they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tornage of goods it is calculated will be in full pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probabilit if ,future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been Pada*, ist every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly.ex he calculated amount. There are, however, in this
instance, r*oils for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con-
veyance of passengers. Tim country which the line of railway will
open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and In addition to the
admired districts of Brixton. and Streatham, the long-favoured and
much-frequented Beulah and -Norwood will be placed within easy
access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight
to the visitor and resident of The metropolis.
There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must
become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital.
The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing
that it is approved of,- and will he generally supported by local in-
fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will
be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers
that there are net more than ordinary difficulties to contend with.
The liability of tlitiii)eareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia-
ment, to the aninktflPof their subscriptions; and power Win 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 opens .of the line.
