PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The laMortance of connecting remote parts of E..g /and by Rail ways, With the adYaiitages thereby - conferred upon intermediate towns and distriCtit,an scarcely be better exemplified than by the Line which is zioW pro.posed:to form a short and direct channel of inter course between .o.x.ferd s and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines new before the publio s will make Oxford at the north, and-Salisbury at the south of the intensledoßailroad the central points from which various radii Will' diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and•to the - rnst,„ south, and west of the latter; and the propoged thie - frorn 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-wastern•sqoaties. The Oxford and 'Salisbury Direet Railway, in addition to the benefits which conferred,/ upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communication be tween the north-easterik,,,and c _western ' and south-western parts of England, will afford to ,the borough of Abingdon, the market towns of IVAnistgNklutiggEford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an impor4aut r iiil7,vaPaccommodation, 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 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 he 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 tke south and western ports and dis tricts. A marrof 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 he ob tained from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street, London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica tion for shares may be made.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company will commence at ur near wort.. Bridge (a ;station of the Grand Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed fromy thence by Eccieshalli Oftley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and Iron Bridge, terCoalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor cester and Crewe Railwan" it will pass along the slope of Wenlock edge, by Rushbury 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 extenslve• traffic by-the carriage of coal from the Shropshire coal-Held, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the supply of South 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 coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown and Llanidloes, the price , rirwill be reduced one-half at those places, and the fl inand'acturers, now depend ing upon water power, will, Abyr ,, thiev'theapness of coal, be enabled to employ steam, 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 witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused by the stoppage of the mills ftom an insufficiency of water. A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone 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 heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense. By its junction with, the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford and . Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica ton between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and Swansea and South Wales. As a junction Hue 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 obvious that a sufficient local traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of capital required to be embarked. The line, which will not interfere with any property of an orna 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 Shareholders wul be - limited, by the Act, to the amount of their subscription to the capital stock ; and power will be applied for to allow interest at the rata of four per cent, per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the further calls, !tom the date of each payment until the opening of Um; line ; and the first deposit being paid, a further call will not be made until the Act of Parliament shall have been obtained. . . Maps of the line, prospectuses, &c., are to be obtained from the Secretary, the solicitors, the local agents, also the brokers, Messrs. Mieville and Co., Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, London ; Messrs. CaMeron, Cazenove, and Taunton, Liverpool ; Messrs. Green and Old ham, Manchester; Nathaniel Lea, Esq., Birmingham ; Messrs.

The above Company formed by an amalgamation of the Notting ham, Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester, the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham, and the Nottingham and Boston Railways, is intended to carry out the original object of those Com panies 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 Manchesttr, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Company, 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 to form a junction with the line of the Lynn and Ely Company projected 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; orwicit, Groat 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 Derhyshire, 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 tow's, are situated in the richest productive districts in the kingdom. The corn and cattle are consumed in the large manufacturing towns in the midland and western counties, and the carriage of these to the con suming districts will alone furnisn a constant and certain source of revenue. A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting ham, 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 route to Hull and London for exportation ; whereas on the com pletion of this line it will be transmitted direct to the eastern ports, and from thence shipped to those countries in much less time and at much less expense. The Railway will also provide an easy and cheap access from Not tingham and the eastern parts of England to Matlock, Buxton, Bake well, Chatsworth, and Hsddon, and the romantic scenery of the Peak, and by opening objects so rich in their attraction, will, beyond doubt, comn.and a large proportion of that pleasure travelling by which ex isting lines have so much benefited. It will be thus seen that the proposed line contains all the elements of a profitable railway, it has a sea coast and seaport towns at its eastern termini; it unites the richest and most productive agricul tural district of England with the great seats of manufacture and consumption, it provides an outlet for the coal and minerals of Not tinghamshire and Derbyshire into districts at present only partially and expensively supplied, and it connects the east with the midland and western counties by the shortest practicable route. The line having been now laid out Is reported to be free from en gineering difficulties, and the cost of formation will be much below the average as compared with other lines. The Directors are happy to say that no residential property is in terfered with ; and they have the assurance of the engineer that the surveys are nearly completed, and that all the plans will be depo sited in compliance with thd Standing Orders of Parliament, and from the talent and wel-lknown accuracy of the engineer they have perfect confidence that such will be the case. The Directors have reserved a portion of their capital for the landed proprietors and litterrlticalo interested,- I E XE TER , JUN C TI DORCHESTER , ON COAST I N RAILWAY.

Exeter—George William Turner, Esq. This railway is intended to commence at the east part of the city of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topsham, with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in an easterly direction, towards Sidmouth, and thence, near OelYton , Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport. At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course direct to Dor chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, and 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 making the most direct route to Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and Weymouth it will be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as well as 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 coast as nearly as is practicable be tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com munication from Dover 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 careful 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 time, 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 Alanufacturing Town and Har bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even tually replace theffi 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, Charmouth, Lyme-Regis, Weymouth, &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 with 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, Somerse t, and Weymouth Rail way," made on the 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 making 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 from 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 win he one of the termini of the line, is about to become a great Rational Harbour of Refuge and Packet-station, by the construction of a breakwater in Portland d th e during Government Commissioners, raleasntt Roads, in accordance with the recommgreenedta,tivesonmoef Commissioners, for which purpose a session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to thi s 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; and 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 greatl y 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 iii 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 41. 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. Applications for copies of the prospectus, and for shares, may b e made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 62, Moor gate-street ; to the solicitors and local agents ; also to the fol lowing sharebrokers :—Messrs.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT, NORTHERN COUNTIES (ROSS, SUTHER LAND, AND CAITHNESS DIRECT RAILWAY. 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, iniprove mants, which of late years have made such rapid strides in thege counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanctiOn of the most intinential patronage, a railway by the most direct practieable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. Adopting the line which may be 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 distance 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 Frie, 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 Itt 'vergordon, and this branch might be extended to the burgh of Tain. 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 Mackenzie, Esq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh Innes Camuron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G. S. Taylor, Esq., Golspie • Peter Wilson, Esq., W.S., Town Clerk of Wick ; M. Snody, Esq., Thurso ; or to Messrs. Cameron and Bain, 18, Parliament street, London.

Crowdy, Swindon The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the applications tbr shares in the line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative connexion will be formed between Southampton and Man chester. 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 Serip Certificate; receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares.

PROSPECTUS, The object proposed by thin 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 end 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, Warwick, 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, and Northern 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 not interfere with any ornamental property, and the landowners are favourable to the undertaking. The Shareholders in the several Railways proposed to be joined or intersected will have a preference in the allotment of shares in this undertaking. No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 4/. per centum on all calls, from the time of their respective payments, and to limit the liability of the Shareholders to the amount of their sub ecriptlons. The Directors reserve power to themselves to amalgamate with any existing or projected line of railway ; to vary the route ; to make all desirable extensions; and to increase the capital as may be advisable or necessary. Prospectuses, with a Plan, will be published in a few days, and may then be obtained on application to the several solicitors, and to any of the following share brokers, viz., Messrs. Peppere , orn and Co. 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and E vans, 39, Lo e th bury, London ; Messrs. Payne and Freer, Leicester ; Messrs. Aistorn. and Gage, Liverpool; Messrs.

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 Oxford 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 com plete a series of great avenues of iron -road, whose ramificaeml. 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 mann,- factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridgo 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-. Mg through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from which place there-will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wen. 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 Whitchurch, 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 mies of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrock 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 surface peculiarly favourable. The resi dent population, disappointed by 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 maerother locali ties. As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary to existing or• projected lines passing in various directions, fray 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 grand trunk of the West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half way station of the Lon lon and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge nue by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded yr an est: ward to Swansea and Aberystwith, and, eastward, Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn. . 147 7 111 ani Hull. to TV _ Fa_ rail fur many miles may The line has been repeatedly and cereal,' examine d by the Com ' pany's acting engineer, who reports that the thestructlre of the districts to be laid on the natural level in stance favourable—that the geological want of such a line ef corn -that gradients are in every be traversed is equally so, and th t resis seated on its proposed reef ; s o a f lo A o les ot sr ly s. .P B ot . te j r am an es d causes and plans may be made, and forms C m o u n e rs ic e stion is acknowledged by he t ! e • • Applications for P Esq., solicitor, 5, Basing of application solicitors,f' hall-street ;of the local agents ; and of the srarsPe s es , 1 1 1 1 a 4d sin a g t ha ti ll e -st ° r ffl ee ce t hi, gentlemen f° ll°w-- l• Mr. Samuel Banbury, 4, Angel-court, London .......
