SECRRTARY—Frederick Collier, Esq.

The entire property of the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from Paddington to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro-
Posed to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
City-road basin to the vicinity (lithe General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be erected between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the• advantage of a general City terminus,
Is too obvious to require comment,
By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.

The line will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
minu4, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting (Li Liaties sled taraia6haro Itaaviey at Cualiell-tows,

the proposed Litdott ana York and Direct Itlatiehebtt r near Pen-
tonvilie, the Eastern Counties a, Old Ford, and the Blackwall
Railway at Limehnuse ; traters:rig the populcu, districts ',of Pad-
dington, Camden-towo, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland,
and Hackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
tiotte, a.:!oining the Rivcr Thames, to which there is a wharf
trontage of 170 feet.

The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City.road,
Limehouse, and along the line of canal will be rtplally available
as at present for the large and increasing local goods tratlic now
existing on the canal.

Surveys have been made of the property required for the pro•
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a comrn
paratively moderate expense.
The object of the Company will be to secure the best accommo.
dation to the public, and to deal impartially with the present and
tutu., companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of she present railway companies will be materially im-
proved. and a great national work effected in a manlier and at a
cost which c ,uld be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.

There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,
the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
alremy established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri•
vale property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confident y expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.

Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq., at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basingliall.street.

Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.

LOCAL SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Coomte and Sharland, Town.hall, Gravesend
Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail-
way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways,
by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail.
way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river
by a steam fioating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Wrotham to
Tunbridge, thence by the South• Eastern Railway to Tunbridge
Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton,
Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.

An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import.
ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national
point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com-
munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it
passes.

It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, and 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 el the populous and important
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from 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 conveygnee 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 fravesend have
promised their entire sancam to, and will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf.
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a hrge
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be 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 resetve power to themselves 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,
Golden-square; Messrs. Coombe and Sharland, Town.hall, Graves-
end ; Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes ; and also to the following
Sharebrokers :—Messrs. Field, Son, and Bayley, Warnford-court,
Throgmortou-strect, London ; Messrs. Harris and Sons, Change-
alley,, London; Mr. M. L. Pritchard, Liverpool ; Messrs.

and Palmer, Plymouth ; Mr. J. B. Mundy, Bath ; Mr. A. Moffatt,
Edinburgh.

To the Provisional Committee of the Brighton, Lewes, Tunbridge
Wells, Gravesend, and E'tstern Counties Junction R.ailway.
I request that you will allot me shares in the proposed
Brighton, Lewes, Tunbridge Wells, Gravesend, and Eastern Counties
Junction Railway ; and I agree to take all such shares, or so many as
may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and to execute
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when re.
quired so to do.
