SECRETARY—Harry Burrard Farnall, Esq.
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 boundary 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 Provisional Committee to determine on purchasing
the entire site, and it has, therefore, been resolved by them to in-
crease the capital of this Company to 1,300,090/.
The Provisional Committee consider it of paramount importance
to secure within the limits of their City terminus, the amplest and
most 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 afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London tothe 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 rallway-..

A lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district through which this Company proposes to run this Brie;
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 communication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a feel 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 folgowing products are derived:—

way, at 6d. each.. . .

PROSPECTUS.

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

2. The supply of local railway accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.

3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upWards of 50 mar
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-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birriaingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from 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 Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed bylthe shortest and best practi-
cable course to Hull.

The sources of traffic which this lino 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 Southei n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, In addition, it will secure the very im -
portant and Increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.

In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic 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 nirther toKettering or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and 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 Kettering this line will unite with that one 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 reference 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 snore than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The line 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 of 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their 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 undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great arimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.

Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz.:—Messrs. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

In consequence of the total want of system in the selection of rail-
ways in England, especially those emanating from the grand centre
of intercourse, London, there are many wealthy and populous dis-
tricts that are totally devoid of the benefits of railway conveyance.
Such, for instance, is that between Reigate and Windsor—a country
unequalled in agricultural resources, and loaded with population, a
vast number of whom are connected more or less with mercantile
pursuits, and, consequently, in frequent habit or necessity of reach-
ing the metropolis, market towns, ports, and manufacturing locali-
ties. These considerations, weighty in themselves, but light in com-
parison with others, first gave rise to the present undertaking ; and
when it is considered that this line of thirty miles will be the con-
necting link of five of the largest railways in England, through
which it will be fed by incalculable numbers, totally independent of
its extensive local traffic, it must be evident to the most sceptical,
that it forms not only a desirable but an absolutely necessary artery
in the present system of railway communication.
There are many lines now in contemplation which will afford
additional prosperity to the Royal Grand Junction ; among which
may be named the London and Portsmouth Direct ; Epsom, Brighton,
and Arundel ; Reigate and Reading ; London, Staines, and Ascot ;
Direct London and Exeter, &c.
The line is iutended to commence at the Reigate station of the.
London and Brighton Railway, and passing through Reigate, Betch-
worth, and within a quarter of a mile of Dorking, will continue its
course along the picturesque vale of Mickleham, at the foot of Box-
hill and Norbury, following as near as may be the river Mole to
Leatherhead ; after which it will pass through the parishes of
letcham and Stoke D'Abernon, and at the back or Claremont, the
property of his Majesty the King of the Belgians ; from thence near
Esher, Walton, and Weybridge, to Chertsey, Thorpe, Egham, Ascot,
Windsor, Eton, and Slough ; and terminating at the Slough station of
the Great Western Railway.
In addition to the many sources of income to be derived from the
conveyance of passengers, merchandise, and agricultural produce on
this line, and which has been estimated at 15 per cent., it will afford
a direct and continuous railway communication for the accommoda-
tion of her Majesty and the Royal Family between Windsor, London,
Claremont, Portsmouth, and Brighton; thus approximating one with
the other her Majesty's five favourite residences, and avoiding the
present inconvenient changes from the railway to the road, and
from one proprietary to another, it being proposed to lay down the
narrow gauge, that being adopted by four out of five of the lines this
railway is designed to connect.
It is proposed to erect royal station-houses at Windsor and Clare-
mont, for the use of her Majesty, and to make such deviations and
arrangements as shall meet the royal assent and approbation, as also
to forward the views of the Company.
It may be as well to add, that the whole country has been care-
fully selected. so that no difficulties can interfere with the completion
of the line, and the land through which it will take its course is, on
an average, considerably below the usual value of property; and,
lastly, having obtained the sanction of the most influential proprietors
throughout the line, no opposition can be made or sustained against
the promoters of the undertaking, who will use use every endeavour
to obtain a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next ses -
sion.
Applications for shares may be made, in the usual form, to the so-
licitors, or to the following brokers :—Mr. Roger Mortimer, Throg-
morton-street, London ; B. R. Pemberton, Esq., Atherton-buildings,
and Messrs. Schultz and Carr, Liverpool ; Mr. J. It. Lane, Birming-

This railway will form, as nearly as esay be practicable, a direct
sue from Reading, hi Berkshire—one of the ost important and
rapidly improving towns in the kingdom—to the large and populous
town of Northampton, where it will form a junction with the
Northampton and Peterborough Railway
The line will proceed fromthe Reading station of the Great Western
Railway, and by the way of Henley-on-Thames, Great Marlow,
West Wycombe, Aylesbury, and Buckingham, through some of the
richest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast
supplies of live stock and agricultural produce are constantly flir-
nished to the metropolis ; and from Buckingham it will be continued
direct to Blisworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a
Junction with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at
Slough, on the Great Western Railway
The proposed line with the branch will be about seventy-five miles
in length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended junctions with
the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
railway communication will be opened between Portsmouth, 6os;
port, the. Isle of Wight, ',Southampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, the

Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,
as it will, a portion of the counties of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, adn
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:--
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South Midland
The Midland Counties
The Northampton and Leicester
The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with
The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be ap-
plied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum on all
calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining an Act
during the ensuing session of Parliament.
Applications for shares may be addressed, In the form annexed, to
