nagement think it their duty to publish the names of that Commit-
tee, as the best answer to the latter anonymous writer, and to caution
the Shareholders against being misled by any statements which
might be made at any meeting called by Thomas H. Smith, of whom
the Committee of Management know nothing.
The Committee of Management take this opportunity to state, that
the surveys from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton are nearly completed,
and that the surveys from Wolverhampton to Birmingham are being
made under the direction of a joint Committee representing this
Company, the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and the

mediate superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson.

TO SCRIPROLDERS.
In consequence of modifications of this line, rendered necessary by
the decisions of. Parliament in the late Session, and of the increase of
the Parliamentary deposit required by the New Standing Orders, the
Provisional Committee find it necessary to call in the scrip hitherto
issued, for the purpose of replacing it by new scrip, to requ:re an ad-
ditional deposit of 12s. per share, and to cause new deeds to be pre-
Pared for the signature of the PrOprietors. Parties to whom scrip
has been issued are accordingly requested to send in their scrip, on
or before the first day of October next, to the Secretary. New
letters of allotment will at once be issued to such of the present
holders of the scrip so sent in, as were original subscribers for their
shares; but where the scrip has changed hands, satisfactory re-
ferences as to the responsibility of the holders, will be required by the
Directors, before new letters of allotment can be issued ; on the ad-
ditional deposit being paid (in accordance with the new letters of al-
lotment), and the new deeds being executed, the new scrip will be
issued.
On and after the 10th of October next the present scrip (unless it
shall have been sent in to the Secretary, and received by him pre-
viously to that day) will be considered as cancelled, and the Shards it
represents will be re-allotted. Parties sending scrip are requested to
write their names across each scrip certificate for the sake of security,
and to send by a post letter at the Came time that they send their
scrip, a list of the numbers of the scrip ttiey have dispatched, with
their own name, residence, and (if necessary) that of their references,
attached in full to the end of such list.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will mete the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,

Blackwall, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
15 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 4y. miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9,4
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
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and 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
affording 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 goodnaturo of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipatlil, 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, &c., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, Sec., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievvos
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.
Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and communi-
cations from persons desirous of promoting the objects of the Com-
pany), may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Provisional Officea
