The Previsional Committee of the North Loudon Junctien Rail-
way Company have great satisfaction in informing their subscribers
that negotiations are now pending between the Provisional 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 trails
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 11 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 Shorediteh, 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 tcthe 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.
_ _ _

W 11•••••••••••• •••••••....•
Independently, therefore, of the almost incalculable local traffic
which the position of their City terminus will ensure to this Com=
;any, will he added that of those companies also who will eventually
co-opera. e 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.
.1 lithographic sketch now publishing will accurately define the
entire district throrgh 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 bit
immediate commutication 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 revenas 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-thiri.s of which reach the
City. The Eastern Counties amounts to 2,409 persons daily, half
of whom pass to the West-end of London. The omnibus traffic dally
is 30,894 passengers, two-thirds of which may be given to the City.
Passeng3rs from the suburban districts reaching the City, new un-
neanumodated by any railway, are estimated at 4,000 daily.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
h
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
ICToonyg)l,eatoond tformLneetence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole

length of the proposed lino will be about sixty-six miles. it
will be

seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route fronalverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin-
ainindpotirtarfeaturein this railway is that it forms the
unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
gmd oo
most

theThkein
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, with the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only
158 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the
Trent Valley Railway 2001/2 miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles is
one instance, and 1234 miles in the other.
And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Derby will be
breduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance y any present existing railway, at least
4i miles; an advent sge which
carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such importantfor other
owns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, t railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted, o. h t
The distance also from 3 eine es er to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the 3 anclester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and frofnotLeek to Derby about 26% miles,
making the whole distance

ant
. stance by any present communi-
cation between those imeorta
andiewns Jay about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.
The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester alßugby Direct Railway) is 4714 milts;
from Leek to Rugby. accordiiiur
Railway, to the line as proposed by the Man-
chester and Rugby Direct .. 68 miles, and from Rugby to
London 83 miles; thus making see whole distance from Liverpool to
London 1881/a miles, instead of 210, by the present route.
With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived willbe immense.

Th 4 ~‘'.ottingham and Nottinghamshire
Banking Company 40 Lincoln by nearly a
Canal Company. One of its objects is the conversion 0.
the Chesterfield
straight line, and has been formed by an union vrti,: '
that canal
nit° a railway (as far as it may be available), so ES to give b... most
complete system of railway accommodation from Great Grimsb,
Wainfleet, Ilorneastle,
Louth, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, and
Worksop, to Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Bakewell, Buxton,
Stockport, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birkenhead ; also the most
direct communication from east to west, withlitacciesfield, Congleton,
Crewe, Chester, Bangor, and Ireland; as well as nearly direct access
to the Staffordshire Potteries and Iron districts of North Staffordshire;
also to Shrewsbury and North and South Wales. Southward, it will
give a good communication to Derby, Birmingham, Droitwicn, Chel-
tenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and Southampton.
This line will commence at Lincoln, and go nearly direct to East
Retford, Workso
and Chesterfield, where it it will join the Mid-
land Railway, thep, Chesterfield and Sheffield Railway, and also the
Proposed North Derbyshire lines, which proceed direct to Manchester
and Liverpool, and North Staffordshire. In length it will be about
56 miles.
A section of the line will commence at Gainsborough, and join the
main line at East Retford : a branch will be made from Worksop to
join the Midland near Beighton, so as to give railway accommoda-
tion to Rotherham and the nortern districts. This branch will take
the course of the Chesterfield Canal, which it is proposed to use in
its construction.
A glance at the map will at once show the importance of this
national undertaking. In connexion with other lines it will form
the most direct and valuable trunk line from east to west than has
yet been.offeted for "public sunport ; it will join together nearly by a
direct route the most important manufactur:ng towns of Lancashire
and North Staffordshire, with the rich corn-growing districts of Lin-
coln and Nottinghamshire, and will give to the rising ports of Great
Grimsby and Wainfieet a most perfect access from nearly'all the
great manufacturing districts of the west.
The project, comprehensive and integral in itself, interferes with
no vested interests, and will form a considerable auxiliary and feeder
to the various lines with which it connects itself. It will offer a great
advantage to the public from its union with the Chesterfield Canal,
for that portion of the canal, not used for the railway, will give ex-
tensive local accommodation, by affording many more points of con-
tact with the consumer.
It is thought unnecessary to present any detailed estimate of
traffic, as it must be obvious from the above outline of the objects
to be accomplished, and the rich, populous, and productive agricul-
tural and manufacturing districts to be traversed and connected, and
the extent of inexhaustible coal-fields and lime and stone quarries in
the immediate neighbourhood of the line, that the project presents is
most advantageous investment for capital, and will afford an ample
remuneration to the shareholders ; In proof of which reference may
be made to the printed yearly accounts of the Chesterfield Canal
Company, which for an average of 10 years, commencing in 1834,
show a dividend of above 91. per cent. per annum.
Independently, however, of the local traffic, the through traffic
between the ports on the east coast, and the various districts to the
west, and the exports and imports which will be conveyed, cannot
fail to be most productive, and to give the shareholders a good return
for the outlay of their capital.
To the inhabitants of the various towns and districts which this
line traverses a complete system of railway accommodation will be
given ; and the bare mention of the project has called forth a spon-
taneous offer of support from almost every direction.
A general survey of the line has already been made, and instruc-
tions have been given for the necessary ground surveys, with a view
of obtaining an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and such
surveys are in so forward a state as to preclude the possibility of dis-
appointment.
Power will be given in the 13111 to allow interest at 4 per cent, per
annum, Imm the time of payment until the opening of the line, and
no liability will be incurred by any subscriber beyond the amount of
subscription.
In the allotment of shares the Committee will give a preference to
parties locally interested, and in all cases satisfactory reference will
be required to a banker or to some person of known respectability.
Applications for prospectuses and shares may be made to the soli-
citors and to the secretary.

The Southern Junction Railway is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
It 'trill afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, Maidenhead,
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover, Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more

direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ; and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents itself,
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and -sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
Session. •

rrHE GREAT WESTERN, BRENTFORD,
and CENTRAL TERMINUS JUNCTION RAILWAY
Company. Office, 53, Charing-cross.
At a meeting of the inhabitants and owners of property in
Hounslow and its 'vicinity, held on Saturday, the 11th instant, in pur-
suance of a requisition most numerously and respectably signed,
HENRY POWNALL, Esq., Spring-grove, Brentford, in the chair,
It was proposed by G. COOPER, Esq., seconded by Mr. Watataart,
and unanimously resolved-
1. That it is highly desirable that -railway communication be
established between Hounslow and London, and that it be as direct
as the nature of the country will permit, and follow as closely as
possible the course of the old coach thoroughfare.
Proposed by Major JELF SHARP, seconded by B. J. ARMSTRONG,
Esq., and unanitnously resolved-
2. That having heard and considered. a statement of the course
which the projected line of Mr. Page will take, this meeting is of
opinion that such line is most highly calculated to promote the
interests of this town and neighbourhood, and presents a prospect of
far greater advantage than any line crossing the river, and not pro-
ceeding directly to the centre of the metropolis: •
Proposed by JAS. MONTGOMERY, Esq. ; seconded by Mr. Km
and unanimously resolved-
3. That the line projected by Mr. PAge is particularly entitled to the
support of the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood for the
following amongst other reasons :-
1. That it is the line originally proposed by the inhabitants of this
district.
2. That it fellows the direct course of the ancient thoroughfare
from Hounslow to London, without crossing the River Thames.
3. That means having been taken for extending the original ter-
minus from 31illbank to the immediate vicinity of Charing-cross,
it presents a more convenient access to the metropolis than any other
line.

That this meeting, therefore, pledge themselves to give every assist-
ance in promoting the success of this line.
The thanks of the meeting were unanimously voted to Henry
Pow-nail, Esq., as well for his kindness in taking the chair, as for the
ability with which he presided over the meeting.
