This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing direct rail-
way communication between the important ports of Ha, Great
Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to effect this desirable object by the construction of
a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, Oak-
ham, Cppingharn, near to Rockingham and Rothwell, and joining
the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough and North-
ampton ; thus forming in connexion with projected lines of railway
from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to Sonth-
ampton, the connecting link, in one uninterrupted chain of railway
communication, from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport,
and Poole, and tire whole of the south-western coast of England.
It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby,
and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northamptonshire, and
part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester,
Bristol, Exeter, and the south and west of England

An inspection of the map will at once show the importance of this
undertaking, whether considered in a local di. national point of view,
forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the
south generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the
adjacent counties, at present without railway accommodation;
wh;lst its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury,
and Cheltenham. the London and Birmingham Railway Companies,
and the projected lines south of Northampton (to which it will form
a most profitable adjunct), must be obvious.
This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected line
from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and Grimsby,
the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to
Lincoln; at Grantham with the Nottingham, Yale of Belyoir, and

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.

This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox-
ford; to pass through the towns of Thame, Pr' nces 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 Mithllesex, where it will join the
Great Western Railway.
From the town of Thame, 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
Maldon, 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 wit 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 London and Birmingham Railway, will he 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 this 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 be 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 Dideot, 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 fro.n 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 mere 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, unaccommodated
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
with 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 Thame Railway, and other proposed tires in
conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants
for shares in 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 Haighton Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4,
Bank Chambers, London.
In all instances refereace must be given to a member of the Com-
mittee, a banker, or a solicitor of known respectability.

By this Company it is proposed to supply railway accommoda-
tion, through an independ cut channel, to all the principal towns in
Buckinghamshire, and to many in the other counties through which
the projected line Is to ran, hitherto destitute of this now indispen-
sable mode of transit.
The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail-
way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro-
spectus as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity,
receiving four per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profit.
From this agreement it must be obvious to every one that the
monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a
principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and
the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment
of the 41. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands.
In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of
the London and Birmingham Company, together with a considerable
portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to
a mere extension of the older cc rnpair , and confers on the latter the
means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse-
quently the profits, of the projected line ; so that the reservation as
to the surplus profits in truth amounts t" nothing.
The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the
London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the
necesiety of a railway communication through the country proposed
to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of their monopoly,
and to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interestesl
the benefits of an independent line, the present Company has been
formed, and has met with the strenuous support of many landed pro.
prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who hare hitherto
withheld their co-operation irom the Buckinghamshire Railway
Company for the reasons enumerated.
Tile line will proceed through or near'to Uxbridge,/ by the Valley
of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wenduver, and thence to Aylesbury,
by Winslow, to Buckingham. i It will take a course from thence
through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to
Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route
hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London.
Applications for shares, in the annexed firm, may be made to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or to the following

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out nes, lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
The communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
earned forward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the llldland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Airewas, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
Ilse, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hun and the mining end
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in thnber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
Tile revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham• and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of kurope ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act Is obtained, and then not beyond the qinount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.

No applications will be attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certill-
catcs, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
fel ted.

Plans and prospectuses, with forms of applications for shares,
may be had of the Solicitors, and of the following Stock and
Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. Wells, Westropp, and Prinsep, 75,
Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans 39, Lothbury ;
