The object of this undertaking is to establish the most direct and
efficient railway communication that can be formed between Bir-
mingham and Oxford, connecting by the shortest possible route the
whole of the Lancashire manufacturing districts and sea-ports with
the south of England and its long line of coast in the British Channel.
The existing lines afford but a very imperfect and circuitous com-
munication through London, and it is singular that the competing
lines of railway now before the public do not supply the deficiency or
provide for the objects now contemplated. Under these circum-
stances, there can be no doubt that this railway will confer essential
benefits on the districts through which it is intended to pass, as well
as on the commercial and industrious classes of the north, and a very
cursory inspection of the map will satisfy the inquirer that the line is
so peculiarly situate as to command an unusually large amount of
through traffic, independent of its local resources, which are very great.
It cannot fail to be observed, that the Birmingham and Oxford
Junction will save a considerable distance on the route towards the
coast, besides furnishing to Warwick and Leamington the most
direct railway communication for the traffic between those places
and Oxford, Reading, &c., while the cheapness of construction and
excellence of the gradients will enable the Company to convey pas-
sengers and goods at very low rates, such as would not remunerate
an expensive line, but which are calculated to afford an ample return
for the small capital required for this undertaking.
The railway will commence by a connexion with the Grand Junc-
tion Railway at Birmingham, and proceeding in nearly a straight
line by Warwick and Leamington, fall into the intended Oxford and
Rugby line, near Fenny Compton ; the entire distance from Birming-
ham to Oxford will thus be about 62 miles.
The Stratford-on-Avon line, which will be constructed simultane-
ously with the line by Warwick and Leamington, will join the main
railway at or near to Kingswood. From Stratford-on-Avon to More-
ton-in-the-Marsh, by an improvement of the existing railway, a dis-
tance of 14 miles, the communication through Stratford w ill be com-
plete to the Oxford, Worcester, anti Wolverhampton line, and the
Oxford, Reading, and the South of England.:
It is confidently believed that this extension of the Oxford line to
the Grand Junction Railway at Birmingham, taking eamington and
Warwick in its course, will furnish such strong •cOrroborative proof
of the public importance and necessity of the Oxford and Rugby line
(now promoted by the Great Western Company) as to ensure its
success in Parliament. If the broad gauge should .be adopted, ar-
rangements have been made with the Great Western Company to
run dispatch trains between London and Birmingham in less than
three hours, and also to provide, at low rates, means of conveyance
for every description of traffic, whether of passengers, carriages,
horses, cattle, or merchandise and minerals.
The Provisional Committee, however, promote this measure as one
of great national importance, and do not intend it to be contingent in
any degree on the success or failure of the Oxford and Rugby Railway,
but they will be guided in the final selection of the line, in the prin-
ciple of construction, and in the mode of working it, by the evidence
which may be adduced during the present session, and by the result
of the applications now before Parliament, as far as they may appear
consistent with the experience still to be obtained on the relative
merits of the systems.
They need only add, in conclusion, that if the Oxford and Rugby
line is successful, the capital of 600,0000s:1W_, . e, as the country

does not require re-doing, but as the Nair grows, as it never fades or
acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes.
ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the
above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or
gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend or servant with
them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards
without the chance pf failure. Several private apartments devoted
entirely to the above purpose, glid some of their establishment having
used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it ne-
e,essary to add, that by attending strictly to the Instruct,'PPP .4

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-

may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to tha

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them ; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield
