This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes of Branchley, Iforsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre sent unprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages of railway transit. The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to he necessary to interfere with any re , idences or ornamental property. The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line, will be considerable. The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar line, partially embraeing the same country, when it was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee, that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for work ing expenses, would leave a large per tentage upon the invested capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the beat direc tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the rt of Rye was e Allied to a direct railway communication with theirte rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre sent scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it embraces a more populous and productive country, and passes. in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic are considerably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably entertained by the Legislature. The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a railway communication, through a populous and productive district, in the direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail itself of the existing and contemplated lines. The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other manures, are of great importance to the country through which the line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop-poles, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage. The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest rout to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be do doubt If a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderato Improvemeat in the harbour, that It would be much adopted, particti cularly as a national and commercial conununication with France, and ba,,persons travelling on business.

It is proposed' by this Company to establish a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham; Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull, at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica tion NS ill be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Wbitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, pa ssing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long, Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The cationcommani being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will bo carried , orward fa as G atnsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborougir Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties C,ompany during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborom,f,t this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Ijollaud, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering e ,ol nPle.te and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham an.d Hun. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a D,lrect line from Birmingham to Nottingham. B irmingham to Gain s b orough, and from Birmingh am to Hull; Staf fordshire Junction polosnedtoSoth Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Airew as , a Rahway, and b t y he rd intended d o n f d th a e at p e r ns e direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and • the caber towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted in f avour of the !IPA, which, together w i th n. lts ow merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. As a considerable portion of the line of communication is ai midy made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of thi s aedmiv and great national undertaking will be materially shortene d d irect ce u Independently of the advantages to be derived by a nun . manufacturingi'lcatj between districtslh the Important f Warwickshire o of traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expect Hullnd Staffordsh i r e , anthe m issi ng The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, theport at which the exports are shipped to Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and Prom the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shires to landowners on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit until the Act• Is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per cent. from the time sr payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member ofthe Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract mast be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, cf which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports from the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a plate so ad vantageously situate cannot be over -estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland district. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to 3felton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. Tkere is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Felkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis co be un h ties ac . , Lynn, Yarmouth, an d other Important towns in the eastern The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, win cation mingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less thau the metal average. The admirable position of this railway can_ not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goads traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for coatplying with th e standing orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session.

A prospectus with the complete list of local provisional committee will be issued in a few days. The object of this railway is not only to afford accommodation to the counties proposed to be traversed, but will also unite with the Brighton and Cheltenham Direct Railway, the Metropolitan Rail weys Junction, the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Railway, and the Coast Railway. The great importance of this Union line of rainvity will be immediately seen upon reference to the map. It is Intended te commence at High-street, in the Borough, passing through Camberwell, where it will divide and take the fol lowing course, viz. : The Kent branch will pass through the thickly populated parishes of Peckham, Peckham Rye, Lewisham, Bromley, Orpington, Clielsfleld, Shoreham, Otford, Kempsing Seal, Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Malting, and Dit ton, from thence to 14Ialdstone, where it will form a junction with the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Direct Railway. The Surrey and Sussex branch will run through Brixton, Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balham-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Morden, Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, where it will form a junction with the pro posed branch to Leatherhead, Headley, Micklehain, from thence to Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways Junction, and proceed through Capal, Rusper, Wareham, Horsham, Nuthurst, West Grinstedd, Aahurst, Henfield, near Wiston, and on to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighton and Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramber, Coombes, Lanc ing. Sompting, Broadwater, and to Worthing, where it will come in immediate contact with the Coast Railway, It is satisfactory to ilnd, from strict calculations, that the pas senger traffic arising from the densely populated parishes contigu ous to the metropolis, hitherto unsupplied by railway, viz., Cam berwell, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Brixton, Clapham, Tooting, Mitcham, &c. &c., will give this line a decided advantage over all other projects, and will alone secure a profitable return. The general passenger traffic of the Kent Branch, (notwithstand ing its unquestionable extent) may be considered of secondary im portance to the immense transit of agricultural produce which this county, justly termed "The Garden sf England," daily sends to the metropolitan markets, and particularly the locality of the Borough. The importance-of Maidstone as a terminus is obvious, it being situated on the River Medway, and containing courts of justice, connty gaol, cavalry de - Pot, and many other public establishments; the assises and sessions, and the business of the whole county being conducted there. It is also, with the adjacent villages, the most flourishing part of Kent. being surrounded by paper-mills, which are more numerous and extensive in this neighbourhood than in any other part of the kingdom, besides several other extensive factories, breweries, &c.. The Surrey and Sussex brlnch besides (unquestionably creating an immense increase of passenger traffic between the metropolis and the flourishing and new celebrated watering-place, Worthing) must necessarily command the entire transit of fish, of which many tons are conveyed weekly from Werthing to London, independent of other commodities, and the'rtficultural produce of these two fertile and productive counties. - The proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at-present exist ing between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham, and Steynng, and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, one of the most. romantic, fashionable, and delightful watering places on the coast of Sussex, and an Independent Railway will of necessity occasion a great influx of companyto this already justly celebrated place. The superiority of Worthing as a bathing place stands unrivalled. The views of the surrounding country are both extensive and picturesque ; its sands are particularly worthy of note, being as smooth as carpet, and offering a healthy and delightful drive of ten miles. It is shel tered by an uninterrupted chain of the South Down, which excludes the wind even in.the winter 'months.' The salubrity of its climate is too well known to require further comment. But the greatest source of profit to the shareholders will arise from the immense numl);.r of passengers now proceeding by omnibus and other conveyances to and from the metropolis, and the extensive and densely populated suburbs through which this line Is intended to pass, and it may be fairly calculated that not less than 30,000 will daily avail themselves of the accommodation afforded to them by this Company. 'She promoters feel considerable - satisfaction In announcing asource of revenue from this project never yet contemplated by any other Company, viz., the construction under the - line - to. Camberwell of dwellings or tenements,-forming one continued street, thereby im proving the locality through which it runs ; from this an inunense income will be derived. The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly favourable; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli minary survey, they will be constructed within the sum proposed. It is into' ded to construct- this railway on the atmospheric prin ciple, both on account of the facility which that method affords for stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly respectable suburban population, to avoid the possibility of collision, and also the bringing of locomotive engines into London. Powers for allowance of interest at 41. per cent. on the paid up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions Power will also be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime will be given to the directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital, either before or aft:r the allotment, in order to construct branch lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South- Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired objeet of giving that Company a City terminus.

The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be completed, renders it imperative that the subscription be closed in a very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en sure attention.

' The first object of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham, Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route, and to supply as important link of communication between the town of Spalding and the eastern coast with the Western and Midland districts. Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Dolbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytharn, South Wytham, and Wymondham, to a point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton- Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid• land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and thence to Coventry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry, Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway. The projected line will form the most direct communication be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bur ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk, Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway. It will form, with other tistalected railway s , an almost direct line across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, to Aberystwith, via Newton and vis Norwich, on the e as Shrewsbury, on th e wes t . t, The entire length will not exceed thirty Miles. There is no tunnel ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very level, and may be constructed at a small cost. It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract of country at present destitute of this ac commodation, besides open ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of tbe means of transit. The central midland districts have felt greatly: the want of direct communication with the coast; and this line will at once supply the deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire. It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon supply from the north at high prices : it will also secure the advan tages of an unlimited supply of lime front the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincolh, Which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will oktain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agiicultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean. The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the necessary works and every subsequent expense ; and the incense derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, a n d Boston, tile trans port of cam, • cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay. The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now in active progress, and contracts have been entered into which en sure sufficient time for compliance with the standing orders. Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be had of the Solicitors ; also at the offices of the Company, 4, Tra falgar-square, Charing-cross, where applications for shares, accom panied by respectable references, may be addressed to the Prov. sional Committee. ...... £10,261,364 H.
