STOCK OF FURS,
amongst which will be found the many varieties for which
the Columbia River, one of the most magnificent streams
in America, is so justly and so universally celebrated,—a

induces them to anticipate in future the same liberal re-
ward that past energies have so thankfully secured.
The mere title of the " Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting•by
its own waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts

JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.

PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED

CAPITAL, £2,500,000, in 100,000 Shares of £25 each
DEPOSIT, £2 12s. 6d. per Share.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE Line of Railway projected under the above-named
title, has been undertaketi at the suggestion of several
influential parties in South Staffordshire, Leicestershire,
Lincolnshite, Rutlandsbire, Northamptonshire, Cam-
bridgeshire, and Norfolk, as combining (without being a
competing Line with any Railway at present made) all the
advantages of *event' projected Lines, with additions of
no ordinary value.

It connects the important Manufacturing Towns of
Wolverhampton, Walsall, and Norwich together. Also
the Mineral Districts of Staffordshire, and Agricultural
Districts of Leicestershire and Rutlandahire, with the
Coast of Norfolk, and thus affords an easy transit from
the Midland Counties with the Kingdoms of Holland and
Belgium.

The Line will commence at Wolverhampton, and in its
course will pass near the Towns of Walsall, Sutton,
Kingsbury, Atherstone, Hinckley, Winston, Leicester,
Uppinghatn, Stamford, Peterborough, Wisbeach, Swaff-
ham, East Dereham, to Norwich, and, by a Junction
with the Norwich and Yarmouth Line, form the most
complete and direct communication from those Towns
with Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester, Manchester,
Shrewsbury, North and South Wales, and Ireland,
thereby securing a large Passenger Traffic, and the con-
veyance of immense quantities of Goods, Merchandise,
and Fuel, from the Mining and Manufacturing, into the
Agricultural Districts, and giving the Manufacturing and
Mining Districts a greater supply of Corn and Cattle, in
short, enabling the Eastern, Midlands, and Western
Counties of England to eNchunge their respective Manu-
factures and Produce, as well with each other as with the
Sister Isle, and enable the Midland Counties to receive
from the Ports of Wisbeach, Yarmouth, and Liverpool,
the imports from the Continents of Europe and America
at a much cheaper and speedy rate than can be done at
present. From these and other sources of profit, an am-
ple return to the Shareholders must necessarily arise.
The Surveys will be forthwith completed, and the ne-

The importance of connecting remote parts of England
by Railways, 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 intercourse between
Oxford and Salisbury. Numerous projected Lines now
before the Public will make Oxford at the north, and Sa-
lisbury 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 south
and west of the latter; and the proposed Line from Cam-
bridge to Oxford, continuing to that city the course of
Railway from the north-eastern parts of the island, re-
quires the appliance now suggested to effect a complete
'neaps of trau,it to the western and southwestern count►es.

The Oxford and W;lii;1;;;;131;;;CliailWaY, in addition
to the benefits which will be conferred upon the nation at
large, by perfecting a direct line of communicatioa 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 Ludgers•
hall, and the adjacent villages, an important Railway
accommodation, of which the Agricultural Districts, in
which they are seated, stand in much need, and will pro-
vide a facility for the interchange of produce between the
rural, manufacturing, and commercial population of the
kingdom. The projected line will bring the Cathedral
City of Salisbury into immediate connexion with the
City and University of Oxford, combining also the advan-
tage of a direct communication with the sister University
of Cambridge; thus strengthening the Ecclesiastical and
Academical relations of the whole, whilst the Commercial
prosperity of the two terminal Cities must of necessity be
essentially enhanced.
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 oppor-
tunities of competing with the snore fortunate traders of
those towns whi, h are already provided with direct chan-
nels of transit, are thus severely crippled. The same re-
mark applies in some degree to the market town of Wan-
tage, which, as well as Hungerford and Ludgershall,
claims a share of the profits and advantages produced by
Railway traffic.

It has therefore been determined to commence the pro-
posed line at Oxford, and to proceed through Abingdon to
the Station of the Great Western Railway, at Steventon,
thus giving to Abingdon a direct Railroad 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 junction with the projection from
Cambridge to Oxford, be produced, through the towns
which have been named, Hungerford and Ludgershall, I o
Salisbury, and thence to the South and Western ports
and district.
