The great importance of the abo e line of railway, not exceeding
G 4 miles in length, will be immedie it( dy seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough S tation of the South-Western' Rail-
way, crossing the Great Western 111 ie between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxfoe, .1 and Rugby line of railway at
Heyford, beyond Oxford, on the • route to Birmingham, accommo-
dating in its course, Bracknell, Sani ning-hlll,Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame,
Bicester, and many other places, at present without railway com-
munication.
It will form the most direct rovite from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by Vbe Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinbu rg h ; also from Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus •ening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also by the branch to- Oxford, in connexion with the
Cheltenham and Oxford line, f,r in the most direct route to South
Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhanap ton line to Worcester, and conse-
quently to all the central portion o: f Wales, thus forming the shortest
route to all Wales and Ireland. _

The length of this line will not exceed 64 niiles, and it will save an
average distance of 14 miles to e sh of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now- • traversed by the Great Wester's
Railway. It is satisfactory to at. ate that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is Vire least valuable of any is the coun-
ties through which this line is in to] Wed to pass, avoiding, as it does,
parks and ornamental property.
To the advantages offered t;o the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles In the transits to Lc radon, must be' added that of con-
necting them with the South-W'ect tern and the Reading and Reigate
lines, affording passengers an c 'pp ortunity of proceeding to South-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wi gb t, Dover, Brighton, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving much time and i no onvenience.
It will be seen from the foreg oU 1g facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great adval its ages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, a s it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketal de • products by opening another and
more direct route to London. it is not, therefore, too such to ex-
pect that, independently of a grc sa t local traffic, there will be also an
immense through traffic brougl rt on this line, which must pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital ; required. This is manifest, as the
construction of the line will n Di ` cost 20,0001. per mile, while the
London and Birmingham Railvr a] • cost 53,0001. per mile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to- p ay 15 per cent.
Shareholders in the Grand. Junction, Great Western, South
Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oat 'ord, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of char es after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide tha t n ,o call shall be made on the share-
holders beyond the deposit no• w ; paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power t% till be taken in the Act to allow four
per cent. interest on all calls in Ail the line be completed, which,
from the nature of the ground td be gone over, is not expected to
exceed two years.
The Committee have decided, In compliance with the suggestions
of landowners of great influence v. to form branches from the Theme
station on the proposed main lin co to Oxford and Aylesbury, thereby
establishing a direct commas tit cation between those important
places.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
This railway will run from the town of Louth, through Market
Rasen, to the town of Gainsborough, in the county of Lincoln, and is
Projected for the purpose of completing a direct communication with
the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool, and
thus affording to the rich grazing and agricultural districts of the
county of Lincoln a ready access to those important markets, and at
the same time a certain and speedy transit for manufactured goods
:Hid articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked, and therefore the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district, on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body of
gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.
A detailed prospectus and plan is in progress, and will be ready for
delivery iu a few days, with the names of a highly-influential Pro-
visional Committee of parties locally interested in the meantime,
applications for shares may La made, in the annexed form, to Messrs.
Coverdale and Lee, solicitors, 4, Bedford-row, Gray's Inn, London ;

citors, Louth ; Thollllls Oldham, Esq., solicitor, Gainsborough ; and
