The importance or 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 north-west, north, and north-east of

Le former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the

proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to tliat city the
course et railway from the north-eastern parts of theftland, 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, in addition to

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Values, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
one of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its Immense and valuable
products.

le benefits which will he conferred
_upoi the. Ratio* at

large, by preferring a direct line of commusecatiou be-
tween the north-eastern and western and 34111th-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 City and University of
Oxford, combining also the advantage of a direct communication
with the sister University 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.

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glarnorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for area making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very
best descriptim for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other,
that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested,
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising vallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.

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 Plungerford and Ludgersltall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic.

An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
line.

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 di-. ect rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to Wantage, the
same facility of transit to London will be ad'orded 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 and western ports and dis-
tricts.

This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may
be said to be almost excluded
It is in'

!ed that the line 0141 commence at linen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
between the hills at Ftiwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to lanelay- bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus opening a coanuitivatif,n tinder the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a
line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate,
whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole of the
south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the
several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and
the north of England.
From Its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always
be the most accessible point of the English coast ; an expeditious
communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours,
and inland towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regaaded
as a gyeat national advantage.
Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais,
Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers
already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im-
measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol-
land, and Germany are fully bright into operation.
In addition to which, the Goverrunent Commissioners having
selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay
these 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the
greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun-
try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast.
In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, or
for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping
and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve-
nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all
parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro-
moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway,
which will form a portion of a grand. trunk line, completing the
chain of railway communication upon the narrow gauge between the
south-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid-
land counties.
The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail-
way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godahning, Farnham,
and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail-
way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow-
bridge, and Bradford, with a brarich to Bath, and pursuing its course
through the Somersetshire coal-field, throwing off a branch towards
Radstock into the heart of the collieries,tterminate in a junction with
the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol.
By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odi-
ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by
those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey,
Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their
produce to the great Hop-fair at Weyhill.
By its junction with the contemplated " Reading, Guildford, and
Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford,
and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to
the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the
other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of
visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior
of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which
will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading.
By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke,
and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further
west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with
Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.),
Gosport, and Portsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham,
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also
with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole
of North and South Wales.
At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis-
bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south-
eastern counties the populous and wealthy cities of Salisbury and
Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset,
and Devon, the ports of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and
the mineral regions of Cornwall.
To Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns
in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line will confer
cannot be too highly estimated; to the coal districts of Somerset-
shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to
the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con-
necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro-
viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, end securing to
them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and
the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor-
mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a
project more deserving of their cordial support.
In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between twos great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted
that principle of competition with existing interests which was
claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for
the protection and benefit of the public; and it is with no fear of
the result that the promoters of the present undertaking invite
attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the
construction of the line from Bristol to Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel
will be avoided, and a new and independent communication will be
established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the
narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde-
pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at
Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both
there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient station
of the Great Western at Paddington.
In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this
Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate
and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South-
Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not
present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi-
dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under an
imperative necessity.
A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and
the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course
of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests
and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the
shareholders.

This railway is projected to form a direct communication 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 Uckfleld
and Rotherfleld, 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 tho 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
neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex-, with the Important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. Tito internal centraunicatiOa
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, Uckfleld
Maresfleld, Frampfleld, East lloathly, Mayfield, Withyltam,Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rothertield,
Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticelturst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst.
The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that roust of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineeriug or otherwise, preseat them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile constrac-
tion, and easy gradients
The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which
they have pledged their support.
The usual power will be taken in 'the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up cabs from the passing
of the Act 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 Rinds 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 into 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
companies, 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 ;toW. P. Kell, Esq., ;to
Robert Foreman, Esq., Tonbridge Wells ; and to F. H. Nalder, Esq.,
Secretary, 83, Basinghall-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-
I,
court ; and to the Bankers of the Company.

The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of
201. each, with a deposit of 21. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment.
Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per cent.
per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of
the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act has beea obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contrast will
be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay-
ment of the deposits.
Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, N 0.12, Gray's Inn•place, only; but ID appli-
cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a

The Committee of Management of the Shrewsbury and Trent Valley Union Railway Company having this day unanimously re-
solved, that it is expedient that this undertaking should be combined
with the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company, and that
for this purpose the Shrewsbury and Trent Valley Union Railway
Company should be dissolved and its affairs wound up;—
Notice is hereby given, that scrip holders must forward their scrip
to these offices on or before the 31st October instant, and signify in
the annexed form, their election either to receive back their deposit,
which, in that event, will be returned to them without deduction for
past expenses, or to take in exchange for the scrip of the Shrews-
bury and Trent Valley Union Company, a corresponding number of
Shares in the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company.
Parties who shall so elect may receive back their deposits forthwith,
on depositing their scrip.
Parties who elect to take shares in the Shropshire Union Railway
and Canal Company, may, in like manner, on depositing their scrip,
obtain a letter of allotment for a coresponding number of shares in
the new Company, which allotment will be forwarded to original
