The great importance of the above line of railway, not exceeding
64 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at
Ileyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo-
dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame, Bicester,
and many other places at present without railway communication.
It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, amidby the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Laneaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with
the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to 'Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland.
To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving much time and inconvenience.
The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save am
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does,
parks and ornamental property.
It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable products by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex-
pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also tut
immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at.
least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the
London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall bo obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which,
from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to
exceed two years.
The Company reserves the power of forming a branch to Oxford,
if found necessary.

following sharebrokers :—London Mr. W. West, Capel-court ;

ing the residue for future distribution, with a preference to holders
of original shares.
