Originating at Bicester, by a junction with the Oxford and Cam-
i*ldge line through Wolverton, in connexion with the Eastern Coun-
ties, the South and Midlands Junction will afford facility of Inter-
coarse with the metropolis in one direction, with Stafford, the Pot-
teries, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester in the other ; near
Woodstock, close to which the projected line will pass, the Oxford
and Rugby and Oxford and Worcester Railways cross, presenting
wportunities of entering the two great rallway arteries of the king-
dom—the Great Western and the London and Birmingham, the for-
mer at Dudeot, the latter at Rugby.

Proceeding to the manufacturing town of Witney, a line is crossed
communicating with the Stroudwater district of manufactures by the
Oxford and Cheltenham Railway, thence the projected line trends di-
rectly S.W., leaving Plimpton to the east, until it reaches Lechlade,
a town seated at the aftlux of the Thames and Severn navigation
with the River Thames, and where a oons!derable entrepot for mer-
chandise is established. _

Keeping within easy distances of Farringden, Cricklade, and High-
worth, it reaches Swindon, a rapidly improving vicinity. At this
principal station, where the broad gauge is crossed, the Gloucester
and Cheltenham line falls into the Great Western. _ .

The Intersection of the South and Midland Junction with the Great
Western at Swindon opens a most extensive and valuable communi-
cation with London eastward; Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Chelten•
ham, Stroud, westward ; and, by tho Gloucester and Aberystwlth
projected line, with the whole of North and South Wales.

The line of Railway intended to be constructed by this Company
will commence at or near Norton Bridge (a station of the Grand
Junction Railway), In the county of Stafford, and proceed from
thence by Eceleshall, Offley, Norbury, Forton, Newport, Donnington
Wood, Oaken Gates,' Priors Lee, Stirchley, Dawley, Maderey, and
Act, to
annuml i
il
attrhibiseeedt
Iron Bridge, to Coalbrook-dale; there, crossing the proposed " Wor-
cester and Crewe. Railway," it will pass along the slope of Wenlock-
edge, by Rushbury and Eaton-under-Haywood, to Wistanstow, in
the county of Salop, where it will run into, and form a junction with
the " Shrewsbury, Hereford, and North Wales Railway."
The line will traverse a rich mineral district, and will have a secure
and extensive traffic by the carriage of coal from the Shropshire
coal-field, to a depot proposed to be ffitmed at Wistanstow, for the
supply of South Shropshire, part of Radnorshire and Herefordshire,
and also from whence it will be conVeyed by the " Hereford, Shrews-
bury, and North Wales Railway," into 3lontgomery-shire and the
neighbouring counties, where coal does not exist. It is impossible to
calculate the extent to which this traffic may be carried, as by the
direct railway Communication thus opened between the Shropshire
coal-field, and the important manufacturing towns of Newtown
and Llanidloes, the price per ton will be reduced one-half at
those places, and the flannel manufacturers, now depend-
ing upon water power, will, by the cheapness of coal, be
enabled to employ steam, and to extend' their trade in proportion to
the great demand which exists for the Welsh flannels, in preference'
to any other. The importance of this subject will have its due weight
with those who so often witness the bad effects upon the trade, caused
by the stoppage of the mills from an insufficiency of.water.
A considerable amount of tonnage is now incurred by the Shrop-
shire ironmasters, for the conveyance of lime-stone from the neigh-
bourhood of Much Wenlock 'to the furnaces, by several transits of
land and water carriage, whereas the proposed railway will convey
it dircot into the heart of the works, and at one-third of the expense.
By its junction with the " Grand Junction" and the " Hereford
and Shrewsbury" Railways, this line will form a direct communica-
tion between Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, York and Hull, and
Swansea and South Wales.
As a junction line alone (connecting as it will each important rail-
ways), a large passenger traffic may be depended upon, but when it
is considered that the centre of the line passes through a densely-
populated mining district, and the remainder through a thriving
agricultural neighbourhood, it will be obvious that a aufficient local
traffic exists to pay a highly remunerative interest on the amount of
capital riquired to be embarked. .
The line, which will 'not interfere with any propertY of an orna:
mental or costly character, will not exceed 46 miles in length, and
will be constructed at much less than the average cost.

The Committee have the .satisfaetien to inform thei Shareholders
that they have secured the services of Joseph Locke, Esq., as en-
gineer of their line.
They also refer wit k much pleasure to the prospectus of the Cornwall
and Devon Central Railway Company, announcing the Intention of that
Company to carry on the lice direct from Exeter to Falmouth and
Penzance, whereby a saving Of fifty miles in distance will be effected
over the present railway communication between London and the
Land's End.
In connexion with the South-West, rn Line, whose projected ter-
mini at Charing-cross and London-bridge will bring their traffic into
the heart of Lonfion, it is evident that this line will not only be the
most direct and shortest, but will also be completed at the least cost.
as nearly fifty miles of the main line of the South-Western, between
London and Basingstoke, mill be traversed as part of the line.

In consequence of the numerous representations made to this Com-
pany of the necessity and advantage of forming a Branch line from
Salisbury to Poole, through Wimborne, the Committee, in compliance
with the wishes thus expressed, have determined to carry out this
important object.
The line will commence at Salisbury, and, passing near Downtou
and by Fording bridge, will proceed en to Wimborne Minster, and
there, joining the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, ill com-
plete The direct communication to I'oole.
A survey of the country has b.en made, and the Committee are
enabled to state, that the report of the Engineers is highly satisfactory.
The minute: and careful estimates of the traffic, which have already
been made, show a very large return on the amount ofeapital neces-
sary for the undertahing ; and as the line will be constructed and
worked under the management of the Committee of this Company, &
material saving in the ordinary expenses will be effected.
The capital to be raised for this purpose will be 250,0001.. which
will he divided into 10,000 shares of 251. each.
Prospectuses and forms of application fur shares may be had at the
Office of the Company, 63, Moorgate-street, where applications will

The objects of the Midland and Thirsk Junction Railway are three-
fold; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of
Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line
of communication from South to North, between the Midland and
the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with
the Midland et laikenshaw, the Man. hester and Leeds and the Wake-
field, Pontefrnet and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at
sr near How ey Mille, the Bradford and Leeds at er near Calverley,
and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely
populated and important manufacturing district through which the
line 14 intended to pass, the best facilities for the conveyance of pas-
merchandise, &c., to all parts of the country.
Ti'e intended line runs parallel with none of the projected schemes
of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of theta; it
114 perfectly independent. and imperatively called for.
The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work-
in; 1.1 the Howden Clough and Cockersdale Valleys (which are on
the Intended line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when
the ralhvity pow projected is formed. it is believed that the average
sewr wsekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast
and inexhanstible field of coal, occupying more than 10,000 acres,
and averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli-
mited supply of the best and cheapest coal in the kingdom will be
available for the London market (via Goole), as well as the more
meiglibourinelowns of Wakefield, Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Dews-
, Siury, Keighley, Skipton, Otley, Harrogate, Knaresborough,
, where in most cases the reduction will be at least
oneehalSfc, and in the more distant places much more than this amount
of rem action, and in all which places an abundant supply of good and
cheap veil is of the highest importance. The revenue to be realised
from this source alone, it is believed, will yield a most ample
for the cape/al required.
Besides pat sing through the centre of this immense coal field, the
railway traveeses a district affording accommodation to a population
of upwards of 315,000 inhabitants, and whilst affording every accotn-
etiodatton to this rest populstion, whose internal traffic must neces-.
sarliy he very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the
relative position in which it stands to other lines, so that for inter-
nal resources and external relations he advantages are almost un-
Availed.
This line affords the most direct 'communication from North to
seetii, and will be a nearer route fram Huddersfield, Wakefield,
Manchester, South Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South,
to that much frequented waterine.place, Harrogate, and will form
most eligible line, with appropriate stations it Wakefield, Al-era-
-1 horpes Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Calverley,
Horsforth. The length of the main line will be about sixteen
sntSs., an; the breeches six trilles.
