The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communicatiot
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birmingham
and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means of ac-
cess to the metropolis, and connecting them also with Blrminghan•
and the north-west of England, with the eastern lines of railway.
with Oxford and the south, and with Worcester and Wales.

The main line will communicate from the London and firming
ham Railway, near Harrow, and, passing to the north of Uxbridge:
will proceed up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amershain and Chesham.
to Missenden and Wendover, and thence to Aylesbury, from whicl:
place it will extend to Buckingham, and, approaching Brackley, will
terminate by a junction with the proposed Wanvickshire and London
Railway, near Banbury. In connexion with this part of the line, it
is proposed to improve the communication between Aylesbury au •
London by taking a direct line from Aylesbury to Tring.
In addition to the line above described, it is intended also to con
struct a railway from the station of the London and Birmingham
Railway, at Bletchley, through Bicester, to Oxfoi d. From Illetchles
to Bedford a railway is in course of construction by the Bedford and
London and Birmingham Company, and from Redford communica•
tions eastward are proposed.

The proposed Buckingham and London and Birmingham Railway
Company is amalgamated with this Company.
Accurate surveys of the country have been taken by Mr. Robert
Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difilcu ty
of importance presents Itself.
The undertaking has already received the sanction end support
a very large proportion of the nobility, gentry, and proprietors
land, through or near whose property it is intended to pass.
It is proposed that these lines shnuld be made witl the co-opera-
tion and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company, under a lease in per; etuity, at four
per cent. per annum on the outlay, with an equal division of the sur.

'The inu ortance 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 exemplified than by the line
,ellich is Low proposed to form a short and direct channel of !titer-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the public will make Oxford at the north, and Salisbary
at the south of the intended railroad the central points from which
various radii will diverge to the northwest, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the
proposed line from Cambridge to Orford, continuing to that city the
co are 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 Oxfbrd 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 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, manutacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the City and University of
Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication
with the sister University of Cambridge ; thus strengthening the
ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com-
mecial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be

It has therefore been determined to Commence the proposed line at
