The object of this undertaking is to construct a public quay,
nearly one mile and a half in extent, to be accessible at all times of
the tide, combined with machinery for discharging laden vessels,
and adapted
]. To the great object of a rapid discharge of coals.
2. To the Steam Navigation Trade, in conjunction with the
Blackwall Railway, for the conveyance of passengers to the heart
of the metropolis.
3. To the coasting trade and all vessels requiring a speedy
delivery of their cargoes.
The principal feature in this undertaking is the discharge of
coals by machinery on the wharfs into one or two ton boxes, and
conveying them to the cellar of the consumer without either
change or breakage, or into barges alongside, and towing them to
their respective destinations by steam tugs, in strings of a number
at a time.
Thus the interests of the merchants and the consumers in all
parts of London will be consulted—the shipowner will have his
vessel afloat in the stream, without obstructing or impeding the
navigation—the intentions of the Legislature (contained in the
Reports of the Navigation of the River Thames, and on the Coal
Trade) in clearing the Pool not only of the co/tiers, but of the
straggling barges, will be most completely carried out—and the
construction of collier or steam docks (the impracticability and
inconvenience of which have been fully established) will be ob-
viated, no compulsory clause will be required, and the discharge of
the coals can be effected without any additional expense, and at a
great saving in point of time to the coal and shipowners.
The estimated revenue has been calculated on data from Custom-
house and Parliamentary documents, and shows a large remunerat-
ing profit to the shareholders.
Resolutions in favour of the measure have been passed by the
colliery and ship owners of the north of England, and by the town
council of Newcastle.

The Committee, therefore, recommend it with confidence to the
public, on account of its importance as a great national work, its
certainty of profit to the shareholder, and from the substantial sup-
port it has already received.
The plans, sections, and books of reference have been deposited
with the clerks of the peace and parish clerks--notices have been
given to the owners and occupiers—and the standing orders have
been complied with to obtain an Act of Incorporation in the next
Session.

Application for shares to be made to the Secretary at the Com-
pany's Office, 57, Old Broad-street, where Prospectuses and Plans
may be obtained.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
EXTRACTS from PART 11.
Of " The Anti-Railroad Journal ; or, Railroad Impositions
Detected."
It is not, therefore, too much to anticipate a similar termination
to the minor Great Western Railway from Bristol to London ; for,
though probably it may reach as far as Bath from Bristol, after hav-
ing, like a mole, explored its way through tunnels, long and deep,
the Shareholders who travel by it will be so heartily sick, what with
foul air, smoke, and sulphur, that the very mention of a Railway
will be worse than ipecacuanha, especially when the only prospect
they can find the least cheering in the midst of all this derangement
of their stomachs, will be a granite tramway, actually in operation,
alongside of their own dose of ipecacuanha, ready to follow up the
black draught, so as to get rid of every particle of obstruction with
which the bottoms of their pockets might be otherwise afflicted.
True it is, that though the last 40 miles from Reading to London
will not require quite so much mole-like engineering as through the
first 13 miles to Bath, yet for the gratification of Mr. Brunel, who
may wish to tunnel more successfully for the Great Western Bubble
through dry land, than has hitherto rewarded the ingenuity and
talent of his father through wet land, another field is open to his
skill and dexterity in the shape of viaducts and aqueducts, through
which the Shareholders will find, as well as Mr. Brunel, solicitors,
and others, of "undoubted talent and activity," that the aqueducts
and viaducts will doubtless form capital ducts to carry off all the
superfluous cash of the Shareholders.
But to be serious—for in a question where so much is to be lost
by one party, and nothing to be gained by another, even ridicule
must be economised ; since it should ever be borne in mind, that
unless the parties who have concocted the minor Great Western
Railway were conscious that they were putting forth nothing but a
bubble speculation, they ought to be able to show that the whole
line would pay a liberal profit, and not fall short of even one per
cent. nett profit, so as to induce the most cautious capitalist to sub-
scribe, or else they must be willing to labour under the imputation
that they have miscalculated the traffic of the road ; and as such
miscalculation could not be the result of ignorance, if founded, as
they assert, on " Stamp-office returns," it must have been the re-
sult of malice prepense.
Now, to prove that they might, if they would, have arrived at
the truth, it is only necessary to draw attention to the following
facts :

The total income in the waggon department for the first Great
Western Line, exclusive of the canal and coasting trade, besides lot
of oranges and lemons, enough to keep the whole tribe of Israel in
constant motion in Philpot-lane, the grand mart for the Seville
fruits of the civil engineers, is estimated to be ........£143,515.
Deduct for cattle included £35,750
Ditto parcels and posting, ditto

82,178

Total for goods alone £ 61,337
Consequently the total quantity of goods estimated to be conveyed
at 4id. per ton per mile, from end to end, will be about 28,864 tons,
being 8,000 tons more than the whole of the traffic from similar
vehicles on the Birmingham Line, though it is notorious that the
latter is far more productive than the Bristol Line.
But, granting that the projectors have not over-credited 8,000
lns of goods, ;till the item for cattle, 35750, must be reduced at
ast three-fourths, evert assuming it to, be possible that graziers
and owners of cattle will, out of compliment to the Bristol Bubble,
throw away their own profits more liberally than they have proved
Willing to bestow them on the Manchester and Liverpool Line after
More than three years trial of that mode of conveyance. In fact
very few horned-cattle, if any at all, have been carried, and quite
as few sheep, because it is impossible to convey such animals at
the sufficiently low to pay, for reasons assigned in the estimate for
" Birmingham Line.
.Yrotri the total income, therefore, of 143,5151. will be deducted
