PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The inirortance of connecting Femete parts of L.gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better exempfled 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 east, 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 lisbury Direst Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring 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 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 arc already provided 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 tts Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of. the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposedli ne at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station' 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 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 which have been named, Hungenord and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to tke 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 from. Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,
London, solicitors to the undertaking, to whom, at present, applica
tints for shares may be made.

SoLimon—John Bethel], Esq., 78, King William-street, London.

The national object of this undertaking is to create a direct and
united communication . between the eastern and western parts of the
kingdom.

On reference to a railway map of England, it will at once be seen
that Stafford and Crewe, on the Grand Junction and Derby, and
Belper, en the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a groat
number of lines of railway, either already constructed or projected,
converge ; and between these four points no railway exists.
The West Midland Railway proposes to unite these points in the
following way :—By commencing one of its arms at Crewe station,
on the Grand Junction Railway, which will run through or near
Newcastle-under-Lyne, Bursham, Stoke-npon-Trent, Lane End, and
Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it
and proceed thence, by Ashboume to a point near the Belper station
on the Midland Railway, whore it will take advantage of the pro-
posed Derby and Gainsborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, and
Boston, Newark, and Sheffield Railways ; thus opening a direct com-
munication between Holyhead and other parts of North Wales,
Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire Sen the one hand, and Sheffield,
Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, Lynn ant Yarmouth. on
the other.
This line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic
proceeding from the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Ls.nea-
shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom,
and by that portion of the line which is proposed to run be'sween
Helper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic ftom the east. coast
of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and other populous northern counties passing to the west and south-
west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wal es, will
be effectually served.
Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex-
cising manufacturing district, it must be viewed, even in its local
character, as one of vast importance. The mere enumeration of the
towns affected by it would suffice to show that the traf fie over it
will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is to ten for The
thorough traffic passing diagonally over the line from inraSh_
_east to
north-west, and from north-east to south-west, as well 'as fur
corn and other agricultural produce from the eastern sou ntles to the

CONSULTING ENGINEER.
ENGINEERS.
Messrs. Rice and Thomas Hopkins, M.1.C.8.;
and John Belcher, Esq.
SECRETARY.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
importance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
Conglaton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way). and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Deily, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways; -optn an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts.
The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in
one instance, and 12% miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
46 miles ; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to eonneet more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the fbci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.
The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will he about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56%
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to he attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the, very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.
The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles;
from Leek to Rugby. according to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will he immense.

There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent
interest on all calls.

Applications for detailed prospectuses, maps, and shares, may
be made to the Secretary, at the offices, 28, Moorgate-street,
London; at Mr. Bethel's Offices, 78, King William-street, City,
London ; and at 22, Cross-street, Manchester, and the following
