PROSPECTUS.
• • • -- -

The objects Intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are-
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and rive
metropolis.
2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the Important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 5u miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, Including that of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
Front Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole bf
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southern and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im-
portant and Increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton.
The entice district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only t• the west but
also to London. _

.....
At Kette•ing this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
From ihe singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference ito the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greate? portion of the lino ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line arc favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great Grimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.
Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. reppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

number held in the Rosamel Company) to parties presenting the
certificates of that Company, and upon signing the proper form of

yrceomnofetrered upon intermediate towns
parts of England by rail-
ways,and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified than by the line
which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
nl
iirigtrhtacnacdevaonftag
now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbury
advantages tli e connectingr a
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 Oxford, continuing to that city the
cw.:rse of railway from 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 t alisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting direct line of communication be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Idungerford, 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
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 in some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as
well as Bungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits,
and advantages produced Hy 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 afforded to that place ; and
a perfect line of road from the north-eastern counties will, by a jute-
tion with the projection tram Cambridge to Oxford, he produced,
through the towns which have been named, Idungerford and Ludgers-
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 Futricient time to enable tha Company to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session ; end the promoters having received general
aril most. satKactory a,sarinites of supriort Irons the local gentry,
lamlowiteN, traders, aryl infinclitii'.i inhabitants, have reasonable
iiToiind to anticipate the unabstt =fed passing of the necessary Act
for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during
the ensuing session.

This Company has been farmed for the purpose of opening a line of
railway communlcatio-e. between Calais and Bruges, passing through
important districts of France and Belgium containing a population of
above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State
Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to
the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east
of the French frontier. _ _

In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it
may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will
reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying
twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum-
stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac-
ticable to make the journey with ease in one day, and at two-thirds
of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage
will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene-
rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis-
agreeable, and often attended wirh serious emsequenees.
It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the
passenger traffic between the two capitals, London and Brussels, to-
gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp,
and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im-
portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these
circumstances, drawn into this channel ; and another important ad-
vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be
found in the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian
mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend,i
at a very considerable expense, and with much less:certainty and ex-
pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles,
and usually made in two hours.
The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows :
From 50,090 passengers, who, according to the recent re- • •:
turns from Ostend and Antwerp, annually visit the conti-
nent and return by this route, say, from each, on
rage, 10s. each way £SO 000
For the transport of mails from the respective Govern' 10.31 .10,600
Local traffic in goods and passengers .....• • ... •...i.!••••.' 50,000
-k
£llO,OOO
Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated at' •••, , • 30,000

£BO,OOO

Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with
every prospect of a considerable increase annually in the traffic, as
has been by experience proved to be the result on all the other lines
in operation in Belgium, as well as other countries.
The projected railroad would pass through a perfectly level tract
of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural
impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels
nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning
of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with
heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco-
nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider-
able item iu working a railway is the supply of coal for the locomo-
tives ; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to
the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty.
This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi-
neer, will he absut sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the
other ; will connect in its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and
Dunkirk. in France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel-
gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and pas-
scugcrs, independent of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing
the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt.
Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported by persons of
the highest influence both In Belgium and France for obtaining the
consent of the Belgian and French Governments to the above line ;
and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government
to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important
capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each
other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a
continuous line of railway round the coast, little doubt is entertained
by the Directors in Belgium, France, and England, of such applications
proving successful.
In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits
will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not
exceeding five shillings.
Application for prospectuses and forms of application may be made
at the Company's offices, and the offices of the solicitors, 5, Basing-
hall-street; and to the following brokers:—
