A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to run 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 to immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact • ity of connexion witlA.44 suburban localities ; necessarily affording it the greatest aanotianodation. With such important local resources, therefor e, together with the vast traffic on which the shareholders of this Company have; a right to rely - for profit, a large amount of itvenue may be fairly said justly anticipated, dilly commensurate with the outlay of the proposed capital. That revenue will be derived thus : The daily p issenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to 3,345, one-half of which reaches -the City: • The London. and Mr mingttam amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thir(s of which reach the City.- The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 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 Mt. Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. f-• From these sources the following products are derived Ann.

But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out- • weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the 31anclip.ster..and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London.. • • The distance from- Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of Junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47} miles: from Leek to Rugby, according to 'the line as proposed by The Man chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58' miles, and fism Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 1884, miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the. traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns. proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to-convince the minds Of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense.

Temporary Offices, No. 1, Royal Exch an g e Buildin g s . This undertaking is projected by influential local int erests to supply the requirements of the above important district ; and a reference to the map will show that it will also complete the communication be- Aween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac neill and James Thompson, Esq.', and the country is found to be fa • yourable to the construction of a railway; and there is, perhaps, no line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles ; and by Means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding twenty-five miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the Nottingham, Mansfield, and Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; thereby complethrt, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest route from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line-of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, froin the York and North Midland, near Methley, form the nearest line between Leeds, Nottingham, the Midland and South. ) ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted ornitiiimication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber. It will also forin a foils of communication with the several .dre jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby. It Is a remarkable feature in this lbw, that there is no competing scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen tialproperty. . - It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient of much :of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches with which it :is connected, and mus: also become the Grand Trunk Line - to London from the Western part of Yorkshire. By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di rectors to enter into such arrangements with existing Companies as may appear to them expedient. A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in their applications.
