pleted, and this route will then, the directors confidently
believe, be adopted as ti o general one for the Mediter-
ranean, the East, and for the Overland route to India.
" The division of the joint station at the London-
bridge terminus took place on the 2d of August, in ace
cordaece with the Act of Parliament regulating it. The
directors expect all the works, buildings, and platforms
connected with the terminus will be completed within
two months from the present time, and it is certain that
great advantage will then accrue in the management of
the traffic. The lease of the Reading, Guildford, and
Reigate Railway was sealed by both companies and ex •
changed on the 15th of March last; the rent payable by
this company, of 41,000/. For annum, being at the rate
of Si. 2,. 6d. per cent. per annum on the capital of
800,0001., commencing from that date. The directors
anticipate a growing traffic on this line, and they trust
that, although some time may elapse before it prove re-
munerative, the proprietors of the South-Eastern Com-
pany will obtain that credit for promptly maintaining
chat engagement to which their good faith entitles them.
The improvements that were required at the Brick-
layers' Arms Station for the goods department are
rapidly approaching completion, which is the case also
with the accommodation required to be provided on
the North Kent and Reading, Guildford, and Reigate
lines fir the like purpose.
" The directors think the proprietors may safely anti-
cipate a gradual and satisfactory increase of revenue
from the goods traffic. The traffic at Folkestone, in
merchandise from France, is increasing; the Customs
duties received at that port, which were 4,0084 in 1817,
8,218/. in 1848, and 42,260/. in 1849, amounted in the
last six months to 41,3161., which affords satisfactory
evidence of the preference which the port of Folkestone
will obtain when it can present equal facilities in all
other respects, as well as the advantage of speedy deli-
very. The South-Eastern and Continental Steam Packet
Company are making arrangements for a daily steamer
for the carriage of merchandise between Boulogne and
Folkestone. Hitherto there has been one on only three
days of the week. Conveniences will be provided at the
London-bridge terminus for the examination of valuable
goods as soon as possible. The establishment fur the
repairs of carriages and waggons has been removed
to the new buildings at the station at Ashford. The
