This line is intended to commence at the Port of Wisbech, by a
junction with the line of railway, now forming from Lynn, and pro-
ceed by. Thorney to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of
the London and Birmingham Railway to Northampton, and the
Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway,
forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Derehem, Swatl-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts Of
England. The entire distance being completed in about 18 miles.
The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen.by. an inspection of the map, when the following
points will be self-evident
1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sca•port for Binning,-
ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manutheturing and
mineral districts of the Midland Counties and the' Potteries to Wis..
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor.
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunic.t-
tion will be opened between the port cf Wisbech, and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the itirmingbam and Midland Counties
system of railway with those o. Novolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The importance of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be be'ter exemplified than by the Line
which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford amt 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
the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Ox'ord, continuing to that city the
course of Railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a coniplete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.

The Oxford and t-alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of commun'cation be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Vantage, Ilungerford, 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 racility for the interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of Ma
kingdom.

The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to preAs
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 crippledW. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of antage, 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 proposecili ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd.m a direct rail-
road to London. Ity 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 junc-
tion with the projection trom Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Ilungenord and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis-
tricts.

A map of the line, and a statistical report of the whole country
intended to be traversed, is in course of preparation, and with the
names of an influential provisional Committee, will very shortly
be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob-
tained frown Messrs. Elmslio and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applies.
tion for shares may be made.
