. Offices of the Company-44, Moorgate-street, City, E.C.
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 4 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-
)any, 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 'Mesta being on the ove 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
eHumber.
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 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the
northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by
Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as
per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the
direct route of postal communication.
