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, tire.
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 Corn-
DanY, 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 corn.
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 iao other port possesses on the eastern coast south of
th. Humber.
By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and
delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth
of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time
is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10
to 1] hours; whilst the route to
Oberhausen and thence to the
northern parts of Europe is four hours
aand a quarter less by
Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as
per tabular statement, and thus the former
direct route of postal communication. musa t become the
