PROSPECTUS.

The object of this Company is to construct a direct and continuous
line of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through
Northleach, Burford, and Whitey, to Oxford, and thence, by Theme,
to form a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at
onee opening the shortest mute from those towns and the surround-
ing districts to the metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and
Bletchley, and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam-
bridge, -Norwich, and the whole of the eastern side of the kingdom.
Tile un Jertaking- is promoted by parties locally interested in the
district through which the line will pass, in conjunction with the
Shareholders in the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester
Independent Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during
the session which has just closed for making the line between Oxford
and Cheltetnhatn, which failed upon technical objections onl,. It
will be the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of
the inhabitants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town
of Cheltenham,

A large proportion of the capital will be subscribed by the London
and North-Western Railway Company, who have also agreed to
lease the line in perpetuity, at a rent equal to four and a half per
cent. upon the outlay, with an equal, ivision of surplus profits.
_ _

This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London
to 10b miles, being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with
the• present route, and the distance between Oxford and London will
be shorter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into
account the saving in time arising from the more convenient position
of the London Terminus at Euston -square as compared with Pad-
dington, which, to parties going to the City and most parts of the
metropolis, may be considered as nearly equal to ten miles of rail-
,ay travelling. An unbroken narrow gauge communication will
also be effected by means of this line between the Docks and Port
of London and those of Gloucester, and there is no doubt eventually
with Bristol, an object of considerable commercial importance.
Worcester, and the important district of which it forms the centre,
will also be brought by this litre within the same distance of London
as by any other lines sanctioned by Parliament.
It having been decided by Parliament that (with some exceptions,
not applying to the present case) all new lines of railway shall 11, re-
after be constructed on the narrow gauge, it is obvious that the traffic
of the d.striets accommodated b'• the proposed line will be best deve-
loped by a Company in connexion with the existing narrow gauge
lines, giving, at thy• same time, to the public the advantages of that
competition which the Legislature have recently evinced their anxiety
to establish between rival Companies.

-Applications for Shares may be made, in the form given below, to
the secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 29, Great
'x;enrge street, Westminster. In the allotment of Shares, a prefer-'
ence will be given to parties resident on the line, or having local
interest.

REVIEWS OP' THE WORK.

" The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dition, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.
