At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brentford, blsworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis, and the Gazette notices were actually published; but the difficulty of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their scheme beibro the public. This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed dlreetly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways, which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country without interruption. . _ By the Intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway, as or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham Bailway at Kensington, these important lines will be supplied with direct woes to the Central Terminus. and thence to the City, or to the Southern and Eastern Lines. . . -- --- The proposed line, which passes through or near the extensive and populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Bromptou, Kensington, Ham mersmith, Chiewick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford, and thence to Isle worth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great Majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested.

LOCAL AGENTS. It appears that England will be iiv7ci«.7nongitudinally by four great lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and oblique, opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis tricts, with packet stations, and with sea-port towns. The more easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and eambridge, may he said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible. The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere wash Vale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing stoke. The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it traverses nearly in a right line the least populous and most undulating parts of Gloucester, Berke, Wilts, and Hants ; and, properly speaking, has A independent terminus. _ artlarget longitudinal section of the kingdom—the West Midland concentrated local di c —a district inviting a similar species of accommodation from trunk line ; t w edventages, still remains unprovided with a chief Mid land, ➢iancheeter, and as c ord-on-Avon, present undertakin a line through or near to Strait contemplated to remedy this deficiency by the a northern terminus of the West Mid- Adopting Birmingham a iburth longitudinal line. pton Railway, it is proposed to carry Stow, Northleach, Fairford thence between Moreton, merge in the South and Midlands and Swindon, where it will The length of the proposed lin ' Junction Railway. district traversed by it is gently a I be about sixty miles, and the its southern terminus, Swindon adulating and densely pled Al and Midlands, by means of w hi c h 1 ni " identical peopled. • - with the South tion hitherto suggested with ti., tL , I r pons a mo st direct communi Christ church, Poole, and Southampton.

If it b- nesirab:e that the terminus of every railway should be situated at some commercial or populous place, in this re spect the present project is peculiarly fortunate. If Government he resolved on countenancing the shortest and most direct lines, it will be seen, by laying a rule on the map of England from Salisbury to Manchester, that a course due north and south between these places will pass very nearly through the towns mentioned in this prospectus, as being on the proposed line ; and actual measurement has shown this line to be the shortest between Southampton and Manchester by 26 miles. By the construction, therefore, of little more than 60 miles of rail, as here proposed, the shortest, most direct, and convenient communication between Manchester and Southampton will be es tablished--a line, also, however superior in position to others pro mising similar advantages, may yet be considered as competing with none, but as an independent work, originating at Birmingham and terminating in the seaports of Weymouth, Christchurch, Poole, and Southampton.

To afford the very important division of the Kingdom the benefits of railway communication, and to promote and stimulate the pro gressively increasing pastoral, agricultural, and commercial, improve ments, which of late years have made such rapid strides in these counties, it is proposed to form, under the sanction of the most influential patronage, a railway by the most direct practicable route, to connect these northern and producing districts with the southern and consuming portions of the empire. Adopting the line which may be found the shortest to Dingwall consistent with a due regard to economy in its execution and work ing, and to the rights and interests of private parties, and from Ding wall by Novar to Bonar-bridge, the distance of the county of Suther land from Inverness would be many miles shorter than by any other route. From Bonar the line would pass by Lairg, through the valleys of the Brora and of the Frie, and by Strath Helmsdale to the Thurso water; thus nearly bisecting the county of Sutherland through its length and passing into the most populous parts of Caithness, diverging to the right and left to Wick and Thurso. A branch might be formed to connect the coast of Sutherland with the trunk line. In Ross-shire a branch would be formed from the main line to In vergordon, and this branch might be extended to the burgh of Tain. Arrangements are being made for having the lines (the courses of which are but generally indicated above) carefully examined by ex perienced surveyors and engineers ; and as soon as data which may be relied on have been matured, a full prospectus, with the names of the promoters and Provisional Committee and detailed particulars, will be published. Disantime communications from parties interested in the proposed undertaking may. up to the Ist of October next, be addressed to William Mackenzie, Esq., of Muirton, W.S., by Dingwall ; Hugh Innes Cameron, Esq., Provost of Dingwall ; G. S. Taylor, Esq., Golspie ; Peter Wilson, Esq., W.S., Town Clerk of Wick ; M. Snody, Esq., Thurso ; or to Messrs. Cameron and Bain, IS, Parliament street, London.

This Company was constituted on the 28th of August, 1845, according to an Acte de Societe, passed before M. Bendier, Notary at Paris. Its object is the construction of one of the most important lines of railroad hitherto projected in France, and perhaps on the whole continent. A reference to the map will mate it sufficiently apparent that, although short in itself, this line will connect, by means of the Paris and Lyons, and other French railroads, the Atlantic and Mediterranean ; as well as France, England, Belgium, and Holland with Switzerland and Italy ; and will thus complete the great Trunk limo of commu nication between the West and South-East of Europe. The length of the line is 120 kilometres, or 76 English miles; it branches off from the Great Paris and Lyons Railroad at Macon, situated half way between Chalons-sur-Sayone and Lyons, at a dis tance of about 70 kilometres, or 27 English miles from each of those places, and passes through Bourg, the principal town of the depart ment De l'Aain, and by Nantua to Genera. It had been originally intended to select either Lyons or Chalons sur-Saone as the starting-point on the western extremity, but Macon has been ultimately adopted, as the only one likely to provide the desired accommodation for the traffic, both from the north and south, so that no apprehension need be entertained of any opposition line being started from either of the above points. The Council of the city of Geneva has lately caused the different projects for connecting its territory with the Paris and Lyons Rail road to be carefully examined, and has given its decision in favour of the Macon line ; it has moreover been universally approved of by the highest authorities in France, as being the shortest and most economical, and the one answering the wants and requirements of all parties. It is needless to speak of the immense number of travellers con tinually pouring into Switzerland, which are increasing annually, and which, no doubt, will be doubled when railway accommodation is provided for them, and when this road, as it must, becomes the main road to Italy and the East. It may, therefore, be safely as sumed that the passenger traffic will be more considerable then on any other line in France. With regard to merchandise, the following brief statements will demonstrate its importance. From correct statistical reports, it appears that the Imports during the last year from France into Geneva amounted to -13,289,1118 kilogr. merchandise 2,439,000 litres of liquids, and 4,172,000 litres of grain and the exports to— 5,654,522 kilogr. merchandise The former consists principally of corn, wines, oil, salt, iron, soap, glass, yarns, cotton, manufactured and colonial goods ; and the latter of wood, cattle, cheese, produce of the mountain soil, and the nume rous articles of Geneva industry. Besides the increase which the facilities of railway transit will, as in all cases, naturally produce upon the commercial intercourse between France and Switzerland, it may also be considered that the 60,000 bales of cotton which arc annually imported into Switzerland via Trieste, or from Liverpool up the Rhine, must in future pass through Marseilles, up the Rhone and Saone, to Macon ; that the produce of Italy will take the same route ; that Swedish irons, which now reach Geneva by an expen sive land journey through Metz, will be conveyed, with consider able economy, by the French canals and the river Saone, to Macon. This line therefore will have the advantage of advantage of adding to its own, a new and most important traffic, Withdrawn from oiher channels of communication.' Without entering into further details, which it would not be deemed prudent to publish at the present moment, the facts which have been stated will be amply sufficient to show the immense advantages of this railway, which is held in the highest estimation by capitalists and parties interested In railway matters, both in France and Swit zerland, and supported by the most influential proprietors of the dis tricts traversed, as well as the local authorities. Negotiations are pending, and likely to be brought to successful issue, between this Company and the Swiss Government, with regard to an extension of this line to Lansanne and Yverdun, which will connect them with the remainder of Switzerland and Germany ; and should this important concession be gained, a preference in the allot ment of shares will, of course, be given to shareholders in this Company. . . _ The capilal of the Company has been fixed at 60,000,000 of francs (or '2,400,0001.), of which 25,000,000 francs (or 1 ,000,0001.), are to be subscribed for in England. The English capital is divided into 30,000 shares,of 201. each, upon which a deposit of T. is to be paid on allotment. One month's pre vious notice will be given of all subsequent instalments, which are not to exceed 21. each. In case a lease of the line shall not be granted to this Company, the deposits will be paid back without deduction, but without interest. The English Provisional Directors will be responsible only for the deposits paid in Great BritainZand the French Provisional Directors only for those paid in France. By the statutes of the Company, all powers necessary for its due government, and the protection of the interests committed to their care, are given to the Direetors ; and the act of subscribing the Ap plication for Shares is, in itself, an acquiescence in such Statutes on the part of the Subscribers. The Company will be constituted a Societe Anonyme, according to the laws of France, by which it will be governed ; the responsibi lity of the Subscribers being thereby limited to the amount of their Cpteheehresafrpc;eetsiv;e subscriptions. The liability of the original Subscribes/ will extend only to five-tenths of the amount of their subscriptions ; and when that proportion is paid up, the shares will be legally transferable, and the original Subscribers discharged from farther liability. The Shares will boar interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum (in lieu of dividend) on the amount paid up, from the date of the Royal Ordonnance of concession, until the opening of the 1 1 whole line. After the opening of the line, a sufficient amount will first be retained out of the net profits of the Company as a sinking fund, and, after allowing an interest of five per cent. on the Shares, the surplus will be divided in the following manner :-18-20ths among the Shareholders, and 2-20ths to the Directors. The Provisional Directors are invested with hill powers to treat 1 with the Government for a lease of the Railway, upon such terms as they, in their discretion, shall consider beneficial to the conditions and and duration Company ; to tender for such lease either by public or deposit the the th s e arne cA ; the deposit of the caution-money ; and to bind the Comany to the private to con a t i r g ae n t a ; nd t d o e f; ance of the terms and conditions imposed by the Cahier des and to approve and sign the Acte de Societe, and all other ne cessary documents; to make any treaty, arrange men t, or coalition with other Companies, and to reduce proportionately the n um b er of i shares ; to alter or dissolve the Comany, due regard being had to th e of the shareholders ; and generally to take such meas u r es as they may deem expedient and may require, in order to secure the con cession of the line upon the favehrable terms. _ No applications for shares will be attended to unless aecompanlied by a first-rate reference. Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 73, Basinghall-street, London ; to the Solicitors ; or to the following Brokers and Agents : London—Messrs.

At Truro At Penzance At Falmouth The object of this line is to effect a direct communication between London and the Land's End. In a national point of view such a line is indispensable. With the advantage of a direct railroad, Falmouth, from its situation at the western extremity of the kingdom, would undoubtedly long since have been the principal port on that coast. With the advantage of at least 280 miles of heavy road, that place has attained its high po sition as a Packet Station. Southampton, with far less natural ad vantages, has, since the opening of the South-Western Railway, in creased its imports from 200,0001. to 3,000,000/. per annum. At Bris tol, before the opening of the Groat Western Railway, the imports were declining ; si nce th en they h av e very considerab l y increased. The merits of a li ne t o th e L an d's End as an I nvestment for m ca pital, it was no t l e ft to the present Company to discover. Th e G reat Western and Bristol an d E xe t er Railway having already readied Exeter, it has b een i n contemp l a ti on to extend that line to Fal mouth by way set on foot on th e conv i ct i on that Falmouth mu st be reached b y railway. of Plymouth; and various ot her p rojects have been The object of thi s p ros p ec t us i s to show that no o ther line than the ?resent can ultim a t e ly sa ti s f y th e exigencies of the country in regard to this, its most important eutport—" the n atural Packet Station of the empire." The present project is distinguished by this—that it is direct. It is as nearly as possible a straight line from London to the Land's End. The London, llath, and Bridgewater Company having amalga mated with this Company, the immense local influence commanded by them will now contribute to the great national object of a direct line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffic and afford ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company. The Direct Western availing itself of the Groat Western Railway so far as Reading, pursues its course by or near Newbury, Hunger fbrd, Great Bedwin, Marlb or ough, Devizes , th e manufacturing dis trict of Trowbrid ge (f rom w hi c h a diverging lin e will be carried by Bradford direct to Bath), Westbury, Frome , Sho p ton Mallet, Wells (from which another diverging line will be taken to Bridgewater), Glastonbury to Taunton, being shorter by about thirty-two miles than any existing rail ways between these points, and without a tunnel. From Taunton the Bristol and Exeter Railway (now leased to the Great Western) is traversed to Tiverton, whence it is proposed to carry this line direct to the Land's End, Falmouth, St. Ives, and Penzance, being shorter by about sixty miles than the lately proposed line by way of Plymouth, an d effecting, in the whole distance from London to Falmouth, a saving of about ninety miles. With respect to the traffic on the upper portion of tho line it Is liitC4lo3ll to sny more than that there is already thareugh traC dent to instify the construction of this portion of the Direct Wes tern : that it will shorten the distanc , from London to Tiverton nala,s that it will traverie rich and popr.loas acuklutural cc'l - 1, - ,nanteturing dic - ri,M and arrive , well from railways now in course of construction as from ethers pro jected, with every chance of success. As to the traffic on the lower portion of the line, it is evident that the vast number of merchant vessels continually detained in the Channel by adverse winds, would effect an immense saving both in insurance and time, by discharging their cargoes at Falmouth, and at once transmitting them to their destination by means of this railway; and therefore—without speculating on the extent to which the ports on either side of the great promontory of the Land's End may, by means of this railroad, attract the commerce respectively of Bristol and Southampton ; to what extent the inexhaustible mineral wealth Of Cornwall, and the unrivalled agricultural resources of Devonshire may be further developed, or the genial climate of Penzance and Mount's Bay, " the Montpellier of England," attract a larger propor tion of winter visitants—it is obvious that this line will command a traffic both in goods and passengers, from its western terminus, the amount of which may be said to be without limit. A glance at the map will make It manifest that no competing trunk line can ever be established between Tiverton and the Land's End. As between Taunton and Reading, an inspection of the map will show a vast ex tent of midland district, comprising rich and populous parts of So mersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Wiltshire, now altogether destitute of railroad accommodation. Recurring to the features of this project as a national work, one of the greatest in point of magnitude, of vital importance in the event of war, and of almost incalculable advantage to the general and packet commerce of the kingdom; it 'may not be out of place to quote here the following expressions of Sir Robert Peel. speaking of the project of a direct line from Loudon to 4 ,p00l through the Trent Valley, which bore much the same rola to the Birmingham and Grand Junction that this bears to the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter Railways, he is reported to have said :—" I consider that the com munication between the metropolis and the great outports to be not a question of hours, but a question of minutes." Of the necessity of this particular line, Parliament has already expressed an opinion ; for in the report of the Committee on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was promoted by the Great Western Railway Company, it was stated that that Company had been required to pledge itself not hereafter to oppose a direct line to Falmouth ; and it may be further observed, that a proposed line from Plymouth to Falmouth was last session rejected, on the ground that it might be supposed to interfere with that great national object. _ _ The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and cc rre •t estimates of the expenditure and returns aro in a state of for rdne3 4, and the whole will be ready for the next session of Par liament. It is sufficient, as to these points, here to state that there are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases ; that the first portion will be constructed at an unusually small expense ; that the undertaking will meet with the cordial support, concurrence, and co-operation of the landowners, and that the Directors are justified in asserting that this will prove to be one of the most remunerative railways iu the kingdom. Powers will be taken In the Act of Parliament to allow interest at four pounds per centum per annum chn the deposits, and preference in the allotment of shares Will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and is the shareholders in the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and other railways connected with the Direct Western district.

STANDING COUNSEL—Jacob Waley, Esq., Lincoln's Inn Boucrroa.s--Messrs. Keddell, Baker, and G;ant, 84, Lime-street. 'CONSULTING ENGINZEIt—P. Prickardly, Esq. SacirrAar —F. Kirkham Fowell, Esq. Offices of the Company, 37, Moorgate-street. The present Company has been formed for the construction of a line of railway from Madrid to the city and port of Valencia, the most central seaport on the Mediterranean. It will open out the re sources of an extensive district of country, eastward from the capital, remarkable for the richness and fertility of its soil, the varied abun dance of its productions, and the commercial spirit of its inhabitants. This railway is authorised by a special ordinance of her Majesty the Queen of Spain ; and from its vast importance as a national route of intercommunication her Majesty has been pleased to accompany the grant with all the privileges and immunities which the Crown is empowered to confer upon a railway compaay. Amongst these may be enumerated— I. A lease of the line and of its branches for 99 years. 2. The gratuitous grant of such Government and corporation lands as may be required for the railway. 3. The free use of all timber, the property of the state, that may be necessary for the works, or for other purposes. _ _ _ 4. The exemption for ten years, "to 'be computed from the com mencement of the works, of all import duties on the machinery, rails, and other articles requisite for the completion of the railway. b. The entire exemption from all national and local taxes that could otherwise be levied upon the railway, works, or buildings of any description, and upon the capital represented by the shares. 6. The Government is not to interfere with the Company's tariff of charges for the space of forty years from the completion of the works ; and no revision thereof is to take place on the expiration of that period that can sink the profits below 15 per cent. T. The line is to be classed, by a special law, under the title of a " work of public utility," and as such to enjoy the royal patronage and protection, and all the peculiar privileges attached to important national undertakings. The proposed line, thus largely endowed, is about 240 miles in length, being upwards of 150 miles nearer the capital than the ports of Cadiz and the north coast of Spain, and generally nearer than any other port in the kingdom. Although it has not yet been minutely surveyed, it is well known that there is no similar district of equal extent in the kingdom which presents so few engineering difficulties. For upwards of 80 miles the line will traverse the almost level plain of Valencia ; and emerging from the boundaries of the province, it will follow as nearly as possible the course of the rivers which flow east and west from the central plateau in the province of Cuenca, and approach Madrid by the valley of the Manzauares. The line will either pass through or accommodate the most important towns in the two provinces, which will thus he brought into rapid com munication with the capital on the one side, a seaport on the other. This railway will be the means of supplying Madrid, containing 300,000 inhabitants, entirely dependent for provisions upon the con tiguous provinces, at a cheap rate, with the rich products of the pro vinces of Valencia, which abounds in most valuable mines, and is beyond comparison the most fertile district of Spain. Valencia, brought by this communication within ten hours' dis tance of the chief market of Spain, must necessarily become the port at which all vessels with supplies for the metropolis will unload, and the centre of the coasting trade along the whole sea-line from Barcelona to Gibraltar. _ _ . ..,... The traffic in passengers and goods now existing between Madrid and Valencia has been correctly ascertained, showing the following results : The annual number of passengers travelling between Madrid and Valencia, and the intermediate towns, is upwards of 42,000 ; but taking that number at the present cost of conveyance by stage coaches, private — carriages, galeras, and waggons, the amount will be 07,800 The annual weight of goods conveyed between the two cities and the intermediate localities is 4,900,000 cwt., from which the return is estimated at .. 1,223,400 £1,291,200 Assuming that two tfths only of the existing charges become a source of revenue to the railway, and that the tariff be reduced considerably below the State tariff of Belgium, there will be deducted .. ~ 752,320 Remains • . .. • . /538,880 Supposing that the present traffic will only be doubled by the railway, although experience has proved the increase to be equal to 300 and 400 per cent., there will be added .. .. .. • • 538,880 And add £1,077,760 For the transport of troops, military stores, &e., which the Government will substitute for the conveyance by waggons .. 50,000 25 per Cent., at the least, for the Alicant traffic .. 215,952 41,343,712 From which deduct nearly 50 per cent. for maintenance of way, Scc... .. .. .. 00 00 00 671,856 Leaving a net profit of Or of nearly 28 per cent. upon the capital. JN571,856 The capital now propoied to be raised has been estimated, by competent authority, to be amply sufficient for the completion of the railway, including stations, a double line for rails, and the working plant. The royal ordinance authorises the erection of an electric tele graph along the line, which will answer the double purpose of placing the railway under the special protection of the Government, and closely uniting it with all the railways that intersect the kingdom and have their common termini in Madrid, to which capital maritime and mercantile information from the Mediterranean can be instan taneously communicated. One-third of the shares are, by the terms of the concession, con• ceded to Spain. The locale of the Company will be in Spain, and it will be framed on the principle of a eompania anonima, agreeably to the commercial *ode of that country. _ The affairs of the Company will be conducted by a Board of Di rectors in London, assisted by a highly influential Committee in Madrid. The remuneration to the Directors will be made in ac cordance with the plan usually adopted in continental railways, and that to the Concessionaires consists of a mere contingent interest in two-twentieths of net profits, after five per cent. shall have been se cured to the shareholders. _ A deposit of 21. per share is payable on allotment, and no future call will exceed 21. per share, of which two months' notice at least will be given. _ Applications for shares, according to the subjoined form, to be ad dressed to Messrs.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon don and York Railways. The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill, Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon, Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton, Chinford, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap ton, HighburY, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Heaton, Homerton, Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalaton, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch, Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith, BromPton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames. The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be 15 miles. The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9% miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6 miles. There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow the valley of the river Brent to the Intended station at Barnet ; thus the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property axd large collections of houses and buildings. Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses, will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad rupled in value. _ _ . The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too, will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of the trunk lines now contemplated. An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources, amongst others : - 1. From the conveyance of passengers. 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and Docks, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this line, avoiding 'the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly during the period of the large Barnet fairs.
