The imrortauce of connecting remote parts of E.:gland 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-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 from 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 Falisbury 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 borough of Abingdon, the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, and Ludgershail, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are 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 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 ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press infairly 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, arc thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Vantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced isy railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of tke Great Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail road to Landon. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same faellity of transit to Landon 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 trom Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall, to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis tricts. The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general 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.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blisworth Station of the London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of trails for the mineral and manufactering districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and North and South. Wales. This proposed lino doea not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does, an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance of the undertaking needs no further comment. Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed. ..

It will aff or d di rect comOun i cat ion between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampt on , D u dl ey, ..ke. ; and, by the South Staffordshire J unction Railway gi ve t o th ose t. .. wits and districts the most direct route for pass engers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern p ar t s o f th e Ki nh. rimm, and from which those towns have hitherto b een exc l u d e d b y ev es 7 project of the day. It will convey t o the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of B r ldotorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions o f St a ff or d s hi re , Worcestershire, an .f the Clec-hills, at nearly one-half the present cos t ot ° those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cal: le, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also Onber from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the 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 eue of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easist:communlcation to and from the central parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have 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 on public suoport. _ _ h a o t l a e limnoedeisrafretee cost, and engineering has at :I :1 1 17 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 Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as shall best servo the interests of this Company and the public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate the first directors of the Company. Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four per cent. interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

This line is designed to o pen* direct communication b e t ween the towns of Birmingham and Boston. The advantages to be deri ved by a rich, pro,,.^A-essing, and populous town, such as Birmingham, the great manufact ur i ng centre of the kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern toast facing the Continent, and that point the nearest to it by geo graphical position, mei but to be mentioned to he appreciated. Th e name o f itirmynghans speaks for itself; the capa c ity an d value of Roston as ,t,emmercial port is daily i ncreasing, and re quires but little enterpr Ise to enable it to compete with some of our best ports.

Th . e objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are -1 The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rho metropolis. 2. The supply of local railway accommodation 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 50miles in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. i 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 Ilull. L 5. The connecting of the two Important ports of Hull and South ampton by one continuous chain of railways. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at the t town from the west, from Worcester and from 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 Uppingham, 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, not only to the south, but also to the north. From Lincoln the llne,will proceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them 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, Glouces ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southern and Western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very int. portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and the intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining, their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before mentioned places and Lincoln t o th e sou th an d west, also to the Inc .ikftaQ4, vaeizalamthly M c hofu r MwitTiA.l. l , , a iiistgekAfir ANNe twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed further to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. • . At Kettering this line will unite with that ene of thenow com peting schemes passing that town front Manchester and Mk - ester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. ' From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking 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 traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re munerative. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The Hue 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 4/. 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 illrimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad visable. Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol lowing Brokers, viz. :—Messrs.
