I value of the ground to be purchased will not be nearly so groat as,
from the nature of the localities, would be inferred. By the adop-
tion of the Atmospheric principle, or some equally eligible mode of
working, the annoyances, inseparable from the locomotive system
will be obviated, and the advantage of almost constant trains, so in-
dispensable to this densely-populated district, will be secured.
The population of the various places at which stations are proposed
to be erected on the present line is not less than 200,000, and to give
some idea of the large amount of traffic which may be calculated
upon, it may be stated that the present annual income derived from
the carriage of passengers, by omnibuses alone, amounts to above
100,0001. ; under these circumstances, no doubt can be entertained of
a very ample return for the capital required for this important work.
The preliminary announcements of this undertaking have referred
to it as the London, Brentford, Hounslow, and Great Western Junc-
tion Company—a title which the Provisional Committee have upon
further consideration, altered to the present designation, in order to
distinguish it from other schemes similar in name, but differing in
their proposed course.
The surveys of the line are completed, and every arrangement will
be made for applying to Parliament for an Act in the ensuing session,
previously to which the plans will be laid before the Metropolitan
Commissioners of Improvement for their approval.
Applications for shares, in the subjoined form, may be made, ad-
dressed to the Provisional Committee, at the temporary Offices of
the Company, 18, Parliament-street, to the Solicitors and Parlia-
mentary Agents, and to the following agents and sharebrokers :

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
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 London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (the
southern houndory of which is within 500 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 Provisiorsit 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
most complete accommodation fbr the traffic of each of the railway
companies who may co-operate with them, an object which will be
ellected 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 to the 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 will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-operate 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 but very valuable
line of railway.

A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to ruts this line;
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 commurication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation 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
3,345, one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,322 daily, two-thirds 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.
Passengers 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:—
