At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brentford,
blsworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme beibro the public.
This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc-
tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
dlreetly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption. . _

By the Intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
as or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Bailway at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct woes to the Central Terminus. and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.
. .

-- ---
The proposed line, which passes through or near the extensive and
populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Bromptou, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiewick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isle worth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great
Majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested.
This llue is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and,
although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
Inc has been laid down. so as to avoid property covered with build-
Mill and to take advantage of open aid unoccupied spaees, the
?elite of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,

It appears that England will be iiv7ci«.7nongitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec-
ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique,
opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis-
tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more
easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and eambridge,
may he said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible.
The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also
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-
ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-
stoke.
The third longitudinal line, or 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, Berke, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking,
has A independent terminus.

land Southampton Railway project, a combination of advantages pre-
sents itself—the result of a design, to a great extent, but of contin-
gencies also. If it b- nesirab: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 he
resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it
will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England 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 60 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 position 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 allotment of shares in this Company the Directors propose
to give a pn ferauce to the original shareholders of the South and
Midlands' Jul ctl ,n Railway Company.
