The object of this line is to make a short and direct communication
between the populous manufacturing and iron and coal districts of
Bradford, Cleckheaton, Heckmondwike, Batley, Dewsbury, Barns-
ley, and Sheffield, with the wool and agricultural districts of Lei-
cestershire, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Galasborough, Lincoln, &c., and
the port of Boston.

The line will form a junction with the West Yorkshire, the Leeds
and Dewsbury, and the Manchester and Leeds Railways, at or
near Dewsbury; and thence proceed by Darton to Barnsley, and
Wombwell, to or near to Wath-upon-Dearne, near Swinton ; where
it will join the North Midland Railway, and also meet the proposed
line to Doncaster, Bawtry, Gainsborough, and Lincoln ; and form a
communication by the existing lines with the port of Boston and the
south ; and by the projected Hull and Barnsley Junction Railway ;
it will also form a direct line to Hull, and by the Leeds and Thirsk
Railway, a direct line to the nortk.

The line will also be continued from Barnsley by Tankersley and
Ckapeltown to Sheffield.

_ .
A branch will run to the various Ironworks and Colliery Rail-
ways, near Wentworth ; and another branch will run to the Silk-
stone Colliery Railways.
A direct line of communication will thus be formed between the
Important manufacturing places of Bradford, Bierley, Cleckheaton,
Cromersall, Heckmondwike, Liversedge, Batley, Dewsbury, Ossett,
Thornhill, Dayton, Barnsley, Ardsley, and Wombwell, to Wath-
upon-Dearne, Doncaster, Lincolnshire, the port of Boston, and the
south, and also to Sheffield ; affording the best possible accommoda-
tion to the rich iron and coal districts of Silkstone, Worsborough,
Tankersley, Chapeltown, and Sheffield; whilst the wools and raw
materials ased in the manufactures at Bradford, Pudsey, Earlsheaton,
aleckheaton, Batley, Heckmondwike, Dewsbury, and Barnsley, as
well as corn and cattle, will be received by the shortest and most di-
rect line of transit from Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
and the southern parts which supply these commodities, in exchange
for the manufactures, coals, and minerals of those districts.

It must be evident to every one, on looking at the map, that this
line is imperatively called for, as up to this period the only rail-
way communication for the supply of wool and other goods, and the
conveyance of passengers to Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Batley,
Cleckheaton, Bradford, and the intermediate places (each containing
a numerous manufacturing population), has been the North Midland
line by Normanton—a very circuitou► route, as appears by the fol-
lowing statement of distances of those places :

The present distance to Sheffield from Bradford is about 51 miles;
by the proposed line it will be 31,—0r a saving of 20 miles.
From Dewsbury by the present route Sheffield is distant 40 miles ;
by the proposed line it will be 21,—0r a saving of 19 miles.
The same observations, as to saving of distance, apply to London
and all intermediate places ; and it is important to observe that either
by the present North Midiaaid line, or by the projected London and
York Railway, this proposed line will be the shortest and most direct
route from Bradford, Dewsbury, &c., to London.
It may also be noticed, that from Swinton to Leeds by this ploject
and the Leeds and Dewsbury line, the distance is much less than by
way of Normanton.
The following table, taken from the Parliamentary Census of 1841,
will give some idea of the populous Districts through which the line
passes :

The traffic through this district is immense.

A careful survey of the line and branches has been made by the
engineer, and the scheme will be submitted to Parliament at the ap-
proaching session.
Power is reserved to continue the line northward to Bradford, if
the Company should think At.
Provisions will be inserted in the Act of Parliament to allow inte-
rest at 4 per cent. on the deposits and calls, from the passing of the
Act, until the opening of the railway; and for limiting the share-
holders' liability to the amount of their subscriptions.
Power will also be applied for in the Act (and in the meantime is
reserved to the Managing Committee), to abandon or alter any part of
the line, and to make branches ; and also to enter into any arrange-
ments with any other company er companies.
A liberal portion of the shares will be reserved for the landowners
and others having local interests; and such companies as this line
may form junctions with, or with whom this Company may be con-
nected.
Applications for shares (in the form given below), and for pro-
spectuses, may be made to the Solicitors, and also to Mr. Charles
Dyson, Sharebroker, Boar-lane, Leeds ; Messrs. Wilson and Bella-
well, Sharebrokers, Huddersfield ; and Mr. John Brooke, Broker,

Thc; CGArriTTI;I7 aI.I.SAL;;MEN'T ,:ve notice, that they
have completed the allotment of shares, and that the usual letters
will forthwith be issued. The task of deciding upon claims of ex-
traordinary extent and respectability has been arduous and painthil-
but the Committee have felt it to be their duty to give precedence
in the allotment to applicants locally Interested, and to such parties
as, from their position in the railway community, can render bene-
ficial aid and co-operation to the undertaking, to the Inevitable ex-
elusion of vast numbers of applicants to whose claims, under other
circumstances, they would most willingly have attended.
The Committee have the pleasurable duty of recording the fact,
that by every town on the line between Cheltenham and ;South-
ampton, including both those places, and Marlborough, Cirencester,
Stockbridge, Romsey, Andover, as well as the town of Poole, a most
favourable expression of opinion has been spontaneously offered, and
active assistance tendered ; and that from the town of Manchester
a highly influential petition of merchants and traders will convey
to Parliament a strong expression of interest in the proposed railway.
It is, at the same time, satisfactory to the Committee to add, that in
the midst of these active demonstrations in favour of the under-
taking, the engineering preparations, relating as well to the line
from Cheltenham to Southampton, as to the line by Ludgershall to
Salisbury and Poole, have been vigorously prosecuted, and that the
surveys are in such a state of forwardness as justifies the announce-.
ment that the project will he brought before Parliament in A way sa-
tisfactory to the subscribers.
As regards the additional capital required for the extension. line to
Poole, the Committee will be prepared to announce the moose in which
it will be raised so soon as importantnegotiations, now on foot, shall
be concluded.

PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
mnt districts embraced by the line.

Secondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and
its ports, including that of Hull.

Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.
♦t Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town and Market
Rasen, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
Ry an union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Rasen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Rasen and Lincoln.

From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the trellis to Lincoln, its
county tewn.
The traffic from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Itasen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over the lines.
In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the south and
west, and else the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the
foriner the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not succee3, such traffic will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of
Oakingliam and llppingham, is without a railway or water-carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
the west but also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London, which shall be successful before Parliament.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ;
indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The: promoters reserve power to alter and vary tie route, to ex-
tend the proposed line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca-
pital as may be necessary or advisable.

This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will
commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from
thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it
will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail-
way which converge from Hereford, and run into the west of Eng-
land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of
South Wales, and the important district of central Wales.
The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the
Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that
portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs
from Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain of railway
communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal
and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large
mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc-
tion with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and
will be the only means of enabling Birmingham, Wolverhampton,
Wednesbary, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other
surrounding towns, to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng-
' land to Ireland by means of Porthdynllaen, the fUture outport for
Ireland.
It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England,
Manchester, and Liverpool from South Wales, and be a direct line
from the centre of Wales Into the midland counties. Thus the coals
and other minerals, and the extensive and constantly increasing
ironworks of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the ma-
nufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire
and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales Hereford-
shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and eheap transit.
This railway is essential to complete the direct east and west
traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under-
taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholders, and a
vast augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through
tr tffic, will make the stock of the Company produce nine per cent.
So convinced was an important railway company of the great
traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought np the Pro-
moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense.
The line is free from engineering difficulties, and the gradients
are
highly favourable. The Directors reserve the powerveof adopting the

This railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with st
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South-
end, on the opposite ;Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from 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
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro-
ceed,on that line direct to Ramsgate 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 Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental communication, will also be thus afforded 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 transhipsmeut and con-
veyance from one 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 persons will proceed direct from the me-
tropolis to Margate and Ramsgate 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 lino 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.

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 landed proprietors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have projected it.

bury and to Deal, if circumstances shoull hereafter render it ad-

The Provisional Committee of the North London Junction Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscriber.;
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 as to assure them that the City terminus
of this Company will form the Grand Terminus of all the City traffic
north of London.
To effect this important object, an area of 10 acres of ground (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 Eastern Counties
Railway in Shorpditch, which will effect an entire junction between
the eastern and western parts of the metropolis ; and at the same
time afford a direct communication between the whole of the rail-
ways, which reach London to the north of the Thames, and frivo
dill 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 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 means the most casual observer will be enabled to ascertain
that the environs of London, north of the Thames, will be placed in
immediate communication 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 with the outlay of the proposed
capital. Tkat 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 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passengers from the suburban districts reaching the City, now uu-
accommodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.
From these sources the following products are derived:—
Per Ann.
Pass engers from the Great Western and Birmingham Rail-
way, at 6d. each. • . .
Passengers from the Eastern Counties to the City terminus
of this Company, at 3d. each ..
Omnibus passengers' traffic, at 6d. each, as taken at
present ............. .
142,208 tons of goods and parcels pass annually from the
Great Western and the London and Birmingham Rail-
ways into the City, at an average cost of carriage of 3s.
6d. per ton throughout. For the carriage of these goods
and parcels, therefore, at the reduced cost of 2s. 6d. par
ton, a revenue may be derived of •... • • •• • .
From the carriage of goods, parcels, and mails, bringing in
