tympany, and will have the support of the South
Western railway company, who have long been desirous to
have a terminus on the north side of-the river. It is very
doubtful, however, whether Parliament will sanction eat
railway terminus at this point, as the traffic in the Strand
is already Car too great for general convenience, neither
could sanction be given to it until the comprehensive plazas
of the Government with reference to Westminster Bridge
and the new public Offices have been decided upon. With
respect to other contemplated improvements in the metro-
poles, the Metropolitan railway company have expressed
their determination to break ground next year, and to
commence their great underground railway, by which the
lines on the north side will be connected. In the lines run-
ning directly from the metropolis the principal design of
importance, is that projected by Sir 'Samuel Morton Peto,
who, having obtained an act to make a short line from,
Barking to Stepney, by which the London and Tilbury
line will be rendered entirely independent of the Eastern
Counties Railway, now proposes ad eifenSion of the line
from Southend to Norfolk, and will,.should he succeed,
take almost the whole of the traffic of this part of the
country. Irma • the Bastern Counties. It was upon this
point that Mr. 'Waddington resigned his situation as chair-
man. He truly foresaw what would be the result if the
company did not take measures to protectithernselves ; but
now, unless their opposition is successful, which is very
doubtful, the company will, too late, rue• their •sui-.ldi'Ll
policy. The same may be said of the South Eastern
Company. They have permitted a rival‘ ompany to get
P:
a footing in their territory, and now Mid-Kent Co-
Pally are seeking tor pewors_ trf, extend their line, and,
;oath Eastern Company will
to buy up -.new opponents' line, or else be subject to
fS Compe!itiOn. In defence, they have this year
given notice of two or three branch lines, which they hope
will materially interfere :with the projects of the new
company. But as the line' of the latter will be more
direct and will be constructed at a much less cost than
the old line, the public wil.he sure to patronise that which
-best suits their own convenience and pockets. Prom first
to last this South Eastern Railway has been one of the
worst managed in the kingdom. After the North Kent
line was constructed they thought that the public living
in the country through which they passed were entirety
at their mercy; they chargA high fares, were regardlesa
of the comfort axd convenience of the passengers, and
treated their remonstrances with indifference; hence the
competing line—the London and Tilbury met with such
support that they now have lost almost the whole of their
extensive produce traffic, which in the summer was the
best paying portion of the line, as well as the greatest
Portion of the Margate and Ramsgate traffic also—the
rival company beating them in-time and in price. Again,
the new line from Strood to Canterbury and so on to
Dover, will draw off another large portion of their foreign
passenger and goods traffic. It is astonishing that oom-
patties cannot use a little of the common sense which
