The proposed line is intended to form a connecting line between
the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most
central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenience
arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the
City. It will &so meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade in
favour of a central terminus.

To accomplish this desirable object, the line will commence at the
south-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north-
westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and from thence it will proceed
almost in a straight line to the luggage station of the Birmingham
Railway, at Camden-town.
The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part
of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal
will greatly benefit the neighbourhood, by improving its salebrity,
and increasing the value of the surrounding property.
The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, by careful
surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves In
the construction of this railway, and it may be reasonably expected
to yield a fair profit to the subscribers, as it is calculated that, by
fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 71. per cent. upon
the capital will be realised, without including what will be received
for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage of goods and cattle, and
also irrespective of the increased traffic which may reasonably be
anticipated from the lines already formed, or contemplated, to the
north and north-east of London, and of which the terminus of this
Company will eventually become the common centre.
No subscriber will he liable beyond the amount of his subscription,
and power will be taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 4/. per
cent. Interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the
Act until the completion of the line.
Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration
Act, an annexed, can be made, addressed to the Company's Solici-
tor, John Castle Gant, Esq., 37, Nicholas-lane, London; to Messrs.
Chalmer and Sim ps )n, stock and share brokers, 23, Tokenhouse-yard,

Tokenhoase-yard, aforesaid, and no other form of application can be
attended to.
