• PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Canibri4ge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
brined by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactaring districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An: arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
meter, and by means of which the Easterq Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-
lowing ~,liarebrokers, of whonflirogpectuse's, with Indps of the line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.
This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox-
ford; ty pass through the towns of Theme, Prances Risborough,
High Wycombe, and other intermediate places in the counties of
Oxford and Buckingham; and to pass on through Uxbridge to
West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, where it will join the
Great Western Railway.
Front the town of Theme, through which it will pass, a railway
has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre-
sent Aylesbury Junction, form a connection between the proposed
line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are
proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro-
posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be
carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern,
and lastly to the Eastern Counties Railway. Thus the line at pre-
sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced
by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many im-
portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert-
fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of
Maldow. Colchester, and Harwich.
By the connexions formed with other railways, the various im-
portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen-
tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready
access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of
England generally, and this important object being effected by so
Short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan-
tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of
passengers. _ . _

One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with
the Landon and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap
upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present
exorbitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be
very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of
profit to the line.

Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England ; and the com-
municating medium with that towN and the agricultural districts of
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties,
must secure a large remunerating traffic. .

At West Drayton, where tills line will terminate, the Great
Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis,
the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, In
a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed
London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the
south Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton
and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will he directly
connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon-
Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover ; and, indeed, with
the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis-
tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of
London.

But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway
above alluded to, a most important object will be attained, namely,
a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis,
which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic from the one
place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the
Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be
shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re-
garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces-
ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not
only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and
various railways to which it forms a communication.

Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe-
cially as being the seat of one of our principal Universities, and con-
taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished
with a good railway communication, both with London and with
the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would
embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the
present, there is every reason to believe the business done on it
will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital
invested.

A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as
it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing,
within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about
180,000 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccoimmodated
with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country,' being
chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cnitivated and ;produc-
tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market
towns in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable.
There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con-
structions along this line, the surface is comparatively level, and the
geological formation favourable ; the expense will be small compared
wills that of many others, and the greatest portion of the line does
not approximate any ornamental or residential property.
The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per
cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking,
And no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Parties locally interested, and shareholders in the Great Western,
the Aylesbury, and Theme Railway, and other proposed Rees in
conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants
for shares to this undertaking.
Applications for Shares on the printed forms, to be made to the
Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local
Agents; or to Richard llalz,hton Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4,

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters ci e
Influenced no less by a conviction of its Importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importancefn
affording a direct communication between the two great naval and
Military arsenals of Great Britain—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two terminhat
Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica-
tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London.bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best positiou
for a London terminus fbrmerchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway inkuded to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Iledhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London-
bridge.

In its courFe to Portsmouth it will pass through or. near Reigate,
Nowdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Itudgwlck, Cranley, Altbld,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-grcen, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Aildhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last mentioned
place this projected line will join the Chichestrrand Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
owners, branches are proposed tobe made to Godalming and Peters-
field. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel; and the branch from
Petersfield will join the main line at a point between 3lidhurst and
!lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these branches will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
Ilv this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any lxie hitherto projected betweet
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to•public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

Total distance from London to P0rt5m0uth.......... 73 miles

From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
62 miles.
Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chilgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.

From en inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerbam, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extend over 82 miles.
To the naval and military establishments :of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com-
munication with each ether which, in two hours, or thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of rail Way between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.
The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effec
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass Is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing
within a circle of about ten m les south of the Thames the means
of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of
the City.

It is proposed to have a central terminus In Queen-street, Cheap-
side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele-
phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate
the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap-
ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Camberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, • Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and
Richmond, completing the chain of communication with the South-
Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastern Lice at Croydon.
It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the
enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway,
when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac-
commodation is to be afforded contain a population of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the City.

As this line will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable,
the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways in general,
and it is estimated that it will p4y to the shareholders of the under-
taking a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from
3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enormous traffic in parcels and gco.ls.
A detailed prospectus, with tht names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
time all communications and applications for shares, in the canal
form, may be addressed to R. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary pro tem.
at the temporary office, 18, St. Paul's-churchyard, or to the solicitor
of the'Company, Thomas Parker, Esq., 18, St. Paul's-churchyard,

:SECRETARY (pro teplace.
m)—W. Harrs, Esq.
This railway is proposed to commence at 'Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall elation of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the Rae pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, axd terminate
et ,Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of abont 200,000
persons.

To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the meat direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon,
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in-
crease of 30 per cent, upon the average of the last two years.
The weekly market at Southall is secend in importance to Smith-
field, and it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines from London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, l3rentford, the county-town
of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.

By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all the before•ntentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon. _ _

The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, betweenwhich the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the snap
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will be connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and I'ortsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th
kingdom, avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow, King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern lines; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposed and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persons visiting Hampton-eourt in the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the eounty of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the

This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at! about 16,000/. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the tut-
dert.aking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.

solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts:Galsworthy, and Galsworthy,

should be addressed, et their offices, No. 19, Ely-place, Holborn ;
