This railway will co►inect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with tho London and Birmingham sad the Graut
Western Railways, at or near Hoisdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totte►►-
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 witk Whet-
stone, Totteridge, 'Bellwood Hill, Mill Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gutterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdou,
Wilsdon, Wilsdon Green. Hoisdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne
Green, Maids Hill, Kilburn, Hampstead, West End, Highgate, Crouch
End, Hornsey, Muswell Hill, West Green, Tottenham, Edmonton,
Chinford, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Newington Green, Clap-
ton, Ilighbury, Holloway, Kingsland, Layton, Stratford, West Ham,

Hackney, Shacklewell, Holston, Islington, St. Pancras,
.Shoreditch,
Blackwell, Euston-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Itrompton, Fulham, Chelsea, &e. ; connecting those places with the
varjous railways monad, 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 41,4 miles. From the
Junction with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping 11.trnet, 93
miles ; frora 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,titres.
. . .

There are no engineering slitilealtied throughout the entire distance,

The line will proceed beyond the range of 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
expense of construction will be less than any other metropolitan
U .e of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property and large
collections of hous:ie and buildings.

Upon the completion of this railway, a largo and dally•incrcasing
population, resident beyond the limits or the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
affording an• inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.

Tho ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnut, too,
will now have a railway comumnioation of its own, without depend-
ing upon the caprice or uncertain gooduature of any coinpaay who
ni.ty hold out a Prospect of a branch, in future times; from some of
t le trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders' may
be safely anticipated, and will arise item the following soarceo,
amongst others:—

1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, Eko., 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
daring the perhxl of the large Barnet fairs
3(1. Front the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne the%
a►d other commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which has long been felt by all classes as a most grieveio
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 bo dee►ned expedient.
