SEczEXAßT—llixrryurr . ard Farnall, Esq, The Provisional, Committee of the North London junction Rail way Company 'nave great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiataOus are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of tho Thames Of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic north of London. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grouxd (the southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing the entire Fl:te, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the Capital of this Company to 1,300,08 01 . The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to se3nre 'within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and in.;)st complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway Companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be effected by opening the very extensive and 'valuable space of ground alluded to, within the centre of the City of London. In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail. ways, which reacts London lathe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a common centre within the heart of the metropolis. Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable line of railway. --.- A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throcgh which this Company proposes to rut this line; by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed iu immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact' ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily aCording it the ;greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have a right to rely for profit, a large amount of revenue may be fairly and justly anticipated, fully commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thircs of which reach the City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City. Passengars from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— Per Inn. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at 6d. each .... Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus of this Company, at 3d. each Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at present ..... • •• •• • • .••.••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • .. 187,929 142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s. 6d. per ton throughout. For the carriage of these goods and parcels, therefore, at tke reduced cost of 2s. 6d. per ton, a revenua may be derived of ... ..... From the carriage of goods, parcels, and mails, bringing in to the Eastern Counties Railway Company a revenue of 40,000 f. a year, may be derived the suns of 10,000 12,06 17,776 The total of their calculations amoants t 0.... £280,289 Deduct 40 per cent. for workers' expenses .............. 112,115 PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED.

The object of this railway is to connect, in the most direct course, the important and increasing manufacturing town of Leeds with the metropolis, the want of which has long been felt, and is too univer sally acknowledged to need any comment, and it is under this con viction that this Important undertaking, alter several minute exa minations of the country through which it will pass, has been brought forward. The proposed line will commence at the inaction of the . Manchester and Leeds, and York and North Midland Railways, near Wakefield, and will terminate by means of a junction with the Eastern Coun ties Railway, at Bedford (to which place it is the intention of that Company to extend their line in the ensuing session of Parliament), and by thus availing itself as far as possible of the existing railways, will complete the most direct and least expensive trunk line, from London to Leeds, York, and Hull. It will pass in its route within an available distance of Wakefield, Pontefract, Doncaster, Rotherham, East Redford, Nottingham, Newark, Grantham, Melton. Mowbray, Oakham, and Stamford. The importance of such a line is obvious, both from the nature of its Mlle (embracing, as it does, a most extensive population within its limns), as also from the absence of any direct communication for the conveyance of passengers and merchandise. By the construction of this railway, railway communication to London will be given to Peterborough and Leicester (by means of the Syston and Peterborough Railway), to Newark and Nottingham, (by the Nottingham and Lincoln line(, and to Sheffield and Gains borough, )by the Sheffield and Gainsborough line), by a much shorter route than by any existing railways. Independently of the advantages offered to the towns In the seve ral counties through which this line will pass, the line in itself, con sidered as a direct trunk line between London and Leeds, is sufficient to justify its formation, it being well known that the existing traffic between these two places•would produce such a retura on the capital required, as to admit of a dividend equal to that of any railway in operation; but when it is borne in mind that a company is being formed for the purpose of connecting Glasgow with ;Leads by means of a junction with the York and Carlisle Railway, no better line can be presented to the public, as it will not only effect a direct communication from Glasgow and the western parts of Scotland to London, but would also connect Edinburgh and the eastern parts Of Scotland, as well as Durham and Newcastle (by the York and North Midland, and Great North of England Railways) with the metropo lis, which would be considerably shorter than the accommodation offered by any other company ; and when cost of construction is con sidered, there cannot be a doubt but that preference would be given to the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway. The fact of the Eastern Counties Railway being connected by a branch line with the East and West India Docks on the river Thames, and the Railway Company having recently leased for 999 years the extensive pepper warehouses belonging to those docks, which are capable of receiving 12,000 tons of goods, together with wharik adjoining, where the shipment and trans-shipment of goods from all parts of the world can take pl ace, i s a mos t important fea ture in favour of the direct communic a ti on f rom the manufacturing towns of Glasgow and Leeds offered by th e G reat L e eds and London Direct Railway and, by branch ra il ways to t h e ma in trunk line, through which all goods from the man u f ac t u ring districts could be conveyed at once to these warehouses for shipment, thereby avoiding the present delay and expense of cartage, and in reality establishing an almost direct and invaluable connexion between the rivers Clyde and Thames. _ It has been ascertained that there are no engineering difficulties , that the w ,rks will be easy, and the gradients remarkably good, and that it will not materially interfere with any ornamental proPerty. The subscribers will be held liable only to the extent of their first deposits, until an Act of Parl:ament is obtained, and afterwards only to the amount of their subscriptions. It is proposed to take power in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls until the opening of the line, and also to extend the line to Hertford on the Eastern Counties line, in the event of that Company not prosecuting their line to Bedford.

The Committee of Management of this Direct Railway beg to ex press regret at the delay in issuing their Letters of Allotment, which has been solely occasioned through the unprecedented number of applications for shares to which they have been required to give consideration, and which has thrown upon them some very exten sive labours, from which, however, they are happy to say they will shortly be relieved, as the Letters ofAllotment are now in the course of preparation, and will all be sent to their different destinations by the evening post of to-morrow. The Committee also much regret their inability to make allotments to a very numerous amount of applicants of unexceptionable repute; but they have, in every in stance, endeavoured to arrive at their decisions hi a manner best cal culated to promote alike time interests of the public and the various shareholders and promoters of this very important project.

SECRETARY--IVllliaM Ranyard, Esq. The first of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply an important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding statio n of the N orwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holbeack Railsvays, the line will Proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid- land Counties Railway, an - almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and BirrninOiam by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leiester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the vropose4l lines acreiss tie counts' of L is e r, via Bur tun-Upon-'Trent, to Stallord, bring the i narlets of Lincoln, Norf o lk; Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will corm, with otter projected railways, au idmoet direct hue across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of the means of transit. Tile central midland districts leave felt greatly: the want of direct communication with the coast ; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the 'north at high prices ; it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland die tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River 'Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the income derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the lisle passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts leave been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. A Provisional Committee of gentlemen in now in !course of for mation, and will be published, with the prospectuses and plan, on Monday next. In the meantime, application for shares, in the sub joined form may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 4, Trafalgar-square, Charing Cross. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, net only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will be brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. la s i w i d t a l ea rro h n e g a n d, a p e a o a u tag ntr t y en, By this railway, which w ill b e about forty-four miles in leng th, and nearly roiki a gi level, a m it, Grantham, s intended Stoke,toluts by or near Roth ford, and Melton Mowbray.

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and, obtainable, for the most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those districts, of the very boot deseriptidn for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other, that the demand for it far exceeds the supply, and promises, accord ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of traffic alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested, as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other less promising volutes in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele brated fir the abundance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro ductions. An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu facture of Iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other line. This line will afford to the increasing population of the rick vales of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may be said to be almost excluded. It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass between the hills at Ffrwd Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the South Wales Railway, thus opening a communication under the most advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the Bristol channel. A preliminary survey has already bcan made by competent par ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable gradients, so much so that it is confidently anticipated that the works will be executed very considerably under the advertised ca pital. The landowners along the line are favourable to this undertaking, and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the Provisional Committee. No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount et his subscription. . _ Until an'Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to whom power is given to allot the Shall 8, 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 (and in the meantime is hereby given to the Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or otherwise, with any other company or companies, and Also to nomi nate the first Directors of the Company. In the allottment of Shares, a preference will be given to landowners on the line and other parties locally interested. Prospectuses and Maps may be had of and applications tbr Shares may be addressed in the form annexed to, W. B. James, Esq., Solicitor, 5, Basinghall-street, London ; to W. Morgan, Esq., Solicitor, Bridg,end, Glamorganshire ; and to the undermentioned Brokers ; but no appllcatio•i for Shares will receive the attention of the Committee, unless accompanied by a reference to one or snore of the Provisional Committee, Solicitors, or the Engineers: London—Messrs.

That it is highly desirable that railway communication be esta blished between Hounslow and London, and that it be as direct as the nature of the country will permit, and follow as closely as pos sible the old coach thoroughfare. Proposed by Major JELF - SHARP, seconded by B. J. ARMSTRONG, Esq., and unanimously resolved— _ . . . 2. That having heard and considered a statement of the course which the projected line of Mr. Page will take, this meeting is of opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the in terests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis. Proposed by JAleas IiIONTGOBIREY, Esq., seconded by Mr. KING, and unanimously adopted 3. That the'llne projected by Mr. Page is particularly entitled to the support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, for the following amongst other reasons :- 1. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this district. 2. That it follows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare froa Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames. 3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter minus from Millis/ink to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross, it presents a more convenient access to the metropolis than any other line. That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every as sistance in promoting the success of this line. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Henry Pownall, Esq., as well for his kindness in taking the chair, as for the ability with which he presided over the meeting. fIREAT WESTERN, BRENT FORD, and - CENTRAL TERMINUS JUNCTION RAILWAY. 0115ces, 53, Charing cross.

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap- Vicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested to accept this reason as the Committee's apology. The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters, the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwait e , are so f ar ad vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

By this Company it is Pioposed to supply railway accommoda tion, through an independent channel, to all the principal towns in Buckinghamshire, and to many in the other counties through which the projected line is to run, hitherto destitute of this now indispen sable mode of transit. The project known by the name of " The Buckinghamshire Rail way and Oxford and Wolverton Junction" is announced in their pro spectuS as being under the direction and superintendence of the Lon don and Birmingham Railway Company, as their lessees in perpetuity, receiving fur per cent. on the outlay, with a conditional arrange ment as to the surplus profit. From this arrangement it must be obvious to every one that the monopoly of the London and Birmingham Company, which it was a principal object to destroy, is more strongly secured than before, and the profits which would accrue to an independent line, after payment of the 41. per cent. interest, is virtually thrown into their hands. In addition to this, the arrangement to make use of the termini of the London and Birmlngliam Company, together with a considerable portion of their line, reduces the Buckinghamshire Railway in fact to a mere extension of the older ccmpany, and confers on the latter the means of absolutely and entirely controlling the traffic, and conse quently the profits, of the projected line ; so that the reservation as to the surplus profits in truth amounts to nothing. The adoption of the projected Buckinghamshire Railway by the London and Birmingham Company proves their consciousness of the necess'ty of a railway communication through the country proposed to be traversed; and to prevent a continuance of their monopoly, to secure both to shareholders and to parties locally interested the benefits of an independent line, the present Company has been formed, and has met a nth the strenuous support of many landed pro prietors in the counties through which it will pass, who have hitherto withheld their co-operation from the Buckinghamshire Railway Company for the reasons enumerated. The line will proceed through or near to Uxbridge, by the Valley of Chalfont, to Amersham and Wendever, and thence to Aylesbury, by Winslow, to Buckingham.. It will take a course from thence through Brockley and Banbury, by Leamington and Warwick, to Birmingham, having the advantage of being the shortest route hitherto proposed between Birmingham and London. Applic;itljns for shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the Company, or to Messrs. Edward Ellis and Co., Sharebrokers, 53, Theadneedle-street.
