ndou and Birmingham. and Northern and Eastern linos; and by

It, easy access will be afforded -to 1 , Epsom, and
ier favourite places of resort. There can be no doubt, therefore,
,fiat the passenger traffic alone will be sufficient to pay a very large
dividend on the outlay.

The average number of persons visiting llampton-court in the
summer months amounts to about 18,000 per week.
The supply by the county 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 form 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.
