The above French and English Committees, having formed a
Company to compete for the adjudication of this line, are for the
Most part composed of the active promoters of the Great Northern
of France Railway (Rosar*el Company). A preference will, In con-
sequence, be given in the allotment f shares (in proportion to the
number held in the Rosamel Company) to parties presenting the
certificates of that Company, and upon signing the proper form of
application, on or before the 18th of October instant.
It is expected that this railway will be soon put up for adjudication,
which renders it necessary to close almost immediately the list of ap-
plications.
Applications for shares at the disposal of the English Provisional
Committe.., in the usual form, will he received, with a reference to

It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, ar.d North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus farm, in con.
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising front the unconnected
lines north and south of the metropolis.

The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.

With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the project has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Oravesend have
promised their entire sanction ►o, and will cordially support It.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, avid found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to lite amply suf.
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to lie the result of the
increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themlelves to form a branch
from Wrotham to Chatham.

The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be
applied for In the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, may be ad-
dressed in the form annexed to George Smith, Esq., Solicitor, 24,
