The importance of connecting remote parts of E g land by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be be*ter exemplified than by the Line
which is how pioposed 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 Oxford, continuing to that city the
co•irse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a corup!ete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.

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 boromh of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Hungerford, 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 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 Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by 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 junc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Hungerford 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 frOm Messrs. Ehnslie and -Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica-
tion for shares may be made.

This railway is Intended to commence at the east part of the city
of Exeter, neat St. Sidwells, and after passing through Topshant,
with a fork at Woodbury by Lympstone to Exmouth, will proceed, in
an easterly direction, towards Sidmonth, and thence, near ColYton,
Beer, Seaton, Axmouth, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, to Bridport.
At Bridport the line will divide, taking the course directs Dor-
chester, to join the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, d the
other, passing near Bridport harbour and Abbotsbury to Weymouth.
At Exeter. junctions will be formed with the Bristol and Exeter and
North Devon Railways, and at Exmouth with the South Devon, by
means of their steam ferry, thus ellak•ng the most direct route to
Plymouth from London. Also at Dorchester and as
Weymouth
wit will
be connected with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, as ell
with the Dorchester and Southampton at Dorchester.
It will be seen, on reference to the map, that by forming a junc-
tion with the lines of coast railway that have already been con-
structed or commenced from Exeter westward, and from Dorchester
eastward, and by following the cook as nearly as is practicable be-
tween its termini, this line will effectually complete a railway com-
munication from Doyer to the Land's End, an undertaking in itself
of great national importance, and likely to meet with the cordial sup-
port of the Government.
In fixing the course which this Railway will take, it has been the
carefid consideration of the Promoters to project only such a Line as
will afford the greatest facility of communication to the populous and
important towns and fashionable watering places which are situated
on And near that part of the Coast which this Railway is particu-
larly meant to accommodate ; whilst, at the same ti's, the Agri-
cultural, Manufacturing, and Commercial Interests of this part of
the Kingdom have been equally studied.
This Line will
_also open such additional means of communication
to the Port of Weymouth, the large Manufacturing Town and Har-
bour of Bridport, and the Harbour of Lyme Regis, as must even-
tually replace them in that high position, when compared with the
other Ports of the Kingdom, which they formerly held. The Water-
ing Places of Exmouth, Budleigh-Salterton, Sidmouth, Channouth,
Lyme-Regis, Wei mouth, &c., will be thus thrown open to every part
of England and Wales, and accommodated with that facility of ac-
cess which they alone require to place them on an equal position
wills other favourite places of resort, for which the picturesque In-
land and bold Coast-Scenery of Devonshire and Dorsetshire is pre-
eminently proverbial, and justly entitles them to hold.
The following extract from the Report of the Select Committee of
the House of Lords on the " Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way," made on tile 18th of June, 1845, will show the sense enter-
tained by that body of the importance of a line of railway in the di-
rection proposed by the present Company :—" In masking their re-
port, the Committee feel it their duty to state that the great diffi-
culty with them, in deciding on the Bill referred to them, had arisen
flrom the fear they entertained whether, in allowing the Great
Western Railway to come down to the sea at Weymouth, or even be-
low Yeovil, they might not be creating a difficulty as to making a
railway in the most desirable manner to Falmouth, the most westerly
port in the Channel."
The great importance of this railway may be further estimated,
from a consideration of the fact that the local population which would
be benefited by its construction exceeds two hundred thousand
persons.
And also that Weymouth, which will be one of the termini of the
line, is boot to become a great National Harbour of Refuge and
Packet-station, ky the construction of a breakwater in Portland
Roads, in accordance with the recommendation of the Government
Commissioners,. for which purpose a grant was made during the last
session of Parliament for commencing the works. The additional
population and traffic, which will thus be attracted to this port, will
be very considerable.
A preliminary survey has been made, and there are no peculiar
engineering difficulties, The length of the main line, from Exeter to
Dorchester, will be about fifty-two miles; anal of the Forks, or exten-
sions, to Weymouth, and Exmouth, about sixteen miles ; making, in
the whole, sixty-eight miles of railway.
The sentiments of the landowners are favourable to the construc-
tion of a railway calculated, as this is, very greatly
to benefit their
properties, and in the allotment of shares preference will be given
to the applications of persons locally interested.
Estimates of the traffic have been carefully prepared by the pro-
moters of the line, from which it is evident that an ample re-
turn will be obtained for the investment of capital in the undertak-
ing. More detailed traffic tables will, however, be forthwith com-
piled, as required by the Committees of both Houses of Parliament.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
nterest at 4/. per cent. on the amount of deposit and calls from the
passing of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability
of Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions.

The above Company formed by an amalgamation of the Notting-
ham,:Erewash Valley, Amber Gate, and Manchester, the Nottingham,
Vale of Relvoir, and Grantham, and the Nottingham and Boston
Railways, *is intended to carry out the original object of those Com-
patdes with an extension to Spalding. The Directors have the satis-
faction to state that by arrangements now made, this Company will
have the powerful aid and hearty co-operation of the Manchest r,
Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Junction Railway Conipany, the
Lynn and Ely Railway Company, and the Lynn and Dereham Rail-
way Company. The Committee congratulate the Shareholders upon
this accession, which while it affords a mutually beneficial interchange
of traffic and a facility in carrying out the objects of this undertaking,
insures that unity of interest which is the best guarantee of perma-
nent succes.
They have also effected an amalgamation of interests with the
canals in the district, upon terms not only beneficial to the Share-
holders of this Company in a pecuniary point of view, but upon
such as will secure to this Company the influence of nearly
every nobleman and gentleman through whose property the line
will pass.
The treaty which has been pending with the Midland Railway,
the Directors are happy to state, will shortly be satisfactorily
concluded upon terms, which they feel assured, will receive the
full approbation of the Shareholders of this Company.
The Directors are now in a position to go to Parliament as a
united and most influential body, for the purpose of making a
direct and integral line of Railway from the terminus of the Man-
chester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Railway at Amber
Gate, by Nottingham and Grantham to Boston and Spalding. At
Spalding it is proposed ti form a junction with the line of the Lynn
and Ely Company p: ojected from Wisbeach to Spalding.
Thus the scheme as now developed becomes one of a national cha-
racter—it effects, by the most desirable practical route, the junction
of Boston, Spalding, Lynn, Wisbeach, Norwich, Great Yarmouth,
and the whole of the eastern and south-eastern part of the kingdom
with Liverpool, Manchester, and the great manufacturing districts of
Lancashire and Cheshire, and the great coal and iron districts of
Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Staffordshire.
The town and environs of Nottingham alone contain a population
of upwards of 100,000 persons, extensively employed in the cotton,
silk, and lace manufacture ; and this line, by its connexion with the
proposed Manchester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midlands Junction Rail-
way, will reduce the distance upwards of 70 miles from that impor-
tant town to Manchester and Liverpool, as compared with existing
routes; and will bring the eastern parts of Lincolnshire and Norfolk
within a few hours journey of those hives of industry and sources of
wealth.
The line will pass through the extensive Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire Coal-field, and by its junction with the Midlands Railway
at Amber Gate, and its contiguity to the limestone and gritstone
quarries of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, will afford an unlimited
quantity of coal, lime, and building stone to districts hitherto only
partially and expensively supplied with those important articles.
By the cheap and expeditious transit provided by this line, coal
will be reduced to at least one-half the average price at which it is
usually sold in Lincolnshire, and when that traffic is fully developed,
the income to be derived to the Company, and the benfit conferred
on the public, will be immense. Boston and Spalding, and the
immediate country connected with those important Worms, are
situated in the richest productive districts in the kingdom. The corn
and cattle are consumed in the large manufacturing towns in the
mnidland and western counties, and the carriage of these to the con-
suming districts will alone furnish a constant and certain source of
revenue.
A very considerable amount of the vast staple produce of Notting-
haul, Derby, Loughborough, Leicester, and the neighbourhood, which
is exported to Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and all other
parts of the Baltic, is now conveyed by a circuitous and expensive

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), in the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eccleshall, Olney, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates, Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Madeley, and
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale ; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rusbbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-geld, to a depot proposed to be formed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of gouth Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conveyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into Montgomeryshire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway communication thus opened between the Shropshire
eoal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
any Llanidlues, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those p:?Lees, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon wattr power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ stall, and to extend their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witnecs the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the wills frotil 411 inSulliciency of water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now Incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime,idona from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it direct into the igiert of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with OW " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sitefileldi rPrk and Hull, and
Swilllbta and South Wales.
As a junction line alone (connecting as it will such important rail-
ways), s large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obylous That g sufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the p.mpunt of
capital required to be embarked.
The line, which will not interfere with an property of an ormiT
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles In length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.
Such important local co-operation has been secured, that no oppo-
sition is anticipated or can be sustained against the measure.
The liability of the Sharel.e4flere wul be limited, by the Act, to the
amount of their subscription to the eapttal stock ; and power will be
applied for to allow interest at the rate of &air por PPPt per annum
on tits gplount of the deposit, and upon the flintier calls, front tbp
of the line; and the Brat
