SECRETARY (pro tem).—P. P. Smith, Esq., Truro
In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House
of Lords (the measure having previously received the sanction of the
Board of Trade, and the approval of the House of Commons), a Orr-
ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed
between Plymouth and Falmouth has been determined upon, and
Mr. Brunel has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom-
mendation.
The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre-
diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which
it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and
central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a
junction should be effected between the Cornwall Railway and North
Devon line; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his
survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com-
munication with Exeter and the North of Devon.
By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a
continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmounth to Ply-
mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct
line by way of Launceston and Crediton to Exeter. From Launces-
ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon
Railway a line through Barnstaple and South Molten to juin the
Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton.
By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall
Railway and the South Devon, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways, the most complete and comprehensive system of railway
communication will be provided for the West of England, giving the
utmost amount of accommodation to all the principal towns and
places in the counties of Cornwall and Devon.
In the county of Cornwall the towns of Penzance, St. Ives, Mara-
zion, Hoyle, Cambome, Redruth, Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, St
Austell, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Liskeard, Launceston
and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trading, and agri-
cultural parishes and districts of the county will have the benefit of
railway communication ; while the ports of St. Ives, Portreath, New
Quay, and Padstow on the north coast, and Mount's Bay, Falmouth,
Mevagissey, Pen tuan,_Cha&NAiibrEOufrczoilcimath:
win mrunec
distances of the main line

In the laying out of the Cornwall Railway advantage will also be
taken of the several local railways already formed or now in course
of construction.

In carrying these objects into effect the Company will have the
most cordial co-operation and support of its associated Companies,
namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and
Gloucester, the South Devon, the North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways.
Considerable progress has already been made in the survey.
INCREASE OF CAPITAL.
In order to effect the suggested Improvements and extension the
capital will be increased by a sum of 600,0001., by the creation of
half-shares of 25/. each, upon which a deposit of 21. 101. will be pay-
able on allotment.

These shares will be issued to the Shareholders in the proportion of
one half share for each share now held by them, provided application
be made by them in the form and manner and within the time
hereinafter specified. In cases where the shares were not originally
allotted to them the parties must be approved of by the Committee.
A portion of the shares will be reserved to meet the requirements of
the various local interests.
INCREASE OF DEPOSITS.
In consequence of the new standing orders of Parliament requiring
a deposit of 101. per cent., instead of 51. per cent., as heretofore, it is
requisite to call for the further payment of 21. per share on the shares
already issued. The Shareholders will therefore be called upon to pay
the flirther sum of 21. per share on the shares respectively held by
them.

All holders of Scrip Certificates or of Bankers' Receipts, are re-
quested to forward the same to the Secretary, on or before Tuesday,
the 30th day of September instant, and to state at the same time their
wishes with respect to new shares by letter in the form below.
All holders of shares not originally allotted to them, failing to
transmit their Scrip Certificates, on or before that day, will forfeit all
benefit of their shares ; and original subscribers falling by the same
day to transmit their Scrip Certificates, or Bankers' Receipts, will
forfeit their right to an additional number of shares.
Any parties wishing to withdraw, will be entitled to receive 20s.
per share, on application to the Bankers, and on giving up their Scrips
011 or before the 30th day of September instant.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The importance of connecting remote parts of England by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exemplified 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 Oxford, continuing to that city the
course of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, esquires
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 communication be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of Englund, will afford to the borough 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 aro 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 kas 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 Ilungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by 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 Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected rallwa.y 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, Hungeriord and Lodgers.
hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke 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. Elmslie and Preston,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica
Um for shares may be made. 47, Moorgate-street,
