PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
med by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
Tossing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Ellsworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate wi,l‘.
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed wee:-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed lime from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcestcr, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line (mei,
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be tocured for obtaining the line now proposed.
Art arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
ceser, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed. to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, er to vary the line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.
This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox-
ford ; to pass through the towns of Thame, Princes Risborough,
High Wycombe, and other intermediate places in the counties of
Oxford and Buckingham ; and to pass on through Uxbridge to
West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, where it will join the
Great Western Railway.
From the town of Thame, through which it will pass, a railway
has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre-
sent Aylesbury Junction, form a connection between the proposed
line and the London and Birmingham; while other railways are
proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro-
posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be
carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern,
and lastly to the Eastern Counties Railway. Thus the line at pre-
sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced
by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many im-
portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert-
fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of
Mahloa, Colekester, and Harwich.
By the connexions formed with other railways, the various im-
portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen-
tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready
access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of
England generally, and this important object being effected by so
short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan-
tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of
passengers.
One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with
the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap
upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present
exorbitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be
very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of
profit to the line.
Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England ; and the com-
municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, and the surrounding counties,
must secure a large remunerating traffic.
At West Drayton, where this line will terminate, the Great
Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis,
the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, in
a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed
London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the
South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton
and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will be directly
connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon-
Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover; and, indeed, with
the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis-
tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of
London.
But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway
above alluded to, a most important object will be attained, namely,
a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis,
which cannot fail to secure the' whole of the traffic from the one
place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the
Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be
shortened.twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re-
garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces.
ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not
only towards the metropolis, hut to the whole of the country and
various railways to which it forms a communication.
Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and more espe-
cially es being the seat of one of our principal Universities, and con-
taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished
ss ith a good railway commun'eation, both with London and with
the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would
-embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the
present, there is every reason to believe the business done on it
will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital
invested.
A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as
it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing,
within FAX miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about
180,000 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccommodated
with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country, being
chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and :produc-
tive, a ready and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market
towns in the immediate vicinity will be found very desirable.
There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con-
strucZions along this line, the surface is comparatively level, and the
geological formation favourable ; the expense will be small compared
with that of many others, and the greatest portion of the line does
not approximate any ornamental or residential property.
The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per
cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking,
and no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Parties locally interested, and shareholders in the Great Western,
the Aylesbury, and Thame Railway, and other proposed lines in
conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants
for shares in this undertaking.
Applications for Shares on the printed forms, to be made to the
Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local
Agents; or to Richard Heighten Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4,
Bank Chambers, London.
In all Instances reference must be given to a member of the Com-
mittee, a banker, or a solicitor of known respectability.

The object of this railway is to afford to the inhabitants residing
within a circle of about ten urles south of the Thames the mears
of a safe, frequent, and speedy communication with the heart of
the City.

It is proposed to have a central terminus in Queen-street, Cheap-
side, with a direct line of railway over Southwark-bridge to the Ele-
phant and Castle, and thence by radiating branches to accommodate
the localities of Kennington, Brixton, Streatham, Croydon, Clap-
ham, Balham, Tooting, Mitcham, Walworth, Ctunberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and
Richmon ', completing the chain of communication with the South-
Western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastent Line at Croydon.
It is needless to point out in this preliminary announcement the
enormous passenger traffic which may be expected on this railway,
when it is considered that the portion of the suburbs to which ac-
commodation is to be alibi dell contain a population of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the'City.

As this this will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will he adopted as far as practicable,
the cost will not ikar comparison with that of railways in general,
and it is estimated that it will p'v to the shareholders of the under-
taking a remunerating profit o( not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the low rates of from
3d. to 6d. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enm mous traffic in parcels and goods.
A detailed prospectus, with tho names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
Vme all communications and applications :Or shares, in the usual
form, may be addressed to It. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary pro tern.

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
thence to the Southall station of the Great Western Railway, and
then through Heston to Hounslow, there meeting one of the proposed
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro-
ceeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Teddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins the Kingston station of
the South-Western Railway, whence it will proceed to, Axel terminate
at ,Epsom.
The towns and places through which the line passes, or most imme-
diately affects, contain an aggregate population of, abont 200,000
persons.
To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the most direct communication with the metropolis, adopt-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., through Hillingdon,
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with the present cir-
cuitous route to London,lby coach or omnibus to West Drayton, and
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the present limited
railway accommodation, the corn returns of Uxbridge show an in-
crease of 30 per cent. upon the average of the last two years.
The weekly market at Southall is second in importance to Smith-
field, and it is attended by the graziers and butchers from all parts of
the neighbouring country and the metropolis.
By means of this line, and one of the proposed lines fkom London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentford, the county-town
of Middlesex, and the Thames, will be brought into immediate con-
nexion with 'Uxbridge ; the traffic between the last-named towns has
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all the before-mentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns as Uxbridge and
Brentford with Kingston, Croydon, and Epsom, three of the largest
market-towns in Surrey, betwecOvhich the present agricultural traffic
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
and populous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the towns in Hertfordshire north of it, with which
it will he connected by proposed new lines, direct transit to the Great
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward, to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the south and south-eastern parts of th
kingdom,
avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentford, Hounslow,
King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern lines ; and by
this line. in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other prcposeil and established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court in the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply
by 'the county of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy
country, and will be
capable of construction at about 11,000/, per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the tut-
&staking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.
Application for shares must be made in the annexed form, to the
solicitors of the Company, Messrs. Watts,' G alsworthy, and Galsworthy,
