The object of this-Company is to establish Docks for the
express use of Steam-Vessels, with all the accommodation for
Passengers and goods, which that rapidly-increasing class of our
mercantile navy now demands.
The site of the proposed Docks comprises the River frontage
between the Royal Dock-yard and Deptford Creek, where the
River is deeper than in any other part : hence the targest class
•f Steam-ships may arrive or depart at almost any period of
the tide.
There will be a communication by a Junction Railway to
that of the Greenwich, by which a great saving of time will be
effected to the passenger, as well as freedom from risk of acci-
dents in the Pool, which are so frequent and appalling in their
extent and effects. The Junction Railway will also unite the
Croydon, Brighton, and South-Eastern Railways.
The prospectus and plans, with every information, may be
obtained of the Sec; etary, at the Office of the Company,
O. 55, King William-street, London-bridge, to whom appli-
cation for Shares may be made (po t paid); also to Messrs.
