This railway will connect the important and hitherto neglected
town of Barnet with the London and Birmingham and the Great
Western Railways, at or near Holsdon-green ; with the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway, at or near Totten-
ham ; and the proposed Direct London and Manchester, and the Lon-
don and York Railways.
The line, in its course, will unite the town of Barnet with Whet-
Totteridge, Ilighwood Hill, Milt Hill, Finchley, Holder's Hill,
Hendon, Burrows, Golder's Hill, Gntterhedge, Kingsbury, Neesdon,
Wiladon, Whalen Green, Holsdon Green, Kensall Green, Westbourne

lliackwajl, Eus ton-square, Paddington, Kensington, Hammersmith,
Crompton
Fulham, Chelsea, &c. ; connecting those places with the
,
'various railways named, and all those south of the river Thames.
The distance from the town of Barnet to the station of the London
and Birmingham Railway, at Eu.ston-square,.by this route, will be
15 miles.
The length of the main line, from the point of junction at Totten-
ham to the London and Birmingham Railway, will be 1 I miles ;and
the length of the branch line to Barnet, will be 4', miles. Fes; and
jinietion with the Birmingham Railway to Chipping Barnet, 9%
miles ; from the Decoy (near Brent-street, Hendon), on the proposed
Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, to the Northern
anti Eastern Counties Railway, by Stamford-hill, 6% miles.
There are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
The line will proceM beyond the range of the Highgate and Hamp-
stead Hills, and the branch from the main line to Barnet will follow
the valley of the river Brent to the intended station at Barnet ; thus
the expense of construction will thl. less than any other metropolitan
line of railway, for the above reason, and because it will pass through
an agricultural district, avoiding all ornamental property aid large
collections of houses and buildings.
Upon the completion of this railway, a large and dally-increasing
population, resident beyond the limits of the metropolitan omnibuses,
will be largely benefited, and land and agricultural produce, hitherto
ntionlire, an inadequate return to their cultivators, will be quad-
rupled in value.
The ancient, populous, and once-flourishing town of Barnet, too,
will taow have a railway communication of its own, without depend-
ing uson the caprice or uncertain goodnature of any company who
may hold out a prospect of a branch, in liiture times, from some of
the trunk lines now contemplated.
An ample return of profit to the investments of shareholders may
be safely anticipated, and will arise from the following' seurees,
amongst others:-
1. From the conveyance of passengers.
2. From the carriage of goods and merchandise from the City and
Docks, Rae., to the several railways which are intersected by this
line, avoiding the delay and excessive cost of conveyance through
London ; also from the conveyance of cattle, Stc., more particularly
daring the period of the large Barnet fairs.
ad. From the conveyance of coal, both inland and seaborne fuel,
and oilier commodities of general consumption, the great expense
of which ha., long been felt by all classes as a most grievcn. ev...
Tho Commiti!ve of Management reserve to theteselves the power
of adopting, upon this line, locomotive power, or Presser's Railway
guide and safety wheels, as may be deemed expedient.

se circumstances, it is reasonable to anticipate that this
tire scheme wi mutate all interests of the county of Kent

With a view to afford the fullest assurance of the entire lines being
carried out, gentlemen locally interested have been associated with
the Directors of the Croydon Railway Company as members of the
Provisional Committee; and. in order more completely to identify
the scheme with the interests of the county, the necessary capital
will be raised by a separate fund, which will be apportioned princi-
pally between the proprietors of the Croy ion Railway Company and
the landowners and other parties connected with the district.
The Croydon Company have guaranteed that in the event of an
Act not being obtained in the next session, the subscribers shall not
be liable to more than 10s. per share for the expensas, and are pre-
pared to enter into an arrangement to construct a portion of the
line, and for the traffic being worked by them, and passed over their
railway upon reasonable terms, so as to secure the utmost econ my
and the best prospect of a large divisiblfprott.

The Committee of Management will vary or extend the line or
any branch or branches, and increase the capital, and generally per-
form any iet which they may deem necessary to insure the success
of the undertaking.

Applications for shares must be made to the solicitors (of whom
also prospectuses may be had), and should be made in the annexed
form, accompanied by a reference to some member of the Prowl-
atonal Committee, one of the solicitors, or a banker. Applications
from proprietors of the London and Croydon Railway Company and
from persons locally interested will have a preference.
