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 pf a steam ferry 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,
Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South.
Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfleld to Lewes,
and thence joining tke Brighton, Lewes, nd Hastings Railway to
Brighton.

An inspection of the map will clearly show the great Import-
ance of this railway, whether considered in a local •r natioual
point of •iew, 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 Thawoes, at:d North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus feral, in oen_
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the ISlediterranean.
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
tines north and south of the metropolis.

The *linty of this line to the naval and military service, both In
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores. Is
evident.

With the existing railways, and these now In progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected; and as such, the proleet has keen received with the meet
distinguished approbation, and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it.
The ground has been careally surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to no amply suf.
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the
increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches
from Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.

The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Aet of
Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be
applied for the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en
all calls, from he passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
