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 Holsden-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 Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in 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, Neesdon,
Wllsdon, NVilsdon Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne
Green, Maide Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch
End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton,

ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham,
Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Horton, Homerton,
Hackney, Shacklewell, Dalaton, Islington, St. Pancras, Shoreditch,
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 from the town of Barnet to the station of the Lendon
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 line to Barnet, will be 41/, miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 91,4
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, 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 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 agri9ultaral district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
colleeti ?us of houses and lmildintrs.

The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
will now have a railway communication 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 lines now contemplated.

and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been fe4 by all classes as a most grieve.% eva..
