At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brentford,
Isleworth, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
favour of establishing a railway communication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette notices were actually published ; but the difficulty
of obtaining a suitable terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undertaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This impediment has now been overcome, and by a proposed June-
Bon with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled is) proceed
directly to the heart of the metropolis ; and by the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.

By the intenaed Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Railway at Iffensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct access to the Central Terminus, and thence to the City, or to
the Southern and Eastern Lines.

The proposed line, which passes through or near the extensive and
populous suburbs of Pimlico, Chelsea, Brompton, Kensington, Ham-
mersmith, Chiswick, and Turnham-green, to the town of Brentford,
and thence to Isleworth, Hounslow, and West Drayton, has received
the most cordial approbation and promises of support from the great
majority of the inhabitants and other parties locally interested.
This line is singularly free from engineering difficulties; and,
although there is almost a complete continuity of town and village
throughout the whole distance, yet, from the care with which the
line has been laid down, so as to avoid property covered with build-
ings, and to take advantage of open and unoccupied spaces, the
value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so great as,
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the &lop-
WM of the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
