The merits of a lino to the Land's End as an investment for ca-
pital, it was not left, to the present Company to discover. The Great
Western and Bristol and Exeter Railway having already reached
Exeter, It has been in contemplation to extend that line to Fal-
mouth by way of Plymouth ; and various other projects have been
set on foot on the conviction that Falmouth must be reached by
railway.
'rho object of this prospectus is to show that no other line than the
resent can ultimately satisfy the exigeiScies of the country in regard
fa this, its most Important eutport, —o the *natural Packet Station of
the empire."
'The present project is distinguished by this---that it is direct. it is
as nearly as possible a straight line front London to the Lane's F.nd.
The London, Bath, and Bridgewater Company having arnaiga-
nutted with this Company, the immense local influence cmanded
by them will now contribute to the great national object or a direct
line ; while means have been taken for securing the traffle and afford-
ing all the accommodation contemplated by that Company.

This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London /col Birmingham and the Ghat

and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or IPar Totten..

13 miles.

The line will proceed beyond the range. nt the Highgate and Hamp-
stcul 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 Yrill be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for Use above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural aiwitt, avoiding all ornamental property and largo
collections of isonses and buildings.
Upon the tOrnpletion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing
Popnlation, resident beyond the limits of the•metropolitan omnibuses,
will he largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
alfonling an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.

The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Darnat, too,
will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain gooduature of any company who
may hold oat a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.

An ample return of profit to tha Investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise froaa the following sources,
amongst others:—

From the conveyance of passenger;

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, &c., more particularly
daring the period of the large Barnet fairs.
31. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne, Mel,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great eaponse
of which has long been felt byall classes as a most grievous evil.
The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power
of adopting, upon this lino, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.
