The advantages which will result to the public from the adoption
of these lines may be reduced to the following tabular form :

further advertisement, whose sup]
dertaking,.

Tort has been promised to the un-

and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 feat.
The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City-road,
Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available
as at present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
singing on the canal.
Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro-
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn-
paratively moderate expense.

The object of the Company win be to secure the best accommo-
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
all future companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected in a manner and at a
cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.
There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri•
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall-street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.

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
runurtage Web, Lowes, and Bright On.
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 Wrotham to
Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge
Wells, passing Ucklield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton,
Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
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 term. aua puvulous tracts tnrougn

passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, and North Kent, bite direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con-
junction with the railways mow in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large populanom of the North Eastern Coun-
ties, numbering nearly two million s, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, withomt going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
lines north and south of the metrop
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the con.veyance of troops and stores, Is
evident.
With the existing railways, and tthose now in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system. ,of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the projeet hvas been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledvat of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, a nil 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 has be em ascertained to be 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-accommodotion thus affor de d to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most i m portant as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the c of until,.
The Committee reserve power to, themselves to form a branch
from Wrotham to Chatham.
The liability of the shareholders, will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of theirs I.lb scriptions, and power will be
applied for in the Bill to allow inter, it tat 4 per cent, per annum on
all calls, from the passing of the Act u n til the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, and. also for shares, may be ad-
dressed in the form annexed to Gem'g. Smith, Esq.,Solicitor, 24,

end ; Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lee re: ; and also to t

may be allotted to me, and to pay the de pi sit thereon, and to execute

Bombay to the foot of the Ghauts, and the latter for promoting
railway communication with the interior of the peninsula upon a
more extended scale) have, with other influential parties,
formed themselves into a Local Provisional Committee, and are
taking active measures for the identification of the interests of
their respective Subscribers with those of the Great Indian Penin-
sular Railway Company.
