This railway will commence at Sheerness in ~,junction with 4
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite .Essex. coast, non -will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines (tom London by that town to Canterbury
and Dover.
The integral line will be continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Bay,; and from thence to the South-Eastern Extension
n.iteeris....a<.), at a ptlffit hear Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed on that line direct to Itatusgate eastwards, and direct to Deal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Sarr the
line will also be carried by a short extension to Margate.
By this project Margate will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis, instead of more than 100, as at present, and that too by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines.
The important town of Rains:ate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus atiorded a much
nearer overland route to London.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunction with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from the Northern, the Mid-
land, and the Eastern Counties, • will be conveyed to Dover and the
Continent via Sheerness, in , preference to a lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than 50 miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed,
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipsment and con-
veyance from else part of London to another wholly avoided.
A glance at the map also will shoW the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to Sheerness, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, and Dover, and the greater
part of Kent. Thousands of per Sons will proceed direct from the me-
tropolis to Margate and Rainsgate throughout, whilst a multitude of
others will prefer landing at Sheerness and then proceed by this rail-
way, thereby shortening the journey and avoiding the sea.
The importance of a direct line from Sheerness to Dover as a
national object, and the immense existing traffic in the direction of
the undertaking, with the great increase which the improved and
enlarged modes of a communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit-
tee from careful inquiry feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.
About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to Faversham

The extension to Margate

The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead flat from
Faversham to Margate.
The huided proprietors arc not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promotersi have projected it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances shout i hereafter render It ad-
visable.

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction In informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Previsional Commit-
tee of this Company and the Directors of the Railways north of the
Thames of such a character RA to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City train,
north of London.

To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of grount (the
southern boundary of which is within 500 yards of the Dank 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 Connnittee 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.

In conjunction with this enlarged plan, it is intended to embrace
that of a branch line to the present station of the Eastern Counties
Railway in Shoreditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
thee afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail-

Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com-
pany, will be 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 through which this Company proposes to run this line;
by this moans the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate commtudcation with the City ; while the dense popu-
lation of the City will enjoy a fact 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 with the outlay of the proposed
capital. That revenue will be derived thus

The daily passenger traftto on the Great Western amounts to
3,345 one-half of which reaches the City. The London and Bir-
mingham amounts to 4,3112 daily, two-thirds of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,40 e persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic daily
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban distriote reaching the City, now un-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:—
