On MONDAY, November 1, at Twelve o'Clock precisely, a
iILIC MEETING will be held at the LONDON TAVERN,
,IshePsgate-street, for tee purpose of enabling the Cit zees of Lon-
e, it, and others interested in obtaining Railway Accommodation for
the Metropolis, to express their opinion upon Mr. Charles Pearson's
12pieet ior connecting liarringdon-street (the heart's core of the
.etropolls) with the Provincial and Metropolitan Railways, both in
tw l and contemplation, North of the Thames, by means of a
great
Trunk Line, with tour or five pairs of rails, capable of main-
taining, at the same time, a frequent, rapid, punctual, and cheep
Intercommunication between the City and the Swburbs, without
Courting dangerous collisions or creating inconvenient delays, by
commingling on the same lines, at the same time, creeping goods'
wngeous with dying expresses, and mixing up erratic excursionists
with the migratory population of the Cloy, who desire night and
morning to avail themselves of railway accommodation, without
danger of breaking either their appointments or their bones. Mr.
Pearson will explain and illustrate his project by models and maps
of the Metropolis, of immense size, showing the practicability and
utility of the plan. Mr. Pearson will ascertain, by a vote of the
Meeting, whether the citizens of the wealthiest city of the wealthiest
country hi the world are willing to carry the project into execution ;
if 80, he will develope the ways and means—if net, he will then and
there perform the pledge which he gave some tune since, to chop up
he model, and endeavour to forget a project which, during the last
eventeen years, has cost him Above three thousand pounds of money,
And more than ten thousand hours of exertion, anxiety, and thought.
