PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where' it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward; crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Strattord-on-Aron, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufactaring districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line dens
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importanee
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the 'Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Ita;1-
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 trail°
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grousd (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 on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved bs them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to ,300,090/.
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 Counties
Railway in Shorediteh, 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
lull 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 trans
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will he added that of those companies also who will eventuelly
tchoe-opeperrfae!cetisovnithortaheprNo
jeocrtht ofLnoondoonrddinuatircytimonagßniaitiuwdaeyaCndompany, and
importance
will 1)3 realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
line of railway.
A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define tke
'entire district throsgh 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 in
immedicte communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a foci 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, folly commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
:capital. That revenee 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-
otingliam amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds of which reach the
,City: The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,408 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:—
