Numerous projected lines now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury at the south of the intended Railroad the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the co•irse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a corup!ete means of transit to the western and south-western counties.

The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and a perfect-line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. • A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and With the names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly be published.. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained frOm Messrs. Ehnslie and -Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made. PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS. WM.

At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course directs Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, d the other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth. At Exeter. junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by means of their steam ferry, thus ellak•ng the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and as Weymouth w it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as ell with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester. It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester eastward, and by following the cook as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Doyer to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup port of the Government. In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the carefid consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated on And near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu larly meant to accommodate ; whilst, at the same ti's, the Agri cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of the Kingdom have been equally studied. This Line will _also open such additional means of communication to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Channouth, Lyme-Regis, Wei mouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position wills other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold. The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail way," made on tile 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di rection proposed by the present Company :—" In masking their re port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen flrom the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly port in the Channel." The great importance of this railway may be further estimated, from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand persons. And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the line, is b oo t t o b eco me a great National Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, ky the construction of a breakwater in Portland Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government Commissioners,. for which purpose a grant was made during the last session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will be very considerable. A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar engineering difficulties, The length of the main line, from Exeter to Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; anal of the Forks, or exten sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway. The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly to benefit their properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given to the applications of persons locally interested. Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro moters of the line, from which it is evident that an ample re turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow nterest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

The above Company formed by an amalgamation of the Notting ham,:Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester, the Nottingham, Vale of Relvoir, and Grantham, and the Nottingham and Boston Railways, *is intended to carry out the original object of those Com patdes with an extension to Spalding. The Directors have the satis faction to state that by arrangements now made, this Company will have the powerful aid and hearty co-operation of the Manchest r, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Conipany, the Lynn and Ely Railway Company, and the Lynn and Dereham Rail way Company. The Committee congratulate the Shareholders upon this accession, which while it affords a mutually beneficial interchange of traffic and a facility in carrying out the objects of this undertaking, insures that unity of interest which is the best guarantee of perma nent succes. They have also effected an amalgamation of interests with the canals in the district, upon terms not only beneficial to the Share holders of this Company in a pecuniary point of view, but upon such as will secure to this Company the influence of nearly every nobleman and gentleman through whose property the line will pass. The treaty which has been pending with the Midland Railway, the Directors are happy to state, will shortly be satisfactorily concluded upon terms, which they feel assured, will receive the full approbation of the Shareholders of this Company. The Directors are now in a position to go to Parliament as a united and most influential body, for the purpose of making a direct and integral line of Railway from the terminus of the Man chester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber Gate, by Nottingham and Grantham to Boston and Spalding. At Spalding it is proposed ti form a junction with the line of the Lynn and Ely Company p: ojected from Wisbeach to Spalding. Thus the scheme as now developed becomes one of a national cha racter—it effects, by the most desirable practical route, the junction of Boston, Spalding, Lynn, Wisbeach, Norwich, Great Yarmouth, and the whole of the eastern and south-eastern part of the kingdom with Liverpool, Manchester, and the great manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, and the great coal and iron districts of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire. The town and environs of Nottingham alone contain a population of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton, silk, and lace manufacture ; and this line, by its connexion with the proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Rail way, will reduce the distance upwards of 70 miles from that impor tant town to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing routes; and will bring the eastern parts of Lincolnshire and Norfolk within a few hours journey of those hives of industry and sources of wealth. The line will pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coal-field, and by its junction with the Midlands Railway at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to the limestone and gritstone quarries of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, will afford an unlimited quantity of coal, lime, and building stone to districts hitherto only partially and expensively supplied with those important articles. By the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, coal will be reduced to at least one-half the average price at which it is usually sold in Lincolnshire, and when that traffic is fully developed, the income to be derived to the Company, and the benfit conferred on the public, will be immense. Boston and Spalding, and the immediate country connected with those important Worms, are situated in the richest productive districts in the kingdom. The corn and cattle are consumed in the large manufacturing towns in the mnidland and western counties, and the carriage of these to the con suming districts will alone furnish a constant and certain source of revenue. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting haul, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive apipnapfnano4f g li p n ;h ei i t p ‘ p v c i a ll to be ti t i r o a s n e s co m u it u te tri d e d s ir in ec i t in t i o ch th le e route to Hull and London for exportation ; whereas on the com thel} ss eas ti r e n s po nd rt a s t , much less expense.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from thence by Eccleshall, Olney, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rusbbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway." The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-geld, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of gouth Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire, and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire eoal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown any Llanidlues, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at those p:?Lees, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend ing upon wattr power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be enabled to employ stall, and to extend their trade in proportion to the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight with those who so often witnecs the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the wills frotil 411 inSulliciency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now Incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime,idona from the neigh bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey it direct into the igiert of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with OW " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sitefileldi rPrk and Hull, and Swilllbta and South Wales. As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obylous That g sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the p.mpunt of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with an property of an ormiT mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles In length, and will be constructed at much less than the average cost. Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure. The liability of the Sharel.e4flere wul be limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the eapttal stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of &air por PPPt per annum on tits gplount of the deposit, and upon the flintier calls, front tbp of the line; and the Brat g not be made until the Act of d da ep te os o i f t ebeactinigatsymiteien. a t f u n n rt t h il er th c e a ll opZn l Parliament shall have 4b ydned.

To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve ments, which of late years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanCtion of the most influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and, producing districts with the southern and eonsuming , portions of the empire. Adopting the line which maybe found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Ding wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the dicta. ce of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route. From Bonar the line would pass by Lairg, through the valleys of the Brora and of the Erie, and. by Strath Helmsdale to the Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its length and passing into the most populous' parts of Caithness, diverging to the right and left to Wick and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. . . - In Ross-shire - a branch would be formed from the main line to In vergordon, and-this branch might be extended to the burgh of Tait. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which are but generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data which may be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, with the names of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. Meantime communications from parties interested in the proposed undertaking may, up to the Ist of October next, be addressed to William Matkenzie; Esq., of 15Inirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G.

After most mature deliberation, they have resolved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the imme diate carrying out of a railway to effect this object, which will be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gation of both lines, under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and parties locally interested, with due regard to public interest, and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares.

The object proposed by this railway is, as well to supply the wants of the district through which it passes, as to complete the chain of railway communication between the eastern and midland counties and the western district, including the whole of North and South Wales. The country embraced by this line is of the richest description, and thickly populated. By means of this, and the existing and projected lines of railway, the whole of the ports in the eastern and north-eastern counties, in cluding the manufacturing city of Norwich, and towns of Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire will be brought in direct communication with the mineral districts of North and South Wales, the salt district of Droitwich, and the river Severn. The promoters of this line submit to the public, as a most import ant consideration, the abating of those causes of loss and inconveni ence which, along the line of country over which this railway will pass, are experienced from water carriage being from necessity at present a principal mode of transit for heavy goods and merchandise, and which,i n the winter season, is productive of the most evil con sequences to those engaged in commerce. A manifest advantage to the Shareholders will be the extent of traffic which will be secured and appropriated by the present undertaking, in lieu of that which hitherto has been engrossed by the more dilatory course of water carriage. As a public advantage to the inhabitants generally of the above-mentioned districts, the promoters submit that the equa lisation in prices of the produce and merchandise which the opening of this line of railway is calculated to produce is of the high est importance, and one of the principal benefits which this and other similar undertakings are alone capable of producing. The proposed line will commence at Rugby, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and also of the pro posed Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway, and proceed from thence near to the towns of Leamington, Warwick, and Alcester, and end at the City of Worcester. At Worcester this line will form a junction with the several Welsh railways, the Shrewsbury, Wor cester, and Crewe Railway, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway. At Warwick it will unite with the Birmingham and Oxford Junc tion Railway, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway, and the Lon don, Warwiek, Leamington, and Kidderminster Railway. And at Rugby with the London and Birmingham, the Midland Counties, and the projected Rugby and Huntingdon Junction Railway. To the inhabitants of Rugby as well as to those of the Midland, Eastern, La/ZOTtherii Counties this line will afford a direct com munication with the fashionable towns of Leamington and Chelten ham, as well as the whole of the Western Counties. To the inhabitants of Leamington and Warwick it will give a direct communication with the City of Worcester and North and South Wales, now so much needed. And to the inhabitants of Worcester, in addition to providing the nearest route to London via Warwick, it will be an outlet to the Eastern Counties and ports, and afford great facilities for the increase of the manufactories now carried on in that city. The whole of the country has during the present month, August, 1845, been most carefully surveyed by the engineers, and they report it to be free from engineering difficulty, and well adapted for a rail way, and the provisional Directors entertain no doubt that the line will be made under the average rate of expense incident to similar undertakings, and, from the statistics in their possession, that the traffic will afford an ample return for the capital invested. The line will mot interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several.

Northwich—Messrs. Barker and Christie Bridgnorth—R. 0. Backhouse, Esq. Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq, The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a common terminus. From Oxfbrd the Great Western Company have lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project under the pa tronage of the same powerfUl direction is now before the public, uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be carried from Worcester into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will corn plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramification from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where it will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at Bewdley. This district is one of the chief seats of our carpet manu factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge a little to the east, the line is taken to Bridgenorth, a town enjoying an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. Pass ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, front which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wein. enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitehurch, and passing through or near. Malpas, have its northern terminus in the city of Chester. In estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce brought to Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal and mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally. In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several miles in extent, and with a stir:ace, peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed try the postponement of promised pro jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better qualified for the execution of railway works here than in many • other localities. •• As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and travelling. This project constitutes a lengthened link in the chain that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the gratat trunk of the IVest of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the Lon ion and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line: — by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eaa:ward, to Warwick and Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, ani Hull. examined by the The line has been repeatedly and carefully for many miles may Lynu, Lincoln, Com pany's acting engineer, who reports that the ra i l In stance favourable—that the ^0) 1 .4' 1 1 be laid on the natural level—that the e gradi en ts etre of to be traversed is ovally so, and that 'lst-ant ofiaclairea lin eineefereyomin: see and plans may i . as pect i u md a be made, and forms t the offices of Messrs.
