This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglooted
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
.and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lou-
don and York Railways.

'Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &e. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance fl'om the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Euston-square, by this route, will be
15 miles.
The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 11 miles ; and
the length of the branch lino to Barnet, will be 4% miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9%
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 614 miles-
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the llighgate and Hamp-
stead Hill:, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators,
will be quad-
rupled in value.
The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
will now have a railway cemmunioation of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in future times, from some of
the trunk linos now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following settrees,
amongst others :-
1. From the conveyance of passengers.
' 2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &el., to the several railways which aro intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
'during the period of the large Barnet fairs.
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
l and other
of which has l comong been felt bmodities of geyall classes as a neral consumption
most, thegrievc great expense
The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power
'of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.
Applications for Shares in the form annexed (and communi-
cations from persons desirous of promoting the objects of the Com-
pany), may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Provisional Offices
