This Railway, only 10 miles in length, commences at the 17th
mile of the London and Brighton Railway, in the parish of Harley,
and runs through Charlwood, Crawley, Ifield, Beeding, and Rue-
per, and terminates in the town of Horsham. _ _

The nature of the country through which the Railway passes is
agricultural, the land not of a very valuable description ; and though
it terminates in the centre of the town of Horsham, it destroys but
few buildings.
The gradients are favourable, the steepest being I in 330 feet, or
16 feet in a mile. The works are light, the deepest cutting not
exceeding 24 feet, the heaviest embankment not exceeding 30 feet,
and these only occur in one place. The works upon the remainder
of the line arc easy, several miles running upon the surface of the
ground.
The agricultural importance of the town of Horsham is well
known, and such as fully to entitle it to the conveniences and advan-
tages of a Railway communication with the metropolis ; and, al-
though it is not intended to carry this Railway beyond the town of
Horsham, yet it will ensure the traffic of the surrounding country.
This traffic was fully investigated before the Parliamentary Com-
mittee on the rejected Brighton Line, by way of Horsham, and the
result fully proved the pecuniary advantages to be derived from a
proper Line of Railway to Horsham; and, when it is remembered
that the present project accomplishes, by a Railway of 10 miles, all
that could have been obtained for Horsham and West Sussex by a
Railway of 30 miles, the public cannot fail to be convinced that an
ample return will be derived from the capital expended in this
undertaking.
In submitting this Railway to the public, the Provisional Com-
mittee call the particular attenticn of the proprietors of the Brighton
Line to the vast increase of traffic 'which will thus be brought upon
their Railway, which must be conducive to the interests of that
Company, and render this undertaking one deserving of their cor-
dial support.
The requisite Parliamentary notices hays been given," end- the
plans deposited, for an application to Parliament in the ensuing
Session.

The Provisional Committee hare stated the Capital to be
200,000/. ; but this considerably exceeds the estimated costs.
They have adopted this course to meet any contingency that
might arise, feeling. fully satisfied that a traffic can be shown to
justify a much greater outlay. The Deposit of 31. per Share is
required, in consequence of the new Standing Orders of Par-
liament.

Applications for Shares to be made by letter (post paid), to
the Solicitors (of whom Prospectuses may be had), in the sub-
joined form.

EYESIGHT and DEFECTIVE HEARING.
The success of Mr. ELIA SOLONIONS' PATENT
SPECTACLES, and a similarity of names favouring the decep-
tion, has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention, profess-
ing to relieve simultaneously vision and' deafness, common glasses
of many years' standing, ground on the principle of the periscopic
lens (the meniscus employed for Spectacles 40 years ago), and which
are highly injurious to the sigh!. These quack and absurd misre-
presentations, unsupported by weight or authority, might have
been safely allowed to pass unnoticed before the eyes if a discern-
ing public; but as the names of some medical gentlemen are used,
it behoves one to inqure by what means, or on what grounds, their
signatures have been obtained (if obtained at all) as sanctioning a
direct untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle
Lenses," which are unanswerably nothing more than common
glasses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above esta-
blishment, at Is. 6d. per pair.
Mr. E's. VOICE CONDUCTORS for DEAF PERSONS
have been eminently successful in the most extreme cases of slefec-
tire hearing; are worn unperceived, being constructed on asmaller
scale than any hitherto offered, measuring only one quarter of an
inch in diameter ; possess the peculiar power of conveying the
slightest sound with accurate distinctneus, affording at the same time
the greatest ease and assistance in all cases of Deafness.

TESTIMONIALS on the PATENT SPECTALES of Mr.
ELIA SOLOMONS, 36, Old Bond-street, nearly opposite
the Western Exchange.
From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President of the Royal Col-
lege of Surgeons, an Senior Surgeon to the Westminster
Hospital, &e.
. _ _

Mr. Elia Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford
additional aids to ijnperfect vision, and because of their superior
refracting towers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to
afford new resources for the construction of Spectacles.
ANTHONY CARLISLE, F.R.S., Langham-place.
From Dr. J. Johnson, Physician Extraordinary to the late
King, !cc. _ .

I hays been using and am still using Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber
Spectacles, ind find them more pleasant to the Eye than any other
glasses which I have tried.
JAMES JOHNSON, M.D., 8, Suffolk-place.
prom Bransby Cooper, Esq., F.R.S., Surgeon to Guy's Hos-
pital, &c.
From the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing
it with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying
that, to my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less
trying to the Eye.
BRANSBY B. COOPER, 2, New-street, Spring-gardens.

I am much pleased with Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber Lenses, and
a Gentleman who made trial of them for several days, says that
they relieve the Ey* much more than any Glasses he has before
used.

MARTIN WARE, New Bridge-street.

I have examined the Amber Spectacles made by Mr. Elia Solo-
mon', and I am of opinion that they are calculated to answer every
purpose for which they are intended—that they soften the light to
veak and irritable Eyes, and are likely to be useful to persons
whose sight is thus affected—being preferable to Glass or Pebbles.
J. COPLAND, M.D., F.R. S., Bulstrode-st., Manchester-sq.
From an examination of the Amber Lenses, I have every reason
to eoncludo that they possess many and decided advantages over the
ordinary Glass Spootarles.
