SECRETARY—II=y Burr rd Fantail, Esq.
The Provisional Committee of the North Loudon Junction Rat.
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit.
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the
Thames of such a character as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north of Lyndon.

To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres ofgrouzd (the
southern boundary of which is within 50g, yards of the Bank of
England) has been most carefully surveyed and valued, and the re-
port of the architect and engineer is of so favourable a character as to
have induced the Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved b., them to In-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,0001.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
to secure 'within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
mast complete accommodation 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 and 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 station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time aflord a direct communication between the whole of the rail.
ways, which reach London tahe north of the Thames, and give
full development to each of their schemes by creating for them a
common centre within the heart of the metropolis.
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus wilt ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of thaw companies abo who will eventually
co-opera' e with the North London Junction Railway Company, and
the perfection of a project of no ordinary magnitude and importance
will be realised throughout the whole of this short tut very valuab:e
line of railway.

A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to ran this Me;
by this means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate commuelcation with the City ; while the dense popu-
latiox of the City will enjoy a fact ity of connexion with its suburban
localities, necessarily affording it the greatest accommodation.
With such important local resources, therefore, 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 revenue will be derived thus :

The daily passenger traffic on the Great Western amounts to
3,245, one-half of which reaches 'the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thire.s of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,400 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passenzars from the suburban districts reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:--

way, at fid. each ..

PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and the
metropolis.

2. 'llin supply of local railway accommodation to the Important
districts embraced by the line:

3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis cy-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of sOmile
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
amplon by one continuous cha*n of railways.
Commencing at she town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, Mom Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingliam,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.

Thu county lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly v.ithout existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but ,:lso to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed byithe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.

The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—

Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, and the whole of the Southein and Western
in addition, it will secure the very ins-
I c'local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
itserttrainettand a
intermediate o godiin7 and,

In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining the'r Act of Parliament, then the drank from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further to Kettering or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Ketterin;, a distance of
more than forty miles, anti including the market towns of Oakham
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore Will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but
also to London.

At Kette log this line will unite with that ene of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with refermee to the
supposed traffic or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.

The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greate: portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles tile line will run upon a water level.
The lire will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate cf 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of tie dr payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the andertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great lirimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.
