The importance or 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 north-west, north, and north-east of Le former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to tliat city the course et railway from the north-eastern parts of theftland, 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, in addition to This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda and Ely Values, with the South Wales 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 for its Immense and valuable products. le benefits which will he conferred _upoi the . Ratio* at large, by preferring a direct line of commusecatiou be tween the north-eastern and western and 34111th-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 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. It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glarnorganshire, 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 area making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very best descriptim 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 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 has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. 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 Plungerford and Ludgersltall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by railway traffic. 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 other line. 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 di - . ect rail road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the same facility of transit to London will be ad'orded 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 and western ports and dis tricts. 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, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded It is in' !ed that the line 0141 commence at linen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ftiwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to lanelay- bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a coanuitivatif , n tinder the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel.

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 the other ports, harbours, and inland towns of the Unit e d Ki ng d om, must necessarily be regaaded as a gyeat national advantage. Dover is at present the chief 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 bright into operation. In addition to which, the Goverrunent Commissioners having selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay these 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun 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-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid land counties. The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godahning, Farnham, and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow bridge, and Bradford, with a brarich to Bath, and pursuing its course through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards Radstock into the heart of the collieries,tterminate in a junction with the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol. By its course through Dorking, Godalming, 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 line 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 ports 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, end 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 twos 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 result 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 Hungerford-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 not present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under an imperative 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.

William Polhill Kell, Esq., Leaves Robert Foreman, Esq , Solicitor, Tonbridge Wells Benjamin Hall, Esq., Iluxted Lodge, near Uckfleld. This railway is projected to form a direct communication 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 Uckfleld and Rotherfleld, 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 tho 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 neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the western coast of Sussex-, with the Important towns of Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication between Dover and Southampton. Tito internal centraunicatiOa 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, Uckfleld Maresfleld, Frampfleld, East lloathly, Mayfield, Withyltam,Wadhurst, Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rothertield, Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticelturst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst. The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods traffic that roust of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com pleted, and no difficulties, engineeriug or otherwise, preseat them selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile constrac tion, and easy gradients The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which they have pledged their support. The usual power will be taken in 'the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up cabs from the passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and to apply the Rinds of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted to Parliament. Power will be applied for in the Act, and into meantime is hereby given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton; to W. B. James, E sq., L ondon ; toW. P.

Peppercorne and Co., Old Broad-street; Messrs. Hill, Faw cett, and Hill, Threadneedle -street; John Wildman, Esq., Capel- I , court ; and to the Bankers of the Company. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., 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 41. 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 beea 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, N 0.12, Gray's Inn•place, only; but ID 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, or a banker.

It is proposed :to form a railway from the south to the north of Ireland, commencing at Limerick and ending at Clones, a distance of 122 miles, with a branch from Parsonstown, through Roscrea, to Templemore, of 18 miles, This railway will proceed north wards by Killaloe, Nenagh, Cloughjordan, Shinrone, Parsonstown, Banagher, Shannon Harbour, Athlone, Ballytnahon, Kenagh, Long. ford, Granard, Arvagh, Cavan, and Ballyhaise, to Clones, at which point it will meet the traffic supplied by the Belfast and Bally. mena, the Ulster, the Newry and Enniskillen, the Dundalk and Enniskillen, and the Col 'raine, Londonderry and Enniskillen Rail ways, thus concentrating, in its northern terminus, the intercourse of all the lines in that important portion of the country; and on the south, being in direct communication with the various existing and projected lines to Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Tralee, &c., it will bring the two extremes of the kingdom into immediate con. nexion, effectually open up the interior of the country, and neces. eerily tend to develop its almost hidden resources, while the fact of the line crossing the direction of all the channels of communi. cation from east to west of the country, without competing with any of them, forms a singular and strikingly advantageous feature in the undertaking.
