The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Previsional 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
et this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north of London.

To effect this important object, an area a 10 acres of ground (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank of
England) has been meet 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 by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001.
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 plim, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line tb 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 to the north of the Thames, and give
full 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 traille
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies else who will eventually
co-operate with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short but very valuable
ling of railway.

♦ lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascartaia
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate commnuication with the City ; while the dense popu-
fAtion of the City will enjoy a faciity 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, fully oommensurato with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus :
The daily passenger traille on the Great Western amounts to
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
raingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirc.s of which roach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,40 e 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.
