Offices of the Company-44, Moorgate-street, City, E.C.
This Company is established with a view to afford the pub-
lic 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 on
Company advan-
tageous terms, and the Directors have secured
theco-ob.oeima-
tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway
Pally, and the other inland navigation and railway establish-
ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced
of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica-
tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the
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 central 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 line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com-
pletion without a break.
The harbour of liarwich 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.
By the opening
delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth
of this route via Harwich the dangers and
of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time
is effected to H 10
amburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from
to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the
northern parts of
Harwich and Rotterurope is four hours quarter less by
dam than that by Dover a
per tabular statement become the
direct route of postai c, and thus the former must

A deputation has been in Holland, and submitted the views
of this Company to the Postmaster-General, the Minister of
Finance, and the Minister of the Interior, who have promised
their cordial co-operation in support of the undertaking.
It is intended, in the first instance, to confine the opera-
tions of this Company to the direct communication from
London, via Harwich, to Rotterdam.
This Company will have swift and commodious packets,
and its management will be carried out with the utmost care,
so as to secure expedition, safety, and comfort, and the di-
rectors submit that the traffic cannot fail to realise a hand-
some dividend to the shareholders.
The capital will be divided into 10,000 shares of 101. each,
