PROSPECTUS.
Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Ellsworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, 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 does
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 eb-operation
wife
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
ces;:er, 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, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-
lowing Sharebrekers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.
This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox-
ford ; to pass through the towns of Timm, 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 arid 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 tin-
portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert-
fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of
Maldon, Colchester, 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 towa and the agricultural of
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire,the surrounding districts
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 front the one
place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the
Great Western at Didcut, 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, but to the whole of the country and
various railways to which it forms a communication.
Oxford, celebrated vs a large and splendid city, and more cope-
daily as being the seat of one of our principal Universities, and con-
taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished
ith a good railway commur'cation, both wills 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 six 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-
structions 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 Ilaighton Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4,

Mittee, al)anker, or a solicitor of known respectability.

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, Bantam, Tooting, Mitcham, Wa'worth, Camberwell, Peckham,
Dulwich, Norwood, the Kent-road, Deptford, Greenwich, Black-
heath, Charlton, Woolwich, Wandsworth, Putney, Mortlake, and
Richmond, completing the chain of communication with the South-
western at Wandsworth, and with the London and Brighton and
South-Eastern 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 afforded contain a population of between
seven and eight hundred thousand persons, requiring daily inter-
course with the City.
As this iina will be constructed upon the atmospheric principle,
and the present public roads will be adopted as far as practicable,
the cost will not bear comparison with that of railways in general,
and it is estimated that it will pay to the shareholders of the under-
taking a remunerating profit of not less than 10 per cent., even
reckoning the conveyance of passengers at the lcw rates of from
3d. to 64. for the whole, or any part of the distance, to say nothing
of the enormous traffic in parcels and goads.
A detailed prospectus, with the names of a very influential Com-
mittee, and other officers, will appear in a few days. In the mean-
time all communications and applications for shares, hi the usual
form, may be addressed to R. B. Colley, Esq., the secretary pro tern.
at the temporary office, 18, St. Paul's-churchyard, or to the solicitor,
of the Company, Thomas Parker, Esq., 18, St. raurs-churchyard,
and 25, Spring-gardens. - a

This railway is proposed to commence at Uxbridge, proceeding
then through Heston to Hounslow, there mee
lines to Hounslow from London. Leaving Hounslow the line pro.
coeds through Whitton, Twickenham, Tcddington, and Hampton,
to Kingston, and, crossing the Thames, joins t h

The totes and places through which the line
of about 200,000
diately affects, contain an aggregate population
persons.
To the inhabitants of the important town of Uxbridge, this line
presents the most direct communication with the metropolis
Hil, ad
gdoopn,
t-
ing the old course taken by the coaches, viz., em
the present cir-
ough lin
Hayes, Southall, &c., contrasting favourably with
cuitous route to London, by coach or omnibus to West Dray
esentton, and
thence by the Great Western Railway. With the pr 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 from London
to Hounslow, which this will intersect, Brentibrd, 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
and Epsom, three of the largest
hitherto materially helped to produce the large dividends of the Grand
Junction Canal.
Kiel the present agricultural traffic
By means also of this line, and the Croydon and Epsom line (now
in course of construction), all the before-nsentioned towns and places
are likewise connected with Croydon.
The importance of connecting two such towns m Uxbridge and
is extensive, is too obvious to require comment. A glance at the map
Brantfordmarutto,l,vi.iitshi Kingston,usurr e
will at once show that the communication now proposed is not only
judicious, but, in order to satisfy the requirements of the important
y , Croybetween do:
unrh,
and ropulous district involved, is actually imperative. It will afford
to Uxbridge and the town used ertfordshire north of it,
toothwth which
it will he connected by propew lines, direct transit
Western, Southampton, and Portsmouth Railways, and by the
established lines, southward,to Shoreham, Brighton, Dover,
Ramsgate, and all the sou th 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 proposed 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,
1 that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
ns visiting The average number of perso Hampton-court in the
summer months amounts too bout 18,000 per week.
The supply by the county Kent and western division of 111iddle-
sex of the north and north-vrestern markets with fruit during the
season, wuld, 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 IG,OOO/. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
th of the line will be about 18 miles.

The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the objet
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication witl
pass within

aall the other railways having a station in that town, and will be
brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
Cation in and
toLichfield,
communicationa
with tho projected Walsall lines.t
thea ssl
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots
Bromley to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a
short cutting reach the Tean station on Remington's London and
Manchester line at the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober.
This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several
mile., assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-
ham and Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. Id the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the shortest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
iand the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi-
timate Preference will be given to the landholders on the line.
It is obvious that the projected line will afford an ample return to
the shareholders.
For prospectuses, shares, and every Information, apply to the
solicitors, NV. Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices
of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London.
