IThis Railway, only 10 miles in length, commences at the 17th
mile of the London and Brighton Railway, in the parish of Horley,
and runs through Charlwood, Crawley, Held, Beeding, and Rus-
per, and terminates in the town of Horsham.
The nature of the country through which the Railway passes is
agricultural, the land net 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 1 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 are 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 tho
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 he 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 attention of the preprietors of the Brighton
Line to the vast increase of traffic which will thus be brought upon
?heir 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 have been given, and the
plans deposited, for an application to Parliament is the ensuing
Session.
The Provisional Committee have stated the Capital to be
200,0001. ; 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 3/. 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.
