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 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 the Brighton, Lewes, nd Hastings Railway to
Brightest.

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 term, in can.
junction with the railways ROW 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 et the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
lines north and south of the metropolis.
The utility 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 moat complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the meat
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 carefully surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.

The existing local traffic bas been ascertained to be amply suf.
Ilcient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffii 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 I. form branches
from Snodland to Chatham and Maidstone.

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