'SHERIFFS' FUND.—This CHARITY was
instituted chiefly to assist those Persons -who, urged by
distress' have erred from the paths of honesty, ere discharged at
the end of each Session, or after short terms of imprisonment, and,
Possessing no means of support, might, without 'nine aid, be again
driven to the commission of fresh crimes, to enable such of them as
seen anxious to resume habits of industry by supplying them with
took and materials to earn an honest livelihood—to afford to others
who have conducted themselves well during their confinement a
conveyance home to their relations and friends r. siding at a dis-
ta.nte, and thereby enabling them to quit the metropolis before
they become again tempted to commit crime, and to supply female
convicts sent abroad with a few necessaries, an 1 some means of
employment during.the.voyage.
This Fund, Which is 'distributed under the fostering care of the
Sheriffs for the time being, is mainly. supportdd• by the benevolent
contributions of:charitable persons, and in consequence of the ju-
risdiction of the Central Criminal Court being extended over the
Populous parts of the counties of Essex, Kent, and Surrey, in ad-
ditions to the city of London and county of Middlesex, the claims
upon its bounty are materially increased.
The SHERIFFS earnestly SOLICJ theASSISTANCE of
the BENEVOLENT in aid of these important objects, being to
Mitigite suffering, and prevent the repetition of offence.
Donations be thankfully received by the Sheriffs, John
Lainsou, Esq., NO. 53, Bread-street, Cheapside, and David Salo-
mons,, Esq., No. 16, Cuinberland-street, Portman-square ; by Mr.

A direct 'communication between 'the metropolis and the en-
trance of the Thames, where a safe and commodious tide-dock, ac-
cessible at all times of tide, may be constructed for steam-vessels,
Whether bound to foreign ports, coastwise, or to the watering-
Places on the opposite shores of the coast of Kent, with a landing-
Place for fish, at an hour's distance from the market of London, is
'desideratum attainable only by means of a Railway. From a
careful survey it has been ascertainedthat Shell Haven (proposed to
be called Thames Haven) offers such a situation, with a depth of
water sufficient for the largest ships, and presenting advantages for
the construction of docks not to be found in any other part of the
river. As the inclinations of the Railway will be peculiarly favour-
able, it has been calculated that coals may be brought into London
at a considerable diminution of the present prices.
It is proposed that the Company should avail themselves of the
tas,.. tern Counties Railway as far as Romford, from thence the
+lames Haven Railway will proceed through a rich and highly
ealtivated country, within ass easy distance of Southend, and the
fertile hundred of Romford to its terminus, but no change of con-
veyance will be required from London to Shell Haven.
Although the extent of the probable inceme cannot be stated
with accuracy, the basis of the calculation is sufficient to justify the
conclusion thatit will be large and liberal, as will be seen by consi-
dering that the returns will be derived :-
1. From the conveyance of Passengers to and from all parts of
the Line, exclusive of steam-boat passengers.
2. From the conveyance of Goods and Parcels.
3. From the Conveyance of Agricultural' Supplies, meat, and ge-
tierally the produce of the country, in all the varieties required by
the great market of London, and of the supplies required in return.
4. From the conveyance of Fish to the London market. '
a. From the conveyance of Passengers to and from steam-boats,
a distance of 26 miles by land, in little more than one hour, at a
tooderate charae ; the distance by water being 35 miles ;
And, eventually, from the carriage of Coals, particularly for the
consumption of the metropolis.
The annual number of Passengers to and passing Gravesend by
steam-vessels, being calculated at 1,700,000, of whom about one-
ludf proceed below Gravesend. This calculation is entirely exclu-
sive of the Scotch, Irish, and Foreign Steam-boats, and it may be
fairly considered that the advantages which this station will offer to
rein of perfect security under any weather, and at any period of
the tide, as well as the facilities of landing their passengers and
Recds, will be speedily appreciated, and consequently may be rea-
zonally contemplated as a source of great revenue to the undertaking.
A Railway, as projected from Herne Bay by Canterbury to
Darer, would complete the chain of communication by steam-
PeAver between London and those places by a direct route, and
"lien completed, cannot but add materially to the use of the Thames
Haven Railway.
It is intended to make application to Parliament for an Act of
t?torporation in the ensuing Session, the requisite notices having
den given, and the Plan, Section, and Book of Reference lodged
With the proper authorities. The Provisional Committee will now
Proceed forthwith in the appropriation of Shares. •
All measures deemed necessary preparatory and previous to the
rising of the Act, will be conducted by the Provisional Com-
kittee, who are to have the control and disposition of the fund con-
stituted by the deposits.
,_Applications for Shares to be made (if by letter, post paid) to
-Messrs. Vaux and Fennell, Solicitors, 82, Bedford-row ; or to
the Secretary, at the Office, where plans and particulars may be
obtained.
