The imvortance of connecting remote parts of England by rai,
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exempld than by the line
which is now proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected- lines
now before the purls will make Oxford at the north, and SaliAbury

at the south of the intended railroad, the central points from which
various radii will dii-erge to the north

An important railway accenamodation, of which
the adjacent villaaeg,
the•tgiletfitural drStricts in which they are seated silted in much
need, atici will provide a facility for the interchange of produce be-
commercial population of the
tween the rural, Manufacturing, and
kingdom. Thep rojected line will bring the Cathedral City of hails-
bury into immediate conneXion with, the City and University of
direct communication
Oxford, combining also the advantage. of a
with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the
ecsiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com-
mcleial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be
erc
essentially enhanced.
The want of railway accommodation has .long been felt to press
enfairly up
the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and epportnnities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as
well as Tfungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and Advantages produced by railway traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventnn, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to IVantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be afforded to thir...t place; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties w, by a junc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,

The establishment of the above railway will effect two great
of the metropolis and its
and important objects :—first, the supp.lY
vicinity with coal fully twenty per cent. cheaper than by the pre.
sent mode of transit: secondly, by the exclusion of passenger
traffic to diminish the risk of accidents. The Board of Trade, in
reference to the latter, have in their report upon the subject, laid
great stress on the importance of separating' the passenger from
goods trains ; and the Select Committee on the Coal Trade
recommend that every means of promoting A new supply
of coal should be encouraged. The existing lined from the
north being already crowded to excess with trains of every class,
travelling at velocities varying from fifteen to fifty miles per hour,
and new railways being almost daily projected as feeders to the
great trunk tines, the already prodigious traffic on those lines must
be still further augmented; so that it may be truly assumed,
that the addition thereto of several millions of tons of coals
and goods is out of the question. It, therefore, becomes
manifestly necessary, with a view to public convenience,
and to supply the metropolis and the interinedlzte districts
with coals from the coal fields in the north (from which At present
the greater proportion is supplied) that an independent I:ailwaY,
devoted exclusively to the conveyance of coals and goods at a
moderate and regular speed, should be constructed from Newcas:le
to London. It is, therefore, intended to confine this railway ti.'
carriage of coals and goods only ; and it is ascertained that the
conveyance by railway of large quantities, for long distances, at a
moderate speed, and at comparatively low rates, will be as profitable
as the carriage of passengers at a greater velocity, The actual ex-
perience of the London and Birmingham Railway affords a safe
ground for calculation; the expenses on that line for the year 1844
being 1,472/. p mile; at the same rateper mile, 2,000,000 tens of
coal annually may be arought the entire distance horn Newcastle;
this quantity is about one-half of the present importation from
London, making on the average from 13,000 to 14,000 tons
daily.
The extreme fluctuations to which the price of coal is subject
from irregularity in the supply, dependent as it is on the uncer-
tainty of the winds and weather, has hitherto operated against the
establishment of manufactories on the banks of the Thames. From
the same cause, also, London has, at times narrowly escaped total
darkness, the gas works not being able to obtain their regular
supply of coals. In the course of the last five years the prices of
household coal, on the Coal Exchange, have fluctuated between
14s. 6d. to 275. per ton, and last winter the price rose even to 555.
per ton ; the high prices always occurring at a season when the
scarcity, and consequently increased price of coal, is most distress-
ing to the poor.
The removal of the colliers from the Pool is an important con-
sideration, as it will necessarily render the navigation of the
Thames safer for all other vessels : and it is no valid objection
to this undertaking, that it will supersede, in a great measure
the employment of collier ships, because it is now ascertained, be-
yond all doubt, that coals can be brought to London by railway at
20 per cent less than those sea.borne ; and, therefore, London will
ba supplied from Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and South
Wales, unless the present project, or one offering equal advantages
to the northern coal.owners, in their certain and fast approaching
competition with the Infant collieries, be carried into effect.
In addition to the through traffic, accommodation will be afforded
to the intermediate districts for the conveyance of coals and goods,
which will materially increase the revenue of the Company.
The estimated cost of the line is 5,000,0001, and the traffic, in
coals alone, will give a net return of 10 per cent.
It is proposed to raise the required capital in 200,000 shares of
251. each ; deposit 21. 12s. 6d. per share, the subsequent calls to be
made in the usual way.
The customary clauses will be inserted in the Act, limiting the
liability of the shareholders to the amount of their respective
shares.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be allowed
on all calls between the passing of the Act and the opening of tha

railway,

The Committee of Management, with the view of enabling re-
sponsible parties (desirous to participate in the allotment) tosecure
at least some shares in this great undertaking, will permit the pay-
ment of a preliminary deposit of 10s. 6d. per share previous to ap-
plication being made ; and will guarantee that the parties so paying
shall have shares allotted them, to at least the number upon which
the sum paid by them is a preliminary deposit shall cover the full
deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. They, however, reserve to themselves the
right of limiting this privilege to the extent of 100 shares, if a
larger number should •be applied for, or even of refusing it, in cases
where they may find on inquiry that the applicant is not in their
judgment eligible to be a shareholder; in such cases the deposit
will be immediately returned ; nor will this privilege be extended
beyond the deposition of 100,u00 shares, after which the bankers
of the Company will receive instructions to refuse further preliroi •
nary deposits.
The preliminary deposits must be paid to the bankers of the
Company, who will furnish a receipt for the same. The Com-
mittee caution the public not to negotiate such receip ts, as their
the
undertaking to supply the shares holds good only so far as
applicants, upon their references being examined into, prove re-
spectable and responsible. They particularly request
will that
state each
applicant for shares who avails himself of this privilege ,
in his application; the amount of the deposit he has paid, and the
number of the bankers' receipt.
