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 meals of transit to the western and south-western counties. The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of communication 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 Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated staid in much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufitcturing, 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 smfairly 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 llungerford 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 proged 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, Hungerford and Ludgcrs - 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 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.

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 projectt d lines to all parts of England, North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth, and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway give to those town.; and districts the most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural distrfcti of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, an the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber 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 *lie 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:communication 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. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and oan 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 Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar rangements as 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. 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.

Tile formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and Ike 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 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 imporMnt 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 Cheitc ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that 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 railw between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then p - o ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppinglia.n, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gren tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway acconm dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. From Lincoln the line will proceed bylthe shortest and best prat d cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various 1,141 very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumeratud. They are,— Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glom. s ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Souther n and Neste Zi districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very ii portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln a id the intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company tilt I I obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the hefty- mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the Sr ,t -tropolls, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whsle distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of ab6:l twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company r. .t succeed, such traffic will proceed further to Kettering or Northampto;i. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of °skits is and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommod.t. tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line it railway, which will be in the direct course not only t• the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester 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 ;to the supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully thl 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 ; indevd, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. . . .
