SECRETARY pro tern., Henry Codd, Esq

This Company is formed for the purpose of establish--
big a direct line of Railway communication, (and to be
called the Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern
Junction Railway,). from the populous and rapidly in-
creasing watering-place and port of Southend, through
Rochford to Chelmsford, and there crossing the Eastern
Counties Railway,,will proceed towards the north-west to•
Dunmow, and form a junction with the Northern and
Eastern Railway, at or near Saffron Walden, with
branches from Rochford to Burnham, from Maldon to or
near Great Beddow;: from Dunmow to Braintree and
Coggeshail, to join the Eastern Counties Railway; at or
near Fering or Mark's Tey, and. from .Dunmow
Bishop's Stortford, and the Northern and Eastern Coun-
ties Railway ; and thereby not only opening a communi-
cation with and connecting all the most populous market
towns of Essex, but_ by its second junction with the
Northern and Eastern Railway at Saffron Walden, pro-
viding the cheapest and most direct means of transit from
the manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural provinces
of the kingdom, to the River Thames, and.thereby avoid-
ing the present expensive and circuitous route through
the metropols.
The line will also give rise to an increased communi-
cation between Kent and Sussex,lsnd the Coal and Catqa
districts of the North ; in order to facilitate which, it is
the intention of the Company to run Steam-boats, M
conjunction with the trains, between Southend and Sheer-_
nese, (from which latter place more than one line or
railway has been prejected, in order to connect it with
the interior of those counties.)
The Company also propose to form at Saffron Walden,-
Braintree, Chelmsford, and Southend, depots for the
storage of Coals, which can be brought by railway direct
from the great coalfields of Staffordshire and Newcastle--
upon-Tyne, for the supply of Essex, Kent, and Sussex..
at a great reduction from the present price.
The proposed Line presents the following among its-
many advantages-
-Ist. It will communicate with the Thames, and there-•
fore advance our foreign trade.
2nd. It will be free from tunnels, and the embank-
ments and cuttings few and inexpensive.
3rd. The produce (particularly coals and cattle),9l
the Midland, North, and North-Eastern Countiess.ww'
be rapidly and cheaply conveyed throughout Essex*
Kent, and. Sussex, and vice versa.
4th. The intercourse and traffic between Essex and
the rest of England, and vice vend, will be greatly aug-
mented ;• and the communication between Kent and Sus-
sex, through Essex, to the northern provinces, and
vice verse, will be also much facilitated and increased-
Lastly. The proposed Lines from the Metropolis to
Southend will be greatly advantageous to the latter
place, and therefore equally so to the line now propo!ed.
The Act of Parliament will provide that the liabilitY
of the Shareholders shall not extend beyond the amount
of their respective Shares, and £4 per cent. will be
allowed on all calls paid up, until the Act is obtained.
The- Committee will, in the allotment of the s hares, give
a preference to parties locally i nterested.
