PROSPECTUS.
The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are-
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and the
metropolis.
2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex- ,
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 miles
In length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull.
5. The connecting Ofthe two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the• Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propOse to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed bylthe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.
The sources of traffic whi2ll this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Souther n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im-
portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.
In the, event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining then Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but
also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that ene of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successffil before Parliament.
From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed,.
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great Girimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.
Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. :—Messrs. reppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

and highly beneficial as a necessary connecting link between the
northern and southern, and: midland counties of this kingdom ; and
that this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to carry the
same forward, so as to go before Parliament in the ensuing session.

The
irek.ortanee
of
connecting remote parts of England by rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermedi etowns
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 wilr diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east of
g to that city the
the former, and to the south and west of the latter • and the
proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, contienin
course of railway il'ont 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 FalisburY Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the natio' at
large, by perfecting a direct line of communication 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 projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the Cit
y and University of
Oxford, combining Also the advantage of a direct communication
with the sister Universiq 'Of-Cambridge ; thus strengthening the
ecclesiastical and academical relations of the whole, whilst the com-
mercial prosperity of the two terminal cities must of necessity be
essentially enhanced.
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. Tho 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 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, Hungerford ports udgers-
hall, to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western and dis-
tricts.
The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com-
pleted in sufficient time to enable the :ornpany to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general
and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry,
landowners. traders,' and influential inhabitants. have reasonable
gronnd to anticipate the sunobstructed passing of the necessary Act
for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during
the ensuing session..

This railway will commence at the Important town of Wolver-
hampton, proceeding through or mar to Seisdon, Trysull, and Cla-
verly, to the manufacturing town of Bridgnorth : from thence it will
continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Lud-
low, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of England,
North and South Wales, and Ireland, a distance of about thirty-two
miles. . . .

It will afford direct communiestioa between Ludlow, Bridgnorth,
and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c. ; and, by the South Staffordshire
Junction Railway give to those towns and districts the most direct
route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, /Corti•
Eastern, and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those
towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day.
It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and
South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow,
coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
and the Clee-hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those neces-
sary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep,
cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber
from the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the
mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an
immense traffic.

To the towns embraced in this l!ne, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the
utmost importance.
One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby
afford to passengers the easist:communication to and from the central
parts of the kingdom.
It is satisfactory to the promoters to state, that they have the
sanction of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the
