield, Pontefract, DoneaSter,
Ilotherhaiti, Eat Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton
Alowbray, Oakhatn, and St:Milord,
The importance of such a line is obvious, both front the nature of
its course (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population Within
US iirtiltS) as also from the absence of any direct communication fof
the cOnVernice of passengers and merchandise.
Ily tile dOtlattiletititi of this railway, railway communication to
London Will be given to Peterborough anti Leicester (by means of
the SYsloti and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham
(by the Nottingham and Lincoln line), and to Sheffield and Gainsbo-
rotigh (V the Sheffield and Gaittsborough line), by a much shorter
route titan by any exhiting
. Independently of the advantages ofitred to the towns in the several
counties through which this Line will pass, the Bills Iri Itself consi-
dered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, IS stillieVent
to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing trafild
between these two places would produce such a return on the capital
required, as to admit of a dividend, equal to that of any railway in
operation : but when it is borne in mind, that a Company is being
formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with Leeds by means of
a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be
presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communica-

_ ..... --
don from Glasgow and, the Western parts of Scotland to London, but
would also connect Edinburgh and the Eastern parts of Scotland as
well as Durham and Newcaatle (by the York and North Midland, and
Great Northof England Railways), with the Metropolis, which would
be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any
other Company, and when cost' of construction is considered, there
Cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great
Leeds and London Direct Railway.
The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a
branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river
Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999
years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks,
which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with
wharfs adjoining, where the shipment anti trans-shipment of goods
from all parts of the world can take place, is a most Important fea-
.ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing
towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London
Direct Railway, and by branch railways to the main trunk line,
through which all goods from the whole of the manufacturing dis-
tricts could he conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment,
thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in
reality establishing an almost direct and an invaluable connexion
between the rivers Clyde and Thames.
It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties,
that the works *ill be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and
that it will not materially Interfere with any ornamental property.
The Subsctibers will be held liable only to the extent of their first
deposits until an Act of Parliament Is obtained, and afterwards only
to the amount of their subscriptions.
It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allot/ interest at 4 per
tent. per annum on all calls until•the opening of the line, and a so to
extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event
of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.
Applications for Shares (in the form annexed) may be made to J.

tcudh Warwick and Legrairigton, and end at Rugby, the terminus of
the Midland Counties Railifht and. Of the proposed Rugby and Hunt,
ingdon Junction Railway. It Wit communicate with Droitwich,
Studley, Alcester, and Stratford-on-AforY.
At Warwick, it will unite with the Birriditgltarn and Oxford June-
._ _

tioti the Warwick and Cheltenham/lailWay, and the Lon-
, don, Watvifielti Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway ; and at
Bagby, with Hie Lenflon and Birmingham, the Midland Counties,
and the projected Ittigty and Huntingdon Junction Railways.
The country through which it Will pass, is thickly populated, and
of the richest description. It presents no engineering diftietutles,,and
from its population, its manufactures, and agricultural produce, it
possesses sources of mush abundant traffic as to render it highly re-
munerative to the capitalists.
The object proposed is to complete the line of railway communica-
tion between the Western, Midland, and Eastern portions lof the
Kingdom, and a glance at the Map of England will show that this
Will 19ti effected in the most direct manner by the present line ; touch-
ing, as it will, sit MO of its termini, a railway running direct from
Swansea to WorceStes, and at the other, the projected line from
Rugby to Huntingdon —ffoin which point a railway communication
has been already provided.
By means of this Railway, the mstrittfactures of all the towns, and
the agricultural produce of the country colitained within its range,
as well as the Ports on the Eastern and Nortfi.Eastern Coast, will
have opened to them a direct and unbroken communication with
the great and densely-populated mineral fields of South Wales, as well
as the markets of the Northern portion of the principality. •
