The object of this Company is to connect the London and Binning-
ham, and the Great Western, with the South-Western, the London
a. d Brighton, and the South-Eastern Railways, by means of a line
comMetteinX at a point on the London and Birmingham Railway,
ab,ut four milea frOilt the station at Euston-s.ivare ; proceeding front
which, it will join the (IMO Western, and continue onwards by Ken-
sington, Chelsea, Walliam-greett,-Parson's-green, and Fulham, there
crossing the river Thames to Wandsworth. It will then proceed to
the station of the South-Western Railway on Wandsworth-common,
anti cCintintla its course by Upper and Lower Tooting, Streatham,
and Mitcham, (0 the joint station of the London and Brighton, and
the south-Eastern Companies at Croydon.
That the great trunk lines of railway which connect the provinces
with the metropolis, should be United by a common terminus, has
long been an object much desired by all who • take an interest in the
effilipletiOn of our railway system.
Various st'lleines have been entertained from time to time for the
accomplishment of the object, but in the opinion of practical men,
from the inconvenience Width must arise to existing interests, and
the consequent destruction of valuable property in the heart of a
rent city by such a project, it has always been discountenanced as
ihmtactirable. This Company, therefore, propose to get rid of the
diftletilly by the formation of this connecting line, at the least in-
ebni-eriipiit distance fl'om the metropolis, by which the great lines
dreddy iiitittiotied will enjoy the advantages of intercommunication
in a manner itioNt enatincive to the interests of the public, and at the
same time with little frjary to the property of individuals.
The Company have reason to think that their labours will be-con-
siderably diminished by taking advantage of the present West Lon-
dnii Railivsy (which, in fact, flirms a portion of their proposed line),
by !eine emicable arrangement with its present proprietors, the
trindnil IBA Birmingham Railway Company; and they will thus be
enabled tb scare a great saving both of money and time in carrying
out theif
There is one feattife in this undertaking which cannot fail to inte-
rest the inhabitants Of.WatidtWorth, and of the populous districts
around it. The construction tit a bridge over the Thames, adequate
not merely for the purpose ;,1 a railway, but also of sufficient width
and of proper arrangement to Se;,
'e as a public thoroughfare for car-
dans and foot passengers, must of ne:ssitY
tage to the inhabitants not only of that
be of immense adVall-
trict, but those of the
western parts of the metropolis. It is evident. thanwhen it is considered that in proceeding to Wandswonn, ft.!.
it
, s
must be so,
or Croydon, they are now obliged to cross the Thames by a circuit..
route, over one of the old wooden bridges, either at Battersea or
Putney, both being very far out of the direct line to those places al-
ready mentioned.

- -
It is equally clear that it must be a source of considerable income
to the shareholders of this Company, as it is intended to take tolls,
which being moderate, will at the same time (from the great traffic
that may reasonably be anticipated) form a source of great remunera-
tion to the shareholders.
Independent of the profitable source of revenue which must accrue
from the traffic both in passengers and goods between the several
great railways which this line will connect, the Company have
every reason to hold out the most flattering encouragements to the
public., from the rapidly increasing importance of the several suburban
towns on the course of the line.
The Company intend to make at the Wandsworth end of the pro-
posed bridge a depot for goods, which will give great facility for the
conveyance by water ^arriage, on the one hand, for g(KOs intended
for exportation, and on tile other a cheap and expeditious mode of
transit for goods intended for the interior.
Passengers going by the Birmingham, or Great Western Railway,
or from the western parts of the metropolis, to the railways on the
south of the Thames, R ill not only avoid the great inconvenience of
passing through the crowded streets of London, but will also effect a
saving in time of one hour and a quarter by means of this proposed
line.
As an earnest for the speedy completion of the undertaking, the
Company have it in their power to state that surveys have already
been made, and that all the other necessary proceedings in the engi-
neering department are in such a state of forwardness as to warrant
them in stating that the necessary plans required by the standing
orde,s of Parliament will be ready for depositing by the 10th of No-
vember next. _ _ _• _ _

The liability of the shareholders will he limited to the amount of
their several subscriptions, and in the allotn cut of shares preference
will he given tOpartics locally interested.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 4/.
per cent. upon all calls previous to the opening of the line.
