This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Stapling, Petworth, Mid hurst, Peterslield and Airesford) will Join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into watt the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, tkat the Brighton and Cheltenham Runway shall proceed through Munger ford to Swindon. From Petersfleld a short branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It le unnecessary to observe on the daily Increasing traffie between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, or Du , : and theses to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of thero c,, 71 line, a direct communication with France , either from Brighton WjU be opened with the northern counties of England. .qoa the traffic must neces- It is obvious that with these in van s ta a i r i i i l i y ng be a I po arg pu e la te n lionfettretoomfoSotesdseexv,oierzoli about railway accommodation. passing u3o o ti: 0 through tt at t i p te r e :s s e e li n l hs Power will lie applied for in the Act to increase the cap it i al, e te necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviation. or Vae_ therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of arusl- THV SUN, LONDON.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. The importance of connecting remote parts of Es.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 dl.erge to the north-west, north, and north-east of the former, and to the cast, south, and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the courre of Railway Peas 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 Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of commuu 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, liungerford, and Ludgershall, and the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand lu much need, and will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. Offices of the Company, 1, Moorgate. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Brighten and Cheltenham The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of Abingdon. Their moans and opportunities of competing with the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di rect channels of transit, aro thus severely crippled. The same remark applies in some degree to the market town of Wautago, which, as well as Ilungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the propesedli no at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Groat Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd-u a direct rail road to Loudon. 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 trout Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Ilungeriord and Ludgers - hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis tricts.

The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass througk an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and dally-inereasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upeti the caprice er uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from none of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following names, amongst others:— 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City sad Docks, lice., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding the delay and exceesive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance ef cattle, Sze., mere particularly during the period of the largo Barnet fairs. 3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne Nal, and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievt"b 571..

JAMES WALKINSHAW, Deputy-Chairman, JOHN WHEELER, Secretary. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. The COMMITTEE of 3IANAGEMENT give notice, that they have completed the allOtmont of Pharos, and that the usual letters will forthwith be issued. The task of deciding upon claims of ex traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painful ; but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence in the allotment to applicants locally interested, and to such parties a., from their position in the railway community, can render bene ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the inevitable ex • elusion of vast numbers of applicants to whose claims, under other circumstances, they would most willingly have attended. The Committee have the pleasurable t' uty of recording the fact, that by every town on the lino between Cheltenham and South ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester, Stockbridge. Rotnsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester a highly influential petition of merchants and traders will convey to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposed railway. It is, at the same time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in the midst of these active detnonstrations In favour of the under taking, the engineering preparations, relating as well to the line from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justifies the announce ment that the project will be brought before Parliament in a way sa tisfactory to the subscribers.

The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the oft of the undertaking. f. The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication h all the other railways having a station in that town, and will he brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at the latter of which places there will Ito a station in communication with the projected Walsall lines. Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will pursue the course ef the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a short cutting reach the Tenn station on Remington's London and Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be adopted by Parliament. The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour able country—two-thirds being a water-level. Sections of a great portion of the line have been made, and the en tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober. This railway will affords route from Birmingham to Manchester eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir mingham. It will also furnish a neater and more direct route from Birming ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several miles, assuming any of the Pottery lines to have their termini at Col with, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and st:so the Potteries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birmingham and Southampton. This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a'station will be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham the shortest 'route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield, and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi timate preference will be given to landholders on the line. It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to the shareholders.

ENGINHEIIII—Sir John Macneill and James Thomson, Esq. Somerroz—George Smith, Esq., 24, Golden-squaro. This line of railway has met with Several approbation, and its im portance cannot bo questioned, traversing, as it will, a lecality totally excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a densely-populated neighbourhood, the property around which is open, fiat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a line of railway. In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Islevrorth, Bagshot, Ascot, Senning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant ♦illas and a wealthy population, an easy access to Loudon, and form the main trunk Dar a direct communication to Exeter and the whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hun gerford-bridge on the south side of the river by the Richmond Rail way, by means of a branch from Hounslow to Richmond. The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are made, the deposits have been duly paid, the parliamentary contract signed and completed. _ _ By order, ()Mee, 30, Regent.stroet.";4 - E.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Doniagton, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Ileasham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuaeaten, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birm:ugham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses tile Trent Talley line. Tints a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com mand other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will to effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at preseut existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line front the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of tho Groat Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby ➢ock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended In. rendering (treat Grimsby a port of the first importance; and it must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ; and betwien Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about six tulles. Being the shortest roato from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic front Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng:aad generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district bet een Warwick and Worcester, by means ef the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The eatire length of the line will be about 2d miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will &ford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amoitat of traffic, the profits en the small capital required cannot fall to be highly re munerative. Powers for all.wvance of interest at four per feelli. ea the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TAULE OF DISTANCBS.

This Railway Is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Verne; with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis times from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district. ono of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit for Its Immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in'im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdeen, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although Inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of truffle alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every lnstanee where even traM-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, whieb is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. _ . Au Inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by moans of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other lino. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, frora whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down to a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd AMA'S, a distance of eight miles, where It will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further tilstanoe of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there Join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication seder the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits o f hi g hly rayonaiik, gradients, so ranch so that It Is con an ticipated that the works pital. will be executed very conslicrably de n i t i rier the advertised ca an The h l e an i d . o7 . e n s e r o s f along m a. y t h i e n fi l u n eenatri f a vourable t , o vi t u lt l b s e d e d r t o, ak i I t n h g e , Provisional Cioemrmwlitu betee answe rable beyond the amount of his de poNsitouluali the rb Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.
