The Act for the formation of the Wilts and Somerset Railway
having passed the Legislature, the Directors of the present under-
taking propose to take up that line at Salisbury, and join it by a direct
Railway communication of twenty-one miles on the broad gauge,
with the important town and port of Southampton. The line has
been carefully surveyed by experienced parties, and as it presents
no engineering or other difficulties (the chief landowners being most
favourably disposed towards it) the Directors have the fullest con-
fidence that the estimates for its construction, &c., will net be ex-
ceeded, while the statistics of traffic aro so abundant, both through
and local, (a detailed statement of which may be seen at the office),
as to leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that a most sa-

tisfactory dividend will be realised, to arise from the large number of
passengers that must embark and disembark at Southampton, to and
from the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, France, the
Southern States of Europe, the Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, &c.,
as well as the large supplies of iron, coal, slate, stone for building,
flour, grain, and merchandise, constantly required to be transported
to, and received at Southampton, either for use there, for exporta-
tion, or for the consumption in that part of the interior of the country
traversed by the number of railways in connexion with, or springing
from, the present line.

. .
The route of the proposed line will pass through commons and
lands of little value ; it will proceed from the station of the Wilts,
Somerset, and Weymouth Railway, at Fisherton Anger, and proceed
by or near to Downton, Plaitford, over Hampworth and East Willow
Commons, by. Bramshaw to Redbridge, taking the line of the old
Canal at Millbrook, and crossing the Mudlands to the Royal Pier,
Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the cast of which is in-
cluded in the estimate.
It is also proposed to place the Railway in communication with the
Royal Pier and Town Quays, so that the convenience of loading and
unloading on the line may be secured.
A certain number of Shares will bo reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
Appleatons for Shares, according to the annexed form, may be
addressed to the respective Solicitors, or to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, No 26, Gresham-street ; or to the following

RU G BY, DERBY, ,AND MA N CHE STE R
RAILWAY.
Provisionally registered parsaant to 7 and 8 Vict. c. 1 10.
This Railway will commence at the Rugby station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, and will proceed in ivarly a straight
line to Derby, using so much of tho Leicester and Swannington Rail-
way as lies in its course.
From thence it will proceed to Buxton, there forming a junction
wills the Manchester , Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway.
The proposed railway will Ilirtn a direct coutinuation of the London
and Birmingham Railway, to Manchester, and thus supersede the
necessity of any direct Manchester and London Railway, as the dis-
tance to London by this route will be as short as by either of the pro-
posed direct Manchester and Loud n Railways.
It will also establish the shortest direct communication between
Derby and London, Sheffield and London, and between all the towns
on the North Midland Railway and London.
The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway will open a direct
communication between Manchester and Derby, and will considerably
shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Man-
chester and Leicester.
The line from Derby to Rugby will establish the direct communi-
cation from that town to London, which has been so long considered
desirable by the inhabitants.
The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester-
field branch of the North Midland Railway is made.
The support of the London and Birmingham, the North Midland,
and Manchester and Liverpool Railways, may be expected for
this fine.
Communications may be addressed to the Company's Solicitor,

EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.
HARWICH SCRIP.
The Directors of the Eastern Union Railway Company applied to
Parliament, under the authority of their Shareholders, given by
unanimoui resolution, at a Special Meeting held 12th February last,
for leave
To make a line from the Eastern Union Railway at Manningtree
to Harwich, estimated to cost 150,0001.; and
To raise a sum of 50,0001., for the purpose of laying a double line
of railway from Ipswich to Colchester, and for otherwise
rendering' the Easter Union Line more available for the Bury
St. Edmund's, Norwich, Harwich, and other traffic directed
towards it, and for which Scrip was issued.
The latter part only of this resolution has been attained in the .pre-
sent_session, by a Bill which received the royal assent on Monday,
the 21st Instant. and the line will be -constructed to accomplish all
the objects the Proprietors have in view.
The Directors still consider the Eastern Union Branch to Harwich,
as proposed, of so much importance to the interests of the Company,
that they have given orders to deposit plans for it next session, at
which period their main line will be open to Manningtree, and within
eleven miles, by turnpike road, of Harwich. No competing Company,
without using the Eastern Union line, can make one with equally
unobjectionable gradients, it with less than seventeen miles of new
railway, whilst the Eastern Union will require to construct less than
eleven miles of new railway.
Every means will be taken to meet the views of the Admiralty
before the final deposit of the plans is made. By important improve-
ments in the direction of the line, the Board hope yet materially to
reduce the estimates framed last year for the contemplated branch.
Holders of the Harwich Scrip issued in February, are requested to
return it, addressed
To the Secretary,
Eastern Union Railway,
Ipswich,
to be exchanged as follows :
IA th, or 121. 10s. of each 501. Share, will be given in a registered
Eastern Union Quarter Share, with 12s. 6d. paid.
ths, or 371. 10s. of ditto, will be re-issued in Scrip for the Har-
wich Line, on which it. 17s. 6d. will remain as a deposit, and be
at the disposal of the Directors for the Branch Line next year.
This part may be also converted into Eastern Union Shares, when
the Harwich Line shall have obtained the sanction of Parliament;
and previous to that Bill passing no new deposit will be requisite.
To equalise the paymeats on the Quarter Shares with the original
Eastern Union Shares, the Directors have resolved on the following
scale for calls, between this time and the 31st December, and beg to
announce It to the holders :

£s. d.
Deposit already paid ............ ••••• • • . • . 0 12 6
A call to be made Ist Septimber ..
Ditto 15th November • • ••• • • • 1 10 0
Ditto 31st December •

£6 5 0
Equal to 251. which will then have been paid on the 501. Shares.
Interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the above payments, or any
payments made in advance of calls, will be allowed and paid half-
yearly-30th June and 31st December.

Under the Act of Parliament the Directors are at liberty to amal-
gamate into whole Shares any requisite number of the above new
Quarter Shares, upon application being made to them to do so.

Warrants for interest due on the 30th June on Eastern Union calls
paid are now in the course of delivery, and where they have not been
forwarded to Shareholders, may be received on application at the
office, Brook-street, Ipswich.

Registered Paletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in
the country; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, is truly good. Tho Heather recommended, but many
patterns may be seen at most of the agents in the principal country
towns, or at the spacious Warehouses, 114, Regent-street, London.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The performances here last evening were for the
benefit of Miss Julia Bennett, and, as might have been
anticipated, the house was a bumper. The performances
began with Goldsmith's " right merrie" comedy, She
Stoops to Conquer, with Miss Julia Bennett as Miss
Hardcastle. She acted the character with great naiveté.
She was sprightly and vivacious as heart could wish,
but her sprightliness and vivacity never once degene-
rated into vulgarity. Her Miss Hardcastle is a spirited,
and, at the same time, most lady-like performance.
Farren and Mrs. Glover were the Mr. and Mrs.
Hardcastle, and Buckstone was the Tony Lumpkin
—all three were admirable. Indeed, the comedy
was well acted throughout. We cannot, how-
ever, close this notice, without alluding to the very
artist-like manner in which Mrs. L. S. Buckingham
acted the part of Miss Neville. She made the character a
most interesting one. After the comedy, Leopold do
Meyer performed a fantasia on the pianoforte, as he
alone can perform it, and was, of course, honoured with
an encore. The farces of A Dead Shot and Young
England concluded the evening's entertainments.
