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 are 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 stat!on 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 Mudiands to the Royal Pier,
Southampton, contiguous to which, and on the present waste shore.
it is proposed to erect a spacious Terminus, the oast of which is in-
cluded in the estimate.
It is also proposed to place the Railway irreommunication 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 be reserved for the Proprietors
of the Wilts and Somerset Railway.
Applications 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
