The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or
communication with all the existing railways, by which means
more particularly the Western, Southern, Eastern, South-Eastern,
and South-Western parts of the kingdom may be traversed from the
Northern Districts, without the necessity of making the metropolis
a resting-place either for passengers or goods : and thus obviating
considerable expense and great loss of time.
The length of the main line will be 63 miles, commencing at Hert-
ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),
eentinuing its coarse by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it
will cross the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
Riekrnansworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass
ender the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colebrook, (having
a branch to Windsor from the main line at Horton), arose the Thames
at Statues, to Egham, Chertsoy, passing into the South Western
Railway at the Weybridgo Station, approaching Cobham, Leather-

procally with the counties through which the railway is intended to
pass, the revenue upon the capital will yield at least 10 per cent.
As the project developes itself, the most cheering patronage is
manifest from influential landowners and other pro .rietors declaring
that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands;
and who have promised to give this project their undivided support.
Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send
troops with all their materiel by railways, and the facilities which
can be thus afforded will form a communicating medium with ever.,

Safllce it to state that coal. wool, timber, earn, bark, lime, any.

transit by this railway, to meet the demands or exigencies of se-
veral counties hitherto subjected to the impost of incalculable ex-
pense and delay attendant on goods at present being compelled to
pass through London.
