The Previsional Committee of the North Loudon Junction Rail-
way Company have g rta. satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Ram) a 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 Wadi°
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of gromid (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 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 Easter* Counties
Railway in ghoreditoh, which will effect, an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time allord 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 thcoposition of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will he 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 railway.
A. lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district throcgh 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, commui ication with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a faci 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 witk 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 :10,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, new un-
ac,tommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived :

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