PROSPECTUS.
TAP, object of this Company is to construct a direct and continuous
ttn. s -of railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham through
or thleach, Burford, and Witney, to Oxford, and thence, by Theme,
T A form a junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at
oak :e opening the shortest route from those tOwns and the surround-
Int; districts to the Metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and
B%etchley, and other lines in connexion th,rewith, to Bedford, Cam-
bridge, Norwich, and the whole of the eastern side of the kingdom.
The undertaking is promoted by parties locally Interested in the
district through which the line will pass, in conjunction with the
shareholders in the Oxfonl, Witney, Cheltenham, and Gloucester
IndependcntCompany, w'no introduced a Bill into Parliament during
the session which has just closed, for making the line between Ox-
ford and Cheltenharr,, which failed upon technical objections only.
It will be the anicir,us desire of the committee to consult the wishes
of the Inhabitants as to the terminus, and the mode of approachiog
the town of ClicAtenham.
A. large pert ion of the capital will be subscribed by the London and
North-Weste
,ru Railway Company, who have also agreed to lease the
line in PerP'Aulty, at a rent equal to tour pounds ten shilling per cent.
upon the o'Jt/ay, with an equal division of surplus profits.
This line will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and Lon-
don to I'JO miles, being a saving of 22 miles as compared with the
present mute. and the distance between Oxford and London will
be sty,)rtet• than by the Great I:festern Railway, without taking into
accorant the saving in time arising from the more convenient posi-
tion ref the London termiraM at Euston-square as compared with Pad-
ding,ton, which, to parties going to the City and most parts of the me-
trcrP°lls, may be com adered as nearly equal to ten miles of railway
travelling. An un'jvoken narrow gauge communication will also be
effected, by meal-A1 of this line, between the docks and port of Londen
and those of GIC
a
an object of r,„iocester, and there is no doubt eventually with Bristol,an
nsiderable commercial importance. Worcester, and
the Importan% district of which it forms the centre, will also be brought by this line within the same distance of Loudon as by any other lines
sanctioned by Parliament.
It hay, fig been decided by Parliament that (with some exceptions,
not app' .ying to the present case) all new lines of railway shall here-
after > As constructed on the narrow gauge, it is obvious that the
trad4' J of the districts accommodated by the proposed line will be
best, developed by a company in connexion with the existing narrow
gauge lines, giving, at the same time, to the public the advantages of
that competition whicti 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
Company, 29, Secretary, at the Temporary Offices of the
of shares a pre (,'seat George-street, Westminster. In the allotment
having local ference will be given to parties resident on the line, or
aterest.

EARLY FROST.—We have had several frosty • nights
during the present week, and same hope is entertained that
this change in the weather will check the. progress in the
potato disease; at all events it will contribute essentially
to harden and dry the grain, after the heavy rains of last
week, both in the Aelda and in the du/oh—Loh Jlercwy.
