The port of Harwich is the only port between the North Fore-
land and Hull which is accessible in all states of the tide, and it i 3
the constant resort in bad weather of the Scotch, North of England,
Dutch, and Hamburgh steam and other vessels. It affords the most
direct means of communication between London, Antwerp, and
Rotterdam, and through them with Germany and the Rhine with
Hamburgh, and through Hamburgh with Prussia, and by means of
the Altona and I.ubeck Railway generally with all the rest of the
North of Europe.
A Railway communication between Harwich and London will
effect a saving in time between London and Rotterdam or Ham-
burgh of twelve hours at least for mails and for passengers, and
diminish the risk and consequent expense of merchandise as well
as of passengers, by avoiding the shoals and sands in the estuary of
the Thames. - This communication will be carried by the Eastern
Counties Railway from London to within sixteen miles of Harwich,
and it is proposed to complete it by forming a railway from Har-
wich to fall into the Eastern Counties Railway at about two miles
north-east of Colchester. A large agricultural district will be thus
materially benefitted, and the whole of the traffic of Belgium and
Holland, and the North of Europe, with London and all England
south of the Humber, and much of that from the eastern parts
of Scotland, will be drawn through Harwich over the projected
railway.
• The line of country to be traversed by the railway is highly
favourable for the purpose, and there aro no parks or other orna-
mental or peculiarly valuable property which can be affected by it;
and, moreover, the project has the support of a landowner through
whose property the line will run for several miles.
The Mayor, Aldermen, and Town Council of Harwich, and all
the principal inhabitants of the town, have already pledged them-
selves in favour of the measure.

Applications for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the
Office, or to the Solicitors.
Prospectuses will be issued in a few days.

SALISBURY and SOUTHAMPTON RAIL-
WAY COMPANY, _ _

Capital, 300,0001., in Shares of 251. each.
This Railway will branch from the London, Salisbury, Exeter,
Plymouth, and Falmouth Railway, at Salisbury, and will proceed to
Romsey, and from thence to Southampton, and there join the pro-
jected Railway between Portsmouth and Southampton on the Lon-
don and Southampton Railway, thus forming a direct Railway com-
munication between the South-Eastern Counties and the West of
England, the ports of Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Falmouth.
The Committee of the London, Salisbury, Exeter, Plymouth, and
Falmouth Railway Company, having been strongly urged by many
influential parties connected with the agricultural, mercantile, and
trading interests of the district through which the line will pass to
add this most important branch to the grand line originally under-
taken by them, have unanimously resolved to do so. It will never-
theless have all the advantages of a distinct Company, with a sepa-
rate expenditure and dividend, and will be regulated by a separate
Act of Parliament, at the same time that it will receive the
aid of the powerful talent already announced in the London direc-
tion, and in the professional skill engaged in the construction of the
main line.

The country has been surveyed, and presents a most favourable
surface.

The names of the Local Committees at Salisbury, Romsey, and
Southampton will be forthwith published with a more detailed Pros-
pectus. The whole of the Shares would have been at once taken
by the London Capitalists, but the Provisional Committee have re-
served one half for the demand which will necessarily arise from
parties interested on the line.
