In renewing the application to Parliament for a North Kent Line,
it has been determined to bring forward the entire of the scheme ori-
ginally contemplated. The undertaking now proposed is for the for-
mation of a direct Line of Railway from London to Dovor, commenc-
ing near the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and proceeding by
Rlackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sitting-
bourne, and Canterbury, terminating at Dovor, and by a branch also
at Deal, with other branches to Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham
Qua. s, and Chilham, and also uniting, by its communications at Can-
terbury, with the Line arcade authorised to Ramsgate and Margate.
Dovor will thus be brought within the shortest practicable Railway
distance from the metropolis, and all the above-named intermediate
Towns and Districts will o'tain those Railway facilities of communi-
.cation with the metropolis and with each other which they are sit pre-
sent so much in want of ;and valuable and most important connexions
will also be completed between the great arsenals and depots of the
country.
The im?ortance of this Line to the principal places having, at
present, some circuitous and incomplete Railway communication,
will be manifest, by the following table of comparative distances from
'he metropolis at Hungerford-bridge, viz.:—

The recent Parliamentary investigation into the sehemes.for this-
district has tended to establish that the North Kent traffic is such as
to insure more than the Usual rate of profit to the Company who may
be fortunate enough to succeed in obtaining power to undertake the
Line through that, as yet, unoccupied dist.let ; and that among the
projects submitted to Parliament, the line of the London, Chatham.
and North Kent Company \Val the best, as it was the first in the
field. It was also manife t that the reasons assigned by the Railway
Board preferring he scheme of the South Eastern Company not only
were without weight with the Parliamentary Committee, but were
in all important respects entirely unsustained In proof.
The Provisional Committee of Management have obtained a ialu- •
able advantage in their present vele me by securing the co-operation
of Mr. Locke, acting in consultation with Mr. Vignol s, their, en-
gineer, in fixing the capital of the Company, and settling the line and'
the engineering features. The project, of which the outline is now
put forth, will, of course, be subject to such modifications as may
hereafter he deemed desirable.
For the purpose of carrying out thi4 complete and comprehensive
scheme, it is proposed to raise a capital of 3.300.0°01',
to be divided
into 66,000 shares of 501. each, and that these shares shall be allotted
on a present deposit of 2/. 10s. per share. It is proposed that the
owners of Scrip ..2ertificates in the original scheme are to have the
option of receiving an equal number of shares in the new project,
upon surrendering their present *trip, and upon payment of les. 6d.
with the amount remaining to be returned on the
will
make up the required deposit of 2/. 10i. per share;.
oparienrdgistnhhaaelrySe'acr."rie'ph' which,
to be entitled to a preference in the allot-
ment of the remaining shares to the extent of three new shares for
every two original sha:es so exchanged. In default of payment of
the deposits at the time to be appointed, or of the subsequent in-
stalments to be called for after the Act shall have been'obtained, the
shares will be forfeited.
All persons desirous of availing themselves of this option and pre-
ference, are required to give notice thereof by letter addressed to the
Provisional Committee, on or before the Bth of August next, and
stating their.proper names, residences, and descriptions, according to
the subjoined forms, Nos. 1 and 2, and are to deliver in their existing
Scrip Certificates for examination when required, or in default they
will forfeit the privilege of such option and preference. .
Any Scripholder in the original scheme desirous of retiring, will be
entitled, on surrendering his Scrip, to have the deposit thereon re-
turned to him, less 15s. Gd. per Share as the proportion of the ex-
penses in,uried since the 29th of January last.
Applications for Shares by other parties must be addressed to the
Committee if Management according to the subjoined Form No. E.
