1 ONION AND PORTSMOUTH RAIL-
. • WAY DIRECT, with a BRANCH to CHICHESTER
and 'BOGNOR, proposed to terminate in CAPACIOUS DOCKS
at Portsmouth.

Capital £1,200,000 in 24,000 Shares of 60/. each.
Deposit, 2/. per share.
The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary
arrangements connected with the Branch advertised to Chichester,
and an active survey of the line is being prosecuted for carrying
into effect the original intention of this Company for constructing
the intended Railway between London and Portsmouth by the most
direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted ander the
conviction that any other or more circuitous line must only entail
,on the passengers and transit of goods between those places addi-
tional cost of conveyance, in proportion to the extra length adopted,
without any corresponding benefit being derived.
The reports from the Surveyors on the line continue to be of the
most favourable character, and it is well ascertained that neither
tunnel nor any formidable excavations will be necessary, and that
the Direct line, via Guildford, Godalming, &c., will to the great
advantage of the Shareholders and the Public, be most easily prac-
ticable.

The promoters of, and the Provisional Committee of Manage-
ment, of this undertaking, abstain from fully publishing the measure
until the final result of the surveys 'will enable them to lay the exact
route of the main line itself, and of the respective branches, in de-
tail, before the public, so that efficient means of investigation may
be afforded, whict can alone secure public support and the sanction
of the Legislature.

Any information regared may be obtained at the offices of the
Company, 7, John-street, Adelphi, where Applications for Shares
will be received (if by letter, post-paid) ; and also to the Cons-
pany's Agent at P ortsmouth, J. N. Robinson, Esq. ; or, at Port-
sea, to ArehibalA LOW, Esq., Solicitor.
