rrillE DIRECTORS of" the LONDON CEN-
TRAL RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY cannot avoid
referring to the extraordinary decision come to by the Hungerford
Bridge Company, repudiating a solemn contract made by their
Directors, and sanctioned by a recent general meeting. The Corm
mittee of the Central Terminus Company are . advised that not-
withstanding this decision, the contract is one which may be
enforced in equity. Nevertheless, as time presses, they have in-
structed their engineer to lay down an independent railway bridge,
by which the absolute necessity of dealing with the Hungerford
Bridge Company may be obviated, and the very contracted area
of Hungerford Market may be dispensed with.
The Committee, under these circumstances, will at once proceed
to an allotment of their Shares, and the important business of the
Company; and they cannot doubt, that, considering the great na-
tional importance of their undertaking, it will readily receive the
sunction of Parliament, as it has already that of her Majesty's Com-
missioners of Metropolitan Improvemfints, and of all the important
Southern Railways.

By order of the Committee,
J. F. NEALE, Secretary.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west are to have a
-!.ommon terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have

lecid.d on constructing a lineOitgii:aTotherproject under the pa-
tronage of the same powerful direction is now before the public,
uniting Worcester with Warwick ; and, that the broad gauge will be
carried from Worcester Into Wales, and to the Irish packet stations
on that coast, is now no longer doubtful. This undertaking will com-
plete a series of great avenues of iron-road, whose ramification
from Worcester will render every part of the kingdom directly
accessible from that city. Passing up the Severn Vale, where
It will disclose a succession of picturesque scenes, it reaches
Stourport, and proceeding thence through Kidderminster, arrives at
Bewdley. This district is one of the chief scats of our carpet manu-
factures, and in the towns here named, exclusive of the intervening
districts, upwards of 30,000 persons are located. Leaving Stourbridge
a little to the east, the line is taken to Itridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufacturCs and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,e00. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which place there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington-and Wem,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk line will continue from Whitchurch, and
passing through or near Malpas, have its northern terminus in the
city of Chester.
_ _

in estimating the probable amount of revenue which the Worces-
ter and Chester Railway may be expected to yield, many sources of
profit present themselves, such are the dense population located along
the length of the Severn Vale, and the enriching works of industry
in which they are engaged. Amongst the latter may be mentioned
the China manufactories of Worcester, the iron, coal, and earthen-
ware works at Broseley and other places ; the agricultural produce
brought to Stott/port market; the inexhaustible fields of coal and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the east of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the cost of construction unusual advantages are also
obvious. The line traverses a district affording levels of several
miles in extent; and with a surface peculiarly favourable. The resi-
dent population, disappointed by the postponement of promised pro-
jects, have warmly espoused the present, and the labouring popula-
tion being familiar with mining operations, will be found better
qualified for the execution of railway works here than-in many other
localities.

As a link in the railway network of England, or as auxiliary
to existing or projected lines passing in various directions, few
schemes hitherto proposed appear to afford greater inducement
for investment, or a wider range of accommodation for traffic and
travelling. This projo4 t constitutes a lengthened link in the chain
that will connect Liverpool with Bristol, the grand trunk of the
West of England ;—its southern terminus, Worcester, is the half-
way station of the London and Port Dynnllaen broad gauge line :
by projected lines a direct communication will be afforded west-
ward to Swansea arta Aberystwith, and, era_ward, to Warwick and
Northampton, CamtiTidge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln,
and Hull.

The line has been repeatedly and carefully examined by the Com-
pany's acting engineer, who reports that the rail for many miles may
be laid on the natural level—that the gradients are in every in-
stance favourable—that the geological struct•are of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed
course.

This railway will commence at 0 nbar Didcot on the great Wrstern
Railway, and passing through Newlyzy to Andover, Will there unite
with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway, and the
I. ondon, Salisbury, and Yeovil RailWaY.
It is promoted under the Witt*, that whilst the Manchester Rita
Southampton line must tOrnmand the traffic of the great Mantifacta-
ring districts of Lancashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire rot=
teries, the trotidistricts, and the larger portion Of the Midland Mid
western Counties, the traffic front the north-eastern portion of the
country and of Oxford requires another tomnitinication, and that a
line so designed at to be Worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester and Southattipton Company, must obtain the 611n-
tenance of that influential body, as well as of the LOnoton, Salisbury,
and Yeovil CoMpany (to the traffic of Which Company this under-
taking will prove an important tributary), and will offer greater
facilities to the public than tidy scheme dependent in its working on
other Interest.

The line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford anti all points to the north-east. It win, moreover, open an
almost direct communication fYdlti itugby, Oxford, and the eastern
counties to Newbury, Atido'fiel', Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the Wettern counties ; also to Fareham, ciollpt3rt, and
Portsmouth, anti the whole eastern coast.
In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now
proposed confers on the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs or Waybill, Appleshaw, and Ilsley.
Its length will be about 30 miles.
Such arrangotnents will be made as on the Ml@ to ensure the
success of the main design, that, nittnely, of having the line worked
by, or In intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampum
Railway Company, and, Ott the other, to meet the requifenieta of
the traffic supplied by the lines under the control, 'ef tilt Dieat Wes-
tern Company. _

Completing, as this railway.tvAl ab, the connexion from the north
and east of En;;;and to ft&ithampton and the southern coast; ebz
tanning, mgreover, at it must, a large accession of traffic from the
great network Of Yailways centering at Oxford; and giving an outlet
at Southampton, the principal mail packet station of the kingdom; to
the East and West Indies, Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, and POftii •
gal ; also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and Prance--it is
obvious that the return upon the to,M. tonstruction (which will be
moderate) must be highly remunerative.
The project has been sttblffitted to a deputation-of Directors of the
'Manchester and Slathampton Company, and the promoters reel justi-
fied in. stating that every facility will be afforded by that company in
bringing its merits hilly before the Legislature.

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 be'ter exemplified 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 wilt 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 from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the
course of Railway front 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 Wantagi; Hungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an importailit 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 Itrpc:—,cant and thrivinc ! te,rn of
AbiligdoW-Their means and oppertunities.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 Abingff a 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. 1

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.

The great difficulty, delay, and expense attending the transit of
passengersed tale p ports,
rat and d
either
geods fl'hyomselaCinegrstloanndto, Montego Bay and the inter-
conversant with the islan i of Jamaica. is well known to all person.'
The average passage by steamer between Montego Bay and King-
ston, occupies forty-four hours ; and the costs, including expenses on
the route, amount to nearly 51. each passenger, while the quickest
journey by land occupies three days, and the expenses, including
horse hire, reach nearly 201. By the railway the whole line will be
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of.
Ms. per passenger.
The difference in the freights between the northern and southern
sides of the island and England is such, that independently of the
saving of time, this railway will enable proprietors on the northern
side, after payment of the costs of transit, to ship their produce at
much less expense than at present, and will afford them the advan-
tage of shipping at all times from the very excellent harbour of King-
ston, instead of being confined, as they now are, to the exposed ports
of the cast and north of the Island.
The line will commence at a spacious quay, to be constructed at
Kingston Harbour, with a depth of water sufficient for vessels of the
largest tonnage employed in the export trade of the Island ; at or
near to which point it is proposed to form a junction with the King-
ston.and Spanish Town Railway, and proceed thence by or near Rock
Fort, Yallarlis, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Poll Antonio, Buff Bay, Anotto Bay, Port Maria,
St. Ann's, Duncan, Martha Brae, and terminate at or near Montego
Bay. By these [means a line of intercommunication will be formed
between the most important and populous places, and facility offered
for carriage of the produce of the most prodactiva portion of the
island.

suPerSeded'ill6
construction
Through the southern portion of the line, the physical features are
gentle elevations, almost parallel to the principal range of moun-
tains which run east and west, nearly the length of the island ; the
eastern portion, from Port Morant to Plantain Garden, is almost.
level ; while the northern runs through an exceedingly rich country,
rising into hills separate from each other by spacious vales. The
whole of the Colintry traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar-
tcles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as mote than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the ptoduction of these articles will, by
the increased facility icir traffic, be greatly increased ; and cotton,
indigo, cocoa, &c., and dry stuffs, at present nnimported, will again
be brought ito extensive cultivation. Tiinbet of great variety
abounds along the line; besides the pimento tree, Which flourishes
spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignuin yam, ebony, Spanish
elm, fine cedar, and other trees Of enorthoits Wilk. The line will
also bring largely into use the valuable paltti,;4l,l , and various othdt
woods for agricaltiiral and hotisehold ptirpotg, Aid,cabinet works.
The, mineral Wealth or the country on the line is very considerable ;
lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver;
whilst every variety of copper ore is found in abundance, Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure, &c:, of Which tong Mountain is Coin-
posed, will form a cOnSiderable item in the tables of traffic,
The pecilliarlY favourable circumstances attending the constitietitin

of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material*

PROSPECTUS.
This short but important line of railway is intended to commence
at a point in the Teen and DoVe Valley Railway, at or near to
Snareston, and to extend to Leicester.
It will thus furnish a • link necessary for carrying on the traffic
brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands!, the Bedford,
and the Peterborough Railways (all of which terminate at or near
Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, and complete all Unbroken line of railway, by
the best and neat est practicable rents, from the various important
railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool.
This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest
coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon.
Trent, Uttolteter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke-
upon-Trent, and Xewcastle.under.Lyme, and the important and
rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadllncote and Orealey, as well as
those of Staffordshire.
All inspection of the map will show that the Junction line POW'
proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can•
not fad to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors.
The undertaking has the cordial support of the Than and Dove
Valley Railway Company.
In the allotment of shares preference Will be giittl to Sliareholderl
tri that Company, and to parties locally interested In the line.
The capital of. the Company will be 300,0001., divided Into /400
shares of 20/. each i a deposit of 2/. Se. per share must be paid on al-
letthent, Rita each original subscriber must execute the usual Perna-
itentary and Siffisetiption Contract. or his shares *ill he tbrfeited.
Copies of the prospectus arid trap May be had from the Stetttary
and Solicitors ; and applications for shares mutt be Made to the
Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member df the Pro.
Visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors Of thti
Company.
Shareholders in the Tean and Mote Valley Railway who apply,
Will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company.
