• PRELI MINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

The intrortance et connecting remote parts_ of E. gland by Rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be be•ter exem,litied than by the Line
which is Low 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 di t erge to the northwest, north, and north-east of
the former, and to the east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line front Cambridge to Oxtord, continuing to that city the
co•zse of Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance stow suggested to effect a complete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.

The Oxford and Salisbury Direst Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will he eonferred upon the nation at
large, by preferring a direct line of common'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 Windage, liungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an Important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts iu 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 •f
Abingdon. Their means and opportanities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same remark
applies iu some degree to the market town of Wantage, which, as
well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced S y railway traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposeili 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, Hungereard 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 front Messrs. Elmslie And Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,

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
Congleton 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-•ix 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 Derby, 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
168 miles, whereas by the present route It is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 20014 miles ; effecting a saving of 92 miles in
one instance, and I2M 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 connect 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 be about 3d miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% rAiles,
making the whole distance from Manchester to Darby only 561
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by ally present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.

But great a 3 titesei*estilts moat 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 (Urea route from Liverpool to Lor.don.

The aistance frpm 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 }to line as proposed by the Man.
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to
London 113 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miler, 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 be immense.

Them are no engineering difficnitlep connected with the forming of
the line.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made en the share-
mlders I?eyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Aot to allow 41. per cent
nterest on all calls.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Zastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Iteretbrcl and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements. and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.

The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, 33roMyard. and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as to
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

combe. and CO., 16, Parliament-street
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, on the Midland Railway, are the centres to which a great
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-Lyre, Burshatn, Stoke-upon-Trent, Lane End, and
Cheadle, to Uttoxeter, where its other arm from Stafford will meet it
and proceed thence, by Ashbourne to a point near tbo Belper station
on the Midland Railway, where 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,Sn the one heed, and Sheffield,
Retford, Mansfield, Nottingham, Newark, Norwich, and the ports of
Gainsborough, Grimsby, Boston, Sledding, Lynn and Yarmouth, on
the other.
Tills line will accommodate a very considerable portion of the traffic
proceeding front the west coast of Scotland, Cumberland, and Lanca-
shire, into Lincolnshire and the south-eastern parts of the kingdom,
and by that portion of the line which is proposed to run between
Belper and Stafford, and the whole of the traffic from the east coast
of Scotland, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
anti other populous northern counties passing to the west and south-
west, together with the opulent mineral districts of South Wales, will
be effectually served.
Passing as this line will do, through a densely-populated and ex-
clusive 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 traffic over it
will be immense ; but, in addition to this, when credit is taken for the
thorough traffic passing diagonally over the ef, om south-east to
north-west, and from north-east to south-w, st, as well as fbr the
corn and other a .:ricultural produce from the eastern counties to the
manufacturing districts ; and a return carriage of manufactured
goods, slates from North Wales, salt from Cheshire, earthenware
from Staffordshire, and iron from Shropshire, for the consumption of
the midland counties as well as for export from the eastern ports
of Hull, Grimsby, Boston, Spalding, ice., some adequate idea may
be formed of the advantages which the corn* ion of this
comprehensive scheme will naturally develop, skit these objects
have been deeply and seriously considered, an (learned of such para-
mount importaece to 1001 interests, that the fullest and Most in-
fluential support and co-operation have been ob
d
tabled to effectually
carry out and insure the various objects of this undertaking,
Surveys of the district have been made with much ears, and the
result is highly favourable in an engineering point of view.
The Committee in the allotment of shares will
give a preference to
parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will
be required to some person of known respectability,
Power will be taken in the act to allow Interest, et the rate of 4/,
per cent. per annum, oil the deposits, as well as on all future calls,
from the date of each payment, till the opening of the whole line, or
until a dividend be declared; and the liability of subscribers will be
limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective
shares,
The shares and all payments made thereon will be forfeited with,
out notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' Agrecs
ment and Parliamentary Contract as soon as ref:v.l4,4
