WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE, DEPTFORD,
and GREENWICH RAILWAY, via KENNINGTON,
CAMBERWELL, and PECKHAM.

The Directors of this Company have great pleasure in an-
nouncing to their Subscribers, that having duly complied with
the Standing Orders of Parliament, their Petition for a Bill
was on Friday last presented to the House of Commons by
Mr. Alderman WOod, and that they are prepared to go for-
ward in Parliament without delay, and with full confidence
of successfully establishing one of the most profitable Rail-
ways hitherto projected. The returns of traffic as taken from
actual observation have proved much larger than originally contem-
plated, and the advantages afforded by" this line to, the various
Surrey, Kent, and Sussex Railways to which it will form a west-
end entrance and terminus, are now fully appreciated by the. parties
most interested. In confirmation of this the Directors beg to refer
amongst others to the following extracts from the minutes of the
South-Eastern (Dover and Brighton) and Rennie's Brighton
Railway Companies:—
" South-Eastern Railway Office, 10, Coleman-street,
Feb. 10, 1837.

" At a Meeting of the Directors, held as afiove-,
" Resolved—That it is the opinion of this Boar] that the West-
minster Bridge, Deptford, and Greenwich Railway, if carried dur-
ing the present session, will afford the means of a west-end ter-
minus to the South-Eastern Railway, and that the same should in
consequence have the encouragement of this Board."
" The Direct London and Brighton Railway Office,
3, Chapel-place, Poultry.
" At a meeting of the Directors, held as above—
" Resolved—That it is the opinion of this meeting that the West-
minster Bridge, Deptford, and Greenwich Railway, will be bene-
ficial to the Direct London and Brighton Railway, by affording a
terminus at Westminster Bridge." _ _ .

The proportion of shares originally reserved for parties on the
line, and others eventually interested, will now be allotted, and a
preference will be given on such allotment to parties on the line—
to existing Shareholders—and to holders of shares on those lines
which may be considered as continuations of this line, vie. the
Greenwich, Deptford-pier, Croydon, South-Eastern (Dover and
Brighton) Renn:e's and Gibbs' Brighton, and the Kent and Sand-
wich Railways.
The new prospectus, with forms of application for reserved
shares, may be had at the Company's Offices, 21, Old Jewry, and
for the convenience of parties on the line, at Proctor's Hotel, West-
minster-bridge Toad; the Mitre, Stangate ; the Horns, Kenning
ton ; the Golden Lion, Camberwell the Red Cow, Peckham ;
the Greyhound, Croydon; and the Greyhound, Greenwich.
