SEC RETA Rlf— Prori-•,CK Collier, Esq.

The entire proo.-',.•`" vi the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from
n to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro-
'
form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
Ins"! road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be ettezted b,tween all existing and projected railways north of the
Thar.,,, combined with the advatittz,a of a general City terminus,
_is too i,tivlcius to rcquire comment.
By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of tire mails to most parts of the kingdom.
Th.:. lee will commence at the Great Western Railway for
and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
9,etifig the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Pen-
tunril!e, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwall
Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts of Pad.
Camden.town, Islington, City-road, lloxton, Kingsland,
ud ilackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime.
?,,,tise, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
ontage of 170 feet.

The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City road,
Crivebouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available
-.1 at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
fisting on the canal.
Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro.
9sect extension, which it is found can bo constructed at a corn
:ratively xnoderate expense.
Tias object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo.
ation to the ohne, and to deal impartially with the present and
tutUr• 110Mraeleg who may avail themselves of this Line. The
