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 Holsdon-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, 31111 Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's 11111, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Holadon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne
Green, Maida Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch
End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton,
Chiufbrd, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap-
ton, Highbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham,
Bow, Bromley, Bethnal Green, Limehouse, Hoxton, Homerton,
Hackney, Shaeklewell, Dalston, Islington, St. Pancras, Bhoreditch,
Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Brompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; 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 London
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 4y, miles. From the
junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 94
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- ml'ee.
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 agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property arid large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and daily-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will he largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.
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.
Au ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following sources,
amongst others :-
1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of gOods and merchandise frnm the City and
Docks, &e., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, &c., more particularly
during the period of the large Barnet fairs.
3d. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne filet,
and other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grievceb
The Committee of Management reserve to themselves the power
of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

SEcßETAnv—llenry Moreing, Esq.
At several large public meetings held in October last, at Brantford,
Islewortb, and Hounslow, resolutions were unanimously passed in
favour of establishing a railway commtinication with the metropolis,
and the Gazette roticcs were actually published ; but the difficulty
of obtaining a snitahle terminus in London induced the principal
promoters of this important undFrtaking to postpone bringing their
scheme before the public.
This inmetLment has now been overcome, and by a proposed Junc-
tion with the Central Terminus and the Thames Embankment Rail-
way, parties travelling by this line will be enabled to proceed
directly to the haart of the metropolis; turd by, the united Railways,
which will ramify from this point, to almost every part of the country
without interruption.
fly the intended Junction, also, with the Great Western Railway,
at or near West Drayton, and by the intersection of the Birmingham
Railway at Ifensington, these important lines will be supplied with
direct access to the Central Terminus, and 'hence to Mae City, or to
the Southern awl Eastern Lines.
