aboVe (100,000 ililiabitaiitS, and forming a
rect. route to
Railway at Bruges, Which has now become the most Z
-ies east
the interior of Belgiuni, Germany, Prussia, and the count,
of the FL itch frontier,
In laying before the pUblit tilt prospectus of this proposed line, it
may be mentioned as one of its pill-V.IIIIM advantages, that it will
rethice the passage from London to Brussels, new occupying
twenty-four or tWeitty=slX hours, under the most favourable circtuu-
stances, and often thirty or forty, to tWeive hours, rendering it prac-
ticable to maks tile journey With ease In one day, and at two• thirds
of the present expense. .The long, tedious, and unc:,rtain sea voyage
will also he avoided from Dover to OStend, Which, to travellers gene-
rally, and particularly to ladies and invalid g, it exceedingly dis-
agreeable, and often attended WI: II serious doaseqtteliceS.
It can hardly admit of a question, that tilt principal part of the
passenger traffic between the two capitals, London aatl DAISSeIs, to-
gether with the passenger traffic of the populous cities of AntifiSfp,
and Ghent, the latter being the Manchester of Belgium, and the im-
portant towns of St. Nicholar and Tierlmond, will be, under thee:
circumstances, drawn into this channel; and another important ad-
vantage to the public, and source of revenue to the Company, will be
found in the transmission of the Belgian, German, and Prussian
mails, which are now conveyed by steamers from Dover to Ostend,
at a very considerable expense, and with much less certainty and ex-
pedition than if transmitted to Calais, a sea passage of only 24 miles,
and usually made in two hours.

The traffic and expenditure may be fairly estimated as follows :
From 50,800 passengers, who, according to the recent re-
. .

turns irom.4lstend and Antwerp, annually visit the Conti-

vent and return by this route, say, tro►.i each, on an are-
- rage, 10s. each way .... .£50,000

_
For the transport of mails from the respective Governments Wine
Local traffic in goods and passengers

£llO,OOO
Deduct the expenses of working the line, calculated et •... 80,000

.60,000

Thus leaving a profit of 10% per cent. to the shareholders, with
every p-ospect of a consideraide increase annually in the traffic, as
has been by experience proved to be the result on all the Oilier lilies
in operation in Belgium, as well as other miliaria.

The projected railroad would pass thrOtigh It perfectly level tract
of country rich in agricultural productions, presenting no natural
impediments to its construction, and would require neither tunnels
nor viaducts ; and the only bridges necessary would be the spanning
of a few dykes. Thus the construction would be unattended with
heavy expense, and its working, when completed, of the same eco,
nomical character; for, as experience has shown, the most consider-
able item iu working a railway is the supply of coal tbr the locomo-
tives; the proximity to the port of Dunkirk, and the easy access to
the Belgian coal fields, obviate this difficulty.
This line, which has been already examined by an eminent engi-
neer, will be about sixty miles in extent from one extremity to the
other ; will connect In Its route the towns of Calais, Gravelines, and
Dunkirk, in France, with Furness, Nieuport, and Bruges, in Bel-
gium ; thus securing a very important local traffic in goods and paS.-
seng:rs, independent of the foreign traffic before alluded to, placing
the possibility of its paying beyond all doubt.
Arrangements are in progress and strongly supported bypersons of
the highest influence both in Belgium and France for obtaining, the
consent of the Belgian and Freneh Governments to the above line ;
and as it is so obviously advantageous to the former Government
to encourage the formation of a line, bringing two such important
capitals as Brussels and London within ten hours distance of each
other, and the intention of the latter to encourage the formation of a
continuous line of railway raund the coast, little doubt is entertained
by the Directors in Belgium, France, and England, ofsuch applications
proving successful.

_
In the event of the applications proving unsuccessful, the deposits
will be returned, with the exception of a charge on each share, not
exceeding five shillings.
