Route.—The Westminster and Deptford Railway is intended to
commence from the foot of Westminster-bridge, on the Surrey side ;
whence after a very slight curve, to avoid interfering with the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's grounds, it will proceed in a straight line to
the northern border of Kennington Common, and thence, via
Camberwell and Peckham, intersecting and joining in its course the
London and Croydon Railway, to join the London and Greenwich
Railway at the Deptford depot.
The Westminster and -Deptford Railway will thus form the
nearest and most direct communication between the Western and
South-Western districts of the Metropolis, and the populous and
wealthy districts of Greenwich, Woolwich, Blackheath, Deptford,
Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Croydon, and their
vicinities. It will afford to the inhabitants of Clapham, Brixton,
&c., increased facilities of conveyance, by a junction near the end
of the Vassal-road, or at Kennington. It will become the great
Western entrance to London of all the Railways about to be con-
structed South and South-east of the Metropolis ; and, by means
of a short Railway about to be made from the London and
Greenwich Railway to Deptford Pier, it will form by far the
nearest and most direct communication between the Thames at
Deptford and the Thames at Westminster-bridge, thereby avoiding
a long and dangerous intermediate navigation.
The Prospectus of this Company will be ready for delivery to-
morrow.
The Shares will be allocated under the superintendence of the
Directors. Applications for Prospectuses and for printed Forms of
Application for Shares to be made at the Company's and Solicitor's

Angel-court, Throgmorton-street.
