the tne.tropolis. So niso as to Erentford, How: log-, .
ston, gird Epsom—it will afford to them access to the Great Western,
London and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern lines; and by,
this line. in connexion with one proposed to Hounslow from the Me-
tropolis, and the other proposod end established lines north and south
of it, easy access will be afforded to Hampton-court, Epsom, seal
other favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.
The average number ea persons visiting Hampton-court in the •
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the eonnty of Kent and western division of Middle-
sex of the north and north-western markets with fruit during the
season, would, by this line, be immensely Increased, and fbrin another
source of income to the Company.
This undertaking presents the additional and important advantage
of competing with no line at present established ; on the contrary,
it will be the means of connecting and feeding the several lines enu-
merated, and several others that are projected; and the engineer
reports that it passes over a particularly easy country, and will be
capable of construction at about 16,0001. per mile ; and the land-
owners on the line who have been, seen, are favourable to the un-
dertaking.
The length of the line will be about 18 miles.

To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby,
at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the
utmost importance.
One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or
Rridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro-
posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu-
nication between Ireland and the Metropolis, this line will thereby
afford to passengers the easist communication to and Irons the central
