has been for some thue the object of her Majesty's Commis-
'''ens of Metropolltau Improvements to carry out the important
", cf. en Embankment of the Thames, so as to improve the naviga-
?tide,ge.
' and, at the same time, provide a splendid drive and prome-
wr,, al°og the Middlesex shore, W from hitehifli-place to Blackfriars-
The attainment of these great objects
a- „tow has
hitherto been impeded by
and it is now proposed to obviate the most ins-
sit _ them, by the formation of a company to execute Mr.

Commissioners, and to combine with it an Atmos-

s: ',los Itsilway, near Fenchurch-street, wit's a branch acrois the
istZttro' talcs's% the various railways terminating at the London-bridge-
.
It is
evious this great undertaking cannot be carried into Je., without thesangtion of the Government and the City authori-
ln4„.Por the purpose of obtaining this the Provisional Direc.tors

~IlaslOners, to whom proposals have been submitted regarding
ev,r:e_ctien and management of this work, for which they have
r',,s-casois to expect a favourable consideration.

a:rating, with the import nice of the extensions to the Blackwall
lge railways, it was not their intention to have pro-
Isrra,7l, in the first instance, Mrther than the vicinity of London-
theßank ; but they have received such offers of support
frornmany influential parties anxious to promote
coast,' •
'ca:lvith these lines, that they have resolved, after the fullest
-rfdion, to enlarge their original plan, In order to include the
t• te 01 these object's one complete and comprehensive scheme.

in so ninny railways, viz., the Blackmail, Eastern Counties, and

Eastern on the one side, and the Brighton, South
d irs..ensvich, and Croydon, on the other, with Charing-cross
