Une linen Reading, in Berkshire—one of the • ost important and
cagidly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and ireterborough Railway
The line will proceed from the tiWestern

wished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued
direct to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a
Junction with the Direct Manchester Railway ; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at
Cough, on the Great Western Railway
The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles
in length, and it has been axertained that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with
- the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth,

Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as It will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, adn
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South 3Ldland
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with

The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will he ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all
calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining an Act
during the ensuing session of Parliament.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscriber;
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directers of the Railways north of the
Thanes of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, au area of 10 acres ofgrousd (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0901.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
to secure within the limits •f their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be
effected by opening the very extensive and valuable space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of London.
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entiro junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and et the same
than afibrd a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London lathe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the metropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
line of railway.
. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the 'greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, therefore, together with the
vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right
to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly
anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. Tkat reunite will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds Of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,403 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now nu-
acco,nmodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:—

way, at 6d. each.. • • ....... ....... •••• • • • £52,523

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 better exemplified than by the line
which is sow proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and 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 south and west of the latter ; and the
proposed line from Cambridge to Oxrord, continuing to that city the
course of railway front the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.
The Oxford and tsalisbury Direct Railway, ii addition to
the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'cation be-
tween tile north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borouvh of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, 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 facility for the interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of
Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication
with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the
ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com-
mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be
essentially enhanced.
The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
anfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and opportunities of competing with the mere
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severe7v crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, am
well as Titingerford 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 Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be Worded to that place ; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a junc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Itungerford and Ledgers-
hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis-
tricts.
The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com-
pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general
and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry,
landowners, traders, and influential inhabitants, have reasonable
ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act
for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during
the ensuing session.
Applications for shares and prospectuses to be made to Messrs.
Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street ; to the Secretary, at the

SPECIAL TRIP ON THE CROYDON
ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.
Yesterday a special trip took place on this line of
railway, preliminary to its opening for public accommo-
ii
lotion, in order to afford the friends of the directors an
opportunity of testing the atmospheric principle of
fropubion.
I% After partaking of a very handsome cold collation
2%
_ • provided by the Company, in the long room at the
London-bridge station, the directors and their friends
left by a special train at five minutes befcre two o'clock,
and arrived at the Dartmouth Arms station in about
- fourteen minutes. The train, consisting of ten carriages,
including the piston carriage, and weighing above 50
—__ tons, was then placed upon the atmospheric tube, and
- instructions ha‘ing been communicated by means of the
electric tele.,Traph to the stationary engines at the Jolly
- Sailors and at Croydon, the carriages were set in motion
at y 'wisely ten minutes past two. The speed on first
leaving the Dartmouth Arms was twelve miles, increas-
ing during the progress to 18, 25, 32, 40, and 50 miles
an hour respectively, dividing the whole dietance of five
miles into six periods. The whole distance was accom-
plished in eight-and-a-half minutes. The average speed
was upwards of 30 miles per hour.
After waiting at the Croydon station about half-an-
hour, the train returned to the Dartmouth Arms, at an
average of 28 miles an hour, the distance being accom-
plished in about ten-and-a-half minute,. It must be re-
collected that this was not so much an axperitnent of
speed as an exhibition of the practicability of the prin-
ciple. After remaining a few minutes at the Dartmouth
Arms the pray returned to London. We could not
help obseraine. the very striking difference in the oscil-
lation of the locomotive train as cemparett with that on
the atmospheric line, the balance being immensely in
favour of the latter.

THE 'THEATRES.
HAYMARKET.
The Lady of Lyons was revived at this theatre last even-
.
- ing, for the dthitt of Helen Faucit and Anderson, who have
- been engaged for twelve nights. As neither of these
- artistes have appeared in London for some time, the public
curiosity was excited, and the house was well filled before
the ri3ing of the curtain. Helen Faucit, who appeared
5% to be all the better for the change of air and change of
scene which she has_ enjoyed in her somewhat lengthened
provincial excursions, acted the part of Pauline as she
alone can act it. She was the original Pauline, and although
many others have attempted the part, and have acted it well,
too, yet none have approached Helen Faucit. Her reception
was a glorious one, and she never acted better than she did
last night. Anderson was the Claude Melnotte. He has
been vastly improved by his practice in America. He has
acquired greater confidence in himself, AO if he gives him--
self fair play, he will become, not only first of the
second-rates, but a first-rate actor. It was evident,
in his acting last night, perhaps too evident,
that he had taken Macready for his model, but on the whole,
his Claude Melnotte is superior to Macready's—there is more
energy, more improvisation, if we may be allowed the
term, in his acting, than in Macready's. In the acting of
Macready it is evident, painfully evident, that every atti-
tude, every intonation, is the result, not only of study, but of
almost calculation--he has not yet attained the highest reach
of art, the ars celure artem. Now, with Anderson, the ef-
fects seem more the result of the inspiration of the moment;
they burst more suddenly upon the audience, and appear to be
less the result of calculation ; besides, his youthful appearance
gives him a great advantage over his elder competitor. The play
was very well cast as regards the other characters, and Mr.
Stuart, who appeared as Beauseant, in consequence of the
illness of Howe, made a great deal of a very mediocre part.
Anderson and Helen Faucit were called for at the conclusion,
•eceived with loud applause.

AD ELPILL
An operatic, romantic, magical, semi-burlesque Terpsi-
chorean burletta, in two acts, by Charles Selby (we like
to be accurate in these matters, and therefore we quote from
the playbill), 'yclept Taming a Tarter, or Magic and Ma-
zourhaphobia, founded on the grand ballet spectacle of Le
Diable a Quatre, which is nightly drawing crowds to the
Academie Royale, at Paris, was produced here last evening
with the most triumphant success. It is at all threes a
difficult task to give the plot of a ballet, and when that
ballet is semi-burle;que, the difficulty is greatly increas,,d.
We are, however, in the pr•:sentiustance, relievedfrom our ditli-
cul ty,bnause, although this ha let is borrowed from the French,
it. is. after all, but a payingus back our own, for Le Diable a
Quatre is only a ballet version of the old English story
of Jobson the cobbler, and his wife Nelly ; and in this in-
stance Wright is the Jobson, here called Mazourki, and
transformed from a cobbler to a basket-maker, and his wife is
Madame Celeste. The great lord with a termagant wife is en-
acted by Mr. Braid, and the termagant 'lady herself finds an
excellent representative in Miss Woolgar. The change of
wives is brought about by the instrumentality of a magician,
who is aided by certain fairies; and this machinery enables
the adapter to introduce several pretty dances and some
beautiful scenic effects. As a spectacle it is magnificent.
The music by Adolphe Adam is pretty and appropriate.
The costumes are magnificent; and Wright and Munyard,
Madame Celeste and Miss Woolgar, aided by Paul Bedford,
act and dance athilirably. Mr. Selby himself, too, as a
maitre-de-ballet, contributes his quota of burlesque, and, in
getting up the piece, he has managed to amalgamate his fun
and his f►nery it; such judicious propartiow, that lie has pro-
duced a very laughable farce and a very splendid spectacle
at one and the same time. The house was crowded to suffo-
cation.

LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—Great
numbers of the labourers' ho have been eptployed on this
railway, especially at Shap and its vicinity, are leaving for
the. Caledonian. A great cry for workmen having been
raised, they anticipate high wages will be given. Saturday
last was the monthly pay-day, and for some miles on each
side of the Shap not a dozen men have resumed their work;
some disputes between the sub-contractors and the labourers
having taken place, the 6eparture of many of the labourers
for the Caledonian has been delayed in consequence; and
during the past week drunken brawls, fights, and scenes of
the most riotous description have been hourly occurring.—

[AnvEaTisEmENT.]—A. CURE FOR ALL BILIOUS
COMPLAINTS SY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.— A destructive blue pill
composed of calomel, taken at night, and followed by a drastic
black draught the next morning, seems to be the favourite re-
medy for bilious complaints, when poison in fmall quantities is
scarcely less injurious. For all liver, stomach, and bilious com-
plaints, let the patient take Holloway's admirable pills, a pure
herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or
spirits, nor eat of fruits or vegetables. By this course he will not
only effectually cure himself, but will also feel himself younger
and better in health than for years before. To be had at pro-
fessor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London, and of
all medicinevenders throughout the civilized world.
THE HARVEST.—Though the weather has not
been uniformly favourable during the present week, we have
had several fine harvest days, and a good deal of the corn
that was in stock in the fields in this and the neighbouring
counties has been secured—,we fear, not in very good condi-
tion, but we hope not essentially damaged. ft would pro-
bably :not be an over-estimate to say, that not leis than a
tenth of the corn grown north of the Humber is yet exposed
to the hazards of the weather, so that the deficiency already
ascertained to exist in the harvest may be stiil further in-
creased. Beans would also suffer from wet weather. Potato
gathering for the winter supply will soon be general should
the weather, on the other hand, be dry ; at all events, it
cannot safely be delayed beyond the Ist of November. The
promise of this root in Yorkshire and Lancashire is still
good. It is not improbable, from the result of observations
which have been made, that the disease will be found most
extensive on ill-drained soils.—Leeds Mercury.
GLASGOW PIG-IRON TRADE.—During the past
week, we have not had so much excitement in this trade as
in the course of the week prior. The market of lat 3 has
been operated on mercurially, according to the state of the
weather. This is owing to almost all the large transac-
tions at present reported being speculative, in anticipation
of an extensive demand, based, however, in a great mea-
sure, on the result of the harvest being favourable. October
9th, the market heavy—no sales—nominally 95a. cash.
10th, sales to-day at 955, but closed heavy. 11th, the
market firmer, sales at 925. 6d.; buyers at thii, but w
sellers. 13th, few. sales to-day; sellers A froon t. to
955., but few buyers. Saks made thunders a :ios. 3 nis.
14th, sellers at 925. fid. ; but we do not hear of any trans-
actions above 925. We are aware that some, dealers are open
to buy largely at advanced prices on time—say four pr six
months' bills ; but we quote monied transactions. The
price this day is 925., nett cash,—Gigs National.
