THE TIMES —March 12th,

"The Northfleet Docks and London Quays Company have
issued their prospectus, the proposed Capital being £1.500,000
in £2O Shares. .One feature of the scheme is, that it willc,om-
prise the formation of extensive Dry Docks, the want of which
has long been felt. The entire area of the works will be 165
acres, with a river wall of three quarters of a mile, and rail-
way and telegraphic communication will be secured by the
North Kent Line, to which a short branch is to be constructed,
while on the opposite side of the Thames there is the London,
Tilbury, and Southend Line. It is proposed to incorporate
with the undertaking certain waterside warehouses in Lon-
don, known as Brewer's, Chester's and Galley Quays in Lower
Thames-street, as well as those of Barber and Co., abutting on
the Blackwall Railway. With regard to the economical com-
pletion of the undertaking, the promoters lay great stress
upon the facilities afforded by the chalk formation of the
locality."

SHIPPING GAZETTE—March 12th.
" Amongst the most promising. enterprises of the present
season, is one for providing the Port of London with increased
Dry and Wet Dock accommodation. It seems hardly credible
that, while Liverpool has no less than eighteen Dry Docks,
capable of receiving ships of any tonnage, there are no Dry
Docks in the Thames belonging to any of the existing Com-
panies. Every one acquainted with the navigation of the
Port of London must wish for the success of an enterprise
which promises to supply a Want that has long been felt by
the fleets of shipping resorting to the Thames, and which we
are only surprised has not long since attracted the notice of
our merchants and capitalists.'

DAILY NEWS—March 14th.
"London, though possessed of a larger trade than all the
other Ports of the United Kingdom put together, is worse
supplied with Dock accommodation than Liverpool, South.
ampton, and many other Ports which have not one tithe of
the shipping entering them. The result of this is that a very
large proportion of the vessels coming to London discharge
their cargoes into lighters in the Rivet, and never go into
Dock at all. Taking these circumstances into consideration,
the Northfleet Docks Company has be.n formed for the pur-
pose of constructing Docks more commodious in extent, and
convenient in situation, than any at present existing on the
Thames."

MITCHELL'S MARITIME REGISTER—March 12th.
" A Company, with limited liability, has been formed to
carry out new Docks at Northfleet. The names upon the Di-
rectorate are of the highest respectability. The site selected
for the proposed undertaking is distant just twenty miles
from London, having the advantage of a chalk formation,
with sufficient depth of water, and every facility flor the reali-
sation of the Company's design."
