The object of this undertaking is to form an unbroken link or
communication with all the existing railways, by which means
more particularly the Western, Southern, Eastern, South-Eastern,
and South-Western parts of the kingdom may be traversed from the
Northern Districts, without the necessity of making the metropolis
a resting-place either for iassengers or goals : and thus obviating
considerable expense and groat loss of time.
The length of the main line will be 62 miles, commencing at Hert-
ford, (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway),
eontin .ing its coarse by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it
will cross the London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to
Rlekrnansworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass
under the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colnbrook, (having
a braneh to Windsor from the main line at Horton), cross the Thames
at Staines, to Egham, Chertsey, passing into the South Western
Railway at the Weybridge Station, approaching Cobham, Leather-
head,cioDorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will form a
ittn
ig,,, with the South-Eastern and London and Brighton Railways.
The t distance from each other of the various termini of rail-
ways in London, has for a length
of time occupied the attention of
the legislature and o
one line to another ; and after
of property hc.. beenratnh interested Companies ; but the great value
been deemed the most efnclet
meat : hence the n of a more direct communication from
ZyuPorableo'sstacle to effecting any improve-
surveys thus made, and also t't
careful surveys the present plan has
y exztural ;
meet every desideratum. For the
already taken, there do not asp from

North with the products of the South,nting and it will open a wide
the
ble mode of obtaining every description manufactures of the

In consulting the best statistieal authorities, and on the inc.,..„,
Ce
on derivable from the only certain mode of obtainingthe -x-istill"
and fluctuating traffic on so novel a feature as this projected rallwayg
a considerable difficulty has necessarily presented itself in arriving
at a maximum of profits, but it can with certainty be announced that
from the reSources of traffic from the manufacturing districts, rest.

f procally with the counties through which the railway is intended to
pass, the revenue upon the capital will yield at least 10 per cent.
As the project developes itself; the most cheering patronage is
manifest from influential landowners and other proprietors declaring
that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands ;
and who have promised to give this project their undivided support.
Government for a length of time have deemed it advisable to send
troops with all their materiel by railways, and the facilities which
can be thus afforded will form a communicating medium with ever;
military depot throughout Great Britain.
Suffice it to state that coal, wool, timber, corn, bark, lime, tutu
every variety of product or manufacture mast inevitably find their
transit by this railway, to meet the demands or e.xigenotes of se-
veral counties hitherto subjected to the impost of incalculable ex-
pense and delay attendant on goods at present being compelled to
pass through London.
