will be entirely obviated, and manufacturers and merchants in mos'
parts of the country, west and north, or south, will be thus en
abled to forward and receivegoods direct from and to Dever an I
Folkstone, avoiding the present inconvenient mode and expense of
transference from railway to railway across London.
Any attempt to distinguish the number of passengers proceed-
ing to or from London, or the provinces and the continent by the
South Eastern and Dover Rail.vay, would be abortive; but the
published statements of that Company show that the traffic ex.
ceeds 8,0001. weekly, and the accounts of arrivals at, and departures
from Calais, Boulogne, and Ostend, exhibit an astonishing number
of persons as passengers to and from England weekly, by Dover
and Folkenstone, throughout the whole of the year. Yielding to
the metropolis otie.half of the number as a large proportion, the
remaining half will belong to the provinces and Ireland, who will
probably prefer to be conveyed from or to their localities without
the annoyance of being compelled to pass through London, es.
pecially as the saving of distance alone will considerably diminish
expenses.
The construction of this line of railway can hardly fail to meet
1 the full approvol of the Government ; as, besides its great com-
mercial utility, the convenience it will afford for the speedy Iran.
isport of troops from Ireland, or the north, south, or west of Eng-
land to Dover, in a direct manner, avoiding the present necessity of
marching them across London or ether towns, after they are once
placed in railway carriages, must be greatly appreciated ; and where
it is expedient that expedition and secrecy should be observed in
the removal of troops, the means offered by this Company will
greatly assist the authorities in facilitating their objects.
The railways already constructed or projected with which this
line of railway will effect a union or communication, and recipro-
cate, advantages exceed fifty ;al number (as will be seen by examin-
ing any railway map), and all of them must be in direct commu-
nication with, and will feed, or be fed by The Southern Counties
Union, and Bristol, Both, and Dover Direct Railway ; the most
important junctions being those leading to this line from the north
and the manufacturing districts by Oxford to Dovor and Brighton,
those from Ireland, North Wales by Cheltenham or Oxford and
this railway to Dover or Brighton, and those from the south and
west of England by Salisbury to Dover; thus effecting a con-
tinuance and direct intercourse with nearly every part of Eng-
land, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and the continent.
The census returns show that this railway will pass through a
country containing a population of upwards of one million, and this
number, though large, may be fairly multiplied several times, if all
the other parts of the kingdom which will benefit by it be eau.
sidered.
With these facts before them, the promoters have not deemed it
necessary to put forth estimates of traffic; the soundness of the
project being guaranteed by the truths already given in this brief
exposition, and the great objects intended to be compassed by this
Company,
