ripcHE DIRECTORS of the LONDON CEN-
TRAL RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY cannot avoid
refel ring to the extraordinary decision come to by the Ilungerford
Bridge Company, repudiating a solemn contract made by their
Directors, and sanctioned by a recent general meeting. The Corn-
mittee of the Central Terminus Company are advised that not-
withstanding this decision, the contract is one which may be
enforced in equity. NeTertheless, 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
Scuthern Railways.

The geographical position of Worcester has caused its adoption as
the point where the broad gunge trunk lines of the west are to have a
Itommon 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 he
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
Be:valley. 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 takeit to Tiridgenorth, a town enjoying
an active inland trade, and possessing woollen manufactures and iron
works, that give employment te• a population of about 15,000. Pass-
ing through or near to Much Wenlock, Broseley, and Madeley, from
which pia& there will be a branch to Shrewsbury, the line ascends
Colebrook Dale, and approaching in its course Wellington and Wem,
enters Whitchurch. From this central place a branch will be formed
to Norwich via Stoke, forming a junction with the Liverpool and
Crewe Railway. The trunk list.l 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 wli:ch they are engaged. Amongst the latter may he 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 and
mines of iron ore in the vicinity of Colebrook Dale, Ironbridge, and
the districts to the e4t of Shrewsbury generally.
In calculating the tost 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.

At a Meeting of the ProviSiOnal Committee of this Company, held
in Carricks Royal Hotel, Glasgow, on the 17th instant, the Marquis
of Nreadalbane 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 Lothiwis Railway Company will proceed, op the 24th instant, to
make the allotment to the applicants in both Companies, and parties
applying for shares in the Glasgow and Monklaud Direct Railway
shall be held as acquiescing in this arrangement, who do not before
that date give Intimation to the undersigned to the contrary.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
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 how proposed to form a short and direct channel of inter-
course between Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected lines
now before the pulite 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 east, south, and west of the latter; and the
proposed Line from Cambridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the
cotase 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.

parts of England, will afford to the horouoi of Abingdon,
the market towns of Wantage, Bungerford, and Ludgershall, and
the adiOnt villages, an important railway accommodation, of which
the agricultural districts in they are seated stand in much
need, and will provide rtfitellity tier 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
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 liungerford and Ludgershall, claims a share of the profits
and advantages produced by railway traffic.

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, eaKward, to Warwick and
Northampton, Cambridge, Peterborough, Harwich, Lynn, Lincoln,
and Hull.

next. By order,

In consequence of the favourable reception of this measure by
many important landowners and others locally interested, a number
of whom have become Members of the Provisional Committee, and
the additional evidence of the great traffic, the Managing Directors
have resolved upon adopting a Double, instead of a Single Line, and
increasing the capital to 500,0001., in 25,000 Shares, of 201. each.
Applications for Shares, plans, prospectuses, and detailed informa-
tion, may be made at the Offices of the Company, No. 3, Alderman's-
walk, City, London ; at the Offices of the Company's Solicitors,

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 ait, hat 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, llungerford and Ludgers-
hall to Salisbury, and thence to thee south and Western ports and dis-
tricts.

(Pursuant to the Standing Orders of the House of Commons.)

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 strucNre of the districts to
be traversed is equally so, and that the want of such a line of com-
munication is acknowledged by the interests seated on its proposed
course.

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. Ehuslie and Preston, 47, Moorgate-street,

This short but important IinePROSPECTUS. of railway is intended to commence
at a point in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway, at or near to
Snareston, and to extend to Leicester.
It will thus furnish a link necessary for carrying on the traffic
brought to Leicester by means of the South Midlands, the Bedford,
and the PeterLorough Railways (all of which terminate at or near
Leicester), to the Staffordshire Potteries and the great towns of Lan-
cashire and Cheshire, and complete an unbroken line of railway, by
the best and nearest practicable route, from the various important
railway termini at Leicester to Manchester and Liverpool.
This great line of railway, it will be observed, traverses the finest
coal fields in the country, and embraces the towns of Burton-upon-
Trent, Uttoxeter, Cheadle, Leek, Macclesfield, Lane End, Stoke-
upon-Trent, and Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the important and
rapidly-increasing potteries of Swadlincote and Gresley, as well as
those of Staffordshire.
An inspection of the map will show that the jnnetion line now
proposed is essential for the accommodation of the public, and it can-
not fail to be exceedingly remunerative to the proprietors.
The undertaking has the cordial support of the Tean and Dove
Valley Railway Company.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to Shareholders
in that Company, and to parties locally interested in the line.
The capital of the Company will be 300,0001., divided into 15,000
shares of 20!. each ; a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid on al-
lotment, and each original subscriber must execute the usual Parlia-
mentary and Subscription Contract, or his shares will be forfeited.
Copies of the prospectus and map may be had from the Secretary
and Solicitors; and applications for shares must be made to the
Secretary only, accompanied by a reference to a member of the Pro-
visional Committee, a banker, or to one of the solicitors of the
Company.

Sliareholders in the Tean and Dove Valley Railway who apply,
will please to state the number of shares they hold in that Company.
Burton-on• Trent, Sept. 18, 1845,

This railway will commence at or near Didcot on the 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 districts, 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 dependeni 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 Fareham, Gosport, and
Portsmouth, and the whole eastern coast.
In addition to these immense district advantages, the line now
proposed confers on the whole kingdom the opportunity of reaching
the great national fairs of Weyhill, Appleshaw, and Ilsley.
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
great 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 Porttt •
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-
fied 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
of the company. No. 11, Bridge-street, Westminster; from the
