The Importance ot 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 northwest, 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 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.
Tke Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, its addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of communication be-
tween the nortk-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 N-,illages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in mach
need, and 1011 pros lele a facility for the Interchange of produce be-
tween the rural, rnan:lfacturing' and commercial population of the
kingdom. The projectet! line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury Into immediate con,•lexion with the City and University of
Oxford, combining also the ..,dvantage of a direct communication
with the sister University of
s(lambridge ; thus strengthening the
ecclesiastical and academical relat.'"ffl of the whole, whilst the com-
mercial prosperity of the two term..,etai pities must of necessity be
essentially enhanced.
The want of railway accommodation has ► been felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the impoirtant and .hriving town of
Abingdon. Their means and opportunities , of competing .yith the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already providel 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 Hungerford and Ludgershall, chins & Aare of the profits
and advantages produced by railway trail*.
It has therefore been determined to core mence the proposed line at
Oxford, anti to proceed through Abingdon to the statiO,3 of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be allerded 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, :Hungerford and Ludgers-
hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south as id western ports and dis-
tricts.

This railway is projected to form a direct communicotiou between
Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Lichfield
and itotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable
nolghbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more alediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth. Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towus of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover ; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of tile shortest and most rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete.

The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated
by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfield
Maresfield, Frampfleld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham,Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Euxted, Rotherfield,
Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfleld, Ashurst.
The- existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile constrac-
thou, and easy gradients.
The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which
they have pledged their support.

The usual power will belriken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing
of the ♦ct until the completion of the line, and the liability of the
shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management
for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and
to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses
incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and
sections to be submitted to Parliament.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby
given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad-
ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or
compaoies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.
Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual
form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton ;
to W. B. James, Esq., London; to W. P. Kell, Esq., Lewes ; to
Robert Foreman, Esq., Toubridge Wells ; and to F. H. Nalder, Esq.,
Secretary, 83, Basingliall-street; and to the following Stockbrokers :
Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., Old Broad-street ; Messrs. Hill, Faw-
cett, and Hill, Threadneedle-street; John Wildman, Esq., Capel-
court ; and to the Bankers of the Company.
