In renewing the application to Parliament for a North Kent Line,
it has been determined to bang forward the entire of the scheme ori-
ginally contemplated. The indertaking now proposed is for the for-
mation of a direct Line of Railway, from London to Dovor, commenc-
ing near the Waterloo and lfungerford Bridges, and proceeding by
Blackheath, 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
Quay s, and Chilliam, and alsouniting, by its communications at Can-
terbury, with the Line already authorised to Ramsgate and Margate.
Dover will thus be brought within the shortest practicable Rklway
Towns and Districts will obtain those Railway facilities of communi-
cationdistance from the metropolis, and all the above-named intermediate
with the metropolis and with each other which they are at pre-
sent so mach in want of ; and valuable and most important connexions
will also be completed between the great arsenals and depots of the
country.
The importance of this Line to the principal places having, at
present, some circuitous and incomplete Railway communication,
will be manifest, by the following table orcomparative distances from
the metropolis at Hungerfoni-bridge, viz.:—

The recent Parliamentary
Investigation into the schemes 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 district ; and that among the
projects submitted to Parliament, the line of the London, Chatham,
and North Kent Company was
the best , as it was the first in the
field. It was also manifest that the reasons assigned by the Railway
Board preferring the 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 valu-
able advantage in their present scheme by securing the co-operation
of Mr. Locke, acting in consultation with Mr. Vignola, their en-
gineer, in fixing the capital of the Company, and settling the line and
the engineering features.
'-no project, of which the outline is now
put forth, will, of course, be subject to such modifications as may
hereafter be deemed desirable.
For the purpose of carrying out this complete and comprehensive
scheme, it is proposed to raise a capital of 3,300,0001., to be divided
into 66,000 shares of 501. each, and that these shares shall be allotted
on a present deposit of 21. 10s. per share. It is proposed that the
owners of Scrip Certificates in the original scheme are to have the
option of receiving an equal number of shares in the new project,
upon surrendering their present Scrip, and upon payment of 10s. 6d.
returned per share, which, Ivith the MlKScrip, will make up the required deposit of 2/. 105. per share;
remaining to be on the
o ma rn
ei
are thereupon to be entitled to a preference in the allot-
dginttnilaoelfyt-he remaining shares to the extent of three new shares for
every two original shares 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 thereef by letter addressed to the
Provisional
Committee, 011 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
when required, or in default they
ge of such option and preference.
