The object of this undertaking is to supply railway communication
to the towns and districts lying between the London and Birming-
ham, and the Great Western Railways, giving them the best means
of access to the metropolis, and connecting them also with the
Northern and Eastern lines of railway, as weli as with Oxford and
the South.
The main line will commence from the London and Birmingham
Railway, near Harrow, and passing to the north of Uxbridge, will
proceed'up the Valley by Chalfont, near Amersham and Chesham to
Missenden and Weudover, and thence to Aylesbury; from wlich
place it will extend to Buckingham, and passing near Winslow, and
approaching Brackley, will terminate by a Junction with the proposed
Warwickshire and London Railway, near Banbury.
In additi ,n to the line above described. it is intended also to con-
struct a Railway from the central station of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway at Wolverton to Buckingham, and thence through

Ctimpany (for the construction of a linefrom Wolverton to Bicester)
is amalgamated with this Company.

Stephenson, and it has been ascertained that no engineering difficulty
of importance presents itself.
The undertaking has already received tke sanction and support of
a very large proportion of the Nobility, Gentry, and Proprietors of
land through or near whose property it is intended to pass.

and under the direction and superintendence of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company ; under a lease, in perpetuity, at
four per cent. per annum on the outlay, with a conditional arrange-
ment as to the surplus profits.

The Committee take this opportunity ofstating that in order to ensure
the completion of a line of railway along the north bank ofthe Thames
to the City, they have determined on extending the embankment
portion of their project from Waterloo-bridge to the City as intimated
in their original prospectus, provided the Committee do not arrange
with some other pasty of sufficient railway influence by which this
extension may be effected, and they have accordingly taken the pre-
eau, ion of registering this addition to the scheme.
The necessity of a central terminus is daily becoming more urgent,
which is evinced by the many schemes which have been brought
before the public for that purpose since the prospectus of this
Company was first published, but with the great accession of
strength the Committee have now obtained by the valuable co-
operation of the several influential railway Directors above-men-
tioned, the Committee feel confident they need fear no opposition.
The allotment of the shares will take place as soon as possible, of
which due notice will be given.
