The importance of connecting remote parts of Eagland by rail-
ways, with the advantages thereby conferred upon intermediate towns
and districts, can scarcely be better 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 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 south and west of the latter • and the
proposed line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing t• that city the
co arse of railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, requires
the appliance now suggested to effect a compete means of transit to
the western and south-western counties.
The Oxrord and aalisbury Direct Railway, ix addition to
the benefits which will he conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of commun'eation be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the borouch 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 arc 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.
The want of railway accommodation has long been felt to preas
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 severe!y crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market town of IVantage, which, as
well as Hungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits,
and adyantages produced try 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-

local interest, will obtain a preference in the Allotment of Shares in
this undertaking.
Railway Offices, 1, Gray's nm-square,
Oct. 14, 1845.

TENBY, SAUNDERSFOCT, and SOUTH
WALES RAILWAY AND PIER COMPANY.
Notice is hereby given that no Applications for Shares can be re-
ceived from parties in London after SATURDAY, the 25th day of
October instant, nor from parties in the conntryafter the 28th inst.
I, Gray's Inn-square, Oct. 18, 1843.

The proposed railway will commence at Rugby, on the London
and Birmingham Railway, the terminus of the Midland Counties
and Trent Valley Railways, and the paint to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
and Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will 13::
about 56 miles.
The advantages that will result from the construction of this line
are numerous and highly important, and such as cannot fail to secure
a very large amount of local and through traffic, and a highly-re-
munerative return upon the capital invested. By means of existing
and proposed railwa3 s, it will form a complete chain ut railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties ofEnAland, the populous cities and towns before-named, and
the southern and western districts, and thus bring Leicester, Not-
tingham, Newark, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Great Grimsby, and Hull,
into direct communication with the favourite and fashionable spas of
Leamington and Cheltenham, tits richly-productive and far-lamed
Vale of Evesham, and the seaports of Gloucester, Bristol, Plymouth,
and Falmouth, and those of South Wales.
The inhabitants and visitors of the much-frequented watering-
places of Leamington and Cheltenham will thus obtain a direct line
between those resort,,, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of interconnnunication which
has long been ardently desired ; and it will also afford the utmost fa-
cility of access to the innumerable visitors who, attracted as well by
the beauty of the scenery as the memory of Shakspearo, annually
resort to Stratford-on-Avon.

To those passengers from the east and north-east, direct to
Gloucester, the line from Tewkesbury, cutting off the angle of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to Cheltenham, will afford a
great accommodation, and a saving in distance of at least eight miles,
besides the delay of the stoppage at Cheltenham.
kt Tewkesbury it will also form a junctien with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern. affording the most direct communiestion
to the numerous vision to the magnitioent scenery and Invigorating
atmcsphere of the celebrated Malvern-hills.

To the inhabitants of the ancient and populous borough of Tewkes•
bury this portion of the proposed line will prove immensely advan-
tageous ; situated within ten miles of the important city and port of
Gloucester, they have nevertheless to travel by the present railway
route nearly twice that distance, an inconvenience which has
already materially affected the trade, and prejudiced the intereqs of
the town. The proposed line, running close to the town, will remove
this great Inconvenience, and restore its trade to its former state of
prosperity.

- The value of this line to the city and port of Gloucester cannot
be too highly estimated, as it will not only open to It immen> e
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
_ _

and Birmingham, Wolverhamp'..m;, and South Stanrdshire, making
Gloucester still more securely the nearest and most accessible outlet
for the whole of that immensely productive manufacturing region,
and it is Impossible to conceive any project better calculated to
advance the interests of Gloucester, than one capable of effecting
that object.
Ths line will also form an important junction between the London
and Birmingham and Midlands Railways, and the Bristol and
Gloucester Railway, and constitute the highway for the traffic of the
former, and of all the north-eastern railways, to the proposed Man-
chester and Southampton Railway at Cheltenham ; and the through
traffic from the latter source alone is expected to be very great.
It will thus have the effect of connecting the ports of the eastern
and north-eastern with those of the western and southern coasts ;
of affording the most direct and convenient access from the north
and east to the vast mineral regions of South Wales, and of opening
new markets for the rich products of the fertile valleys of the Avon
and Severs, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and IVor.

cestershire:in the manufacturing towns and ports of the north.
The line will be easy of construction, traversing, as it does, through
nearly its whole length, the valleys of the Avon and Severn. The
towns through which it will run are very populous, and the country
of the richest description ; and the local traffic will consequently be
very great in addition to the through traffic, which on such a line
must necessarily be very extensive.
The Provisional Colunittee reserve to themselves the power to
•

—...-...—..---- .
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line, and ti vary or extend the line, and to Increase or diminish
the ctroital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,000/., in shares of 201.,
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per stare must be paid upon
allotment.

The liability of the subscribers will be limited by the Act to the
amount of their respective subscriptions to the capital stock, and
power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at the rate of
4/. per cent.per annum on the amount of the deposit, and upon the re-
spective calls, from the date of each payment until the opening of the
lino.

This Comp Any Is formed for the purpose of establish'zig direct rail-
way communiyation between the important ports of Hull, Great
Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to effect this desirable object by the constructicn of
a line of railway, commencing at Lincoln, passing Grantham, eak-
ham, Uppingbun, near to Rockingham and Rethwell, and joining

26, Moorgate•street.

the South Midland Railway between Market Harborough and North-
ampton; thus forming in connexion with projected lines of railway
from Hull and Grimsby to Lincoln, and from Northampton to South-
ampton, the connecting link, In one uninterrupted chain of railway
communication, from Hull and Grimsby to Southampton, Gosport,
And Poole, and the whole of the south-western coast of England.
It will also form the most direct route from Hull, Great Grimsby,
and the whole of Lincolnshire, Rutlandshire, Northamptonshire, and
part of Leicestershire, to Oxford, Banbury, Cheltenham, Gloucester,
Bristol, Exeter, and the south and west of England.
An inspection of the map will at once show the Import once of this
undertaking, whether considered in a local or national point of view,
forming as it will an intimate connexion between London and the
south generally, with the fertile districts of Lincolnshire and the
adjacent counties, at present without railway accommodation;
wiidst its value to the South Midland, the NorLhain pion, Banbury,
and Cheltenham, the London and Birmhigham Railway Companies,
and the projected lines south of Sorthtmpton (to which it will form
a most profitable adjunct), must be obvious.
This line will also form junctions at Lincoln with the projected line
from London to York, also with the Leicester, Louth, and orinisbn
the Nottingham and Lincoln, and the other proposed lines running to
Lincoln; at Grantham with the Nottingham, Vale of Belvoir, and
Grantham, and the Grand Union ; at Oakham with the Syston and
Peterboriugh ; also with the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham and
London, and Manchester Direct.

One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does not
run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of ralway.
The ground has been surveyed and found to be practicable, pre-
senting tbr the most part nu engineering ditlicultics.
Satisfact,,ry communications- for mutual co-operation have been
opened with the several companies whose interests will be affected
by the proposed line. In the meantime, the Committee of Manage-
ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or
deviate from the proposed line, or maize such. extension and branches
as they may hereafter deem advisable.

The subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their sub-
scriptions, ti, .d power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at th' rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the
passing of the Act.

In consequence of a great portion of the shares having been already
applied for, the period for application must necessarily be very
limited.

Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the
following sharebrokers :—London, Mr. W. West, Capel-courc; Mr.
