The object of this line is to complete the only link wanting in the
chain of railway communication between the ports of Hastings,
Rye, Hythe, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, and
Deal.
The railway already existing between Dover and Folkestone, and
those mow forming by the South-Eastern Company in Kent, Sussex,
and the Isle of Thanet, and between the latter place and Deal, leave
a short distance of nine miles devoid of railway, which this Company
proposes to supply. Taken, however, in connexion with the proposed
Kent and Essex Union, and Dover, Hastings, and Brighton Junction,
, it will p.rfect the entire coast line from the mouth of the Medway to
Poole.
The inhabitants of Hastings, Rye, Folkestone, Sandwich, Dover,
Deal, Ramsgate, and Margate, apart from the very advantageous
extension embraced by the above two schemes, will, by means of this
line, enjoy the benefits of a speedy, cheap, and direct intercourse with
each other, in powerful contrast to the present broken and tedious
route by land, or the unpleasant and lengthy sea-voyage round the
North and South Forelands.
It Is anticipated that, beside the above advantages, increased im-
petus will be given to the trade of those places by thus intimately
connecting their respective interests.
Applications for shares and prospectuses to be addressed to the
solicitors, S. P. Hook, Esq. 7, Coleman-street, London ; G. T. Thomp-
son, Esq., solicitor, Dover ; Messrs. Mercer and Edwards, solicitors,
Deal ; or Messrs. Shewell and Co., stockbrokers, Tokenhouse-yard,

The Directors have for some time past been in direct communica-
tion with the Belgian Government, and they have entered into a
preliminary arrangement, under date ot the 27th of September, 1845
with the Minister of public Works, by which the Minister grants to,
them the preference for the concession of a railway, to be called the
"Grand Junction," and engages to conclude with the Directors a
provisional contract, previously to submitting thesanction of Legis-

lature.
The valuable and important ironworks of Couvin will also, under
the same agreement, be ceded to the Company.
The Belgian Grand Junction Railway will directly connect the
provinces of Brabant, Hainault, Liege, Limbourg, aed Namur, with
each other, and with the Government lines of railway, as also with
the several lines of Liege and Namur, Landen and Bassett, Louvain
and Jemeppe, Sambre and Meuse, and the Great Luxembourg
Mons. Marchal, the eminent Belgian engineer, has carefally Sur-
veyed the line, and has deposited the necessary plans, sections, and
estimates with the Belgian Government.
Mr. James Thomsow, one of the Company's engineers, has also
gone over the line, and reports most favourably upon the peculiar
facilities for the construction of the railway, and the entire absence
of all engineering difficulties.
The Chairman and two of the Directors have carefully traversed
the whole of the line, and have received the most positive assur-
ances of support from the local authorities and landed proprietors.
The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the.
census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188.551, and the dis-
tricts which it will traverse arc situated in the heart of Belgium,
and comprise an area of IGS square miles. The entire length of the
Belgian Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles.
This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of
Belgium, and, in addition to its vast agricultural produce, is rich in
ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume-
rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac-
tories of porcelain, glass, paper, Beetroot, sugar, gunpowder, Ecc.
The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which are tile most ex-
tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply
all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rate.
The Government lines already completed, as well as the several
privete lines now in course of construction, will necessarily be the
feeders to the Grand Junction lino, as it will unite with the whole of
them, and will traverse a district destitute of all water communica-
tion, and very imperfectly supplied with roads ; whilst the invariable

been eareftilly and accurately prepared ; aupon the improbable as-
sumption that, there will be no increase when the Grand JusicVon
Railway is constructed, the shareholders would even then receive a
largo interest on their capital. But, as in all cases, and more parti-
cularly in Belgium, increased facilities of communication have been
accompanied by a great increase of traffic, there can be no doubt
that the Grand Junction Railway Company w:1l pay a considerable
dividend to the shareholders.
Tim expense of construction, and the subsequent expenses of work-
ing the line, arc very much less than in English railways ; and it is
an important feature that the enormous outlay incident to a Parlia-
mentary contest in England is avoided.
A considerable saving will also be effected in the cost of iron, and
of the locomotive engines and traffic material, which will be manufac-
tured at the Couvin works; and the Company have, therefore, the
peculiar advantage of being independent of a supply from any other
quarter, and free from the delay and disappointment consequent upon
the present increased demand.
The grant will be for ninety years, and the Act will provide that
the railway shall, for the whole term, be exempt from all rates end
charges whatsoever, whether local or national.ill be constituted a
