".".1:171 ;1,13 aritw one line of railway for the aceorntoodation of North Kent will be sanctioned. • The population of the district to be accommodated (exclusive of London and Greenwich) exceeds 350,000, and from its proxi_ mity to the me'ropells, the amount of intercourse is extremely large. Wore than half a million of passengers have been conveyed by steam.boats in a single month between London and Gravesend ; and the amount of traffic, passing both by land • and water, to Rochester, Chatham, Maidstone, Canterbury, Ramsgate, Margate,.' Bcc., is also very great, and likely to increase largely with the ex. tension of facilities.. What proportion of this traffic may be olir. - 1 tamed by a railway in competition with steam.boats and other cheap conveyances, 4 of course to a certain extent speculative.' There !appears, however, to be sufficient data to warrant us in as suming that any of the schemes proposed for making a railway to • accommodate Norh Kent, may be considered as a fair and legiti. mate commercial speculation; and that the question is therefore reduced to a choice among the different competing schemes, of that which offers on the whole the greatest amount of public ad. vantage. The question is further narrowed by the exclusion of the line proposed by the Croydon Company, London, Chatham, and Chilham, No. 142, which, from the nature of its gradients, Is incapable of sustairling a serious competition with either of the other schemes, even if equal to them in other respects; while, from its direction, it is manifestly no less inferior in point of local accommodation and national advantage. The gradients are more severe than have ever been proposed for a locomotive line; 28 planes, extending over more than I.S miles of the first 30, being at an inclination of one in 50. It may be proper to state, that the Croydon Company (+b. tallied, in the last session of Parliament, an Act, under which they are proceeding to convert their existing locomotive line of railway from London to Croydon into an atmospheric line, in connexion with aeother Company, also sanctioned in the last sea. ' eion, and which continues the line on that principle, from Croydon to Epsom. In their subsequent projects, which are new under consideration, the Croydon Company equally adopt the atmospheric system of propulsion. If that system had already been applied ' successfully upon any long line of railway, the severity of the gradients in these projected lines would not have been considered so objectionable. It is clearly, however, impossible for us to assume the success of a system, as to which much difference of opinion exists among railway engineers, and which has not hitherto afforded such proof of its merits as could warrant us in giving the pre. ference to projected undertakings, the success of which must de. peed upon — results, as yet uncertain, while other projects are offered, to which no such eincertainty applies.

[Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed Feb. 33, 1845.] Railway Department, Board of Trade, Whitehall, Feb. 13, 1643. The Board constituted by minute of the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, for the transaction of railway busi ness, having had under consideration the different schemes depo. sitel with the Railway Department for extending railway commu nication in Kent, and the South-Eastern district, have determined on submitting the following report thereon for the consideration or Parliament. Tae list of schemes in this district shows that on the one band a very extensive and comprehensive system for the accammo-lation of the whole Kentish and South-Eastern district is proposed by C.,e South-Eastern Company, in connexion with their existing lines ; while, on the other hand, the same, cr nearly the same, object s are proposed to be attained by a number of new and independent schemes. This renders it necessary that we should begin by an explicit statement of the principles which have guided US, in this and aka, lar cant, in forming an opinion whether a preference ought, or ought not to be given, and if given, under whit conditions arid to what extent, to tines for completing the accommodation of Parti cular districts, which lines are in connexion with existing railways in those districts. In this, as in every other case, we have endea toured to keep steadily in view the attainment of the greatest at count of public advantage. .We have not recognised the existence of anything likes vested right in existing Companies to be protected from the same description of competition which they have ',themselves in. Meted cm canals and other existing modes of ceramunicatton. Beyond, perhaps, a bare preference, in cases of a:bsi.lute equality, due to the intereste of Shareholders, who themselves constitute a portion of the public, we have nut considered that ass existing rail way Company could claim any preference over other parties pro posing to effect the same objects, beyond that which might result from an identification of interest with the public.

Among the 10;000 in use, they have been adopted by the ofil4al authorities of the Rouses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, SOmerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service,. Reform, Conservative, and other CIO-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large -establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these :meters without regula tion or repair, sad which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry :•I eter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at iill times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

Considering the subject in this point of view, it appears to us that, as a general rule, the most important point for the interests of the public, is to secure the best permanent lines or railway corn. munication for the country at large and for the wants of the dis trict. To sanction an inferior or unnecessarily circuitous line, proposed by an existing Company, or to reject one t if decided public and local advantage, proposed by a new Company, for the sake of any terms that could be offered by an existing Conspany, would, in our opinion, be, except under peculiar circumstances, unfair to wards the local interests thus sacrificed, and unwise as regards the general and permanent interests of the public. ogifiLICATOIINF " ALL MEN ARE BRETHREN " Just published, price One Penny, ,IN ADDRESS to the FRIENDS of HU MANITY and JUSTICE among all NATIONS.

Assuming this to be the case, the question i s at once raised whether the public are likely to derive most benefit from compe. tition, or from arrangements with the existing Company.

Will be another advaLwo of 11 per ton.--13inningliam g " When the lines are very short, the probability- is that unless charges be moderate, road traffic will revive, and in such cases the public have a great degree of security. Again, ad, respects the carriage of goods, it is found in practice that by otiaer channels of conveyance, such as canals, an effective control ma.y, under certain circumstances, be placed upon railway charges. Rut in consider ing the case of passenger charges, and in all classes. of lines, except those which are so short as to be effectually checked by the ordi nary road, the Comniittee think that little can be permanently ex. pected from the mere multiplication of railways in the way of security for moderation of charge. There may be, indeed, indi. rest and accidental competition between railways, so'hich may cause Cheapness, and there may even be direct and brick competition, with great reductions of .fare for short periods ; beet in such cases of competition, somewhat modified, as have hitherto occurred, the result has generally been increase of charge by mutual arrangement or positive amalgamation of the competing Companies. The expe rience of the past is, however, limited, and might not, if taken alone, warrant any conclusive opinion ; but in looking to the na ture of the question itself, the Committee feel this difficulty, that they cannot, in case of railways, anticipate any such facilities in the introductiorrof new competitors as to check the rzroceedings of the, companies actually in possession of the traffic ; that in fact there is On district in which the traffic will support any considerable number of railways ; that there is no case in which they imagine a likelihood of more than two or, at the iery utmost, three lines of railway communication, which could be,so situated as to compete with one anotther, and they cannot conceive that two bodies, or even three, acting by corn. pact executive boards, and secure against the entrance of any other party into the field, Will fail to combine together. it is, therefore, their' apprehension, that in each cases, either the different railways will continue to be worked, and then that extreme measures will be taken in concert for the purpose of paying very moderate dividends, and it may be found that several capitals have beeffixpended for performl•;g the business which could have been equally well, or perhaps even better performed by one ; or a closer combination will take place among the Companies : they will choose the line upon which they can most profitably carry the traffic, and will leave the rival line or lines unoccupied." The principle here stated, that competition loses more or less of its value as a security for the public, when from the nature of the case it is limited to two or three parties, who are con'tantly urged by mutual interest to combine, has received abundant corroboration from the experience of what has already taken place in the history of railways. The following instances mu be mentioned where railway Com panies, in a situation to compete, have, after a short time, either amalgamated or cotnbined together, so as to put an sod to com petition The Leeds and Selby with the York and North Midland ; In this case the former line being virtually for several years shut up. The Birmingham and Derby with the Midland Counties. The Chester and Crewe with the Grand Junction. The Manchester and Birmingham with the Grand Junction. The Bolton and Preston with the North Union. The Northern and Eastern with the Eastern Counties. On the other hand, we are not aware of a single instance which can be pointed out, in which the public are now deriving any be. nefit from direct competition between two railways. In addition to the instances of combination between directly competing Companies, recent experience has furnished numerous instances of the tendency of smaller lines, originally sanctioned as independent undertakings, to resign their independence into the the hands of powerful neighbours. We may mention, among other instances of this tendency, the amalgamation or lease of the Sheffield and Manchester to the Midland and Manchester and Bir. mingham. Of the Bristol and Exeter, and Cheltenham and Great Western, with the Great Western. Ot the Hull and Selby, and Manchester and Bolton, with the Manchester and Leeds. Of the North Union with the Liverpool and .Mancheater and Grand Junction. —._.._ Of the Greenwich with the South. Eastern. Of the Shef f ield and Rotherham with the Midland. Of the Chester and Birkenhead with the Chester and Holyhead. Of the Bristol and Gloucester with the Birmingham and Gloucester. Besides others that might be quoted. The same principle has received further elucidation from the inquiries of Parliamentary Committees on former occasions as well as from the great body of evidence collected by the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Sanatory Condition of Large Towns, in regard to the operation of the principle of competition as compared to that of well.regulated monopoly in the analogous cases of water and gas companies. Indeed it is too evident, as a general propo sition, to be disputed, although great caution may be required in its application, and in discriminating those cases where the coin. petition is of a pure and simple nature, such as must eventually lead to a compromise, from those where a certain degree of indirect and incidental competition may exist, from which the public may ex pect to derive lasting benefit, either in the shape of reduction of charge or of extension of accommodation. When an existing Railway Company proposes schemes which, although only partially sufficient for the full accommodation of the district, may yet be sufficient to prevent other parties from enter. ing the field with further or improved projects in that district, the arguments against the creation of a monopoly acquire additional strength. The simpler case is, when, as in the present instance, the existing Company comes forward with a complete and compre hensive scheme, and the question is reduced to this : whether the existing Company is able and willing to offer guarantees for the public advantage superior to any that can be afferded by a new Com pany. Of the ability of an old Company to offer such guarantees there can, generally speaking, be little doubt. istly. An established Company, which has a valuable property and large available income independent of the new scheme, can, of course, offer a guarantee for the fulfilment of all that it under takes to accomplish greatly superior to that of any new Company, however respectable. This consideration derives great weight from the experience which has been already afforded of the failure of many new Cora. panies to accomplish the objects for which they were incorporated. We need only refer to the instances of the Eastern Counties Com. pany, which was incorporated as a line from London to Norwich, and has never yet been carried beyond Colchester ; of the Northern and Eastern, which for many years stopped short of Cambridge; and of the Great North of England, which abandoned the portion of its line between Darlington and Newcastle. 2dly. The traffic ofa system of lines connected with one another can always he worked more economically and conveniently under one uniform management than by independent Companies. The Company which works the main trunk line, and possesses the prin. cipal terminal stations, can run more frequent trains, and matte better arrangements for forwarding the traffic of tho cross lines, than it could afford to do if two or three separate establishments had to be maintained, and the harmony of arrangements depended on two or three independent authorities. Under such circumstances a conflict of feeling and interest has almost invariably grown up, from which the public has suffered the most serious inconvenience. When the traffic is large, this conflict has frequently led not only to increased inconvenience, but to increased danger; and where the terminus or a portion of the rails of one Company have been corn. mon to the other, these results have been greatly aggravated. 3dly. An established Company can always, if so disposed, offer guarantees and advantages for a greater extent of railway than the new Company, viz., for the existing as well as the projected lines. When the existing Company is already in possession of the principal trunk of the district, the advantage of securing such gua. rantees for the whole system, rather than for only a small portion of it, is rendered more apparent. The Select Committee of last session, for reasons which are fully stated in their report, attach great importance to the obtain ing of guaranties from existing Companies, by voluntary arrange ments similar to those which they recommended, and which Parliament subsequently adopted in the case of new rat '741 express a strong hope, " that among the existing Compa nies may be those which will be disposed to accede to arran g ements, are resembling, in their general principle and effect, now proposed for new railways " those h 4thly. Whatever guarantees may be thus offered by existing Companies possess the double advantage, as compared with similar offers from new Comp anies, of coming into immediate operation, and of being more certainly rendered effectual. An offer from a new Company to bind itself to charge fares consider. ably lower than those usual u p on other lines, might readily be made, in the hope of thereby securing their Bill; but the fulfil. ' , pent of it would depend almost entirely upon the eventual successof the line, and its ability to perform its engageme n t s , N o Act of Pathan' sent could compel an insolvent concern to carry at as low rates a nd afford as ample accommodation as a prosperous under. taking might be able to do. A moderate offer from an established Comp any, who can be relied on to fulfil their engagements, is there:fore preferable to ono apparently more advantageous from a new Company. F'or these, among other reasons, we conclude that the policy in esicatell by the Committee of last sesasion, of giving a preference tan the schemes of existing Railway Companies for supplying their own districts, when such schemes are as good or better than those of any other parties, where no special reasons exist which should induce us to look for advantage from competition, and where the old Company voluntarily offers such guarantees as may reasonably be required to protect the public against the possible abuses of nao i " 0 1 ,01 Y, or such conditions as at once place the public in a better position than they could hope to obtain from competition, is that from - which the greatest amount of permanent public advantage is likely to he derived. We by no means intend these principles to be considered as rules of universal application, being satisfied that no abstract or invari. sole rule can be safely laid do,vn by which to decide cases of such complexity, and varying so greatly in detail; but we have thought it desirable to state thus generally the views which have guided us in cases like this of the South.Eaatern district, and upon which the soundness of the conclusions at which - we hare arrived must mainly depend. Having thus stated the general principle, by which we have been guided in cases involving a question of preference between ex. isting and new Companies, we proceed to investigate the different schemes submitted to us in the. Kentish and South-Eastern dia.. trict, with a view to their application - The following is a list of the projected railways in the district in question, deposited with the Rail Wa y.

Kentish Coast London and Gravesend, via North Woolwich not having been brought before us by the promoters as substantive schemes, in a position to apply to Parliament in the present ses sion, at the same time as the other schemes in the district, and being for detached objects, are not included in this report. This reduces the list of substantive schemes which we have had to consider to the following:— South-Eastern Company's schemes: Hungerford Bridge to Chilham (North Kent) Wo. 229 Hungerford Bridge to Tunbridge and Paddock Wood ...... 221 Maidstone to Rochester Branch to Deal and Walnut' ... 913 Tunbridge to Hastings Ashford to Hastings 215 Croydon Company's Schemes: London, Chatham, and Chilham • • 142 London and Ashford_ New and Independent Companies : London, Chatham, and North Kent l4B Central Kent 34 Rye, Tenderden, and Headcorn . These schemes may be classed according to the objects which they have in view. I.—The South Eastern Company's scheme, Hungerford Bridge to Tunbridge and Paddock Wood, No. 222 ; the Croydon Corn. pany's scheme, London to Ashford, No. 125 ; have for their prin eipal object the shortening and improving the present line of corn., munication to Dover and the Continent, by cutting off the angle of the South-Eastern line at Reigate; and the Central Kent, No. 34, has partly the same object in view, combined with that of local accommodation, and extension to Canterbury and Deal. IL—The South-Eastern Company's scheme, Hungerford Bridge to Chilham, No. 222 ; the Croydon Company's scheme, London to Chatham and Chilham, No. 144 ; the London, Chatham, and North Keat, No. 148; and to a certain extent, the Central Kent, No. 34, have in view the accommodation of North Kent, including the districts along the Thames as far as Canterbury. The South. Eastern scheme, Branch to Deal and Wahner, No. 219, and a portion of the Central Kent scheme, are for extending this communication beyond Canterbury to the Downs; and the South-Eastern scheme, Maidstone to Rochester, No. 205, is for conallet.ing-&-kik in the North Kent system, by uniting it to the existing line to 'Maidstone. 111.—The South-Esstem Company's scheme, Tunbridge to Hastings, No. 211, and the Rye, Tenterden, and Hastings scheme, Ne. 195, are for extending new lines ftom the interior of Kent to Hastings ; and the South-Eastern Company's scheme, Ashford to Hastings, No. 215, is for completing the coast line of communica. tion, sanctioned by Parliament last year, from Brighton to liastirtge A reference to the map, which is deposited to accompany this report, will make the different lines referred to more ea s ily under stood. We may, at the outset, state our belief, that the two principal objects first enumerated, viz., the formation of an improved line of communication with Dover and the Continent, and the accommo. dation of North Kent, must be kept distinct. A North Kent line can only be rendered useful or profitable by running very frequent trains, with numerous stoppages; while for the Dover and conti. nental traffic, speed, punctuality, and facility for dispatching ex press trains at short notice are highly important,--conditions which could never be satisfactorily attained upon a line encum bered with the short traffic of such places as Chatham and Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich, and Greenwich. Even if the distance, therefore, between London and Dover could have beensomewhat reduced by a North Kent line, we should have been of opinion that the present South-Eastern line, improved by cutting off the angle at Reigate, would have afforded a prefer. able continental communication; and when we find that by such improved line the distance may be reduced to 75} miles, which is actually shorter than by any line that has been projected in can. nexion with a North Kent line, it appears to us too clear to admit of doubt that some scheme for the purpose of effecting such im. provement, must be admitted in preference to a North Kent line, as a basis of a system of railway communication calculated to afford the best practicable outlet for continental traffic. The only scheme which professes to unite the diffrent objects of accommodation for the North Kent and local traffic, with improved continental communication, viz. the Central Kent, No. 34, illus trates the impracticability of such an union. As a North Kent scheme, it signally fails in accomplishing the principal objects of such a line, and which are attained by the other schemes. It does not go to Woolwich or to Sheerness, and passes at such a distance from Chatham that it would be comparatively of little use as a con nexion between that arsenal and other points ; it avoids the mass of population lying along the River and Old North Kent Road at Woolwich, Craytord, Dartford, Erith, on this side of Gravesend, and gives no accommodation to Faversham, Milton, and the district between Chatham and Canterbury. It likewise passes at such an inconvenient distance from the principal towns which it professes to serve, such as Gravesend, Rochester, Stroud, Chatham, and Maidstone, as compared to other projected lines, that it would afford very insufficient local accommodation, and would compete, at a very great disadvantage, with steam-boats. and other modes of communication. The delay, inconvenience, and expense that results from placing important towns upon short branches, or giving them stations too distant for ready access, are matters of universal complaint wherever they have been experi. enced, and a large proportion of the Railway Bills of the present session result from thee nits of such towns to place themselves upon through lines of communication. In one remarkable instance, the Birmingham and Gloucester Company now propose to abandon several miles of their existing line in order to remedy, at a heavy expense, the error formerly committed in leaving Worcester and Droitwich at a short distance from the railway. On the other hand, considered as a Dover line, it would involve the construction of about 52 miles of new railway of an extremely difficult and expensive character, in order to shorten the distance to Dover by an amount not greater than is attained by the South- Eastern Company's scheme, No. 221, by the construction of 33i miles only of new railway. Independently, therefore, of the other objections to this line, arising from the character of its works, which are of an exces sively difficult and expensive character, the want of any pro vision for an independent access to the metropolis, and the cer. tainty that under these circumstances it could not maintain. he character in which it claims support, of an independent line, enough appears in its general character to induce us to report our unhesitating opinion, that in this case there are public reasons which, to the best of our judgment, appear conclusive against the scheme. With regard to the Croydon Company's scheme, London to Ashford, No. 140, the same objection applies as compared with that of the South. Eastern Company, viz., that by the construc tion of 48 miles of new railway from Sydenham to Ashford, it would only reduce the distance to Dover by the same amount as the South-Eastern Company's scheme, by the construction of 34 miles of new railway. In this case, however, a mere corn.. parietal's of distances does not show the Ibll force of the objection to the Croydon Company's scheme, since the South. Eastern Com pany's Branch is a good locomotive line, with gradients generally moderate, and in one case only as steep as 1 in 102; while the Craydon Company's line, although involving heavier works, and longer tunnels, has nearly one.third of its distance at 1 in 50. A reduction of the actual lengths to equivalent distances, according to the established formulas, would show a great advantage to the South-Eastern scheme over that of its competitor. . tul), The intrinsic superiority of the South. Eastern schem e No as a means of effecting the most approved com n that we un l e ( ation with Dover and the Continent, appears, therefore, 5 fed bound to state our opinion that, on have bee n . . proposed in corn. onpu publi c : cvid est , rounds, it merits a preference over any of those which petition with it. Even if the its of the competing schemes had been more equally btlatnecrendmerlVC should have been disposed Company, having already ex_ to think that eSocaapthit. in carrying a out a great national work, pended such a I t a h r e g preference in executing an im. had a fair claim to be allowed when of that work, snore especially offering improvement portant such guarantees as are hereafte r mentioned ; but we repe a t , t h at the i ntr i ns ic superiority of the South-Eastern scheme i n t hi s quarter ap p ea rs to us so decided as not to require the a id of such con. siderations. a dopting this line the public By will obtain a Saving of 12 miles in distance, or of at least half an hour in time, as compared with the existing route to Dover and Folkstone, and will secure as short and good a line of communication with the Continent as the nature of the country will admit of. We next come to the consideration of the schemes—London, Chatham, and Chilham (No. 142) ; London, Chatham, and North Kent (No. 148) ; and South. Eastern, North Kent, Hungerford Bridge to Chilham (No. 2 22)—proposed for extending railway communication in North Kent. The importance and population of the district thus proposed to be ace , mmodated, the immense amount of traffic already existing by other modes of conveyance, and the fact of several schemes being in the field, promote(' by substantial parties, each anxious to un dertake the enterprise, appear to justify us in assuming that some * The figures refer to the number in the alphabetical list of railway projects lodged with the Board of Trade. The course of the line, pursuing the Croydon line inland for six and a half mil:•s to Sydenham, and thus avoiding Woolwith and the population along the North Kent-road, and giving - Gravesend only a circuitous route to London by a branch, ap pears too :'manifestly inferior to that of the other North Kent lines, for national and local purposes, to require comment. The comparison, therefore, lies between the South •Eastern Compassy's scheme, No. 222, and the London, Chatham, and North Kent, Ne. 148. In their general features and objects, these two schemes art nearly identical. They both pursue the general direction of the Old North Kent road by Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, and Chatham, and thence to the same point, Chilham, on the South. Eastern Company's line, from Ashford to Canterbury, which affords the nearest practicable route to Canterbury. They both throw off a branch to Sheerness, and accomplish, more or less per.. fectly, the great national object of placing the naval and military establishments of Sheerness, Chatham, and Woolwich, in direct railway communication with one another, and with the metropolis. In the most difficult and important features of the lines, such as the passage of the Medway at Rochester, and of the Lines at Chat ham, they are substantially the same. The President of the Beard, having communicated with the Master-General of the Ordnance, has ascertained that, while in some points of detail each scheme is considered objectionable, and may require modification, there is no such substantial objection to either as to require its rejection, or to give any decided preference in a comparison of the two. The chief points of difference between the two schemes in other respects appear to be 1. In the mode of passing Woolwich, and the course pursued thence to Gravesend. The North Kent line keeps above the town of Woolwich,:cross ing the Artillery-ground, and thence skirting Shooter's Hill, and keeping inland by Crayford and Dartford. The South-Eastern Company's line passes through Woolwich, close past the gates of the Dockyard and Arsenal, and thence along the marshes by Erith to Gravesend, accommodating the populous inland district by a second line diverging from the Tunbridge line, No. " l 1, at Eltham, and thence passing by Bexley to join the first or North Kent line, near Dartford. The arrangement proposed . by the South-Eastern Company ap pears decidedly preferable, in point of public advantage and local accommodation, as passing close to the Arsenal and Dockyard at Woolwich, as giving superior facilities for the conduct of the public service, on the one hand, and for the uninterrupted passage of frequent trains, calculated to meet the wants of a dense population, on the other, by the alternative line, and as serving mere places and a arger population by the two lines than could be served by one. This arrangement, however, will involve greater expense and greater interference with house property; but this latter confide. ration we are precluded from entertaining. 2. After passing Chatham, the two lines slightly diverge, the South-Eastern Company's line keeping more to the north, on the low ground, and thereby shortening the length of the Sheerness Branch, and the distance to Sheerness, and increasing that ter Canterbury about miles. 3. The comparative distances by the two lines are— North Kent Line, London to Chilham, 55i miles from the pro posed terminus at the Bricklayers' Arms. South-Eastern Line, London to Chi!ham, 531 miles from the Bricklayers' Arms, or 371 miles from the proposed terminus at Hungerford-bridge. On the whole, therefore, there appears no such diTerence be tween the two schemes as to give any very decided preponderance to either; and we have, therefore, had recourse to the other• con siderations stated in the beginning of this report, in order to de. termine between them. The public advantages which the alternative of giving the line to the South-Eastern Company appea rs t o present, are the following : I. The security afforded by an existing Company, which has already expended upwards of three millions and a half, and is in the receipt of a great income, with the prospect of a large increase when the French lines are opened, which they offer to pledge for the completion, within a reasonable time, of all the works they un. dertake, is greatly superior to anything that can be afforded by a new Company, however respectable. 2. The connt'rion of this portion of the Kentish Railway system with the Company to which the greater part of such system has been already intrusted, and which is now proposing other unop posed links in a comprehensive scheme of communication, will greatly facilitate the convenient and economical ;corking of the whole. 3. The same concentration of interest will enable the South. Eastern Company at once to afford a greatly superior metropolitan terminus to any that is proposed by the North Kent Company, or that could be afforded by any independent Company; an advantage which is the more important when it is considered that from the amount of traffic that must necessarily flow over the Greenwich and Bricklayers' Arms lines and the proposed Hungcrford Exten. sion, and from the limited space available for station room, the traffic could scarcely be conducted with safety, and certainly net without extreme inconvenience, unless under one control and management. On the other hand, the effect of giving this line to the South. Eastern Company will unquestionably be to place in their hands a monopoly of the railway communications of a very large and im portant district, which would be to a certain extent obviated by giving the line to an independent Company. The general question of the prospect of advantage from railway competition has been already discussed. In the present instance there are several reasons which appear on the one hand to render the existence of any permanent competition peculiarly problema. tical, and oa the other to obviate many of the objections that may . be urged against monopoly. .....• . . The want of a good independent metropolitan station, and the possession by the South-Eastern Company of the lines beyond Can terbury, as well as of the other communications of the Kentish district, are circumstances which, according to all pre►ious ez. perience of railways, must operate most strongly to bring about an amalgamation. The pressure of steam:boat competition is also another circum. stance which would naturally tend to make the railway interests of the district combine for mutual defence. This latter circumstance also altar& the best possible guarantee against the existence of any injurious monopoly against the public. With steam-boats carrying passengers from London to Gravesend for Is., and even 6d., the fares upon any line of railway in North Kent must always be very much lower than the point to which they could be reduced far a continuance by any practicable legis lative enactment, or by any conceivable railway competition. The existence of the Thames as a free water.highway, must also always keep the railway charges on goods at a very low limit; and in fact render anything like monopoly, in the proper sense of the word, impossible, unless all the steamers, vessels, and barges in the river, as well as the North Kent Railway, could be amalgamated with the South-Eastern Company. The question would stand thus on general considerations, inde. pendently of any specific guarantees or advantages offered by the South-Eastern Company, as securities against the apprehended effects of monopoly, and as inducements to the Legislature to give their schemes a preference. The South-Eastern Compasy have, however, voluntarily offered the following guarantees and ad. advantage, to be secured by clauses in their respective Acts t I. They ofihr to complete the coast line of communication - front Hastings to Ashford; an undertaking which, left to itself as an unassisted commercial speculation, might remain long uncompleted. g. They offer to complete the communication to Deal, in con. ney ion with their line already sanctioned from Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, which the North Kent Company are not at present prepared to undertake. 3. They offer to extend their Bricklayers' Arms line to Hunger. ford.brldge, and to render their station there available for the purposes of &common central metropolitan terminus, should it here. after appear to be practicable and desirable. 4. They offer to pledge the whole revenue of their existing line for the completion of all the lines undertaken by them, within a reasonable period. 5. They offer to lay down the electrical telegraph along their line, whenever it may be required for the public service. 6. They offer to place their whole system, including the old Si well as the new lines, under the operation of the option of revision and purchase contained in the General Railway Act of last year. 7. They offer to except instead of their present maximums of Sid. per passenger per mile on the present distance of 88 miles to Dover, a revised tariff, fixing a maximum of 3d. per mile on first. class passengers, and 2d. per mile on second-class passengers, in carriages protected from the weather, to be calculated on the shortest possible railway distance between London and Dover. or 74 miles. cheap trains each way daily, at Id. a mil e , m o r l io u btp n oo l a te r : il e y sccth o ,e ff impn e u r et ed rpos:eth b eresT y oe a wbo n stf 8 .

It is, therefore, with great satisfaction that we find, that among the schemes which will be submitted to Parliament for its sanction as commercial enterprises, and as combining at the same time the greatest amount of local accommodation, are lines which will have the effect of completing this coast line, of which the foundation was laid last year by the sanction given by Parlia. ment to the Brighton and Hastings, and Brighton and Chichester line, almost uninterruptedly from the Thames to the Land's End. The only important link in this chain which was not likely to be undertaken as an independent commercial enterprise, was the con. nexion between Hastings and the Sonth.Eastern line in the direc tion of Dover, for the completion of which we have now the guarantee of a Company who have ample means to fulfil their en. gagement, and who are alone in a position to work such Rae, if constructed, with efficiency and with a fair prospect of success. The effect of sanctioning the schemes of the South.Eutertt Company, in connexion with the schemes already sanctioned or proposed by other parties, will be to place the metropolis, the dockyards and arsenals of Deptford, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheer. ness, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, the Downs, Dover, Hastinirva Brighton, Southampton, Portland, Weymouth, and all the Pen' cipal ports of the southern coast as far as Falmouth andsoPen• s; ranee, in direct railway communication with one another,. by to admit of the transmission of intelligen ce In a few minutes the electrical telegraph, and•of .trooPs, tare s and ammunition, in a few hours from any one point to anyl gam,oet r of this extensive ' line.
