the want of falitfak" itedoisiinixialloili lino Iting been felt to press

Abingdon. Their ineans and opportunities of competing with the more
fortunate traders of those towns which are already provided with di-

appliee in elite degree to the Market Writ of Wantage, which, as
well as Itunorditd and tildgefshall, elitline d snare of the profits
and advantages produced by railway Mille.
It has therefore been determined to commence the proposed line at
Oxford, and to proceed throttgh Abingdon to the station of the Great
Weston* Thiiivvity thus giving to Abingdon a direct rail-
road to London. By continuing the projected railway to ',Vantage, the
seine facility of transit to London will be afforded to that place; and
a perfect lino of rood frara 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, Ilungerford and Ludgers-

Tice titlo of this line sufficiently and correctly explains tile object
of fife thidertaking,
The Hirrillitteliftili terinlatte will be placed in communication with
all the other railways having et station in that town, and will be
, brought as near as practicable to its centre. Proceeding thence in a
northerly direction, and on the west side of the Lichfield road, it will
rate short distance of Sutton Coldfleld, and to Lichfield, at
the lattef cif Whitt pieces there will be a tatlon in communication
with the projected Walsell Midge
Thence crossing the Trent Valley, near King's Bromley, it will
pursue the course of the Blythe Valley, or by or near to Abbots
Broader to Leigh, where it will leave the Blythe Valley, and by a
shell etittirlff reach the Teams station on Remington's London and
Manchester line fit the junction of the Crewe branch, or by a junc-
tion with whichever of the projected lines to Manchester may be
adopted by Parliament.
-The entire length of the new line to be made Will not exceed
thirty-four miles, mid the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections ofa great portion of the line have been made, and the ex--
tire Paciainentitrs survey will be completed by the 9th ofOctober.
This railway will afford a route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, awl Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the POtterieft than any Bile made or projected by several
assuming any or the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at (Awhile on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junetiell Reilvetly, thus giving to Manchester, and a:so the Pot-
teries, the shortest, eriseeet, tied most direct route to Birmingham.
It will also give the nearest line between Huddersfield and Birming-
ham and Southampton.
This railway crosses the projected Leeds and Huddersfield and
Wolverhampton Direct Railway. In the Blythe Valley a station will
be placed, and communication effected, so as to afford to Birmingham
the Shoftest route by many miles, with Leeds, Huddersfield, Sheffield,
and the northern parts of England. In allotting shares every legi-
timate preference will be given to the landholders on the l'ne.
It is obvious that the projected line will afford an awiple return to
the shareholders.
For prospectuses, shares, and every information, apply to the
solicitors, W. Arnold Bainbrig,ge, Esq., Uttoxeter ; or at the Offices
of the COtnpany, No. 1, Moorg ite, London.

This railway will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct
line from Reading, in Ilerkshire—one of the • ost important and
raaidly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and Peterborough Railway
The line will proceed lacana he Reading station of the Great Western
Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow,
West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the
richest and moat fertile districts of England, from whence vast
supplies of live stock and agricultural produce are" constantly fur-
nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued
direct to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to WellingbOrough, and forms a
Junction with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at
Slough, on the Great Western Railway .
The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-ilve miles
in length, and it has been ascertained'-that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with
the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Illiswarth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at 'Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desiralde
railway communication will he op tined beLgaeau Portsmouth, tf;os-
