J. Y. AKERMAN., Secretary.
Th; Diiectors avail. themselves of the opportunity thus af-
forded them, of announcing to the Shareholslers that the whole
26, Cornhilf,
of the ,Anhes between London and the It• usbourne are icom-
pleted, with the ekeeption of those of Is Lover Berniondsey-
Street and High-street, Deptford, portion of which are, how!:
ever, on the ground, and the remainder on the road from the
Forindry. .
Though anxious to name a day for the opening from London
l3ridge, the Directors are unwilling to do so until the whole of
the hen Work for the Arch over BermOndsey-street is actually
on the spot. They are however assured by the paities supply-
in;; the same, that it will be completed iu a month from this
time, and the Directors have no reason whatever to doubt that
the other parts of the work will be'ready by the same period.
The Directors also beg to state that the works in the ,River
RaYenshearne are in a state of such forwardness as to justify
the expectationi that a communication with the Town of Green-
trich will be,effected simultaneously with the other parts of the
Line. The Engines
kid carriagesare daily running on a part
of the Line, rind yielding considerable returns, float which the
Directors have just reason to believe their expectations will be
realized, when the Railway is'opened from, London Bridge.
The Directors'have'niuch satisfaction in apprising the Share-
holders that since the commencement of this work, an Act of
Parliament has been obtained for making,' a Railway to Crey -
don, another to Dover, and another to the Deptford Pier, which
is now erecting for the purpose of landing Passengers from the
Steam-boats, while other 'Companies are already formed, and
intend to apply to Parlianient next Seision to enable them to
make Railways from Greenwich to , Woolwich, Deptford,
Cravesead, ROchester,, 'Cinterbury; Margate; Ramsgate, 'and
Deal, also to Brighton, "ttVer the Croydon' Railway,' all of which
must, be considered as ,likely to increase the revenue of this

Company.
