PROSPECTUS.
- • •

This Important line will COlirneiee-ii Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Petworth. Mid-
hurst, Petersfleld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton
Manchester and Oxford Junction.
An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company,
and it is prorosed by means of their projected line, that the
Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger-
ford to Swindon.
From Petersfleld a sho-t branch will be made to Chichester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England
by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Stalforitshire Junction, or
other existing and contemplated lines.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object
to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate
connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac-
turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the Southern coast
and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover.
It is unnecessary to observe on the daily Increasing traffic between
Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to
Rouen, and thence to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means
of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either
from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties
of England.
It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces-
sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of
railway accommodation.
Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capitniiir
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches
thud= as maybe deemed necessary ; also for the pwposes of amal,

gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable.
The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or
narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable.
No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act
shall be obtained.

In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and
to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros:lectuses, with maps
of the line, may be obtained :—London—Messrs. Peppotcorne and
Co., 2, Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury.

ENGINEER—George Remington, Esq.
The title of this line sufficiently and correctly explains the object
of the undertaking.
The Birmingham terminus will be placed in communication with
all 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
pass within a short distance of Sutton Coldfield, and to Lichfield, at
the latter of which places there will be a station in communication
with the projected Walsall lines.
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 of a 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
miles, assuming any of the Pottery lines to have their termini at Col-
with, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand Junction
Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Potteries, the
shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham. It will
also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birmingham and
Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In 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,
and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to 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, W. Arnold Bainbrigge, Esq., Uttoxeter; or at the Offices
of the Company, No. 1, Moorgate, London.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The ins;-ortance et connecting remote parts of E .gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be be exeinlified than by the Line
which is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of !nter-
coarse 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 :rse of Railway front 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 r'alisbury Direst Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will he conferred upon the cation at
large, by preferring a direct line of commurication 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, 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 is some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as
well as Bangerter(' and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced V railway traffic.
It has therettre been determined to commence the proposeill ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd at 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 widish have been named, Hangertord 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,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica
tiou for shares may be made.

This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its im-
portance cannot be questioned, traversing, as it will, a locality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may
be slid, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a
densely-popu'ated neighbourhood, the property around which is open,
flat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction of a
line of railway.
In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes, Kew, Isleworth, Bagshot, Ascot,
Senning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter and the whole of the
south-west of England. It will also afford a facility to reach Hun-
zerford-bridge on the south aide of the river by the Richmond Rail-
way, ay means of a branch from Hounslow to Richmond.
The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are
made, the deposits have been duly paid, the parliamentary contract
signed and completed.

This lino will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that hue crosses tho Trent Valley line.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with
railway advantages.
A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com-
mand other collateral advantages.
There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the
proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
in rendering Groat Grimsby a port of the first importance; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south-
west of Warwick, will he very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham, will be about twenty miles ;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about
six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means
of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will be about 23 miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and lass
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering
purposes.
It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, ix-
It
the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re-
munerative.
Powers for allmvance of interest at four per cent. en the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.

Company's Offices, 19, Great George-street, Westminster,
Wednesday, October 1, 1845.

The Committee of Management IL;ve much pleasure in announcing
that an arrangement has been concluded with the Directors of the
Midland Railway, whereby that Company take a proportion of Stock
• in the Manchester and Southampton line, and give their zealous sup-
port to the undertaking, and that George Hudson, Esq., M.P. (the
Chairman), John Ellis, Esq. (the Deputy-Cha'rman), John Wadding-
ham, Samuel Beale, Abel Peyton, and Georg, Byng Paget, Esqrs.,
members of the Midlands Board, join the Direction of the Company.
The Committee feel assured that in thus identifying their interests
with those with which the Manchester and Southampton Railway
cornea Into most immediate connexion, they are placing the Company
In a position most conducive to present success, and laying the foun•
dation of those advantages to the public which the railway was de-
signed to confer.

JAMES WALKINSHAW, Deputy-Chairman.

MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON
RAILWAY.

The COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT give notice, that they
have completed the allotment of shares, and that the usual letters
will forthwith be issued. The task of deciding upon claims of ex-
traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painful ;
but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence
in the allotment to applicants locally interested, and to such parties
aa from their position in the railway community, can render bene-
ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the inevitable ex.
elusion of vast numbers of applicants to whose claims, under otltr
circumstances, they would most willingly have attended.
The Committee have the pleasurable c uty of recording the fact,
that by every town on the line between Cheltenham and South-
ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester,
Stockbridge, Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most
favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and
active assistance tendered; and that from the town of Manchester
a highly influential petition of merchants and traders will convey
to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposed railway.
It is, at the same time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in
the midst of these active demonstrations 111 favour of the under-
taking, the engineering preparations, relating as well to the line
from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to
Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the
surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justifies the announce-
ment that the project will be brought before Parliament in a way sa-

tisfactory to the subscribers.
As regards the additional capital required for the extension line to
Poole, the Committee will be prepared to announce the mode in which
it w ill he raised so soon as importantnegotiatlons, now on foot, shall
be concluded

This important line, cominnentehinegpaotptuhioeut.ennnutinnttlisraocftutrhinegMtaon‘c,hneoS;
Manches-
ter and Sheffield Railway, l
Sheffield, will proceed, in a direct course, by or through Hope,
g , Ci.stleton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, and Whaley (the great
Mtrsalle_poae
rt of the Potteries), to the terminus of the Manchester and
Macclesfield Railway, at Macclesfield, the total length of the line
being nearly thirty miles.
The importance of connecting these termini would, alane, be suffi-
cient to ensure full support to the present undertaking, from the
dense population, manufacturing influence, and general traffic of the
towns in question ; but when it is considered that this connexion, or
junction, stands in the very centre of the entire railway system of
England, and that it will complete the chain of railway communi-
cation and transit between the river Humber, the towns of Sheffield
and Macclesfield, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Salt Wiches of
Cheshire, the city of Chester, the docks of Liverpool and Birkenhead,
Bangor Ferry, and the harbour of Holyhead, the advantages are too
manifest to be for a moment questioned.
The surveys are now in progress, and will be 'completed without
delay, in order to go to Parliament at the ensuing session.
In the allotment of shares, the applications from parties resident
on the line will be preferred.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made at the offices of
the Company's Solicitors, Messrs. Cattarns and Fry, 62, Mark-lane,
London, and G. A. Colman, Esq., 2, New Inn, Strand ; and of the under-
