THE 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 Com
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
sanction of Parliament, as it has already that of her Majesty's Com-
missioners of Metropolitan Improvements, and of all the Important
Southern Railways. _ _

Bridgnorth—R. O. Backhouse, Esq.

Shrewsbury—W. Cooper, Esq.
The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad guage trunk lines of the west arc to have a
common terminus. From Oxford the Great Western Company have
lecided on constructing a line of rail :—another project 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 seats 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 Bridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment to a population of about 15,000. 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 Won,
eaters Whitchurch. From this central places branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk like 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 vt hich 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 Stourport market ; the inexhaustible fields of coal anti
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 project 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 and Aberystwith, and, es.Cward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, 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 structure of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line ef com-
munication is acknowledged by the Interests seated on its proposed
course.

At a Meeting of the Provisional Committee of this Company, held
in Carricks Royal Hotel, Glasgow, on the lith instant, the Marquis
of Breadalbane in the chair; it was unanimosly resolved, that this
Company might be advantageously for both, conjoined with the
Lanarkshire and Lothians Direct Railway, and this proposition
having been favourably entertained by the latter Company, was con-
firmed at a Meeting of Provisional Committee held at Glasgow, on
the 18th instant. The Provisional Committee of the Lanarkshire
and Lothians Railway Company will proceed, on the 24th instant, to
make the allotment to the applicants in both Companies, and parties

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 better exemplified than by the Line
which is now proposed to form a short and diredt channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the public will make Oxford at the nor*, 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 cast, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the
course of Railway from 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.

Excript from the Minutes of Meeting of the Provisional Com-
mittee, held at the Royal Hotel, Glasgow, on Thursday, the 18th
inst., at One o'clock, P.M.:—

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 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 want of railway accommodation has long been felt to press
unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abtrigdon. 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 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 and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to the south and western ports and dis-
tricts.
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
passengers and goods from Kingston to Montego Bay and theirter-
mediate ports, either by sea or land, is well known to all ons
conversant with the islan i of Jamaica.
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
traversed in eight hours, at an expense not exceeding an average of
30s. per passenger. the railway the whole line will be
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 Wrts
of the east 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 nea r Bock
Fort, Yallahs, Morant Town, Port Morant, Plantain Garden, Man-
chioneal Harbour, Port 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 prodactive portion of the
island.
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 country traversed by the line abounds in the staple ar-
ticles of sugar, coffee, rum, molasses, ginger, pimento, and other
spices, dye wood, drugs, &c. ; and as more than one-third of the
land is still uncultivated, the production of these articles will, by
itande increasedigo, cae()a,
ste „facilityaadfodrt
yt traffic, beat a
willd oatgt ton
be brought into extensive cultivation. Timber of great variety
abounds along the line ; besides the pimento tree, which flourishes
spontaneously, there are mahogany, lignum vita, ebony, Spanish
elm, fine cedar, and other trees of enormous bulk. The line will
also bring largely into use the valuable palmetto , and various other
presentgreatiy uinneimrepoasedrte;d
woods for agricultural and household purpcses, aad cabinet works.
The mineral wealth of the country on the line is very considerable ;
lead ore is extremely rich and heavily impregnated with silver;
whilst every variety of coppr ore is found in abundance. Carbonate
of lime, valuable as manure,e &c., of which Long Mountain is com-
posed, will form a considerable item in the tables of traffic.
The peculiarly favourable circumstances attending the construction
of this Railway render it highly probable that a considerable portion
of the capital demanded will not be required, as every material*
necessary for its formation is to be found on the line, and should the
atmospheric principle of propulsion be adopted, the necessity for cut-
tings and embankments will be generally superseded.
A gratuitous grant of the unappropriated laud required for the line,
and the free use of all the timber, stone, &c., necessary for its con-
struction, will, it is expected, be ceded by the Legislative Assembly ;
of— Thee mu

accompany eaacictahm the grants of the land, and may be leased, which may be developed by the construction
to capitalists for the benefit of the Shareholders.
Of the various imports, and the internal traffic, a satisfactory esti-
mate can scarcely be given—it will be sufficient to state, that Coals,
Fish, Lime and Salt, empty Puncheons, Shingles, Bricks, Hoops,
Lead, Timber, Provisions, Cattle, Flonurt , Tobacco, Hardwares, and
Manufactures generally, form importa sources of profit.
The working expenses of the railway will require but a moderate
per centage, and from all the circumstances already stated, and care-
ful inquiries into the traffic, there can be no doubt that this line of
railway will yield a very remunerative return upon the capital re-
tlileCceomanpadnEy,vans43,,
quired, and the speedy communication established between the
island and Great Britain, by means of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company, will *enable the Directors in this country to exercise an
efficient control over the management of the affairs of the island.
The Committee propose to make provision in the Local Act for the
payment of 4% per cent. interest upon the amount paid upon the
shares from the passing of the Bill until the opening of the line.

This railway will commence at or near Didcot onthe Great Western
Railway, and passing through Newbury to AndoVer, Will there unite
with the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway, and the
London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Railway.
It is promoted under the belief, that whilst the Manchester and
Southampton line must command the traffic of the great manufactu-
ring districts of LanCashire and Cheshire, of the Staffordshire Pot-
teries, the iron disVicts, and the larger portion of the midland and
western counties, the traffic from the north-eastern portion of the
country and'of Oxford requires another communication, and that a
line so designed as to be worked in union with the main project of
the Manchester' and Southampton Company, must obtain the coun-
tenance of that influential body, as well as of the London, 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 any scheme dependent in its working on
other interest.
The line will afford the shortest route between Southampton and
Oxford and all points to the north-east. It will, moreover, open an
almost direct communication from Rugby, Oxford, and the eastern
counties to Newbury, Andover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Exeter, Poole,
Dorchester, and the western counties ; also to Eareham, Gosport, and
Portsmouth, and the whole eastern coast.
In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now
proposed confers en the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Daley.

Its length will be about 30 miles. - -
Such arrangements will be made as on the one hand to ensure the
success of the main design, that, namely, of having the line worked
by, or in intimate union with, the Manchester and Southampton
Railway Company, and, on the other, to meet the requirements of
the traffic supplied by the lines under the control of the Great Wes-
tern Company.
Completing, as this railway will do, the connexion from the north
and east of England to Southampton and the southern coast; ob-
taining, moreover, as it must, a large accession of traffic from the
grat network of railways 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 Portu-
gal ; also to the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, and France—it is
obvious that the return upon the cost construction (which will be
moderate) must be highly remunerative.
The project has been submitted to a deputation of Directors of the
Manchester and SouthamPton Company, and the promoters feel justi-
lied in stating that every facility will be afforded by that company in
bringing its merits fully before the Legislature.
Forms of applications for shares, copies of the prospectuses, and a
map of the line, may be obtained from the secretary, at the offices
