PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED CAPITAL, £2,500,000, in 100,000 Shares of £25 each DEPOSIT, £2 12s. 6d. per Share. PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT. T HE Line of Railway p ro j ected under the above-named title, has been undertaketi at the suggestion of several influential parties in South Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshite, Rutlandsbire, Northamptonshire, Cam bridgeshire, and Norfolk, as combining (without being a competing Line with any Railway at present made) all the advantages of *event' projected Lines, with additions of no ordinary value. It connects the important Manufacturing Towns of Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Norwich together. Also the Mineral Districts of Staffordshire, and Agricultural Districts of Leicestershire and Rutlandahire, with the Coast of Norfolk, and thus affords an easy transit from the Midland Counties with the Kingdoms of Holland and Belgium. The Line will commence at Wolverhampton, and in its course will pass near the Towns of Walsall, Sutton, Kingsbury, Atherstone, Hinckley, Winston, Leicester, Uppinghatn, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbeach, Swaff ham, East Dereham, to Norwich, and, by a Junction with the Norwich and Yarmouth Line, form the most complete and direct communication from those Towns with Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester, Manchester, Shrewsbury, North and South Wales, and Ireland, thereby securing a large Passenger Traffic, and the con veyance of immense quantities of Goods, Merchandise, and Fuel, from the Mining and Manufacturing, into the Agricultural Districts, and giving the Manufacturing and Mining Districts a greater supply of Corn and Cattle, in short, enabling the Eastern, Midlands, and Western Counties of England to eNchunge their respective Manu factures and Produce, as well with each other as with the Sister Isle, and enable the Midland Counties to receive from the Ports of Wisbeach, Yarmouth, and Liverpool, the imports from the Continents of Europe and America at a much cheaper and speedy rate than can be done at present. From these and other sources of profit, an am ple return to the Shareholders must necessarily arise. The Surveys will be forthwith completed, and the ne- THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. cessary arrangements made in due time to enable the Promoters to bring the undertaking before the ensuing Parliament.

The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Railways, 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 intercourse between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected Lines now before the Public will make Oxford at the north, and Sa lisbury 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 Cam bridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, re quires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete 'neaps of trau , it to the western and southwestern count►es. The Oxford and W;lii;1;;;;131;;;CliailWaY, in addition to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at large, by perfecting a direct line of communicatioa 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 Ludgers• hall, and the adjacent villages, an important Railway accommodation, of which the Agricultural Districts, in which th e y are seate d, stan d i n muc h nee d, an d w ill pro vide a facility for the interchange of produce between the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salisbury into immediate connexion with the City and University of Oxford, combining also the advan tage of a direct communication with the sister University of Cambridge; thus strengthening the Ecclesiastical and Academical relations of the whole, whilst the Commercial prosperity of the two terminal Cities must of necessity be essentially enhanced. The want of Railway accommodation has long been felt to press unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important Name in full Residence Occupation Refereuce Usual Signature Dated and thriving town of Abingdon. Their means and oppor tunities of competing with the snore fortunate traders of those towns whi , h are already provided with direct chan nels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same re mark applies in some degree to the market town of Wan tage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by Railway traffic. It has therefore been determined to commence the pro posed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the Station of the Great Western Railway, at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct Railroad 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 junction with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgershall, I o Salisbury, and thence to the South and Western ports and district.

Stillingfleet Locker, Esq Assuming the Northern terminus of the Erewash Rail way as its urgin, this Line will pass through localities to tally unprovided with Railway accommodation, into the populous manufacturing districts of Lancashire. It will continue the important Line from which it borrows the p.efix of its name, from Alfreton, in Derbyshire, where it will be a recipient of traffic from the Cromford Canal. — communicating with the Codnor Iron Works, and obeying the course of the River Derwent, and continuitz along the Diuting Vale, enter Yorkshire, in the vicinity of Saddle worth. In its course, it will pass through or near to Mat lock, Ashbou ne, Glossop, Mottrom, Hyfield, and Duck enfield, in reaching which point, the Manchester and Shef field Railway will be intersected, and the Huddersfield Canal-Railway passed, near to the Rochdale Station of the Manchester and Leeds Railway. It is unnecessary to state here the character of the coun try from Rochdale to Blackburn; it will be sufficient to observe, that it is the seat of those manufactures to which England owes her accumulating wealth. The line will proceed thence through or near to Whitworth and Rossen dale, and fall into the East Lancashire Railway, in the vicinity of Haslingden. A Branch will be thrown out of the trunk Line, from the Junction with the East Lancashire Line near Has lingden, by Low-Moor and Bacup, to Todmorden. The Erewash Extension will be the only direct rcute from the centre of Derbyshire to the great manufacturing towns and chief sea-ports of Lancashire. It will traverse a valley-district adorned with the most picturesque sce nery, and, at the same time, rich in mineral produce. It will communicate, laterally, with several trunk lines of Railway, and will be fed by no less than five working Ca nals,—the Cromford, the Manchester and Sheffield, the Huddersfield, the Manchester and Leda, and the Liver pool and Blackburn. To the multiplication of advantages which intersecting Railways and Lines of still-water navigation are compelled to afford, the throwing out of branches from the Line it self, in so many directions, will add still further powers of accommodation, and, when the dense population in the localities traversed is considered, there is every reason to conclude that an ample remuneration for vested capital will be obtained. By followit:g the courses of rivers, which, in this in stance, fall in with the exact direction of the projected Line, highly favourable gradients are obtained for a con siderable part of the length, and every other section of the country, upon a preliminary survey, has been reported as more than commonly practicable. While the return for capital cannot he questioned, and the necessities of the district demand accommodation, the expenditure must ne cessarily fall below the usual amount fur works of equal magnitude. 'Co identify this project with that of the Erewash Val ley, although not included under, or brlonging to the same Executive, it is proposed to allow Subscribers in that Company Shares in the Erewash Extension, the number to be regulated by the interest retained in the elder pro ject. The Deeds will provide Oat no Call shall be made on the Shareholders beyond the Deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament is obtained; and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4 per cent, interest upon all Calls. Prospectuses, Maps, and Forms, may be had at the Officet of HULL TERRELL, Esq., Solicitor, 80, Basing hall-street, London; G.
