The Provisiomd Committee of the North London Junction
way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Previsional Cotninit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railway a 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 traffic
north of London.

To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the
southera boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Bank et
England) has been meet carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port ef the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character its t•
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved bj theut to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001: •
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount iniportanoe
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.
'ln conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch lbw to the present station of the Eastern Countles
Railway in Shoroditoh, which will effect an entire junction .between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis; and at the snare
time aflbrd 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 traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies ales who will eventually
co-operwe with the North London Junctioa 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 valuab:e
line of railway.
A 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 ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thanes, will be placed iu
immediate commui:ication with the City; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a faci ity of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, theretor e, 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 ontiay of thO 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-thinis of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,403 persons daily, hall
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, arc estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived;—

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
emeter aid Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Juuetiou
Hallways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from
thence through or Lear the towns of Market Drayton. Newport, and
thitiflaal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means It will' form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hall, and Chester to the
Important ports of Gloucester aid Bristol, indeed the most direct
lino from the north Of England to the Bristol Channel. It will also,
in conjunction wtilt the proposal Hereford and Worcester. and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-ifydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the nest advan-
tageous route front Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales,
to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull..

. .
The line will cress, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham hallway at
Shillhal, and the 'Shropshire Mineral' Bid'Way and the Trent Talley
1.7111011 at the thriving town of Newrort. It will form a Junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Safford, Derby, the nikiland counties,
Staffordshire totterics, Sheffield, and Hull; and, in addition to the
carriage of Leavy goods from Bristol, :Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kiddenvinater, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
'England, and Scotland—will secure a latiei*panienger traffic iu the
district through which it passes. A bralielr will be made from New-
port to the important town of Wellington.
The proposed railway will be about b 7. miles In length, and be-
tween the two tennini.of Crewe and Gloucester, will save In distance
at least 20 monies, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre-
sent rapid rate of traVelling, in about two hours. This project as a
Junction line, connects itself with some of the most Important rail-
ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely-
populated trot districts of Shropshire- and . Staffordshire, and in its
course plisses through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient trails to pay a high
rate of interest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties In the country through which
the like is intended to pass, the whole being nearly ou a level, and
on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey,
which accompanies the prospectus, the pine will appear straight, and
will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
that it cannot be surpasslid by any existing or projected lines betweea
the saute tennial. • • • •
•

• • • •
It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and as tunnel-
ling will be required.
Application is intended_ to be made, in the ensuing session of Par-
liament, for a direct line of railway (of which a survey has been
made) tom Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready
stommunication will be afforded to the most southern parts of England.
The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount 01
their snbieriptions, and interest will bo allowed on the deposits and
further calla, from the date of the several paYments to the opening of
tits line.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct lino to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, al eashans, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch,
projected by time Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, -Birmaigimain, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Treat Valley line.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towns of Nottingham, Newark, mid Lbscoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick pis time other side, at the seine
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with
railway advatitawes.
A renrenoe to the map will show that this railway will also 43111-
mail(' oilier collateral advantages.
There is ao doubt that the proposed ralmvay communication ise•
tweet' Cheltenham and Warwick will be ettiset.d, in which case the
proposed line will till up time railway chasm at present existing be-
tween the counties of Gloucester amid Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincolu, and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. Au amalgamation of the Gm eat
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the GriaNsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expeuded
in renthring Great Grimsby a port of time first importance ; and It
must be obvious that the traffic to that port,- front the district south-
west of Warwick, will be very great.
The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry. and Nottingham will be about. twenty miles ;
and between Birmingham amid Nottingham, the saving will be about
six miles. Being the shortest route from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port. of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must
.cmiimand the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district sexth
of those towns to /Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng and
generally. It will also afford a direct :communication between Not-
tingham and time district bete eon Warwick and Worcester, by means
of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line still be about. 2S miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the character of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favoarable for engiueering
purposes.
It passes directly through a very productive mlueral district, is.,
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will
afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured Immediate and prospective amount of traffic,
the profits en the small capital required cannot Mil to be highly re-
msun.rative.
Powers fir allowance of intereet at feur per cent, on the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amonut of their subscriptions.

I'ItO3PECTUPI.

The formation of a Company to Carry into effect the continuation
of a line of railway from Peterborough to Boston and Lynn respec-
tively, having been earnestly called for by a large body of wealthy
and highly influential landowners and residents of the counties of
Lincoln, Norfolk, and the adjoining districts, as being absolutely
necessary to supply the wants or the country through which the
line will pass, it is proposed to make a railway commencing at
Peterborough, proceeding to
,Eye, • and theme continued in two
branches, the one passing by Thorney and Wisbiiach to Lynn, the
other passing by Crowland, Spalding, Pinchbeck, Surliest, Gus-
berton, and Waterton to Boston, thus making, by means of the
Northampton and Peterborough, and the Syston and Peterborough
Railways, a direct communication, from these important towns and
seaports with Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Slienivid,
&c., and ultimately, by means of the London and Birmingham, and
Northampton, Banbury, and. Cheltenham Railways, completing a
direct communication with Gloucester, Bristol, and the satire west
of England.

The great importance of tom s above line of railway, tot exceeding
64 miles in length, will be immediately seen by referring to the map.
It commences at the Farnborough station of the South-Western Rail-
way, crossing the Great Western line between Slough and Maiden-
head, and terminates on the Oxtbrd and Rugby line of railway at
Ileyford, beyond Oxford, on the route to Birmingham, accommo-
dating in its course, Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bags tot, Ascot, Windsor,
Great Marlow,lligh Wycombe, Princes Risborough. Theme, 1111ettv,
and many other places at present without railway communication.
It will form the most direct roue from London to Banbury, War-
wick, and Birmingham, and by the Grand Junction Railway to Man-
chester, Liverpool, Lancaster, and Carlisle, and by the Caledonian
Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; also front Crewe to Chester,
Birkenhead, and Holyhead, thus opening the most direct communica-
tion with Dublin.
It will also, by a short branch to Woodstock, in connexion with
the Cheltenham and Oxford line, form the most direct route to South
Wales, Wat‘rford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the, Ox-
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and censo-
quently to all the central portion of Wales, thus forming the shortest
ionic to all Wales and Ireland.
To the advantag, offered to the above places, by saving about
fourteen miles in the transits to London, must be added that of con-
necting them with the South-Western and the Reading and itelgate
lines, affording passeagers an opporttmity of proceeding to Sostn-
ampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighten, and all adja-
cent places, without the necessity of passing through the metropolis,
thereby saving touch throe and bleonvenience.
The length of this line will not exceed 57 miles, and It will save an
average distance of 14 miles to each of the before-mentioned places,
as compared with the route now traversed by the Groat Western
Railway. It is satisfactory to state that there are no engineering
difficulties, and that the land is the least valuable of any in the coun-
ties through which this line is intended to pass, avoiding, as it doss,
parks and Ontamental property.
It will be seen from the fsregoing facts that the formation of this
line will afford very great advantages to nearly all parts of England,
Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as it will materially facilitate the de-
livery of their many marketable product* by opening another and
more direct route to London. It is not, therefore, too nitwit to ex-
pect that, independently of a great local traffic, there will be also Kg

immense through traffic brought on this line, which mud pay at
least 10 per cent. on the capital required. This is manifest, as tho
construction of the line will not cost 20,000/. per mile, while the
Loudon and Bieniln,;hani Railway cost 53,000/. per ►uile, upon which
enormous outlay it continues to lay 15 per cent.
Sha:eholders in the Grand Junction, Great Weider:l, ;until
Western, Oxford amid Rugby, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp-
ton, and Birmingham and oxford Junction Railways will have a pre-
ference in the allotment of shares after parties locally interested.
The deeds will provide that no call shall be leads on the share-
holders be, and the deposit now paid, until the Act of Parliament
shall be obtained ; and power will be taken in the Act to allow tour
per cent. interest on all calls until the line be completed, which,
ttom the nature of the ground to be gone over, Is not expected to
exceed two years.

The Company reserves the power of fornithg a branob to Oxford,
it fused necersury.
