Capitall,2oo,oool., in 48,00 e Shares of 251. each. Deposit 2/. 15s. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter 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 north west, north, and north-oast 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 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 , ftlisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation be tween the north-eastern and western and south-western parts of England, will afford to the borenuh of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Ilungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they arc seated stand in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. 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 is 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 proposedli ne at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd , ut 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, Ilungenord 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 C ommittee, will very shortly be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whelp, at present, applica tioa for tames may be made. (PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.)

Armishaw, j., Esq., Rugeley Bolton, Thomas, Esq., Wolverhampton Bolton, John, Esq., Dudley Eggington, A., Esq., Lichfield Green, James J., Esq., Walsall, This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles In length, is intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com munication between two of the most import Ant manufacturing and mining districts in England, viz. , S outh Staffordshire, Huddersfield, and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; tHhee'reSfootith, Staffordshire liroeon. car. portion including Dadley, Tipton,Walsall, Bliston, Wedne s b ury, and Wolverhampton. This line will also. open a direct r ailwa y commun ication between Leeds, Huddersfield, and the West Riding of Yorkshi re and Kidder minster, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, T aunton, d a i n fr d , E x x eit et th er ;s a w n an d with sm LLiaundelonwy: cLaeoermmianrsttheert Milford Haven, , rd Fish guard, Aberystwith, and with Port Dynnllaen, the future outport for Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweex Leeds and Southampton. • The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through EllastOn and Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Clmpel en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where it win Join the iluddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal, iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magn4sian limestone on the route, In addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica tion between the important towns above mentioned. • Arrangements have been made with other c'ompanies to run into this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. • Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limes tone is much su p erio r to that of South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 Cwt. of the former being equal-to a ton of the latter), and pr oducing a better q ual ity of ma terial. At present, the mode of tran sit is very c ircuito us and expen sive,ttnirheilina, Caldone Le fl- e o k m an tl d ie thett ro ß er l i i e n s ? having to go by can a l roun d by to the Dudley and surrounding furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford , Worksworth, and Bakewell country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce, and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity exists in South Staffordshire; and .the route of this line would fur nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a market, both north and south. In • addition to these great a.dvan tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultuAl and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with LEEDS, HUDDERSFIELD, SHEFFIELD, and SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE, or LEEDS, WOLVER HAMPTON, and DUDLEY DIRECT RAILWAY.

MATTIIEWS, Secretary. lime and coal, and that of an Inferior quality, and by expensive car riage. It is, therefore, next to impossible to calculate the immen.e traffic which would pour down this line and the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, acd Worcestershire Junction Railway. . The calculations which have been made show a very large profit. There are large lead and slate quarries on the line which only want an ontlet like the one now contemplated to bring them into Hill work. The. coal is of a superior qnitlity. • There are also extensive barytes and paint-works at Ashbourne, Cromford, and other places on the line. The scenery of Derbyshire is the resort of vast numbers of tourists ; and particular cure will be taken, In passing of the line near Doyedale, not to Interfere with or change its beautiful and romantic character. The convenience, therefore, which this line will afford must necessarily cause a great influx of passengers, both on business and pleasure. Ironstone Is not so abundant in the South as In North Staffordshire, and vast quantities are sent by the tardy, circuitous, and expensive canal company, which this -and other Hues of railway meeting at Uttoxeter will remedy. • The gypsum formation rams from Staffordshire to the Humber, and the demand for this article for building, agricultural, and manufac turing purposes along this line will be great. The timber from the neighbourhood of the Needwood Forest, Banks, Bay,ots Woods, and Kingston Woods, upwards of 4,000 acres, chiefly finds its way to the Manchester market by a like objectionable route of tardy and circuitous canal convey ance ; whereas this line would open a direct, easy, and cheap communication to new markets. The line has been viewed prior to a detailed survey, and there are not more than ordinary engineering difficulties. In consequence of the late Parliamentary decisions, it is intended to make this line on the broad gauge principle, but the pro moters do not pledge themselves absolutely to do so. At the Argent suggestion of some of the most inflneutiat inhabi tants of Askbourne, the Committee gave ordered a survey of a junc tion to connect that town with Derby, and with the Derby and Gainsborough and _Welland Railways Applications for Shares t• be made to John Owens,- Esq., 3.5, Moorgate-street, London, and William Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttozeter ; and to the following Sharebrokers :—Messrs.

NICOLL have received permission, according to the specification in the Act 6 and 7 Viet., cap 65, to alter and otherwise adapt the coat. known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth; it is waterproofed by the new method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect being that It does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which, even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances. Niooll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment fbr walking exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet waather, or In the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob served that those principles are retained that has obtained for the Registered Paletot the patronage of more than one of the Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin. cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are distinguished In their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar or outré In appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward of fifty pounds will be paid f6r information that may lead to the conviction of such parties by 11. J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent street, London. Offices of the Company, 33, Gre-sham-street - _ The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway is a direct line from London to Manchester, coming from London to Rugby, along the London and Birmingham line, and proceeding from Rugby te llinck ley through Market-Bosworth and Ashby-do-la-7.ouch, to Derby, thence to Ashbourne, by Leek to Macclesfield, and along the Mac clesfield and Stockport, and Stockport and Manchester Railways, into Manchester. A branch to Buxton is in contemplation. The principle of this railway is to obtain a direct through line be tween some of the most important districts in the kingdom witk the least possible amount of new railway, and, consequently, the smallest expenditure of capital. It will also establish the shortest direct communication between Derby and London; Sheffield and London, and between all the towns on the North Midland Railway and London. The Manchester, Derby, and Rugby Railway, will open a direct communication between Manchester and Derby, and will consider ably shorten the distance between Manchester and Nottingham and Manchester and Leicester. The line from Derby te Rugby will establish the direct communi cation front that town to London, which has ben so long considered desirable by the inhabitants. The same will apply to Sheffield, when the Sheffield and Chester field branch of the North Midland Railway is made. The Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, in eounexion with the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Southampton, aad Gosport Rail way, forms a direct Manchester and Southampton line. THE GREAT ADVANTAGES Of the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway, ever the other pre jects into Manchester, among othQrs, are— First. That there are only seventy-five miles of railway to be made in place of one hundred and eighty-nine. Second. That it is a more direct line torn London to Manchester than even the proposed direct lines. Third. That it interferes with no existing railway property er vested interests. Fourth. That it passes through a District rich in manufactures, agriculture, and minerals, but which—more especially as regards its agricultural produce, and a convenient system of intercommunica tion for the conveyance of that agricultural produce, to supply the large manufacturing towns in the vicinity—has been hitherto left to tally without railway coirmunication. Fifth. That it passes through the towns in its route, instead of avoiding them. Sixth. That the whole line of railway ftom Rugby to Manchester will be completed and in working order within ten months from the passing of the Act of Parliament. Seventh. That the maps, plans, estimates, and other documents required by the standing orders of Parliament will be lodged with the parish clerks, the clerks of the peace for the counties, and the Parliamentary offices, on the 10th of November next, being twenty days within the time required by the regulations of Parliament. In the allotment of shares a preference will be given, to the ex tent of 10,000 shares, to the holders of stock in the London and Bir mingham Railway ; also, of 2,000 shares to the shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, and Gosport Railway Company ; of 1,000 shares to the Oxford and Rugby Railway Company ; and 2,000 shares to the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company.

This Company Is formed for the purpose of carrying into effect an agreement which has been concluded with the Monmouthshire Canal Company fur the purchase and transfer of the whole of the im;ortant interest of that extensive and valuable property. The Monmouthshire Canal Company was first incorporated by an Act passed in the year 1793. Two subsequent Acts have extended the sphere of the Company's operationS, and their present train roads communicating with most of the great iron and coal works of the district exceeds fifty miles in length, whilst the extent of their two brancheB of canal is twenty-two miles: During the last forty-five years the concern has continued to. be one of a highly profitable description, the average annual dividend paid to the shareholders having been during the whole of that period at the rate of 71. 128. per cent., and during the last twenty-five years the average anneal dividend has exceeded 101. per cent., being 101. per share on the original 1001. shares. . The value of these shares has of course increased with the Im proved dividends,. and the purchase-money now agreel to be paid for the whole of the canal property is at the rite of 2001. per share. The purchase will secure to the Monmouthshire Railway Com pany the whole of the present profitable trade of the Canal Company, with the certainty of a very great increase therein, as the consequence of the intended application of the modern principle of railway loco mealy° power to the present tram-roads of the Carat Company. Thus, beyond its prospective advantages, this undertaking is distin guished from most of the numerous projects now before the public, in this—that an immediate return will arise to the shareholders from the present works of the Canal Company new in full operation. For a long time past large sums have been annually expended by the Canal Company In solid improvements of their property. The liet projected improvement is the formation of a line of railway upon the modern construction from Newport to Pontypool, a distance of ten miles, and to carry out this object an Act of the Legislature passed during the last session, and which railway forms a part of the highly valuable purchase mac% by this Company. Although by the Newport and Pontypool Railway Act a reduction has been made in the amount of tonnage hitherto payable to the Canal Company, this will not lessen the actual value of the property, for it Is undeniable that much ofthe natural traffic of the Company has been diverted into other channels solely in consequence of the high standard of the rates of tonnage. The recent Act • confers on the company the power which they did not previously possess, of becoming carriers on their lines; and it is only reasonable to calcu late that by the judicious use of this power and the vigorous prose cation of the improvements of the existing tram-roads the traffic so alienated will be recovered, as well as much new traffic created. Thin, whilst the value of the canal property will be materially en hanced, the freighters will at the same time reap all the advantages designed for them in the recent Parliamentary revision of the tonnages. • It is further proper to state that the branch lines Intended to have been made and purchased by the Canal Company to the iron, coal, and other works, will also be formed, thereby securing a consider able Increase of trade upon the main lines. Owing mainly to the obstacles in the way of cheap and quick transit,. the endless resources of Monmouthshire have as yet been but very partially developed ; but, in the face of these Obstacles, the quantity of iron now annually exported from Newport is not less than 200,000 tons, and of coal 700,000 tons. The port of Newport possesses an extensive trade in the exporta tion Of tin plate and fire-brick, in the importation of iron ores from Coinwall, Lancashire, and Cumberland, and of the agricultural pro duce from the western counties of England, together with s cons'der able and improving trade in foreign and. English timber, bark, and Irish provisions. . Shares to the amount of 20,0001. In the Newport Dock form part of the purchase of the canal Interest. These extensive docks hare been constructed in the best possible manner, with a lock capable of admitting vessels of the largest class. In proof of this it may be stated that vessels of 1,080 tons registered tonnage have with ease entered and been loaded in the dock. The Canal Company have not hitherto afforded any accommoda tion.whatever to passenger traffic, consequently no revenue has been derived from this usually fertile source of profit, but reference need only be made to the dense resident population engaged in the imp tin, and coal works 'of lionmontbshire to prove that a very great passenger traffic would be the result of the introduction into these dialects Of the modern railway facilities. The general extension of railway communication contemplated in the neighbouring districts of Wales and England, will, In connexion with the lines of this Company, most advantageously open to Mon mouthshire uninterrupted intercourse with all other portions of the kingdom. Thus, whilst facilities hitherto unknown will be created for the exportation of the miueral wealth of the locality, the freest admission will be given to the agricultural produce and manufac tures of other parts of the kingdom, for both of which a constant de mand exists in the mineral districts. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to Proprietors in the Monmouthshire Cana', to Sharelohlers in tho Newport, Aber gavenny, and Hereford Railway, and to landowners on theilne.

It is proposed that the course of this line shall be then the Wor cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two branches ; the one branch proceeding through or near the parish at Bostbury (from whence there will be a branch to Ledburs. to Here ford, where it will run into the station of the Great Western Com pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford and Shrewsbury Railway. The other branch will proceed from the point of division near MIA- vern straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dees Forest Railway near that city. This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great Uhl vent, and not far distant from the town of Upton-on-Severe, both of which places are at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail- . way communication. Tho country has already been inspected, under the dlreetleh &time engineer, and it is found that there are no engineering difficulties of &serious character to be overcome; and indeed the greater Portiou of the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford Use will arose a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels; late the whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. Prom the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe oonatry lb as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will pass through a country peculiarly favourable, the sulfas[* being throughout nearly one continuous level. With regard to the Immediate local advantages offered by ties proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communication ho tween the cities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester sad Worcester, and between those cities and the delightful watering place and farnailte summer residence of Great Malvern, to which It will also give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but mere remote districts. The important market town of Ledbury. with the rich corn. trait, and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and more . profitable connexion with the three cities ; and It cannot fail to make a considerable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port of Gloucester. • The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to Routh Wales, anti by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Whlyer hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynniaen. It will give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining districts of the north of England—especially of South Stafferdshise and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Indeed ; anti by means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton No Exeter in the one direction, and frffin Pembroke to Wolverhamptost In the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between the port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ; it will bo the nearest possible route from •o extreme west of Eng land, and from South Wales. to all places north of Wolverhampton. _ The enumeration of the places and districts to be tra versed by the . - proposed line, and a description of its Course, sufficiently Indicate that it May fairly be expected te command a remunerating amount of traffic. St will supply to the port of Gloucester important andliulky ar of ticles of expert, drawn from the mining and mannfactsring district Beath Staffordshire and Worcestershire; and will still tUrther deve lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of commusi iiiiencepoortfitohniso f br t a h n s cl d t l e s L i tti ec e traffic ation canw setahreeeirlynabeturoal,pro_eratu. mTaht:dh,nipnorot t v h e e lo want pme nt o o f f railw a y aninlpe f r a t cft t export trade fro m this district.

The Hereford branch of the line offers to the agrienituriste of the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon the advantages of ehesp • and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops. fruit, wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the great markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worm.- tershire ; the advantages, too, will be mutual, as the line will afford equal facilities for the conveyance of the minera and manufacturing produce of the north to the rural districts. konlng from Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hand, c oo t : from I The population of the districts affected by the proposed Ilnued. and the same place to Hereford on the other, is not less tha ri s , all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on , I as Heref ord. bt of the W orc , can, therefore, be no reasonable dou from the position of the country traversed, the lelnteiertisiFtede. f r et bi e ample remuneration for the requislt: c p tge it ;ct of Parliament to allow The usual power will be taken I on the deposits, and no subsefitier and Gloucester line commanding a traffic nee . nsklerable as to yield an interest at 4 per cent. per annu m than ta ined, and then not be yon d t he a mount per share until the A ct is obtained . of his subscriptio n. had of the respective solicitors , r at the be Prospectuses may Will be answerable for more the amount of his deposit of 2 1 .
