'This railway will connect 'the' important and hitherto neglected
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 Beltways.
The line, iu its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
stone, Totteridge, Highwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdoa,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne

Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras,. Shoreditch,
Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, Lee. ; connecting those places with the
various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Etioton-square,lby this route, will be
15 miles.

4 ~:

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 line 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 Nortnern
and Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceed beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp-
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the Talley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
it le 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-ins wing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan oAtuilbum,,
will be largely benefited, and laud and agricultural proti.;dee,
hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivater-,; will be quad-
rupled in value.
The ancient, populous, and once-flourishlr,g town ef Barnet, too,
will now have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
big upon the caprice or uncertain goodrjature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch% in future time', from some of
t'ae trunk lines now contemplated..

An ample return of profit to ..ne investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and Trill arise from the following sources,
amongst others:—

1. From the conveyP.nce of passengers.
2. From the carri`age of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, &e., to trig several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding The delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; ale from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs.
ad. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
ald other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievcos
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.
