PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
The importance 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 put,lic 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 Salisbury Direct 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 are 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 as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at
Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to the station of the Great
Western Railway at Steventon, thus giving to Abingibm 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, Hungerford 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-
tion for shares may be made.

Shareholders to the amount of their Subscription, and to allow four
per cent. interest on the calls.
The Line presents no engineering difficulties ; and as the land-
holders (havirg been canvassed) are favourable:to the Line, a return,
equal to any Railway in the Kingdom, may be relied on from the
outlay.
Preference in the allotment of Shares will be given to those locally
interested, and to the Shareholders of Lines. in connexion 'with this,
the Grand Junction, South Wales, &c. •
The Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement will be
ready for signature on payment of the deposits.
