Ttis railway will commence at Sheerness in conjunction with a
short steam-ferry communication from a point at or near to South•
end, ou the opposite Essex coast, and will proceed from Sheerness
by Queenborough to Faversham, where it will form a junction with
one of the proposed lines from London by that lowa to Canterbury
and Dover. _ _ _

The integral line will be Continued from Faversham to or near to
Herne Buy, and from thence to the tiouth=Eastern Extension
Railway (now being made), at a point near Sarr, and will then pro
ceed on that line direct to ltamsgatc eastwards, and direct to Peal
south-eastwards. From a point between Herne Bay and Bart the
line will also be carried by a short eXtenSion to Margate.
By this project Marge° will be placed within 75 miles of the me-
tropolis instead of more than 100, as at resent, and tha,, too, by a
direct line through Faversham, at which place it will meet the Lon-
don lines. _ _

The important town of Ramsgate, now so extensively connected
with continental cornmanicAion, will also be thus afforded a much
nearer overland route. to London ; and Deal, Ramsgate, Margate,
Herne Bay, Sheerness, Chatham, Rochester, Gravesend, Woolwich,
Greenwich, and London, will all be placed in immediate or easy con-
nexion upon one continuous line of railway.
By means also of this undertaking, in conjunctl)n with the exist-
ing and projected railways proceeding to the south coast of Essex,
the whole of the passengers and traffic from Liverpool, Manchester,
Leeds, Hull, York, and the Northern, the Midland, and the
Eastern Counties, will be conveyed to Dover and the Conti-
nent via Sheerness, in preference to a -lengthened and cir-
cuitous route through the ;metropolis, whereby the journey will be
shortened more than M;) miles, travelling expenses will be curtailed.
and the serious inconvenience and delay of transhipment and con-
veyance from one part of London to another wholly avoided.

A glance at the map also will show the immense advantage which
the metropolis itself will enjoy by its being thus afforded other routes
to the coast of Kent. The millions who annually seek pleasure in
excursions to Gravesend, Sheerness, Southend, Herne Bay, Margate,
Itamsgate, Deal, and Dover, will have a choice of different routes.
They may proceed by railway, on the Essex side of the Thames, to
the Thames Haven, Tilbury Fort, or Southend—pass over to Sheer-
ness by water, and thence proceed direct by this railway—or they
may reach Sheerness wholly by water, and then avoid the sea—or,
may pass at once from London, on the Surrey side of the Thames,
to Sheerness, Ilene Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate, by railway hi a
direct line, consuming ouly about two hours in the journey, and may
vary their pleasure by going in one direction and returning by
another.

Independently of the vast multitudes who will thus seek health
and recreation, the importance, as a national object, of connecting all
the above-mentioned towns, ".and giving a direct line from Sheerness to
Dover, together with the immense existing traffic In the direction of
the undertaking, and the great increase which the improved and
enlared modes of communication throughout Kent will occasion,
must be too apparent to need further observation ; and the Commit-
tee, from careful inquiry, feel confidence in stating that no scheme of
railway has yet been offered to public attention combining greater
public and private advantages.

About thirty-six miles of new railway only will embrace all the
above important objects—viz., from Sheerness to laverrham
about 2 •• • • •• • .

Faversham to Herne Bay • •
Thence to Sarr • • • .• • ••••••••• • • • • • .. .
The extension to Margate ...... .........

The country has already been preliminary surveyed, and found to
be exceedingly favourable. Indeed, it is almost a dead fiat from
Faversham to Margate.

The landed propi:letors are not only willing but desirous that the
undertaking should be accomplished, and it is at the request of many
of them that the promoters have determined on prosecuting it.
The Committee reserve the power of making branches to Canter-
bury and to Deal, if circumstances .shoal I hereafter render it ad-
visable.

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