Messrs. Hydes and Tymbs,

The line from Worcester, with a branch to tho Severn, is in-
tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on.
Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London
and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been
found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for
public accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to
Oxford is Intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form,
for about twenty miles, a portion of the main lino from Worcester
to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within
a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Euston-square, the intermediate country will
be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side
of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland
and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford
and the south ; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bin.
mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing
Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines.
Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di-
rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson,
who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif-
ficulties.

Estimates of the traffic have been prepared, showing a return
upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the Lon-
don and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity,
which they have agreed t• do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per
annum to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus
profits.
A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the
London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be al.
lotted to parties having local interests, and other applicants.
Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half.
yearly on the deposits and calls, from the time of payment.
Applications for Shares may be made to the Solicitors, or to the
following Sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old
Broad-street; Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street,
London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool ; or Mr. James
Pearson, Birmingham.
FORM OF APPLICATION.

London, and Rugby and Oxford Railway, on the conditions of the
Prospectus, and I agree to take such Shares, and to pay the De-
posit,and sign the Subscribers' Agreement, and Parliamentary
