This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near' Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Itolsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne

Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
13 miles.
The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4 4 miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9)4
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), ou the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Nortnern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Ilighgate and Haml,
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property ar.d large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and dally-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.
The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Earnat, too,
will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the Investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others:-
1.- From the conveyance of passengers. •
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievc.ii, ev
The Committee cf risesaefnert rwcrve to themselves the power
of adopting, upon t his line, locomotive Nit er, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expellent.

This line is intended to commence at the Port of Wisbech, by a
junction with the line of railway now , forming from Lynn, and pro-
ceed by Thorney to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of
the London 'and Birmingham Rail Way to Northampton, and the
Peterborough and Syston branch of the Midland Counties Railway,
forming a through line from Yarmouth, Norwich, Dereham, Swaff-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of
England. The entire distance being completed In about 18 miles.
The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen by an inspection of the snap, when the following
points will be self-evident.
1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham, Staffordshire, find the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manufacturing and
mineral districts of the ;Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wit-
beds, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica-
Bon will bo opened between the port of Wished', and the punts of
Southamfdon,lll t Iloncester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will unite the Birmingham and Midland Countic-s
system of railway with those of Norfolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yarmouth.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The imrortauce of connecting remote parts of E..gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be be'ter exeinFlified 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-east of
the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxortl, continuing to that city the
course 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 Salisbury 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 borough of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Ilun,gerford, 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 opport muffles of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus Sevehiy crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Wautage, which, as
well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced loy 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 Stcrentom thus giving to Abingd n a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Vantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and
a perfect line of road from the north•easlern counties will, by a junc-
tion with the projection trout Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Ifungeriord 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 front Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street.

and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway,
with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales.
