The importance of continuing tho line of road from Gravesend
to Dover is too well understood, and so manifest, that it needs no
further description to prove the general advantages which will be
obtained by carrying it into effect.
A Company is, therefore, formed for the purpose of taking such
measures as may be necessary to procuro an Act of Parliament
next Session.
The Surveys necessary for that purpose are nearly completed.
For ffirther particulars apply at the Office, No. t 42, Cornhill.

The Act for establishing the Great Western Railway to Bristol
having passed, the early construction of a similar communication
westward must he highly advantageous to that city, as well as to
the counties of Somerset, Devon, and Cornwall.
It is therefore proposed to apply to Parliament for an Act to con-
struct a RAILWAY from Bristol to Exeter. It will commence
as near the Great Western Railway as practicable, and from thence
be carried through Ashton Vale, near the coal pits, and passing a
flat country, will be brought near the Port of Bridgewater, and
thence through Taunton to Exeter.
Prospectuses, with more full details and forms of applications
for Shares, may be obtained from Messrs. Savery and Clark, solici-
tors, Bristol ; or at Messrs. flare and Co., 3, St. Michael's Alley,

Amen: the wealthy districts of England which are yet strangers
to railway conveyance there is, perhaps, none where it could be in-
troduced with greater advantage than that portion of the eastern
coast of England which comprehends Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk.
Those counties are remarkable for presenting the greatest conti-
nuous extent of level country in the whole kingdom ; a circum-
stance which pre-eminently fits them for participating in the bene-
fits of the railway system. They include some of tho richest and
most cultivated portions of England—those portions from which
the metropolis draws its chief supplies of corn, flour, malt, cattle,
sheep, pigs, poultry, vegetables, &c. They have also an extensive
sea boundary, and supply nearly the whole of the fish consumed in
the metropolis.
The railway which it is now proposed to construct through
these counties will follow, as nearly as practicable, the main stream
in which the traffic of the district already runs. In consequence of
the very level character of the country there will not be a single
tunnel required, nor even an embankment of more than 30 feet
high, and the greatest rise in any part of the line will not exceed 1
in 400 feet. The line, too, at the metropolitan end, will interfere
with no important buildings, though it will advance much farther
into the heart of the city than any of the other railways now in pro-

Forming, as such a railway will do, the principal and favourite
medium of transport for more than a million of people, (including
the portion of the metropolitan population connected by business
and by family tics with the eastern counties)—passing everywhere
through a country not only yielding much, but requiring much in
return—touching at many large and well frequented markets—and
having no canals or other railways to compete with, it will be con-
trary to all experience if it does not pay well. The question of
profit may, however, be considered as placed beyond every reason-
able doubt, by the following summary of the estimates of expendi-
ture and revenue, which have been prepared with great care, and
will in due time be verified to the satisfaction of Parliament.
