--
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as, C
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop-
tion of the Atmosplwric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
working, the annoyances, inseparable from the loco Motive system
will be obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in-
dispensable to thlidensely-populated district, will be secured.
The population of the various places at which stations are proposed
to be erected on the present line is riot less than 200,000, and to give
some idea ot' the large amount of traffic which may be calculated
upon, it may be stated that the present annual income derived from
the carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,0001. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of
a very ample return for the capital required for this important work.
The preliminary announcements of this undertaking have referred
to it as the London, Brentlbrd, Hounslow, and Great Western Junc-
tion Company—a title which the Provisional Committee have upon
further consideration, altered to the present designation, in order to
distinguish it from other,
.schemes similar in name, but differing in
their proposed course.
The surveys of the line are completed, and every arrangement will
be made for applying to rarliftillCllt for an Act in the ensuing session,
previously to which the plans will he laid before the Metropolitan
Commissioners of Improvement for their approval.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made, ad-
dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the temporary Offices of
the Company, 18, Parliament-street, to the Solicitors and Portia-
' mentors. Agents, and to the following agents and sharebrokers :--

Tho Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
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 traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (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 by them to in-
crease time 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 then), 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 Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
thee atiord a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and give i
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 also 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
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 Thames, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact' 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 skareholders 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 revenuG 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-thire.s of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half
of whom piss to the West-end of Louden. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
raSSCIIVII Irons the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accounnodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.

;leckheat on, Batley, Ileckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as 1
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and. the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.
It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rall-
Way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckniondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
- a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Normanton—a very circuitous route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places

The present distance to Sheffield from Bradford is about 51 miles;

From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles.
The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London
and all Intermediate places ; and it Is important to observe that either
by the present North Midland line, or by the projected London and
York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct
route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London.
It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this project
and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by
way of Normanton.

The traffic through this district is immense.

A careful survey of the line and branches has been made by tho
engineer, a:4l the scheme will be submitted to Parliament at the ap-
proaching session.
Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, if

the Company should think fit.
Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow inte-
rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of the
Act, until the opening of the railway ; and for limiting the share-
holders' liability to the amount of their subscriptions.

Power will also be applied for in the Act (aid in the meantime is
reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of
the line, and to make branches ; and also to enter into any arrange-
ments with any other company or companies.
A liberal portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners
and others having local interests; and such companies as this line
may form junctions with, or with which this Company may be con-
nected.

Applications for shares• (ia the form given below), and for pro-
spectuses, may be made to the Solicitors, and also to Mr. Charles
Dyson, Sharebroker, Boar-lane, Leeds ; Messrs. Wilson and Hello-
well, Sharebrokers, Huddersfield; and Mr. John Brooke, Broker,

TIPPERARY.- REPEAL MEETING..•
THURLES, SEPT. 25.—This being the locality in which it
was resolved by the Repeaters of the county of Tipperary to
hold their long-contemplated monger meeting, all the neces-
sary preparations have been accordingly made by the com-
mitted of management appointed to conduct the preliminary
arrangements ; and this, the important day fixed upon for
that assemblage, as well as the dinnei to be subsequently
given to Mr. O'Connell, his fellow political martyrs, and
other popular public men of the same party, has at length
arrived.. All is bustle and excitement, not only here but in
most tf the 'neighbouring t9wns, as•well as some even of the
neighbouring counties ; every district, even very distant
ones, having determined to send large bodies of men of
different trades and occupations, accompanied by their bands
and banners,,to meet Mr. O'Connell at Holycross, three or
tour miles from this town, about noon to-day, there to form
into regular' procession, and todproceed thence through Thurles
to the place of meeting. The field or fields where the plat-
form has'been built are situated about two miles to the south
of the town in a place called Knockroe, and certainly the site
has been chosen with considerable felicity. The spot is
distant two or three large grass fields from the high road,
and slopes gently from the summit downwards all round for
'a considerable extent._ _ .

From an early hour this morning the inhabitants of this
town were all active, marshalling their respective trades,
vehicles, bands, and banners, preparatory to their starting
for the place of rendezvous; and, indeed, for a great part of
the day the streets presented an unusual bustle in consequence
of the pouring in or people from all the surrounding districts,
and the occasional and not unfrequent arrival of some new
body and band, hastening to join the procession.
All the shops in the town are closed and shuttered ; and
the streets and roads in every direction, but particularly
towards Kumla-oe, are crowded with idlers, waiting for the
arrival of the procession. It is arranged that the same shall
pass through the principal parts of the town, and then wind
along back again by another way which conducts to the road
leading to the place of meeting.
Bodies of horsemen and footmen, and car-borne men, and
bands and banners, and trades, and vehicles of all inds,
Continued ;to pour in through the streets in abundance,
all waiting for, or going to swell, the great proces-
sion on its way to the place of meeting. With
the exception of the natural tendency to shout-
ing, and the performances of the various bands, the de-
meanour of the vast crowds assembled on this occasion has
been marked by good order and decorum. If all the accounts
we have heard of the preparations for the present gathering
be true, it cannot be inferior in numbers to any of the mon-
ster meetings of 1843. A large b. dy of police were drawn
up in the market-place for the greater part of the day. A
little after two the approach of the commencement of the pro-
cession was announced by the renewed shouting, and soon
the variously formed column began to arrive—not, certainly,
with all the regularity which it was contemplated. First
came the bands, and the various trades with their banners
(all the parties mounted on every possible procurable de-
scription of vehicle) of the towns of Roscrea, Templemore,
Holycross, Tipperary, Thurles, Cashel, &c., &c , followed by
a large body of equestrians from a place contiguous to this
town, called Loughmore ; next followed a long straggling
procession of cars and vehicles of all kinds, tilled with the
trades of various localities. Soon after came Mr. O'Connell,
on the outside of his travelling. carriage. His arrival was
the signal for loud cheering trom the crowds which lined the
route of the procession. lie was followed by the corporation
of Kilkenny, its trades, and its band. Next came a very
large body of horsemen to the number of several thousands,
and then another line of cars and other machines. The pro-
cession had not all passed through up to post hour (half. past
eight). 9
About one o'clock to-day a detachment of infantry arrived
in the town from Templemore.
The proceedings of the meeting, which did not commence
until about four o'clock, consisted chiefly of the presentation
of an address to Mr. O'Connell, his speech in reply thereto,
and a couple of other speeches, introducing one or two re-
solutions of the ordinary routine character, for the adoption
of a petition for the repeal of the union. Nicolas Maher,
Esq.. M.P., of Turtulla, was called to the chair. A sum,
amounting to about 8001. repeal rent, was handed to Mr.
O'Connell, by persons representing various districts in the
county, as an earnest of their determination to persevere in
the renewed agitation for repeal. All the parties, with their
trades, banners, and bands, coming from different localities,
assembled at Holycross, a small town about three miles from
this, in the morning, to meet Mr. O'Connell, and conduct
him thence in procession, through Thurles to the place of
meeting.
