The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail-
way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways,
by means of a steam terry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail-
way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river
by a steam floating-bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham,
Snediansl, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South-
Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes,
and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, od Hastings rtailway to
Brighton,

An Inspection of the map will clearly show the great import-
ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national
point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com-
munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it
passes.

It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con-
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to Landon, and
thereby. avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
hues north and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, fur the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

NVith the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, ttie project has been received with the meat
distinguished aprobnAton and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along tee line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it.
The Freund has been carefully surveyed, and tound to present
tie difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
. .

The existing local traffic has been ascertained to 1)-e amply suf.
Icient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the
incroased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
7gos of railway in that part of the country.

The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of
