avoiding the loss of time and great inconvenience of going
round by the metropolis. So also as to Brentfqrd, Hounslow, King-
ston, and Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern linos; and by
this line, in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the me-
tropolis, and the other proposed and established linos north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, and
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number of persons visiting Hampton-court In the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the county of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely increased, and form another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and Important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected ; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at about 16,000/. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.

cider, wool, hops, and other agricultural productions, as also timber
froln the before-mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the
mining and manufacturing districts, which cannot fail to produce an
Immense traffic.

The importance of 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
the former, and to the south and west of the latter ; and the I
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 :4itlisbury Direct Railway, is addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
the Cathedral City of Salls-
large, by perfecting a direct line of commuu'eatiott be-
tween the north-eastern and western and south-western
parts of England, will afford to the boreugh of Abingdon,
the
market towns of waidage, Ilungerford, and Ltulgershall, and
the adjacent villages, an important railway accosamodatien, of which
the agricultural districts in which they are seated stand in much

°dation has The want of railway aceoraM long been felt to press

unfairly upon the inhabitants of the important and thriving town of
Abingdon. Their gleans and opportunities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-
rect channels of transit, are thus severei v crippled. The same remark
applies in some degree to the market ll of Wantage, 'which, as
well as Ilungerford and Ludgershali ,
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 aforded 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 Ludgere.
