PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified 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 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-oast of
the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, 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 ,ftlisbury 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 borenuh of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Ilungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they arc 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 want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
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 crippled. The same remark
applies is some degree to the market town of Wantage, 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 proposedli ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd,ut a direct rail-
road to London. By 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 from 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 from Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whelp, at present, applica
tioa for tames may be made.

This line of railway, which is about sixty-five miles In length, is
intended to commence at Uttoxeter (the terminus of the proposed
Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway) and
to proceed to Sheffield and Huddersfield. It will form a direct com-
munication between two of the most import Ant manufacturing and
mining districts in England, viz., South Staffordshire, Huddersfield,
and Sheffield, and Rotherham in Yorkshire ; tHhee'reSfootith, Staffordshireliroeon.

This line will also. open a direct railway communication between

Ireland. And also the most direct communication betweex Leeds
and Southampton. •
The line will pass nearly along the Uttoxeter and Caldon Canal to a
point near Prestwood, in case the canal be purchased by the pro-
moters of this undertaking. It will proceed through EllastOn and
Mayfield to Ashbourne, thence near Dovedale, Buxton, and Clmpel-
en-la-Frith, Woodhead and Holinfirth to Huddersfield, where it win
Join the iluddersfield and Leeds Railway, and so to Thirsk. It will
open new mines, in addition to those already in work, of lead, coal,
iron ore, barytes, and carboniferous and magn4sian limestone on the
route, In addition to forming a direct, speedy. and cheap communica-
tion between the important towns above mentioned.
• Arrangements have been made with other c'ompanies to run into
this line from Sheffield. This company reserves the right to raise
additional capital to extend the line to Leeds. •
Many of the above-mentioned mineral productions are essential to
the mining districts of South Staffordshire and Sheffield. The North
Staffordshire and Derbyshire Limestone is much superior to that of
South Staffordshire in the fluxion of iron (15 Cwt. of the former being
equal-to a ton of the latter), and producing a better quality of ma-
terial. At present, the mode of transit is very circuitous and expen-

by to the Dudley and surrounding
furnaces, when, by this railway, it would be taken in a straight line
to them ; and the Ashbourne, Cromford, Worksworth, and Bakewell
country would have an entirely new trade opened to them. The iron-
stone in the neighbourhood of Sheffield is also becoming very scarce,
and great quantities are introduced from Scotland; the same scarcity
exists in South Staffordshire; and .the route of this line would fur-
nish a cheap and good supply, at present not worked, and without a
market, both north and south. In • addition to these great a.dvan-
tages, a good local market would be opened along the agricultuAl
and other parts of the district at present very badly supplied with
