This Company is established with a view to afford the pub-
lie increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers,
sPecie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and
the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c.
A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered
into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan-
tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera-
tion of the authorities of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Com-
pany, and the other inland navigitio i and railway establish-
ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are seconvinced
of the advantages to be derived from this Rue of communica-
tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and tho
speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that
they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to
the fullest possible extent.
The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway,
and its port is the most convenient for direct communication
between London and all the great seaports in Holland and
Belgium, and thence to the northern and colatral parts of the
continent of Europe
Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich,
Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a
saving of 48 hours, as, compared with the route via Marseilles;
the hue from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com-
pletion without a break.
The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of
access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages
which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of
the Humber.
_pllaLithe opening this route via Harwich the dangers and
dof . of tho intricate navigation of the Swin and the month
