The imrortauce of connecting remote parts of E.:gland 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 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, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.
The Oxford and Falisbury Direct Railway, in addition to

the benefits which will be conferred upon- the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of commun!cation 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 Ludgershail, 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 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-
mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be
essentially enhanced.

The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
infairly 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, arc thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of Vantage, which, as
well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced isy railway traffic.

It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of tke Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to Landon. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the
same faellity of transit to Landon 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 trom Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers-
hall, to Salisbury, and thence to tke south and western ports and dis-
tricts.

The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com-
pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general
and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry,
landowners, traders, and influential Inhabitants, have reasonable
ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act
for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during
the ensuing session.

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 rear the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
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 trails
for the mineral and manufactering districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South. Wales. This proposed lino doea
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 co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.

I"'lis railway will commence at the important town of Wolver-
hamptt,ll, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cle-
verly, to t..:e manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will
continue throes 11 a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there fait. into other projected lines to all parts of England,
'
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two
miles.
It will afford direct comOunicat
ion between Ludlow, Bridgnorth,
and Wolverhampton, Dudley, ..ke. ; and,
by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway give to those t...
wits and districts the most direct
route for passengers and goods to
and from the Central, North
Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kinh.rimm,
and from which those
towns have hitherto been excluded by ev es 7
project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts
of Herefordshire and
South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Brldotorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
an .f the Clec-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost ot° those neces-
sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cal: le, sheep,
cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also Onber
from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the
mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an
immense traffic.

To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the
utmost importance.
One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of eue of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby
afford to passengers the easist:communlcation to and from the central
parts of the kingdom.

It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the
sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
Shrewsburyf Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction, and
the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has
been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public
suoport. _ _

Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the

of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such ar-
rangements as shall best servo the interests of this Company and the
public, with existing or projected companies, and also to nominate
the first directors of the Company.
Power will be taken under the Act to limit the responsibility of
Shareholders to the amount of their subscription, and to allow four
per cent. interest on the calls.
Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.
No applications for shares can in any case be attended to, unless
reference be made to one of the Provisional Committee, the Solicitors,
