The Committee have much satisfaction in stating that arrange-

Saundersfoot Company for securing the use of their line, and other
works, and that the surveys of the short extension of the old line are
complete, and the whole of the necessary deposits can be made be-
fore the 25th November next, so as to insure the application being
made to Parliament in the ensuing session. The assent of almost
every landowner on the line has already been obtained, and nego-
tiations are in progress with the South Wales Railway, so that there
is every reason to believe that the measure will be carried out with-
out any opposition.
Prospectuses may be obtained of the solicitors and local agents, and
of Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Threadneedle-street, London;
Edwards and Son, and Tate and Nash, Bristol ; Beaumont and Lang-
worthy, Exeter ; J. Woods, junior, Liverpool ; J. Fernyhough, Man-

The vales of the Ogwr (or Ogmore) Fawr and Ogwr Fach, and
of the Garw, lying near and nearly parallel to each other, abound
in minerals of the most valuable description, but owing to their
secluthel situation, and, above all, to the want of a cheap and easy
communication with the sea, have teen hitherto wholly neglected.
In order to supply this deficiency, and to open to the various
markets the vast resources which these valleys afford, the above
connecting lines of railway have been projected, and by them com-
munication with the port of Cardiff, Port Talbot, Porthcawl, and
every other port in the Bristol Channel, will be effected.
The length of the main line will be about 18 miles, and the branches
up the three valleys 16, making in the whole about 34 miles.
The branches will commence from Blaenogwr, in the vale of Ogwr
Fawr, from Blaenogwr, in tkat of the Garw, from Blaenogwr, in the
vale of the Ogwr Each, arid will concentrate at Bryn Cethin ; from
thence the main line formed by thisjunctioriwill pass by Llanharren,
and join the South Wales Railway near to the port of Carwdilliff.
has
The whole district of country thrnugk which the lines pass
already been surveyed by highly competent parties, and affords gra-
dients and levels of the most favourable kind. No heavy cutting,
expensive bridges, or embankments, will be required, so that the
cheap execution of the proposed lines is perfectly certain. There Is
on the spot abundance tf stone Anil other materials for the proper
execution of the works. The project is supported by powerful local
interests, and all the landowners who have yet been consulted have
given their sanction and approval.
The rising town of Bridgend and its neighbourhood will
be greatly benefited by the completion of this undertaking, and a
cheap and ready market be afforded for their manufacturing and
agricultural produce. It is intended to form a junction with the
South Wales Railway near this town.
The vales present sites for ironworks; and the establishment of
colleries on a large scale will immediately succeed the formation of
the road. Twenty-five miles of the line will pass through pro-
perty abounding in coal, ironstone, blackband, and limestone, all
which products have not at present the means of transit to any mar-
ket whatever.
It is confidently anticipated that the investments in this under-
taking will give a handsome return to the shareholders.
No subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his sub-
scription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall bo obtained the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of a Managing Committee, to
whom power will be given to allot the shares, and to apply the funds
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, and in the preparation of the plans and sections to be submitted
to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act to raise any additional capi-
tal, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines,
or enter into any arrangements, by malgamation or otherwise,
with any loth( r Company or Companies; and power is hereby given
romoters to nominate the Managing Committee

The importance et 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 tke intended railroad, the central points from which
various radii will diverge to the north-west, north, and north-east Si
the former, and to the 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.
The Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway, in addition to
the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of coramunlcation 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 projected line will bring the Cathedral City of Salis-
bury into immediate connexion with the City and University ot
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 press
anfairly 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 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 trafflo.
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 Stoventon, 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 juuc-
tion with the projection from Cambridge to Oxford, be produced,
through
Salisbur the towns which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgers
hall, to y, and thence to tke south and western ports and die.
tricts.
The survey is in a state of great forwardness, and will be com-
pleted in sufficient time to enable the Company to apply to Parlia-
ment in the next session ; and the promoters having received general
and most satisfactory assurances of support from the local gentry,
landowners, traders, and influential inhabitants, have reasonable
ground to anticipate the unobstructed passing of the necessary Act
for the formation of the Oxford and Salisbury Direct Railway during
the ensuing session.

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 point to which several other
projected railways converge, and will proceed through or near to
Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon, Evesham, Tewkesbury,
Lind Cheltenham, to Gloucester. The length of the line will be
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 railways, it will form a complete chain of railway com-
munication between the whole of the midland and north-eastern
counties of England, 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, the richly-productive and far-famed
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 resorts, instead of the present circuitous route through
Birmingham, affording that facility of intercommunication 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 ShaksPeare, 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.
At Tewkesbury it will also form a junction with the proposed line
from that place to Malvern, affording the most direct communication
to the numerous visitors to the magnificent scenery and invigorating
atmosphere 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 tea 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 interests 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 immenEe
sources of traffic from the whole of the eastern and north-eastern
counties, but will very materially lessen the distance between it
and Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire, 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 Severe, and the agricultural districts of Warwickshire and Wor•
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 throughmust necessarily be very extensive.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power to
traffic, which on such a line
amalgamate with any other company as to the whole or any part of
the line, and to vary or extend the line, and to increase or diminish
the capital accordingly, if deemed expedient.
The capital proposed to be raised is 1,000,0001., in shares of 207

. . . . . .
each, upon which a deposit of 21. 2s. per share must be paid upon
allotment.
The liability of the subscribers will be limited by tho 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
41. 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
line.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contract will
be required, to be duly executed when the bankers' receipts are ex•
changed for certificates of scrip, of which duo notice will be given ;
and the deposits paid by persons making default in due execution of
the Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract within the
time to be limited by such notice, will bo absolutely forfeited.
Forms of application for shares, prospectuses, and a map of the
line, may be obtained from the Solicitors, or the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, 28, Essex-street, Strand, London, or from
any of the undermentioned Sharcbrokers ; but no application will be
attended to unless accompanied by a reference to ono of the Provi-
sional Committee, the Solicitors, or a Banker;—

This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing (Ur •
way communicatima between the Important ports of nun, Great
Grimsby, and Southampton.
It is intended to sheet this desirable object by the construction of
a line of railwa, cotnmencing at sandg Grantham,
hail. L'ppingham, near to Rockingham Bothwell, and joining

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, Rtitlandshire, 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 Importance 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;
whilst Its value to the South Midland, the Northampton, Banbury,
and Cheltenham, the London and Birmingham Railway Companies,
and the projected lines south of Northampton (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 Grimsby,
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
Peterborough ; 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 railway.
The ground has been surveyed and found to be practicable, pre-
senting for the most part no engineering difficulties.
Satisfactory 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 make such extension and branches
as they may hereafter deem advisable.
The subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their sub-
scriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at thq rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH
The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the
possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to
all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house•
holder in the kingdom. From among numerous testmonials, the
ollowing is respestftilly submitted :
" TO .7(R. THOMAS PROUT, 29, STRAND, LONDON.
" 5, Cooper-street, Manchester, ;March 12, 1842.
Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL
OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of
many years' trial of ♦arious Aperient Medicines, I have never found
results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system
from redundant bile, &c., &c.. with so little inconvenience ; I am
therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means
ong wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and
especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource In an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated.
" I am, Slr, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
. . _

The unpreCedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re
commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengtheded comment necessary ; they are
not put fbrth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but
for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-known at-
tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals,
Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness,
Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.
Sold by T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. Price Is. I%cl. and 2s. 9d.

Sir,—For the last three or four years; I have been labouring under
a nervous dearness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your ebe•
client servant, W. 11. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Grimatone
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister with directions,
