The necessity of a City Terminus for the large railways on the
north side of London (which bring the traffic to the metropolis from
the greatest part of England, and from all Wales, Ireland, and Scot-
land) has been long felt, and has been particularly noticed and re
port, .d upon by the Board of Trade.
This railway removes that defect, as by it two City Termini will
re provided—one close to the bottom of Aloorgate-street, and the
,ther in Farringdon-street—for the Great Western, the London and
Ilirmingham, and the Northern and Eastern; and it will also eon-
wet all these railways with each other.

It will commence at the terminus of the Great Western Railway,
at Paddington, and proceed across the Edgeware-road, along the
hack of Lord's Cricket-ground, across the Avenue-road, under Prim-
rose-hill, to the London and Birmingham Railway (which it will
cross on a level or a viaduct, as may be preferred) ; thence across
the Hampstead-road, the Kentish Town-road, through the fields,
across Maiden-lane, across the Holloway-road, up to a point near
Islington Church, thence curving round to the Regent's Canal, near
to Frog-lane and the City Lock, across the Canal there, along the
back of Macclesfield-street, crossing the City-road, and passing close
by Messrs. Pickford and Co.'s warehouse, thence proceeding to and
across Old-street and Chiswell-street, to a spot near to the corner of
Fore-street and Little Moorfields, near the bottom of Moorgate-street,
where will be one City Terminus, from which a Branch is proposed
to be made, to join the Eastern Counties' Railway Terminus at
Shored itch. . - _ -

From the Regent's Canal, at the City Lock, another Branch of
this Litt t will proceed down the Tottenham Extension Railway to
Earringdon-street (the Act for which is now before Parliament),
wh ch will be the other City Terminus.
All the House Property required to be taken is of comparatively
little value, being chiefly small or fourth-rate houses.
Very careful surveys have been made of this line. The cost of
the present Metropolitan railways will form no criterion in judging of
the expense of this, as it differs most materially from them in this
circumstance, viz., that instead of the whole length being on arches,
there will only be 11,4 miles of it on arches or a viaduct, and the rest
will be ordinary earth work, cuttings, embankments, bridges, &c.;
and, therefore, it must be admitted by all experienced persons, that
the above capital is amply sufficient.
It is hardly possible to estimate the enormous traffic, in passengers
god goods, thAt will pass over this railway, for not mtly will it take
!he passengers to and from the above-named railways, but also all the
local passengers from the neighbourhood of Bayswater, Hyde Park-
.fardens, Oxford-terrace, Edgeware-road, Maida-hill, St. John's-wood,
Regent's-park, Camden-town, Hampstead, Kentish-town, Holloway,
tlighgat Islington, &c., will be carried by it to Moorgate-street or
Farringdon-street ; and, the purpose of collecting such passengers,
.t is pro used that carriages in connexion with the railway shall ply
constantly from the stations to points not exceeding one mile and a
talf distant, which distance will include all the places above-
named. The lowest estimate of the traffic shows that a clear profit
of 12 per cent. will be realised on the capital ; hut there is every
reason to believe that such estimate is far below what will be the
actual receipt.
In addition to the traffic, a large revenue will be obtained from the
,roio.d rents for the lanils let off for building s•tes, which will he un.

74. ually large on this line, from its sltua ion, and from the arrange-
Lent of the railway, whereby all the land at the City end will be
vailable for new houses, and will be formed into a new street, from
ie City-road to Fore-street.

The time for conveying passengers to Moorgate-street, from the
'rest Western Railway, will he Nine Minutes; the London anal Bir-
iingliani, Six Minutes; and other places i the same proportion.

. . . .
All the goods ❑ow removed from the above great railways by carts
d ww4wits, will also be conveyird by this railway to the City, and
