MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON
RAIL
The COMMITTEE of MANA.CIEMENT give notice, that they
have completed the allotment of shares, and that the usual letters
will forthwith be issued. The task of deciding upon claims of ex-
traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painful
but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence
in the allotment to applicants locally interested, and to such parties
as, from their position in the railway community, can render bene-
ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the inevitable ex-
clusion of vast numbers of applicants to whose claims, under other
circumstances, they would most willingly have attended.
The Committee have the pleasurable euty of recording the fact,
that by every town on the line between Cheltenham and South-
ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester,
Stockbridge. Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most
favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and
active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester
a highly influential petition of merehants and traders will convey
to Parliament a strong expression ofinterest in the proposed railway.
It is, at the same time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in
the midst of these active demonstrations in favour of the under-
taking, the engineering preparations, relating as well to the line
from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line iy Ludgershall to
Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the
surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justifies the announce-
ment that the project will be brought before Parliament in a way sa-
tisfactory to the subscribers.
As regards the additional capital required for the extension line to
ilbPteo\ocovlielnl,
concluded.

The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, kleckniondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei-
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Gaiusborough, Lincoln, &c., and
the port of Boston.

The line will firm a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or
near,pewsbury ; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and
Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where
it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed
line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a
communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the
south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway;
it will also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, a direct line to the north.
The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Chapeltown to Sheffield.
A branch will run to the various Ironworks anti Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.
A direct line of communication win thus be formed between the
important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton,
Gomersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, parka), Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wrath-
upon-Dea rne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda-
tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough,
Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffieli ; whilst the wools and raw
materials used in the manufactures at Bradford, rudsey, Earlsheaton,
Oleckheaton, Batley, Ileckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.
It must be evident to every one, en looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly--The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts erabraced by the line.
Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. • It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but else to the north.
At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on
the other, by it north-eastern course to the market town and Market
Rosen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Rosen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great Gritnsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Rosen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways }tom the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county tewn.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Rosen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over the lines.
. In tile event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of about twenty-flve mites ; and should the London and
York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and includingthcmarket towns of
Oakingham and Uppingham,
is without
arailway or water-carriage
travel
carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
the west hut also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that, town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successildhefore Parliament.
-
The.country Is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
'excejittoris Only, and. those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line;
indeed for many miles the line will run upon aWater level.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
TheUndownere on the line are favourable to the undertaking.

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will
commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from
thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it
will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail-
way which converge from Hereford, and run into the west of Eng-
land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of
South Wales, and the important district of central Wales.
The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the
Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway
communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal
and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large
mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc-
tion with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and
will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton,
Wednesbury, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, •and the other
surrounding towns, to avail themselves of the great carnet from Eng-
land to Ireland by means of Portiolynliaell, the Moro outport for
Ireland.
It will likewise form the nearest route to the north Of England,
Manchester, and Liverpool from South WitiViii and be a direct line
from the centre of Wales Into the midland counties. Thus the coals
and other minerals, and the extensive and constantly ittareasltur
ironworks of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyahira, tilt, ma-
nufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the SaltWOrlta of Cheshire
and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford-
shire, South Shropshire, will have a IIIIVA and oheup transit.
This railway is essential tt) cofitte the dhect east and west
traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under-
taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholders, and a
vast augmentation of revenue, which M
W.. 41.* from the through
tr MC, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced .was an important railway company of the great
traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro-
moters of a similar Undertaking at a considerable expense.
The line is free from engineering difficulties, amid the gradients are
highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the
atmospheric principle and wide Salltic, if approved of. The prefer-
ence will be given in the allotment of shares to
to per-
soils
rested in the line, and no shares will be appropriated except pe
who shall give satisfactory references, persons locally inte-

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end; on the opposite :Essex coast, and wi:l proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.

The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Ramsgate eastwards, and direct to Veal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.
By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that too by a
direct line through Favershan), at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.

The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route to London.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid-
land, and the Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the
Continent via Sheerness, in preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious Inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage Which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to Sheerness, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater
part of Kent. Thousands of persons will proceed direct from the Ine.
tropolls to Margate and Ramsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of
others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail-
way, thereby shortening the journey and avoiding the sea.
The importance of a direct line from Sheerness tq 'Dover as a
national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of a communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need farther observation ; and the Commit-
tee from careful Inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.

- About thirty-six miles o(new railway only will embrace all V*
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faverehern
about
Faversham to Herne Bay
Thence to Sarr ....
The extension to Margate

s
The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and akund to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dew!, flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is kt the request of many
of them that the promoters have projectcta it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to. Deal, if circuruStanvs shoulf hereafter render it ad-
visable.
Applications for prospectuses, maps, and shares (in the usual form)
may be made to the Solicitors or Secretary, at

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their enbseribera
that negotiations are now pending between the Previsiousa Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the ItailwAyi mirth elf the
Thames of such a character as to assure themAliatll6,City tearidnus
'of this Company will form the Grand Terminus-4f , the-City traffic% north of London.
To effect this important object, an. arieli -.1,10 acres aground (the
southern boundary of.which la.svithin 500 yards of the Bank of
England) has been most creffilly surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and-engineer is of se thvourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, told it has, therefore, en resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1, 0001.
The Provisional Committee consider of paramount importance
fo,
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate. with them, an object which will be, effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of London.
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to clam!)
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail.
ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes by creating for them ti
common centre within the heart of the metropolis,
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuablq
line of railway. _

A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will bo placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fealty of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation.
With slush important local resources, therefore, together with the
vast traffic on which the skareholders of this Company have a right
to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly
anticipated, fldly commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:—

way, at 6d. each ...... .

Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail-
ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s.

and parcels, therefore, at the reduced cost of 2s. Gd. per
ton, a revenue may be derived of •• • • ...... ••••• • .. • . 17,776
