CONSULTING ENGINEER — ACTING ENGINEER—CharIes Edward Bernard, Esq. SECRETARY, pro tem.—W. D. Logic, ESq. The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Fawr and Ogwr Fach, and of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their secluthel situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy communication with the sea, have teen hitherto wholly neglected. In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected. The length of the main line will be about 18 miles, and the branches up the three valleys 16, making in the whole about 34 miles. The branches will commence from Blaenogwr, in the vale of Ogwr Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in tkat of the Garw, from Blaenogwr, in the vale of the Ogwr Each, arid will concentrate at Bryn Cethin ; from thence the main line formed by thisjunctioriwill pass by Llanharren, and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Carwdilliff. has The whole district of country thrnugk which the lines pass already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cutting, expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There Is on the spot abundance tf stone Anil other materials for the proper execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful local interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have given their sanction and approval. The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a cheap and ready market be afforded for their manufacturing and agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the South Wales Railway near this town. The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of colleries on a large scale will immediately succeed the formation of the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar ket whatever. It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders. No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub scription. Until an Act of Parliament shall bo obtained the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds of the Company in payment 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 to raise any additional capi tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by malgamation or otherwise, with any l oth( r Company or Companies; and power is hereby given ro moters to nominate the Managing Committee to the registere d p of the Company lii the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners on the line, and to other parties locally interested.

The importance et 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 tke intended railroad, the central points from which various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east Si 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 means 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 coramunlcation 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 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 ot 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 anfairly 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 trafflo. 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 Stoventon, 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 juuc tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through Salisbur the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers hall, to y, and thence to tke south and western ports and die. 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.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties and Trent Valley Railways, and the point to which several other projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury, Lind Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be about 56 miles. The advantages that will result from the construction of this line are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing and proposed railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern counties of England, the populous cities and towns before-named, and the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull, into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of Leamington and Cheltenham, the richly-productive and far-famed Vale of Evesham,' and the seaports of Gloucester , B ristol, Pl y mouth, and Falmouth, and those of South Wales. The inhabitants and visitors of the much -frequented watering places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line between those resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication which has long been ardently desired; and it will also afford the utmost fa cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by the beauty of the scenery as the memory of ShaksPeare, annually resort to Stratford-on-Avon. To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles, besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham. At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating atmosphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills. To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan tageous ; situated within tea miles of the important city and port of Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the interests of the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove this great Inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of prosperity. The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immenEe sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, making Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region, and it is impossible to conceive any project better calculated to advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting that object. Ths line will also form an important junction between the London and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham; and the through traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great. It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ; of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon and Severe, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor• cestershire, in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north. The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be very great in addition to th e thro ugh must necessarily be very extensive . The Provisional Comm ittee reserve t o themsel v es the p ower to traffic, which on such a line amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient. The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 207 . . . . . . each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon allotment. The liability of the subscribers will be limited by tho Act to the amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the line. The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex• changed for certificates of scrip, of which duo notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the time to be limited by such notice, will bo absolutely forfeited. Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from any of the undermentioned Sharcbrokers ; but no application will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to ono of the Provi sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker; — London—Mr. A.

It is intended to sheet this desirable object by the construction of a line of railwa, cotnmencing at sandg Grantham, hail. L'ppingham, near to Rockingham Bothwell, and joining the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough and North ampton ; thus forming in connexion with projected lines of railway from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to South ampton, the connecting link, In one uninterrupted chain of railway communication, from Hull and Grimsby to • Southampton, Gosport, and Poole, and the whole of the south-western coast of England. It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby, and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rtitlandshire, Northamptonshire, and part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Exeter, and the south and west of England. An inspection of the map will at once show the Importance of this undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the south generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the adjacent counties, at present without railway accommodation; whilst Its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway Companies, and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form a most profitable adjunct), must be obvious. This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected line from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and Grimsby, the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to Lincoln; at Grantham with the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and Grantham, and the Grand Union ; at Oakham with the Syston and Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham and London, and Manchester Direct. One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does not run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of railway. The ground has been surveyed and found to be practicable, pre senting for the most part no engineering difficulties. Satisfactory communications for mutual co-operation have been opened with the several companies whose interests will be affected by the proposed line. In the meantime, the Committee of Manage ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or deviate from the proposed line, or make such extension and branches as they may hereafter deem advisable. The subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their sub scriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at thq rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act. In consequence of a great portion of the shares having been already applied for, the period for application must necessarily be very limited. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the following sharebrokers :—London, Mr. W. West, Capel-court ; Mr. Benjamin Rankin, Tokenhouse-yard ; Mr. Morton, 14, Exchange buildings, Liverpool ; Messrs. E. C. Hopps and Co., Leeds ; Messrs. Gibson and Dover, Manchester ; Messrs.

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house• holder in the kingdom. From among numerous testmonials, the ollowing is respestftilly submitted : " TO .7(R. THOMAS PROUT, 29, STRAND, LONDON. " 5, Cooper-street, Manchester, ;March 12, 1842. Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of ♦arious Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c.. with so little inconvenience ; I am therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means ong wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource In an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated. " I am, Slr, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." . . _ The unpreCedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from their use, render any lengtheded comment necessary ; they are not put fbrth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-known at tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals, Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness, Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail• way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with the Eastern Counties Tup t b i r s i d e g o e n t N e S m 'e p ll i s a , t ( I , .. d ew t o es , p a ro n c d eed ßr ig fr h o t i o n n . Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mailing, and Iladlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South. Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining tke Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus firm, in con. junction with the railways now in progress en the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole of the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal propri e tors along the line, and the Cor p oration of Gravesend ha v e proms • ed their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf. ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffie cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
