The Importance ot 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 northwest, 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 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. Tke Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, its addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by preferring a direct line of communication be tween the nortk-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 N - ,illages, an important railway accommodation, of which the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in mach need, and 1011 pros lele a facility for the Interchange of produce be tween the rural, rnan:lfacturing' and commercial population of the kingdom. The projectet! line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis bury Into immediate con,•lexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the .. , dvantage of a direct communication with the sister University of s (lambridge ; thus strengthening the ecclesiastical and academical relat.'"ffl of the whole, whilst the com mercial prosperity of the two term.. , etai pities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of railway accommodation h as ► been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the i m p o irtant and .hriving town of Abingdon. Their means and opportunities , of competing .yith the more fortunate traders of those towns which are already provide l with di rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same re mark applies in some degree to the market town: of Wantage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, chins & Aare of the profits and advantages produced by railway trail*. It has therefore been determined to core mence the proposed line at Oxford, anti to proceed through Abingdon to the statiO,3 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 allerded 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 the south as id western ports and dis tricts.

William Polhill Kell, Esq., T ewes Robert Foreman, Esq., Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Baxted Lodge, near Uckfield. This railway is projected to form a direct communicotiou between Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Lichfield and itotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway. The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable nolghbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more alediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth. Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex, with the important towus of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover ; thus effecting the greatly desired object of tile shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete. The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfield Maresfield, Frampfleld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham,Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Euxted, Rotherfield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfleld, Ashurst. The - existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile constrac thou, and easy gradients. The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will belriken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing of the ♦ct until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.

Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per Share. Ne Shareholder to be liable beyond the amount of his Subscription. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a Wind from that point to the Great Western station, from whence tie line will be continued in as direct a course as possible to Holyhead Inn its progress it will pass through or near to the following towns : —Rickmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury ; it will then proceed to within a short distance of Bicester and Deddington, and from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown, thence proceed onward to Stratford-on-Avon, approach within a short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and Worcester, where it will cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Bromsgrove, and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock, near to Broseley and Coalbrookdale, will enter the Vale of the Severn, which it will traverse to Shrewsbury; it will thence con thine its route up the course of the Severn, and passing into the Vale of the River Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-mynech, Llanrhaladr, and al schnant, accommodating Welchpool, Oswestry, and Llangolle - A. At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it remains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then descend the Vale of Nant Francon to Bangor and Holyhead. This line will in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most consi siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Staffordshire talway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, Wedneebtr.7, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of Shropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that it will net only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro . . . _ duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London amt the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. Up to the point where the line approaches Cor;ven, no engineering difi:enlties are presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be adopted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sirable, power will be taken in the 11!11 to continue an independent line by Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, the conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct transmission of the mails, the Directors fe I warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, including all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the incon7enience so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of sue proprietary to that of another. The railways now in active progress in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking,, rendered at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gain the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the public will find in the improvement of the inferior carriages, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now eXisting, and in all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per tualum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Applications, for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form, to the following Solicitors, Brokers, and Agents :—Messrs.

This Railway is projected fir the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Vallies, with the South IValcs Railway, at a few miles dis tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district, one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at present without the means of transit fir its immense and valuable products. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone als., aboinuls with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geoleg;cally speaking, nearly fiat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for ire' making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indoest so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription if coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far 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 traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as kas been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads er canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallles in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. 5../A.11.• • An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any ether Hue. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales of Ely and Rhoncldst a much desired coramunicatien with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Elaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at l'frwd Amws, a distance if eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Arr,lley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most adlantageous 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 of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be exectzted very conslierably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line aro favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Commfittee. No Subscriber w ill be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until he Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be m icier the control of the Managing Directors, to wfcom power is given to allot the Share s, and to apply the funds of the Company in pajnuent of all the expenses incurred in its forma tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allot tment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally Interested... ............___ ___ ........

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate, whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the north of England. From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious communication therefore between that and tke other ports, harbours, and inland.towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded as a great national advantage. Dover is at present the chl-3f port of embarkation for Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol land, and Germany are fully brought into operation. In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbeur of Refuge, and recommended the outlay there • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the mix try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast. In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, or for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway, which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the south-easte - n coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The lice will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on e South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its csurse through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collieries,Fterminate in ajunctiou with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, and Odi ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey, Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill. By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford, and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading. By its Intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further west, the present lino will connect Dover towards the south, with Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.), Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole of North and South Wales. At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon, the p.,rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and the mineral regions of Cornwall. To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line will confer cannot be too highly estimated ; to the coal districts of Somerset shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a project more deserving of their cordial support. In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted that principle of competition with existing interests which was claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of the resift that the promoters of the present undertaking invite attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the construction of the line from Bristol to Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel will be avoided, and a. new and independent communication will be established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at Ilungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station of the Great Western at Paddington. In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South- Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does net present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except ander an hxperative necessity. A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the shareholders. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,000/., in 75,000 shares of 201, each, with a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment. Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 4/. per cent. per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has . been obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contrast will be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay ment of the deposits. Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only; but na appli cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the Company, ore banker.
