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 for 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 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 ainal-
gallon of both lines under one management. Besides forming a direct
line of communication to the great manufacturing towns in the north,
it will also make a complete line of railway bet Ween Southampton
and Salisbury to all parts of the North and North and South Wales.
In the allotment of shares, preference' will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his
Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salts-
bui7 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, or
through the principal brokers in London and the country.
