The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the 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 ground (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 site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in crease the capital of thi s Company to ,300,000/. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure within] the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and most 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 aflOrd a direct communication between the whole of the rail ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give Rill 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 w th ll e l perfecta which the position of th e i r C ity terminus will ensure to this Com pany, will be added that oi s those companies also w ho w ill even t ually co-operate wits:, the North London Juncti on R a il way C ompany, and :al of a project of no ordi nary magnitude and importance P h e er e , c a ti lised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable lines','; railway. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district throcgh 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 in immediate commutication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation. With such important local resources, therefore, together with the vast traffic on whi c h the s h are h o ld ers 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-thiress 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. Passengers from the suburban districts r eac hi ng the City, now un. accommodated by any railway, are estim a t e d at 4,000 daily.

The Committee of' Management have the pleasure of informing their subscribers and scripholders that the Parliamentary purveys are now so far advanced akto warrant them in expreSsing their con viction that the great natio/fat and local benefits which will be con -ferred on the community by the construction of this line can hardly be overrated. They also take this opportunity of assuring them that it is their firm determination to proceed to Parliament in the very earliest part of the ensuing session for a Bill to enable them to carry out the line, and every necessary step has been taken for the accomplish ment of this object. The Committee of Management have had under their considera tion several proposals for alliance and co-operation ; bat as these would have necessitated some sacrifice of the groat principle of direct communication, they have not deemed it expedient to deviate from the original project. In order to carry out certain improvements and extensions, the Committee of 3lanagement have determined to increase the capital by the sum of 250,0001, in 10,000 shares of 251: eact. - upon which a deposit of 21. 12s. 6d. will be payable on or before the Bth day of October next, which new shares will be issued to the shareholders in the Proportion of one share for every four shares now held by them, provided application be made by them in the form and manner, and within the time hereafter specified. The Committee of Management have also to inform the share holders that, under the advice of their Parliamentary Agents, they have found it necessary to call for the further payment of 11. ss. per share on the shares already issued, to enable them to comply with the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, which require a deposit of 101. per cent. instead of 51. per cent., as hereto fore. The shareholders are, therefore, called upon to pay, on or before the Bth day of October next, the further sum of ii. ss. per share on the shares respectively held by them. All holders of scrip certificates or of bankers . receipts are re quested to forward the same to the Secretary, on or before the Bth day of October next, and to state at the same time their wishes in respect to new shares by letter in the form below. All holders of shares not originally allotted to them, falling to transmit their scrip certificates on or before the Sth day of October next, will forfeit the benefit of new shares ; and original subscribers failing, by the same day, to transmit their scrip certificates or hankers' receipts; will forfeit their right to an additional number of shares, Any parties wishing to withdraw will be entitled to receive the amount of the deposits already paid on their shares on giving up their scrips on or before the Ath day of October next. The importance of the execution of the Parliamentary deeds by respectable parties makes it necessary that the Committee of Ma nagement should reserve to themselves the right of returning the present deposit money to irresponsible holders of shares, should any present themselves.

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.

The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square,.hy this route, will be lit 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 *he expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan U le of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property aid 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 afiordlng 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 tie 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, &e., to the several railways which are interiected 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. 3d. From the Conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel, a'sd other commodities of general consumption, the great expense of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievvib The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man chester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Shiffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way at Gloucester. By this means It will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line from the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shifftial, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a Junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties, Staffordshire otteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, in addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Glodcester, Worcester, and Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. A branch will be made from New port to the important town of Wellington. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween tho two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplish e d, a t th e pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a junction line, connects itself with some of the most important rail ways in the kingdom: It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its Course Passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital required. There are no engineering difficulties In the country through which the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines between the same termiui. will be required. It will not i n t er f ere w ith any ornamental property, and no tunnel lingApplication is intended to be made, in th e ensu i ng sess i on of Par liament, for a direct line o f ra il way ( o f w hi ch a survey has been made) from Southampton tq Kidderminster, and by which a ready communication will be afforded to the most southern parts of England. The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and fhrther calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of the line. Prospectuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, can be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices of the Cenipany, 3, Abehureh-lane, London; from the Solicitors and Local Agents; also from the following Brokers, viz.: —Messrs.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are— Firstly ---The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor tant districts embraced by the line. Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre sent unprovided with that accommodation. Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and its ports, including that of Hull. Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of• Kettering, by which place all the companies compet ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south but also to the north.; At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market Raisen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby. By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail way at Market Raisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts and the town and port of Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:— Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that town and Market Rasen and Lincoln. From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its county town. The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will enter upon this line at Market Raisen and proceed thereon to Lincoln. From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the intermediate towns must pass over this line. In tLe event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoli to the south and west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not succeed, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakingham and Uppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but also to London. At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London, which shall be successful before Parliament. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the I very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The line will not interfere with any ornamental property. The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary tke route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca pital as may be necessary or advisable. Prospectuses-and plans will be ready for distribution in a few days. In the meantime, applications for shares, In the undermentioned form, may be addressed to the Secretary, 1, Moorgate.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, ateasham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Valley line. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with , railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also aom mand other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing bee tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln. and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and It must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be very great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about twenty miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about six miles. Being the shortest :route from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick; and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be about 28 miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country througk which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, it. tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.

The formation of a Company to carry into effect the continuation of a line of railway from Peterborough to Boston and Lynn respec tively, having been earnestly called for by a large body of wealthy and highly influential landowners and residents of the counties of Lincoln, Norfolk, and the adjoining districts, as being absolutely necessary to supply the wants of the country through which the line will pass, it is proposed to make a railway commencing at Peterborough, proceeding to Eye, and thence continued in two branches, the one passing by Thorney and Wisbeach to Lynn, the other passing by Crowland, Spalding, Pinchbeck, Surfleet, Gos berton, and Sutterton to Boston, thus making, by means of the Northampton and Peterborough, and the Syston and Peterborough Railways, a direct communication from these important towns and seaports with Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., and ultimately, by means of the London and Birmingham, and Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Railways, com pleting a direct communication with Gloucester, Bristol, a nd the entire west of England.

In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties locally interested. Applications for shares, in the form annexed, may be made to the Solicitors of the Company ; but all such applications must be accom panied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, or to persons of known respectability.

The great importance of the above line of railway, not exceeding 64 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map. It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden head, and terminates on the Oxford and Rugby line of railway at Ileyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagshot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame, Bicester, and many other places at present without railway communication. It will form the most direct route from London to Banbury, War wick, and Birmingham, amidby the Grand Junction Railway to Man chester, Liverpool, Laneaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica tion with Dublin. It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South Wales, Waterford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to 'Worcester, and conse quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to all Wales and Ireland. To the advantages offered to the above places, by saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, affording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adja cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis, thereby saving much time and inconvenience. The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and it will save am average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places, as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it does, parks and ornamental property. It will be seen from the foregoing facts that the formation of this line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de livery of their many marketable products by opening another and more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too much to ex pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also tut immense through traffic brought on this line, which must pay at. least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as the construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the London and Birmingham Railway cost 53,000/. per mile, upon which enormous outlay it continues to ray 15 per cent. Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, South Western, Oxford and Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton, and Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways will have a pre ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament shall bo obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which, from the nature of the ground to be gone over, is not expected to exceed two years. The Company reserves the power of forming a branch to Oxford, if found necessary. Application for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the following sharebrokers :—London Mr. W.
