SECRETARY—John Dunlop, jun., Esq.
The daily increasing export trade of the port of Southampton, and
the great facilities afforded to the shipping interest by the completion
of the docks, requires that a more direct communication should be
made to it from the manufacturing districts, and from the north U.
England and Scotland.

The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facilities of effect-
ing the communication at very little cost.

By making the railway now proposed to be constructed by this
Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southamp-
ton and Gosport Railway, near to the Winclifleld station, a distance
of only thirty miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from Southampton, by the Oxford and Rugby
Railway to Rugby, and thence by the Midland to York and Scotland ;
and also from Rugby by the Trent Valley Railway to Manchester,
and by the Oxford and Birnyingham Line to Birmingham and Liver.
pool, and by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, to Chelten-
ham, Worcester, Wolverhampton, North Wales, and Birkenhead.
An examination of the map will show that it is only necessary to
make this very short line to effect a direct railway cemmunication
from Scotland, York, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, to
Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight.
The evidence lately given before Parliament proves the very large
trade that there now is from Southampton. All the steamers from
England to Jersey and the Channel Islands, to Portugal, Gibraltar,
the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the
East Indies, depart from and arrive at Southampton. Also, it is the
most direct and shortest course to Paris, through llavre. Large
quantities of fruit, from Greece, Tarit:7, the Azore Islands, and Por-
tugal, are brought to Southampton, which would be carried into the
centre of England by this railway, and also 'this fish from Devonshire
and Cornwall, all of which would, by this railwaY, have a quick and
easy transit to Oxford, Birmingham, and the manufacturing
districts.

The local traffic now existing from these districtS, and Bir;2l.► ice'
ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, and Oxford to Southampton, POW'
mouth, and the Isle of Wight, is very great, and is daily increasing
