The proposed line is intended to form a connecting line between
the Great Western and the Birmingham Railways, and the most
central part of London, and thus to obviate the serious inconvenience
arising from the great distance of their respective termini from the
City. It will also meet the expressed wish of the Board of Trade in
favour of a central terminus.
To accomplish this desirable object, the line will commence at the
South-west corner of the new Farringdon-street, passing in a north-
westerly direction to Battle-bridge, and f om thence it will proceed
almost in a straight line to the luggage station of the Birmingham
Railway, at Camden-town.
The houses in and about Saffron-hill, and also on the greater part
of the line, are small, and of such a description that their removal
will greatly benefit the neighbourhood, by improving its salubrity,
and increasing the value of the surrounding property.
The Provisional Committee have satisfied themselves, by careful
surveys, that no engineering difficulties will present themselves in
the construction of this rails•*', and it may be reasonably expected
to-yields fair profit to -the subscribers, as it is calculated that, by
fares from passengers alone, a return of more than 71. per cent. upon
the capital will be realised, without including what will be received
for ground rents, vault rents, the carriage of goods and cattle, and
also irrespective of the increased traffic which may reasonably be
anticipated from the lines already formed, or contemplated, to the
north and north-east of London, and of which the terminus of this
Company will eventually become the common centre.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his subscription,
and power will he taken in the Act of Incorporation to allow 41. per
cent. interest on deposits and calls, from the period of obtaining the
Act until the completion of the line.
Applications for shares, in the form required by the Registration

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
ported upon by the Board of Trade.
This railway removes that defect, as by it two City Termini will
be provided—one close to the bottom of Moorgate-street, and the
other in Farringdon-street—for the Great Western, the London and
Birmingham, and the Northern and Eastern; and will also con-
nect 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
back 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
Shoreditch.
From the Regent's Canal, at the City Lock, another Branch of
this Line will proceed down the Tottenham Extension Railway to
Farringdon-street (the Act for which is now befbre Parliament),
which 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.4iffers most materially from them in this
circumstance, viz., that instead of the whole length being on arches,
there will only be 1i 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
and goods, that will pass over this railway, for not only will it take
the passengers to and from the above-named railways, but also all the
local passengers from the neighbourhood of Aayswater, Hyde Park-
zardens, Oxford-terrace, F.dgeware-road, Maida-hill, St. John's-wood,
Regent's-park, Camden-town, Hampstead, Kentish-town, Holloway,
Highgat i, Islington, &c., will be carried by it to Moorgate-street or
Farringdon-street ; and, fur the purpose of collecting such passengers,
it is pros osed that carriages in connexion with the railway shall ply
constantly from the stations to points not exceeding one mile and a
half 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 ; but 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 revenee will be obtained from the
ground rents for the lands let off for building sites, which will be un-
usuelly hrge on this line, from its situation, and from the arrange-
ment f •11.-: railway, whereby all the land at the City end will be
available for new houses, and will be formed into a new street, from
the City-road to Fore-street.
The time for conveying passengers to Moorgate-street, from the
'Treat Western Railway, will be Nine Minutes; the London and Bir-
mingham, Six Minutes ; and other places i the same proportion.
All the goods now removed from the above great railways by carts
and waggons, will also be conveyed by this railway to the City, and
to Messrs. Pickford's large warehouses, In a few minutes, at a trifling
expense.
Great portion of the capital has been already subscribed.

Commencing at a point northward of the Oakley station, on the
Birmingham and Derby portion of the Great Midlands, this railway
will unite with the Trent line, and thence proceed to the towns of
Walsall and Wolverhampton, joining the Grand Junction Railway
and the contemplated lines in the direction of Dudley, Bilston, Kid-
derminster, Stdarbridge, Stourport, Bewdley, Tenbury. Leominster
and Hereford.

Whilst by these means a communication of great local importance
will be opened between Nottingham and Derby, Burton, Lichfield
Stafford, the Potteries. and Shrewsbury,—the more important public
necessity will be supplied of bringing the producing districts of Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire and the ports of the East of England
into direct contact, by a continuous railwav route, with the great
mineral districts of South Staffordshire, the Bristol Channel, and the
ports of South Wales. • _

The length of railway to be constructed will not exceed thirty
miles, and the distance saved between the towns contiguous to or
beyond the respective termini will be about fifteen.
The country presents no peculiar engineering f attire. The line
interferes with no ornamental property, and has the support of the
principal landed proprietors.
In the allotment of Shares provision will be made for landowners
and other local interests, and the residue will be issued to the pubic,
being shareholders in the Trent Valley Railway Company.
Copies of the Prospectus, and forms of application for Shares, with
a map of the proposed line, may be obtained on and after Monday, at
the Company's offices, 68, George-street, Manchester; from Mr.
Birch, at Lichfield ; or at the offices of the, Trent Company, 11,

The objects of this undertaking are to provide the shortest prac-
ticable route betwixt the towns of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds,
and the most direct and independent communication to the Midland
Railway, and thence to the metropolis and the south ; also to open
the rich and extensive coal fields which abound the whole length of
the line.

This project will effect a junction with the Manchester and Leeds
Railway, sear to the Wakefield station, and by means of a short
breech, join the Midland Railway near the Oakenshaw station.
The station of this line at Wakefield will be situate in Westgate, in
the heart of the town, and the railway will pass from thence along
the Wrenthorpe Valley, by East Ardsley ant' Churwell, effecting
at this point a junction with the Leeds and Dewsbury line. From
Churwell the route diverges by.Fernlsy, passing between Black-gates
and Nisbet-hall, south of Fulneck to Leister Dyke, and thence to
Bradford, where a junction will be effected by means of a branch
with the Leeds and Bradford Railway, and its extension, thus afford-
ing the best means of outlet to Bingley, Keighley, Skipton, Kirby
Lonsdale, and to the west and north-west.

In addition to the importanceof establishing the most'direct practi-
cable communication betwixt the above-mentioned towns, this pro-
ject possesses within itself the elements •of one of the best paying
mineral lines in the kingdom, passing as it does through rich and
extensive coal fields, extending the whole length of the proposed
route, great portions of which are alreadyln course of working, and
will, by the favourable gradients of this line, be readily transmitted
not only to Bradford, and the north-west, where fuel Is much re-
quired to meet an increasing demand, but also to the eastern coast.
It must be evident to any one conversant with the position of the
town of Bradford, that notwithstanding the importance to which it
has so rapidly risen, independent of ordinary facilities, either from
inland navigation, or communication by railway, it has not hitherto
received that consideration to which it was entitled, and it is only
fair to assume that had it possessed the same advantages of direct
intercourse as other inland towns, its commercial prosperity would
have still more advanced.

Irrespective, however, of the importance of this, line of communi-
cation to the town of Bradford, and viewing it in connexion with
other existing and projected lines of railway, it presents a most
important link in the chain of communication for passengers, mine-
rals, and general mercantile traffic, from Bradford to the metropolis,
and the south, and betwixt the eastern and western coasts. It will
else be the most available source for the transit of wool and general
merchandise from the eastern coast and the south to Bradford, and
for limestone, iron, slates, cattle, and other produce from the west
and north-west, to the south and east.
The important corn and cattle markets of Wakefield will, by this
project, be the means of diffusing still greater advantages to the most
densely populated districts of the West Riding. The facilities of
transit for horned cattle from the north and north-west to Wakefield
have hitherto been extremely limited, whilst the purchasers of grain
from Bradford, Keighley, and the surrounding districts have, for the
want of a more direct route, been debarred from availing themselves
of the most extensive home corn market in the kingdom.
The advantages arising from this undertaking are equally calcu-
lated to benefit the manufacturing interests of the town of Leeds,
which will alike share with the towns of Bradford and Wakefield, the
shortest available route, not only from the eastern coast, by means of
the Wakefield,' Pontefract and Goole Railway, but also from the
south by means of the projected communication with the Midland
Railway, near to Oakenshaw.
Viewing this line as a completing link in the chain of communica-
tion, not only between the towns of Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds,
but also as effecting a junction between the Midland, Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole, Leeds 'and Dewsbury, West-Riding Junction,
Leeds and Bradford Railways, and the proposed extension to
Keighley, Skipton and tile North-West, this railway will be the
means of connecting a greater number of lines, at present alike se-
vered, and unavailable to each other, than, perhaps, any other Single
project of the like extent.
The facilities for accommodating the local traffic will best be
exemplified by the following table of distances

These are points with respect to distances (taking into account
the peculiar features of the country), between the important towns
of Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, which will bear comparison with
the best laid-out lines in the kingdom, whilst in cost of construction
this project may be as favourably compared with any existing or
proposed line in the West Riding.
Irrespective, however, of the local traffic which must necessarily
pass along this line, as the shortest route betwixt the towns of
Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds, and apart from the minerals which,
by its means, must find an outlet to the Wakefield, Pontefract, and
Goole, Midland, York, and North Midland, and Hull and Selby Rail-
ways, the staple trade of Bradford will receive an invaluable ac-
quisition.
About 200,000 packs of wool are annually sent to the town of
Bradford, for consumption in the worsted districts of the West
Riding, upwards of two-thirds of which are derived from the south
or south-east, and would, therefore, pass along this railway. Similar
remarks will, to a great extent, apply to bale goods, oil, groceries,
and general merchandise.
The gradients of the line will be peculiarly favourable, admitting
of an almost level plane of nearly five miles in extent in the centre,
with descents in no instance exceeding one in one hundred towards
each terminus.
By the proposed Act the liability of Shareholders will be limited to
the amount of their several su,scriptions.
Application for Shares may be made to the Secretary in the fol-
lowing form :
