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, ad Hastings Railway to
Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import.

once 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 form, is oon_
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Ceun_
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of 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 those now in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected; and as such, the projeet has been received with the nusst
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 has been ascertained to be amply suf-
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of ♦aluable traffic cannot tail to be th• result of the
increased accommodation thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as procinctive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves M tuna 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, frem the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses and also for shares may be
addressed in the annexed form to the Secretary, at the Offices or
the Company, 11, Adam.street, Strand ; to George Smith, Esq.

T.he objects contemplated by the Company are to provide an ex-
euege or, place of meeting for all persons connected or interested in
railways, wnether British or foreign.
To provide buildings suited° for a club-horse, chambers, and the
deposit of goals, this erection of halls for public meetings, and the
exhibition and centellisation of all matters connected with railways.
To provide for the widening of the thoroughfares of Throgmorton-
street, Copthall-court, and Tokenhouse-yard ; also to form two
covered public footways leading from Tokenhouse-yard and Copthall-
court to London-wall, Finsbury. and the north of London.
To facilitate these tobjects it is proposed to erect, as shown by the
plan, an exchange In the most central part of the metropolis, spacious
and commodious fire-proof edifices, comprising suitable ranges of
offices for railway companies, private committee-rooms, spacious
halls for annual and general meetings, &.c., and an extensive range
of warehouses as a general goods depot for railway transit. The
various departments of the proposed establishment will, amongst
other Important and eligible appointments, include a railway ex-
change, club-house, halls, chambers, and general goods depot.
To railway companies in general such an establishment will be
essentially useful, as every company will have all the convenience of
an office in the centre of London, where communication, under the
same establishment, may be had with every company throughout the
kingdom. By the adoption of this plan a general representation of
all the railways will at once be had, whereby an effective union for
their mutual interests will take place. and a general public good will
be established,
The site fixed upon (being situate between Lothbury and London-
wall. and very contiguotts to the Royal Exchange, Bank, and Stock
F.-cchange) is well calculated for carrying out the whole of the above
rnt,,oses ; a careful survey and estimate has been made by compe-
-1,: ,t surveyors, and (after allowing for the expenses of management)
IL, revenue arising from the exchange, the rental from railway COM-
j)unles, the hire of the public hall and committee-rooms for general
and private meetings, the rent of offices and shops, the annual sub-
scriptions from members of the club, and from the general goods
depot and warehouses, and otherwise, a return equal to 15 per cent.
will he realised on the capital embarked.
It will be seen by the plans proposed, that It is contemplated to
widen the thoroughfares of Tokenhouse-yard, Angel-court, and
Cr; at Bell-alley, as well as to form light, open, and convenient foot-
*,-;:.rs between Lotlibnry and London-wall, thereby forming direct
trignmanicatisni between those parts and the buildings proposed to
be erected.

oublle improvements will considerably enhance the revenue of
the Company, and will afford easy access to the Railway Exchange,
111!lway Club-house, Halls, Re., and will be the means of obtaning
the c:,rdial co-operation of the Corporation of the City of London.,
