COMPANY'S O • Moorgate-street (East Side).
SECRETARY—Philip N. Scanlan, Esq.

This Company has been fig med for the purpose of opening a line of
railway communieatio. between Calais and Bruges, passing through
important districts of France stud Belgium containing a population of
above 600,000 inhabitants, and forming a junction with the State
Railway at Bruges, which has now become the most direct route to
the interior of Belgium, Germany, Prussia, and the countries east
of the French frontier.

In laying before the public the prospectus of this proposed line, it
may be mentioned as one of its principal advantages, that it will
reduce the passage from London to Brussels, now occupying
twenty-four or twenty-six hours, under the most favourable circum-
stances, and often thirty or forty, to twelve hours, rendering it prac-
ticable to make the journey with elm In one day, and at two-thirds
of the present expense. The long, tedious, and uncertain sea voyage
will also be avoided from Dover to Ostend, which, to travellers gene-
rally, and particularly to ladies and invalids, is exceedingly dis-
agreeable, and often attended with serious consequences.
It can hardly admit of a question, that the principal part of the
passenger traffic between the two capitals, London and Brussels, to-
gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of Antwerp,
and Gheut, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im-
portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under these
circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another important ad-
vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be
found in the transmission of• the Belgian, German, and Prussian
mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend,
at a very considerable expense, and with much less certainty and ex-
