Lamb, Esq. PROSPECTUS. This line will pass in a direct coarse from Tunbridge, via Paddock wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes of Brenchley, Ilorsmonden, 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 wfth, 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 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 500,000/. 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, afterdeducting 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 dired tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was estitled 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, 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 lilies, 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 I ondon, 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 batter mode of transit will much increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im provement ill the cultivation of time adjacent country. A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king dom, also producing corn, timber, amid hop-poles, and communicating at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district oi Romney Marsh, most tee a public advantage. The port of Rye is admitted to he the best outlet and quickest rout to Paris Anti 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, particit clearly 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 hhfcarrieeradaeoilnlatruttininaiagiciaistafboiamornr Gainsborough n iar g ß:a t sli hts afi p u; e 2; : ohv f r e h, c le : yiht t ia o :l N nri noAbetyetsitpnchgwiehlas,mi proposed it will N o b t o . obtained t out ai n cod- the b by line the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the- Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire th e c h a i n of communication between Birmingham and Hull. By this project the advantages will result to the public of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborough, and front Birmingham to Hull; and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Rail and the intended extension to Ashby - de -l a - Zouch and Alrevras, a direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and the other towns already enumerated.

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 Folkingliam, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Wis beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other Important towns in the eastern counties. i n,ijuakl wanting from tig t 3 o l c e o lto in n pl 3 e f t r , The Leicest er , M e l ton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail ' s w n a p 3 p . y by t n o n n 3 g a lr y ec th t trn ? o lk ug h h 'gh co a m un mu ' will l.- cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, 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.

Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham, Lynn, and Holneach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn, Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham, and Wymondliam 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. y of Leicester, via Bur- The projected line will form the most direct communication ets of Lincoln, Norfolk, on the west. be tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by , an almost direct line Norwich, on the east, to Bur ton-upon-Trent, n e u n means o o n f - the re proposed nt,tost a lines fior across•bring tits te e n o l u a i ar i k t Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles than any other line of railway- Aa across rsy w s s i tt l hs l ye f i otkr,n via Newton with roltoohnme otherYarmouth, jettedhro Shrewsbury, hs u a vr i iy n a : The entire length will not exceed thirty nines.

The central midland districts have felt greatly; the want of direct communication wiih 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 ces.ayshire 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 from the Leicestershire works, to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis tricts will (Main the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.

This Company has been constituted in Paris by the active pro moters of the well-known Decan's Company (for the Great Northern and Southern line). for the purpose of tendering for the lease of the projected railway from Paris to Lyons. It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be made in November mxt, so that, even if the Com , any should not succeed in obtaining the lease, the delay and loss of interest will be trifling. 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 api:lication must be made to en sure attention.

A prospectus with the c,ompltte liet 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 ways Junction, the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Railway, and the Coa s t Railway. The great importance of this Union line of railway will be immediately seen upon reference to the map. 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, Bromley, Orpington, Chelsfieli, Shoreham, Otford, Kenfpsing 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 ran through Brixton, Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balham-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Mordcn, 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 Ra*lways Junction, and proceed through Copal, Rusper, Wareham, Horsham, Nuthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurst, Hentield, near Weston, 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 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 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 now 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, anti. Steyn ng, and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, one of the mo,t romantic, fashionable, and delightful watering places on the coast of Sussex, and an Inch-pendent 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 an• bath extensive and picturesque ; its san•is 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 numb..r of passengers now proceeding by onanibm, and odor conveyances to and from the metropolis, amt the extensive and densely populated suburbs thrnueh whlc th's 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. The promoters feel considerable satisfaction In announcing asource of revenue from this pr ;feet never yet contemplated by any other Company, v:z., the construction under the line to Camberwell of dwellings or tenements, forming one continued street, thereby im proving the locality through wllich it runs ; from this an immense 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 inte 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 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 much-desired objeet of giving that Company a City terminus.
