The imrortance of connecting remote parts of E,:gland by rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be beter exemplified than by the line which is tow proposed to form a short and direct channel ofinter course between Oxford and Salisbury. 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 northwest, north, and north-east of the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and :-alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borouch of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjace-it villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much need, a'id will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdwn. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury Into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge; thus strengthening the eceVsiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be ess , mtially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press trafairly 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 severe'v crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as well as Ilungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced 143 - 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, Ifungerforcl and Lodgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts. The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be corn.. pleted in suit:Went time to enable the Company to apply to . Parlia ment in the next session ; and the promoters having receivedgeneral and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry, landowners, traders, and influential inhabitants. have reasonable ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during the ensuing session.

Birmingham. il 1 b g e The namo of Birminglia rn speaks for itself; the capacity and value of Boston As a come seri:lel port Is daily increasing, and re quires but little enterprise to• enable it to compete with some of our best pors. It Is proposed that th!s line: should commence at Leicester, where it will form a continuation of: the direct line from Birmingham to that town, and proceeding BY or near Melton Mowbray, Ccirby, Folkenhain, and Donoington , terminate at Boston; thus affording a direct communication betvree p B' rmingham and its important manu facturing districts—Rugby, the , ''g rest centre of England, and Boston, their nearest seaport, which el nentnally must command the traffic of . the districts with which it is in connexion and the opposite ports of the Continent: and al, p, without at all interfering with its direct route, a branch will be f firmed to the large and influential town of Grantham. The country is easy, preser ifr i g few or no engineering difficulties. Another advantage held ' ju t by this project is the improvement of the harbour of Boston, w Lerc h, it will be restored to that eminent position it fornierly he', ,1 . , ~ j i IpIA I g . tlm and harbours of, the . : kingdom. _ .

The objects i n t en d ed to be accomplished by this undertaking are —I. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rho metropolis. 2. The supply of Ideal railway actommodation to the Important districts embraced by the line. 3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western counties and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull. 5. The connecting of the two important purts of Hull and South ampton by ono continuous cha'n of railways. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, itanbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that town from the west, from Worcester and front 'Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companieS competing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of- L T ppingliam, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, pot only to time south, but :Aso to the, north. From Lincoln the line will pioceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to The sources of traffic which this line will secure are 'various and very considerable ; sonic of theta only can be here enumerated. They are,—. Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glonecs ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Sonthetu and Western thaintermediate towns. In the event,of the Cambridge and Lincoln Itlilway Company nut obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before.. mentioned places and Lincoln to th e s o u th an d west, aleo to the me , tropolis, 1%111 Naas along this line of railway ; The former the'whole distance, and the latter in any ercnt to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company nct stleeced.•-such &attic will proceed further to Kettering or Nertharopton, The Emilie district between Grantham and - Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakhant 1 ' l- t ' ' l l :o g n t s e si and Uppingharn. is, withont.rallway or wat e r- c ar r i age accommoda tion, and the whole of io traffic theretbre will travel over this hoe o f railway, which will be in the di rec t course not only to the west batbatalso to London. At Kette, lug this line will unite with that one of the now cOm emej•isgpual ass:l3 i 1 itillipaotrttaennvtn advantagesfr la tl which c s d c: r s t t a e k r i, : g o - Lomita& Which shall he successful before Parlia men t, presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro. visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the, supposed traflle or otherwise, to say incite ,than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re- Muntrative. • The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exeeptlong only, and-those are,more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greats: portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lice will not interfere with any ornamental property. The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying .to Parlia ment in the ensuing session. : No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament, to allow Interest at the rate of 41. per cent: per annum on all calls from the date of their payment,- and to limit the liability of each share holder to the amount of his subscription. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great 2rimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad. visahle.

This railway will commence at the important town Of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdos, Trysull, and Cla verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud low, and there fall into other project,d lines to all parisof England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two and Wolve:l' route • for passenge; ' an .. Eastern, and Eastern parts of . i, , ' will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, ampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction It;tilway.

To the towns embraced in this Pm, the value of obtaining thereby, at tile Cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the utmost importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, mr the most direct commu nication bet Ween Ireland and the Metropolis, gni line will thereby r. from to passengers the easist.communicatlon to and from the central Nati to the ithigdom, It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they havd the sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim 011 public import. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be con structed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly protected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company Will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Matiageinent, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements L Shall best serve the interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company.
