The Provisional Committee of the North Loudon Junction Rat. 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 Lyndon. To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres ofgrouzd (the southern boundary of which is within 50g, 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 b., them to In crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001. The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance to secure 'within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and mast 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 tahe 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 wilt ensure to this Com pany, will be added that of thaw companies abo who will eventually co-opera' e 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 tut very valuab:e line of railway. A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the entire district through which this Company proposes to ran this Me; 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 commuelcation with the City ; while the dense popu latiox 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 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 3,245, one-half of which reaches 'the City. The London and Bir mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thire.s 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. Passenzars 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 Ana. Passengers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail way, at fid. each .. Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City teriuinus of this Company, at 3d. each . Omnibus passengers' . traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at present •••• • • • • .......... .. 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. Gd. per ton throughout. For the carriage of these goods and parcels, therefore, at the reduced cost of 2s. Gd. per ton, a revenue may be derived of ••• • • • From the carriage Of goods, parcels, and mails, bringing la to the Eastern Co:tales ithilway Company arevenue of 17,776 40,000/. a year, may be derived the sum of •••• • • • • 10,000 The total of their calculations amounts t 0.... £280,289 Deduct 40 per cent. for workers' expenses •• NTORTHAMPTON, LINCOLN, and HULL RAILWAY, commencing at Northampton, and proceeding by way of Kettering, Uppingham, Oakham, Grantham, and Lincoln, direct to Hull.

The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and the metropolis. 2. 'llin supply of local railway accommodation to the Important districts embraced by the line: 3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis cy tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of sOmile in length at present unprovided with that accommodation. 4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull. 5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South amplon by one continuous cha*n of railways. Commencing at she town of Northampton, in conjunction with the London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that town from the west, Mom Worcester and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingliam, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. Thu county lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly v.ithout existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but ,:lso to the north. From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to Hull. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated. They are,— Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southein and Western in addition, it will secure the very ins- I c' local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and itserttrainettand a intermediate o godiin7 and, In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining the'r Act of Parliament, then the drank from the before mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me tropolis, 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 further to Kettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Ketterin;, a distance of more than forty miles, anti including the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda tion, 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 Kette log this line will unite with that ene of the now com peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to London which shall be successful before Parliament. From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro visional Directors do not think it necessary, with refermee to the supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re munerative. The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very favourable gradients of by far the greate: portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles tile line will run upon a water level. The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property. The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia ment in the ensuing session. No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament, to allow interest at the rate cf 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the date of tie dr payment, and to limit the liability of each share holder to the amount of his subscription. The landowners on the line are favourable to the andertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great lirimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad visable. prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of the:, several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, o r t o th e fol lilvdlng Brokers, viz. :—Messrs.

In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of rail ways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre of intercourse, London, there are many wealthy and populous dis tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance. Such, for instance, is that between Re!gate and Windsor—a country unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a vast number of whom are coxne3ted more er less with mercantile pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of realh tng the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali ties. These considerations, weighty in themselves, but light in com parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and when it is considered that this lute of thirty miles will be the con necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally independent of its extensive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical, that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery in the present system of railway eAnmunication. There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction ; among wilier* may be named the London and Portsmouth Direct ; Epsom, Brighton, and Arundel ; Reigate and Reading; London, Staines, and Ascot; Direct London and Exeter, &c. _ The line is i tended to commence at the Reigate station of the London and Bri7,.....thTßailvtay, and passing through Reigate, I.letCh worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Box hill and Norbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of Fetch= and Stoke D'Abemon, and at the back of Claremont, the property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot, Windsor, Eton, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of the Great Western Railway. In addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., it will afford a direct and continuous railway communication for the accommoda tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London, Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximatingone- with the other her Majesty's five favourite residences, and avoiding the present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay clown the narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this railway is designed to connect. It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare- Merit, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also to forward the views of the Company. It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care fully selected. so that no ditliculties can Interfere with the completion of the line, and the land through which it will take its course is, on an average, considerably below the usual value of property ; and, lastly, having obtained the sanction ofth., most influential proprietors throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next ses sion.

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 proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than - any oilier line of rAilway- It across w t it heYarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to form, with from oter projected railways, an . almost direct line Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the w est. The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel- Una cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary ; t he lin e miles, is very from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve 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. The central midland districts have 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 dis tricts will olotain 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 line 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 have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders.

This railway - will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct line from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the • ost important and ra?idly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the Northampton and Peterborough Railway The line will proceed from,the Reading station of the Great Western . Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow, West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the richest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast supplies of liva stock and agricultural produce are constantly fur nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued direct to Blisworth and Northampton. From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a function with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended that a branch shall be formed from West 'Wycombe to the station at Slough, on the Great Wo_ktel n Railway I The proposed Um: with the branch will be about seventy-Ave miles in length, and it - has ban a - icertaincd that it may be constructed with unusual facility, ,vhilst, by means of the intended junctions with the Great Western !Ltd way at Faou - ,;11 and Reading, with the London and Birmingham Railway at Illisworth, and the Direct Manchester Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, etos. port, the, Isle of Wight, ;Southampton, .43edford, iittateseen, the Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu facturing and mining* districts of the north of England. The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing, as it will, a p..rtion of the counties of Merits and Oxford, the whole of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Yale of Aylesbury, adm uniting with the several completed or projected railways under mentioned, viz.:-- The London and Birmingham The Great Western The Southampten Union The South Midland The Midland Counties The Northampton and Leicester The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with The Direct Manchester it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the prop: ietors. The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by .ect of Par liament to the amount of their subscriptiohs, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls, front the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

This line is projeeted by several of the principal merchants and in habitants of the towns, and the owners and occupiers of land, through or near which it will pass. The object is not only to give to Stamford, Market Deeping, Crow land, and Long Sutton, the advantages of a direct railway to the port of Sutton-bridge, but also to atiord to Leicester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufhcturlng districts, a like communication, by means of the several projected railways proceeding from Stamford, Sutton-bridge Port, beside being the nearest on the eastern coast to Birmingham and the midland coun ties, has greater qualifications than any o th er p or t b e t ween Harwich and Hull. Advantageously situate with regard to the Wash, it is al ways accessible to vessels of the largest burden, while the ports of Boston, Wisbeach, and Lynn, at times are not so ; indeed, in winter the river, proceeding about eight miles beyond Sutton-bridge to IVisbeach, is altogether impassable. The trustees of Guy's Hospital, to whom a great part of Sutton bridge Port, as well as of the town, belongs, have determined to form a commodious dock and slip way, and to do everything requisite for affording the best and safest accommodation. The proposed railway .has their cordial support, and arrangements will be made to bring it as near to the docks as possible. A large portion of the traffic from the Baltic is already brought to this port, and the extensions and Improvements before mentioned will doubtless insure a very considerable increase, which, as well as the greater part of the traffic before carried on to Wisbeach, the proposed railway will convey inland to Birmingham and other important towns and districts before referred to, bringing in return every species of merchandise for exportation. To the rich and highly-cultivated land, and the extensive grazing grounds through or near which the line will proceed, it will be of great advantage, affording the means of conveying the produce to the manufacturing towns and districts, and giving a means of supplying their daily increasing population. A large return upon the capital may, therefore, be confidently anti cipated. Mr. Fulton, one of the Company's acting engineers, has reported that the country to be traversed is almost entirely level (being a portion of the Lincolnshire flats), and that the line can be made at much less than the usual cost. The necessary measures are proceeding to com ply with the standing orders, and the Bill will be applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament. The project, emanating from parties having the deepest interest in its success, has the strongest local support. The Committee raerve to themselves the power of making any deviations in the line, of increasing the capital, and of entering into such arrangements with the companies of other railways as may be deemed advisable. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest, at the rate of V. per cedt. per annum, upon the paid-up capital, until the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares the owners of property, and parties locally' nterested along the line, will have a large pioPortion: Ap plicants not locally interested, or not known to a member of the Committee, must refer to some respectable broker, banker, or solicitor. Applications for shares may be addressed, in the form annexed, to the secretary; at the office' of the solicitors, Messrs. Walker and Gridley, 5, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury-square ; to the local agents above stated ; and to the following stock and sharebrokers, of whom plans and prospectuses may be obtained :—Mr. IL Haigh ton Wilkins, 4, Bank-chambers, Lothbury, London ; Messrs.
