affording a direct communication between the two great military and

projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini st
Ch cheater awl Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of oetninunica-
Ron with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
coonesting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
toward; the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the ad vantap,,,e of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London .bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
5,-.•,ral docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a Lon ion terminus for merchandise of alt descriptions.
