It is intersected by the Blackwell Extension Railway,
which has a terminus in Lcrudon-strt et in the City, very
near to Whitachap, I and Leadenball markets, and ano-
ther at Camden-town. It has direct railway communi-
cation with the following railways:—Tne Great Nur-
rhyrn, the London vnd North• Western, the Eastern
Coutaies, the North-Eastern, the North Woolwich, and,
by crossing the river, wi h the North Kent, the railway
to the Iliac and West India and Retrenea-canal D,cks,
and the branch proposed to be made to the London
and St. Katherine Ducks. By a railway now in pro-
gress, Mr re will be a railway communication with the
South-Western and railways on the south side of
London. It will be in direct communication with
the Tilbury Fort Railway, and, by the flying-
