Pontefract Members of the City Cotmeil, Oxford The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the ' , metropolis, the want of which has long b een felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this important undertaking, a.ter several minute exa minations of the Country through which it will pea, has been brought I forward. The proposed line will commence at the junction of the Manchester and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, item London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its cou: se (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limits), as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. Ily the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peteraorough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham, (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing railways. Independorly of the advantages offered to the towns in the seve ral counties through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con sidered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient .to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic bettyeen these two places would produce such a retire on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in °aeration ; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with ;Leeds by meens of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line cats be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communication from Glasgow and the western parts of ecotlaud to London, but would also connect Edinburgh aed the eastern parts of Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Rallwa) s) with the metropo lis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging, to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharfs adjoining, where the shipment and trans-ship gut o Important ture in favour of the direct communication from the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway and, by branch railways to the main trunk line, through which alt goods from the manufacturing districts could be conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties, that the w irks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably goad, and that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental property. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of tht it first deposits, until an Act of Parliament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and to extend the line to Itertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

The length of the line will bt about 5G miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this Hilo are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railwaj s, it will form a complete chain ‘,l railway com munication betwt en the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of England, the populous cities and towns bet Ore-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark - , Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering dacea of Leamington and Cheltenham, will thus obtain a direct line .ietween those reiorts, instead of the present circuitous r•ute through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which _ . has long been ardently desired; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of bhakspears, annually res ,rt to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Glou- Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line front that place to Malvern, affording the most direct connnunication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes • bury, this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; al:tutted within ten miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an Inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, awl prejudiced the intereqs of the town. The prop, - sed line, ntnning close to the town, win remove this great Meow. enimee, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity.

This line will also form an Important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and (Wall the north-eastern railways. to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and tile through traffic front the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of. connecting the ports of the Eastern and nortk-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access front the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severs, and the agi icultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor• cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through .hith it will run arc very populous, and the country of the richest desct iption ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line most necessarily he very extensive. The Provisional Ctralmittee reserve to themselves the ptwer to amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and te vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.

Numerous projected lines now before the public will mate 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-cast of the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxrord, continuing to that city tine eoure of railway from the north-eastern parts of the island. requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to tile western and south-western counties. The Oxford and ,alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of commutt cation b, tweet' the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the boroir.:ll of Abingdon, the market towns of Windage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an importa nt railway' accommodation, of which the agriculteral districts in which they arc seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be. tween the rural, maituthcturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury into immediate connexion with the City and University or Oxford, combining also the advantage of ail direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge ; us strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the corn inerchil prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. 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 willeh are already provided with di rect channels of transit, arc thus se rer&v crippled. The same remark to pr o c j o e mi c i t m o e n r a c i e h t , h a e y p t o r o l p v o a s n e e n , e t i n , e t applies in some degree to the market town of Wautage, which, m well as Hungerford and LudgersthhaalsLaci:ainhgntsoaAsih)inagredoonf at:rep:to:a:el and advantages produced by railway traffic.

SECRETARY—A. A. Flint, Esq. 13axiterts—efessrs. Rogers, Olding, and Co. LOCAL AGENT —lt. H. Tarleton, Esq., -Birmingham. The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object of the undertaking. .The -Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with all the other railways having a station in that town, and will be nrought as'near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will past within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at rite tatter of which places there will be a; tation in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, It will pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tean station on Renting on's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe brant.h, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour- • able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections ofa great portion of the line have beets made, and the en tire Paniamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter titan by any existing or projected line. It will also give the best and nearest line between liudderzfield, and Bir mingham. It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route frotn Birming ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several mile;, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter mini at Colwicb, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a.so the Pot teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. I , will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming ham and Southampton. This railway cros,es the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blyti?e Valley a station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi t mate preference will be given to the landholders on the Inc.' It is 013ViOlis that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.
