This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.

The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Ilighwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne

Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
Blackwall, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston.square, by this route, will be
15 miles.

The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be .04 miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 934
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent -street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Nortnern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% mires.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp-
stead Hill; and the branch fl•o:n the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property ar_d large
collections of houses and buildings.

Upon the completion of this railway-, a large and dally-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.

The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.

An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others:-
1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both Inland and seaborne fuel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievc, eyo.
The Committee c at:igen:mat reuerve to themselves the power
of adopting, upon t his line, locomotive pelt er, er Prosser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

This line is intended to commence at the Port of Wisbech, by a
junction with the line of railway now forming front Lynn, and pro-
ceed by Thorney to Peterborough, there uniting with the branch of
the London anti Birmingham Railway to Northampton, and the
Peterlxwou
gh and Syston branch' of the Midland Counties Railway,
lbrming a through line from Yarmouth, -.Norwich, Dercham, Swaff-
ham, Lynn, and Wisbech, to .Northampton, Birmingham, Derby,
Nottingham, and the whole of the northern and western parts of
England. The entire distance being 'completed in about IC miles.
The importance of this railway, though only 18 miles in length,
will be at once seen by an inspection of the map, when the following
points will be self-evident
1. That the port of Wisbech is the nearest sea-port for Birming-
ham, Staffordshire, and the Midland districts of England.
2. That this line will open the whole of the manutacturing and
miner..l distrkts of the Midland Counties and the Potteries to Wis-
bech, the nearest port for Belgium, Holland, Germany-, and the nor-
thern States of Europe.
3. That by the formation of this line a direct railway ommunica-
Bon will be opened between the port of Wished', and the ports of
Southampton, Bristol, Gloucester, and Liverpool.
4. That this line will mute the Birmingham and Midland Counties
system of railway with those o: Norfolk, communicating with Nor-
wich and Yara.outh.

Application for shares (which must in all cases be to the usual limn,
and accompanied by a refereme to a bank( r or to a member of the

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The inrortance or connecting remote parts of E gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be beater exenapfled than by the Line
which is how proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the puhlic 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; anti the
proposed Line from Cambridge to arorcl, continuing to that city the
co.:rye of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a coimplete 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 Collll.llun 'eat ion be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borouth of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Iltingerford, and Ludgershall, anti
the adjacent villages, an important railway acconianxlation, 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 sevet.ly crippled. The same remark
applies iu some degree to the market town of Wautage, 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 propose& ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingd it 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 troin Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through the towns which have been named, liungertord and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to time south anti 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 Conitnlttee, will very shortly
be published. In the meantime, further information may be ob-
tained from Nessrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, iiloorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applies
tiou for shares may be made.
