It will also ensure two mail delivelles in the i lay.
lip to the point where the line approaches 0 ?men, no engineering
difficulties are presented. At Curren a deviat ion from the straight
line may he requisite to avid tunnelling, after which a straight line
will be resumed to Bangor, where that karma: ris construction will
be adopted fur the rest of the route to Holyht ed ; or, if found de-
sirable, power will be taken in the Bill to cue dune an independent
line by lecaumaris to Holyhead.
After a cereful investigation of the traffic ari zing from passengers,
the conveyance of mineral and agricultural iduce, and the direct
transmission of the mails, the Directors fe,l war -anted in anticipating
a return of at least ten eer cent. on the capital! nvested.
A. treaty is in progress with a Steam leavigs Lion Company to run
powerful steamers between the harbours of IL lyhead and Kingston
on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers I nd merchandise mazy
be booked throughout from London le Dublin, it :eluding all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to comple 'a the, entire distance
in ten hours, without the inconvenience so pain `ally felt of changing
from the conveyance of one proprietary to tl at of another. The
railways now in active pr gress in Ireland, t unning from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the if - land, render it self-
evident that the chain of communi eatiou betwee a the sister countries
is, by this present undertaking, rendered at once complete
and intimate to the last degree. As tl ie leading aim of
this Company is to save time and distance , every attention of
the Directors, and every advancement in sc 'cote wilt he made
available to gain the utmost possible amoi list of speed, cern-
patible with safety, the lines being formed CX.I ressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both
Passengers and traffic, and the public will find t i the improvement of
the inferior carriages, and some additieual cop Ifbrts for those of the
first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other no' v existing, and in all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterpri to so national in its
character.
Application will be made for a Bill to incest )orate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power eel sl be taken by the Act
to allow interest et 41. per cent. per annum. t n the amount of the
subscriptions paid up ; and no subscriser wilt b answerable for more
than the amount ofhis deposit until the Act be, obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.

The Provisional Committee of the North 5 Condon Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction In infer wing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between Ds 3 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 Termiuua of all the City treele
north of Landon.

To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grouxd (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 y arils of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully surveyed ai at valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favou rable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been re solved b,y them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,000 i
The Provisional Committee consider it of 7:paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City ten ninus, the amplest and
most complete accommodation for the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, zst object which will be
effected by opening the very extensive and veti,,,abie space of ground
alluded to, within the centre of the City of loor.don.
In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station a the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect at entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the met re:dolls ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail.

ways, which reach London lothe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes ..ty creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the metro] ions.
Independently, therefore, of the almost inc aleulable local traffic
Which the position of their City terminus wit ensure to this Con,-
pany, will be added that of those companies al so who will eventually
co-operate with the Netth London Junction t ;ailway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary mal nitude and Importance
be realised throughmt th, whole of this :short but very valuable
line of railway.

lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district throtgh 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 Thanies, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lat ion Of the City will enjoy a faci'ity of a nnexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the Sgres cent accommodation.
Witk 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 commensurate with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue 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-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily-, two-thir(s of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of Loudon. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts renching the City, now un-
aceommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the foilowing prods zts aro derived:

One of the .orst objects of this Company wi Ibe to obtain a most
central an''. accessible terminus in London, and Farringdon-street has
been timid upon for that purpose.
It is proposed to make a tunnel from that pole tto the Great Western
station, ft:om whence the line will he continnui in as direct a course as
poss:ble to I !olyhead

•
In 114 progress itwill pass through or near t. to the following towns:
—Kickmansworth, Chcsham, Wentiover, and ..s Vlesbury; it will then
proceed to within a short distance of Divest er and Deddington, and
from thence to Banbury; it will touch upon,. : l'ineton sr Kingtown,
thence proceed onward to Stratierd-on-At on • approach within a
short distance of Warwick, Alcester, and SVo rcester, where it will
cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railr po'l near to Bromsgrove,
and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, B. rie griarth, and Wenlock,
near to Broseley and Coalbrookdalc, will es ,ter the Yale of the
tiievern, which it will traverse to Shrewsb at: •,; it will thence con-
tinue its route up the course of th,.s. Severn, ,xltl passing into the Vale
of the 'diver Vyrnwy, will proceed to Llan-y-t wnech, Llaurhaladr,
and Medina:it, accommodating Welehpool, Osw estry, and Llangollea.
At this point there are three passes, which hav a been inspected, and
it remains for the engineer to select one as as entrance or passage
into the Vale of the River Dee, when the lino i 411 proceed round by
Comm into the Vale of the River Alwen, th in whence it will rim
nearly parallel with the grpat Holyhead llait ach-road, by Pentre-
voelas to Capel Cerrig, it will then timend the Vale of Nant Francon
to Bangor and Holyhead.
This lble will in its progress feed, and be alto fed by the most eonsi-
siderable railroads of the kingdom, partieuts rly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, awl Bristol; the Gann],
Worcester, cud Wolves hampton ; the Londonis .nd Birmingham.; and
the South Staffordshire Ra7lway. As this:: last lino will connect
Dudley, Biiston, Wednesbury, Walsall, an Lichfield 'with the
Derby railway and the Grand Juneticai Railway, it would
be rapt:Mums to expatiate on the at lvautages of bring-
ing all those important centres of the coat and iroo trade and
other traffic, and the vast coal and iron fields of 6hropshire
into close intercourse, and thus estaldislid iv the cheapest and
quick.est means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. The success of the andertakins is secured beyond a
doubt, by the obvious fact that it will not a ashy bring the richest
mineral and manufacturing portions of Engles id much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the intermediate counts y,„ not at present pos-
sessed of any direct line of railway commute cation. On the other '
Wald, the Grand London and Dublin Approx :motion Railway will
give to London and the neighbourhood of 331 rmingbam a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than tb it of any other exist-
ing
railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire
distance In ten hours.
