The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction lit informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending betty eon the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the
Thames of such a character as to assure ttem that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Term inns of all the City traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres ofgroand (the
southern boundary of which is within 8,04) yards of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully survey en' and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so fav ourable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, hoes/ resolved be them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,30 0,000/.
The Provisional Committee consider it ,of paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most complete accommo.lation 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 arid 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 stati,m of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect art entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the mists npolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication betwo;cit the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London tothe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schen :es , by creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the met: ropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost. incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus w ill ensure to this Com-
teeny, will he added that of those companies; also who will eventually
co-opera, e with the North London Juneth m Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary ins gnitude 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 throcgh which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this means the most casual observer wi 1/ be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the '1 'Lames, will be placed in
immediate communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact ity of co, w exion with its suburban
localities, necessarily atTording it the 'great es t accommodation.
With such important local resources, thi in :fore, 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 revenae will be derived thus. e.
The daily passenger traffic on the Gnes a Western amounts to
3,145, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-th ir f.s of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to fh•4oo persons deny, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. Ilse omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which mai, be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
acniumodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products; are derived:--
