Commencing at the 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, 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 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 Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln. The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo dation, not only to the south, but also to the north. From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi cable course to Hull.__ SEcarreitY—Harry Burrard Farnall, Esq. 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 tragic 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 en purchasing the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by 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 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 C•unties 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 reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give full development to each of their schemes by creating fir 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. The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated. They are,— Slatting 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 Southet n and Western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and the intermediate towns. In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic 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 ffirther toKettering or Northampton. The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of more than forty miles, and 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 t. the west but also to London. . 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 ia immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu lation of the City will enjoy a factity 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 revenae 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-thirds 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 reaching the City, now un accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily. From these sources the following products are derived:— At Kettering this line will unite with that •ne 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 reference :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 greater portion of the line ; indeed, for many miles the line will run upon a water level. The lice 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 of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from the date of their 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 undertaking. The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex tend the proposed line of railway to Great Vrimsby or elsewhere, and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad visable.

This railway will form, as nearly as may be practicable, a direct line from Reading, in Berkshire—one of the ost Important and rapidly 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 live 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 junction 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 Western Railway The proposed line with the blanch will be about seventy-five miles in length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, dos port, 04 Isle of Wight ► outhempton,. Bedford, Ihuithieclon, the Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcast`e end Berwick, and wjth the great manu facturing and mining districts of the north of England. The numerous parishes and districts which will b traversed by the line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passim, as it will, a portion of the counties of Eefifs and Oxford, the whole of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, ::en uniting with the several completed or projected railways under mentioned, viz.:— The London and Birmingham The Great Western The Southampton Union The South M:dland The Midland Counties The Northampton raid 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 proprietors. The liability of the shareholders will he restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of their subscriptio,s, and power will be ap plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all calls; from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

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 Reigate and Windsor—a country unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a vast number of whom are connected more er less with mercantile pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of reash ing 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 hne 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 communication. There arc many lines now in contemplation which will afford additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction; among whid t may be named the Landon 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 Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Retch 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'Abernon, and at the back of Claremont, t he 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 b e tween Windsor, London, Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with the other her Majesty's live favourite residences, and avoiding th e present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down 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 mont, 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 fnllY selected. so that no difficulties 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 ofthe 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 BM to incorporate the Company early in the next ses - Sion.

Sharpe, Esq. solicitor. Stamford--James Atter, Esq. solicitor. This line is projected 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 afford to Leicester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufacturing districts, a like communication, by means of the several projected railways proceeding from Stamford, Sutten-bridge Port, beside being the nearest on the eastern coast to Birmingham and the midland coun ties, has greater qualifications than any other port between 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 Wisbeaoh, 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 11111 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 reserve 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 4/. per cent. per annum, upon the paid-up capital, until the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares the owners of property, and parties locallyi nterestcd along the line, will have a large proportion. Ap plicants not locally Interested, or not known to a member of the Committee, must refer to seme respectable broker, banker, or solicitor. Applications for shares may he addressed, in the form annexed, to the secretary ; at the offices of the solicitors, Messrs. Walker and Gridley, 5 , Southampton-stre..t, Bloomsbury-square; to the local agents above stated ; and to the folowing stock and sharcbrokers, of whom plans and prospectuses may be obtained :—Mr. R.

SECRETARY—WiIIiam 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. — Foiilleneing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and nolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondham, t o a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of p r e ai te l r w bo ayn g e h an arM d a elt i o i n.. Mowbray, thus farming, by the Syston and Peterborough land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. t or l e 'h en e t p h r e oj e e as ete t t n lin a e nd w m il i means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the - markets of Lincoln, N o rfo lk, I dl f a o n rin d districts th e mi l i re ec k t i kingdom, and will, , b iy . Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many m iles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other projected railways, an almost direct lime 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. 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 Iran-it for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the tnorth at high prices : it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershife 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 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 willy sufficient far 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. 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.
