The Public are now invited to refer to the Prospectus, Maps, and
Sections to be had at the Company's Office, and at the Bankers.

Railway to Blackwall proposed ; and on the result of the Compari-
son the Provisional Committee of the Commercial Railway are
willing to stake the character of their undertaking.
The
particulars given by these documents are too voluminous for
,an andvertisement ; but to those desirous of investing their money
!pa Railway to Blackwall, they will, it is to be hoped, amply repay
the trouble of a perusal.
A large subscription has already been obtained for the Commer-
cial line, and the necessary forms have been complied with, so that
sPPlication to Parliament for a Bill will be made early in the ap-
Proachino•
session.

,-Uartford, the chief market place of the rich agricultural district
°1 West Kent, and the most considerable manufacturing town in
Lbe vicinity of the metropolis, possessing, besides its well-known
rglinPowder mills, numerous ther mills for the manufacture of
aper, flout-, oil, mustard, &c., also extensive steam engine works,
-lo a direct line but two miles distant from the Thames, and yet has
"Wiled to this day without any better communication with it by
lwater than is afforded by a shallow and sinuous creek of twice the
ength, navi nlyabout the time of high water, and then for none
craft of the smallest burden. The same is the case with the adja-
l—nt town of Crayford, so fast rising into commercial importance.
„-Y 'beans of its extensive silk and cotton print works. It is now
~,,14.°Pbsed to connect these two towns with the Thames by a ship
p bl of admitting both sailing and steam vessels of 410
ts"%bueradena ate all times of the t itle—to oonvort Dartford and Cray
ji)rd in effect into sea-port towns. The distinguished engineer who
4'as been employed to make the necessary surveys estimates that the
Work may be exeeuted for 65,0001., and, from the reputation he
deservedly possesses for the iaccuracy of his estimiltes, great reliance
flay be placed.on the expenditure not exceeding that sum. The
bore required for the execution of the entire work will not, it is
soPposed, exceed eighteen months from the commencement of the
excavations.
The tonnage conveyed along the present creek, under all tho
existing disadvantages of the navigation, amounts to between
50,000 and 60,000 tons annually, but this is probably not a tenth
part of the tonnage which would pass the Ship Canal. A vast
quantity of produce which, account of its per shable nature and
the uncertainty in point of time of the
present navigation, is now
sent by land to the London mazket, such as hops, flour, fruit, vege-
tables, &c., would be at once transferred to the quicker' and cheaper
line of conveyance. The opening of 2. direct and rapid steam com-
munication between these towns and the metropolis would, more-
hover, naturally attract to the canal a large passenger traffic, which
as at present no existence in this direction; aro this again would
he, greatly aided by the establishment of a regular and well ap-
po..nted ferry between the counties of Kent and Essex, which it is
tart of the present plan to establish in connection with the cttaal at
tLong Reach Tavern and Pnrfleet. Altogether there are few Int-
ertakivs which offer
lders. such a certainty of a handsome and early re-
turn to the s hAreho
