The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction
Rah-
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 1,300,0001.
The Provisional Committee coneder 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 sPitce 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 to the north of the Thames, and give
11111 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 else 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 run 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 communication 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 tut-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:—

way, at 6d. each• • •'• •••••• • • • • • • •

This line of railway will commence at the junction of the Man-
chester aid Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction
Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed item
Moue@ through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and
Shlffnal, in Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid-
derminster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and te the Bristol Rail-
way at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the
important ports of Gloucester aid Bristol, indeed the most direct
line from the north of England te the Bristol Channel. lt will also,
In conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan-
sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, fom the most advan-
tageous rout* from Cwansea and the iron districts ef South Wales,
M Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull.

The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at
Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley
Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction
with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug-
gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the midland counties,
Staffordshire lotteries, Sheffield, and Hull ; and, In addition to the
carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and
Kidderminster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of
England, and Scotland—will secure a large patteenger Waite in the
district through which it passes. A branch Will be made from New-
port to the important town of Wellington.
The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be-
tween the two termini of Crewe. ask! Gloucester, will wave in (Maarten
at the pro,
sent rapid rate of travelling, in abeut two hours. This project as, a
junction lino, connects itself with some of the most impprtant rail-
ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large,ixtenwive, and densely-
populated iron districts of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its
course passes through a rich agricultural country. It must, there-
fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient train* to pay a high
rate of interest on the capital required.
There are no engineering difficulties in the country through which
the line is intended to pass, the whole being nearly on a level, and
on reference to the map of oountry, taken from the Ordnance survey,
which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and
will at the same time show the superior advantages it possesses, and
that it cannot be surpassed by any existing or projected lines betweea
WO same tortillal.

It will not interfere with any ornamental property, put 31 • tunnel-
ling will be required.
Application is intended to be made, in the ensuing session t..f Par'
]lament, for a direet line of railway (of which a survey has be:.n
made) ftom Southampton to Kidderminster, and by which a ready
comnmnicationwill be afforded to the most southern parts of England,
The liabilities of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of
their subscriptions, and interest will be allowed on the deposits and
furtker calls, from the date of the several payments to the opening of
the line.

Prosp,,etuses, with maps and forms of application for shares, can
be had from the Secretary on application at the temporary offices

ENGINBEA—EIijah Gallaway, Esq.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland
Counties Railway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle
Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to
Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birminghara branch,
projected by the Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaten,
the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Talley lite.
Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important
towntif Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and
Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same
time a rich mineral and agricultural district will be supplied with
railway advantages. •

A reference to the map will shot,' that this railway will also warn-
'nand other collateral advantages. _

There is ao doubt that the proposed railway coraminication be-
tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, is which case the
proposed line will 111 ap the railway chasm at preoeut existing be-
tween the eouuties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham
and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line from the Severn at Glouces-
ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great
Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company
being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended
In rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it
must be obvious that the traffic to that port, front the district mouth-
west of Warwick, will he very great. _ .

The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington,
Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about twenty miles ;
and between Birmingham and Nottingham, the saving will be about
six miles. Being the shortest _ronte from Birmingham to Not-
tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffie from Birmingham to
Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and
by joining with the Enmesh Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must
command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district soath
of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England
generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not-
tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means
efthe projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, sad the Warwick
and Worcester Railways.
The entire length of the line will be about 28 miles. The Com-
pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has
made his report, that the eharacter of the country through which
the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable fir engineering
purposes.

It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, la-
tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-worts, and will
afford commualcation Borth and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries.
With such an assured immediate and prospective smut of traffic,
the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re-
munerative.

Powers for allowance of interest at four per cant. en the paid-up
capital will be taken, and the liability of sharehtiders limited to the
&meant of their subscriptions.

Prospectuses may be had at the Temporary Offices of the Company,

tions for shares, addressed to the Previsional Committee, will be
