improving the port and harbour of Harwich, and, as in severe
weather this is the only port on this coast for which vessels can
make, it becomes of importance that a speedy communication with
London should be opened. During the last winter the mails from
Holland and other countries were landed here in order to avoid the
delay and danger attendant on a prolongation of the voyage up the
Thames. The line projected by Mr. Locke from Harwich to Col-
chester there is no doubt will be carried, and by the proposed con-
tinuation of that line from Colchester to Shelford, and thence by
the North-Eastern Railway to Cambridge, a saving in distance of
18 miles over any other projected line is ebtained,—and conse•
quently no necessity exists for the obstruction to, or deterioration
of, ornamental property along so many miles of road, the
most valuable portion of the line ; and this railway also passes
through towns better suited for railway communication, and through
a country with a less undulating surface. It is also confidently be-
lieved, that by the construction of the branch line to the hythe or
port of Colchester, the aid of the Commissioners of that port will be
obtained, as great traffic exits between the port and the town of
Halstead, and thereby the profits of the Commissioners will be greatly
increased. The traffic from the tables, which have been most care-
fully prepared, and with moderation, appears to warrant a return of
at least 3 per cent. on the capital, without taking into consideration
the important additions which must result from the contemplated
improvement in the port and harbour of Hal .vich, isy which there
can be little doubt the number of passengers Atom and to the Con-
tinent will be enormous, for by this line a saving of time will be
effected to the following extent :
The journey from London to Rotterdam will lie performed in 12
hours, ftom London to Antwerp in 14 hours, and from London to
Hamburgh in 25 hours. The traffic in merchandise of all descrip-
tions will be greatly increased from the accommodation which will be
afforded by the improved port to vessels of every tonnage, in all
weathers, and at all times of the tide.
There is one point, however, to which the Committee beg most
particularly to invite the attention of the public and the commercial
world, which is, that not only will rapid railway communication be
opened with Bury St. Edmunds, Norwich, Yarmouth, and the metro-
polis, but a direct line of railway will be constructed between the
two coasts of England—the valuable commercial and continental
port of Harwich, in the east, and the manufacturing and densely-
populated district of Liverpool and Manchester, in the north ; and it
is impossible to calculate the advantages whieh must result to share-
- holders in this important project.
The public will perceive, therefore, that the benefits to be derived
from this line over any other must be these:-
1. A more direct.
2. A saving of 18 miles.
3. A less expensive outlay.
4. Less opposition (if tiny at all) from landowners.
The Committee beg to state that the necessary forms will be ob-
served, and the documents prepared to enable them to offer the pro-
ject to Parliament in a complete form in the ensuing session ; and
they hope, from the favourable opinion which many noblemen and
gentlemen upon the route entertain of the superior advantages of
this project, with their offers of support, that other gentlemen locally
interested will be inclined to aid in carrying out a scheme which has
been prepared with the utmost care and attention to the interests of
the landed proprietors and the public generally.
The local population alone which will be benefited by the measure
is upwards of 70,000.
Tile Committee reserve the power of adopting such principle of
railway traction as may be found best calculated to attain the greatest
speed with economy and the public safety.
No calls will be made beyond the deposit until the Act be obtained,
and power will be taken in the Act to allow the usual interest upon
all calls.
The sources from which the traffic will be derived are :-
1. From passengers proceeding from the midland and northern
counties, viz., Harwich, to the Continent and various parts of the
world, and from foreign passengers.
2. From local passengers between the termini.
3. From the carriage of the mails, merchandise, luggage, &c.
4. From the carriage of fish, which will be considerable.
5. From the agricultural produce and merchandise bet•,feeD the
important districts and populous towns on the line of road..

A prospectus with the complete list Of Local Provisional Committee
will be issued in a few days.
The object of this railway is not only to afford accommodatloli to
the counties proposed to be traversed, but will also unite with the
Brighton and Cheltenham Direct Railway, the Metropolitan Rail-
weys Junction, the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge
Wells Railway, and the Coast Railway. The great importance of
this union line of railway will be immediately seen upon reference to
the map. It is Mended to commence at High-street, in the Borough,
passing through Camberwell, where it will divide and take the fol-
lowing course, viz. ; The Kent branch will pass through the
thickly-populated parishes of Peckham, Peckham Rye, Lewisham,
Bromley, Orpington, Chelsfield, Shoreham, Otford, Kenmsing Seal,
Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Mailing, and Dit-
ton, from thence to Maidstone, where it will form a junction with
the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Direct
Railway. The Surrey and Sussex branch will run through Brixton,
Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balham-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Morden,
Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, where it will ferns a junction with the pro-
posed line to Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham, from thence to
Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways
Junction, and proceed through Capel, Rusper, Warnhans, Horsham,
Nnthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurst, Henfield, near Wigton, aid on
to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighton and
Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramuber, Coombes, Lane- '
ing, Sompting, Broadwater, and to Worthing, where it will come in
immediate contact with the Coast Railway,
It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas-
senger traffic arising from the densely-populated parishes contigu-
ous to the metropolis, hitherto unsupplied by railway, viz., Cam-
berwell, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Brixton, Clapham, Tooting,
Mitcham, &c. &c., will give this line a decided advantage over all
other projects, and will alone secure a profitable return.
The general passenger traffic of the Kent Branch (notwithstand-
ing its unquestionable extent) may be considered of secondary im-
portance to the immense transit of agricultural produce which this
county, justly termed " The Garden of England," daily sends to the
metropolitan markets, and particularly the locality of the Borough.
The importance of Maidstone as a terminus is obvious, it being
situated on the River Medway, and containing courts of justice,
county gaol, cavalry depot, and many other public establishments,
the assizes and sessions, and the business of the whole county being
conducted there. It is also, with the adjacent villages, the most
flourishing part of Kent, being surrounded by paper-mills, which are
more numerous and extensive in this neighbourhood than in any
other part of the kingdom, besides several other extensive factories.
breweries, Sce.
The Surrey and Sussex branch besides (unquestionably creating
all immense increase of passenger traffic between the metropolis and
the flourishing and now celebrated watering-place, Worthing) must
necessarily command the entire transit of fish, of which many tons
are conveyed weekly from Worthing to London; independent of other
commodities, and the agricultural produce of these two fertile and
productive counties.
The proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present exist-
ing between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham, and Steyn'ng,
and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, one of the most
romantic, fashionable, and delightffil watering-places on the coast of
Sussex, and an independent railway will of necessity occasion a
great influx of company to this already justly celebrated place. The
superiority of Worthing as It bathing-place stands unrivalled. The
views of the surrounding country are both extensive and picturesque ;
its sands are particularly worthy of note, being as smooth as carpet,
and offering a healthy anti delightful drive of ten miles. It is shel-
tered by an uninterrupted chain of the South Downs, which exclude
the wind even in the winter months. Tile salubrity of its climate is
too well known to require tlirther comment.
But the greatest source of profit to the shareholders will arise from
the immense number of passengers now proceeding by omnibus and
other conveyances to and from the metropolis, and the extensive said
densely-populated suburbs through which this line is intended to 'pass,
and it may be fairly calculated that lot less than 30,000 w4ll daily
avail themselves of the accommodation afforded to there by this
Company.
The promoters feel considerable satisfaction in annerancing a source
of revenue from this project never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the constrt'ction under the llne to Camberwell of

The entire distance of these lines or Camberwell will be about
ninety miles, and is free from engieee•• difficulties. The charac-
terfr of the country through which .1w railway will pass is peculiarly,
favourable; and from the repor'4•ol the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be c•ae-otructed within the sum proposed.
It is Intended to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-

The Manchester and

sidered it to be for the benefit of the shareholders to avoid any Par-

Y, entered into an arrange-
other Company. It has become necessary,
In pursuance of this arrangement, the line of the Manchester and
Milford Haven Railway will commence by a junction with the other
nue, near Llangentg, instead of at Crewe. The capital is reduced

to 1,500,0001.; and a portion of the Shares have been granted to the
