The purpose of this undertaking is to provide for Manchester and
the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire a
direct access to Southampton, now the mail port to the Channel Is-
lands, the West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, the whole of Asia
Minor, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, the Greek Islands, and the numerous
other ports and Islands of the Mediteranean ; to Persia, the East
Indies, and China, to which vast and increasing markets the port of
Southampton is becoming the outlet for British manufactures from
the north.

The postal communication is now effected by the circuitous route
of London, and is necessarily subject to delay there, whereas on the
completion of this railway, Southampton must necessarily beconie a
far better point than London for the distributing of fbreign letters.
The merchandise shipped for foreign stations from Southampton is,
in like manner, subject to delay, and to the inconvenience and added
cost of cartage through the Metropolis, and transference from one
railway to another.
These evils are sensibly felt, as well at Southampton as by the
general commercial interests of the country. The Collector of her
Majesty's Customs at the port of Southampton stated, before recent
Parliamentary Committees, that the exports from Southampton, of
which in 1832 the declared value was only 62,1631., will this year
exceed three millions sterling—that upwards of 40,000 persons em-
bark and disembark to foreign ports there annually, and that 671
voyages were made by steam .packets from the port last year—that
the trade consists generally of exports of manufactures from the nor-
thern districts—Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Wolverhamp-
ton, Dudley, &c.—that there is also a considerable import trade of
fruits, and, of raw materials for manufactures, such as raw silk and
dye stuffs, which are sent to the north. If a direct line were formed
(the Collector stated), he had no doubt the exports would rise in one
year to ten millions sterling; and he added that the advantages of
transmission, by a direct line, of the mails to and from Southampton
and the North, which now go round by London, would be very
great, especially in the case of Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, &c,

Whilst, however, as is thus officially admitted, a Railway com-
pleting the line of direct communication is calculated extensively to
promote great commercial and public interests, it will also benefit
and assist essentially :the local requirements of the districts tra-
versed. The line is intended to commence at a point in convenient
connexion with the Public Quays and the Docks at Southampton,
and to proceed by Redbridge, Romsey, Stockbridge, Andover, Lud-
gershall, Marlborough, Swindon, Cricklade, and Cirencester to Chel-
tenham, there joining the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ;
thus opening up Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln, Derby, Sheffield,
Leeds, and York, the Iron Districts and the Potteries of Staffordshire,
Manchester, and the manufacturing districts, Liverpool and the
West of Scotland, and by existing and projected routes, Chester,
Birkenhead, Holyhead, and Ireland—bringing into connexion the
Irish Sea and the English Channel.
Excluding the termini and their adjacent towns, a railway along
this route will accommodate a local population of about 300,000 per-
sons mainly employed in agricultural pursuits, and will also have
within its range the important manufacturing districts of Glouces-
tershire.

To these localities, to which seaborne coal is now imported at a very
heavy cost, Leicestershire and Staffordshire coal may be conveyed
by railway at a considerably reduced price,
The iron of Staffordshire, and the wares of Birmingham and the
Potteries, will have the benefit of a new port, and a new market will
be opened for the salt of the Droitwich mines—objects, the necessity
of which has this year been strongly pressed upon Parliament.
Stone, lime, tiles, slates, grain, wool, cattle—and all the requirements
and production of a rich and fertile agricultural district will also pass
along the line.

The traffic by coach in the direction of Southampton, Salisbury,
Andover, Marlborough, Swindon, Cirencester, Cheltenham, and
remoter places, is very considerable, notwithstanding that exist-
ing railways have for the time diverted much of it from
Its natural channels. There cart be no doubt, however, that whilst
the intercourse between the rich comities of Hants, Dorset, Wilts
and Gloucester, on the one hand, and Staffordshire, Leicestershire,
Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and
the West of Scotland on the other, is already abundant, the commu-
nication from North to South, as well for the purposes of commerce as
of pleasure, must be greatly promoted by the formation of a Railway,
especially in connexion with the coast lines of Railway running East
and West from Southampton,—on the one hand, through Dorset-,
shire, and on the other by Portsmouth to Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover. A further advantage to the enterprise and commerce of the
country will be found in the favourable character of the port of
Southampton and the low rates on shipping and cargoes—those on
the shipping amounting in no instance to more than threepence per
ton register, and live shillings per vessel boomage, and on the car-
goes to three shillings and fourpence per ton export charge at the
decks, and, if shipped at tile public quays, to a similar moderate de,-
mend. No charge at either place of shipment will be incurred for
cartage or lighterage, and the trains stopping In immediate proximity
to the docks, quays, and wharfs, can have their various burdens run
by tram-roads directly alongside the vessels.

--------
The Isle of Wight is distant from the main shore of Hampshire, at
Portsmouth, about four miles, and at Southampton about eleven
miles. It contains au active population of from 45,000 to 50,000
persons, and a surface of about 100,000 acres. It is an extensive
pasturage for sheep, 10,000 lambs being annually sold for the
London market ; and, whilst it imports all the luxuries and many of
the necessaries of life, it exports a large quantity of grain and of
other commodities.
it is a point of attraction to visliers from every partof England,
the steamers conveying to and fro about 200,000 persons annually.
Railways already abut upon the Island at Southampton and
t;csport ; a third will run in the immediate neighbourhood of Ly-
mington, and a terminus at Portsmouth will shortly add to thefaci-
lities. A very large local population also lies in immediate neigh-
bourhood to the Island.
•
The South-Western Railway Company carried, during the first 27
weeks of 1844, 390,000 persons, whilst in the like pe'iod of the yearpre-
(pleasure trains haring been established) the number car-
rien dt as 462,000, showing an Increase, within a few months, of up-
wards of 71,000 travellers.

The proposal is to construct a railway along the banks of the Me-
dina, from Cowes to the county town of Newport, and to Ventnor,
with a fork to Hyde.
The works will interfere with no residential or ornamental pro-
perty. Contractors of the highest respectability are prepared to gua-
rantee the assumed cost.
A gentleman of experience in the working of railways has Investi-
gated the traffic with care and deliberation ; and the result of his
Calculations, which are framed in strict accordance with the Parlia-
mentary rule, justifies the promoters in expecting a most abundant
return upon the outlay.

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of ne appeal even to the
most confidential filend."—Stafford Gazette.

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield
