Lamb, ESQ. PROSPECTUS. Tide line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock weod (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes of Brenchley, Ilorsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden, Ilawkhurst, 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 nitprovided 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 be necessary to interfere with any residences or ornamental property. The savaig of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced by this line, will be considerable. The capital requir&l is estimated not to exceed 500,0001. During the last session of Parliament application was made for a similar line, partially embracing 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 best direc tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Bye was o titled to a direct railway communication with the inte 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, sod as It embraces a more populous and productive country, and pastes 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 it 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, aro 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 no doubt If a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderate improvement in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particle. eularly as a national and commercial communication with France, and by 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 will 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 Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway Ihe communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be carried 4 brward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the line from Nottingham to Lincoln, fur which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Rarton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, In the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of A Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, 91 and from ZyotuochNanottid Alrewas, a Birmingham to Gainsborough, Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, ngham, and d. the intended extension to Ashbdy-Ddeu-diale ompanies will be enlisted in favour of The support of several c ' from Wolverhampton an ensureits success in t da h lri e de o c t tt h hl er towns already enumerate line of communication is already Parliament.

Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct corium- Mention between the Important seaport of Hall and Staffordshire, dthe 11 ' traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be c The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to an m Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to Hull, the'port at which the exports are shipped t o Ham burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares 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 Ls obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rats of four per cent, from the time of payment upon each call until the opening of the line. No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi cates, of 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 place 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 Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern counties. The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worcester, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by moans 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 than ing purposusues, al the expense of co nstruction will, it is expected, be less the average.

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 an 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 Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, 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 via than any other line of railway.importance necessary; the line across the ill the fonn, kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to g dis ?f ta a n n c y e of about twelve miles, is very ki c an ted at a small cost.

It is intended to 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, Bromles , Orpington, Chelsfleld, Shoreham, Otford, Kempsing Seal, Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Mailing, and Dit ton, from ,thence to Maidstone, 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, Balharn-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Morden, Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, where it will form a junction with the pro posed branch to Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham, from thence to Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways Junction, and proceed throbigh Cepa!, Reaper, Warnham, Horsham, Nuthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurst, Henfleld, 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 find, 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 paisenger 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 of 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, ' county gaol, cavalry depot, 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 branch 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 Worthing to London, independent of other commodities, and the agricultural 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 Steyning, 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 company to 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 Dawn, 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 number 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. lime promoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source 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; front this an immense income will ba 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 late 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 4/. per cent. on the paid up capital Rill 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 after the allotment, in order to construct branch lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South- Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the muchsdesfred object of giving that Company a City terminus.
