The Directors, in making their first Call on the Proprietors, feel
it incumbent ol them to state, that the course which they purpose
to adopt, is so to arrange the prosecution of the Works, as to en
sure the earliest possible return of Income to the Proprietors, and
such will, not only in the present, but on all future, occasions, be
the principle on which their proceedings will be founded.
They cannot forbear to observe, that independent of the main
line to Dover, the necessary steps have been taken for applications to
Parliament, in the ensuing session, for Lines of Railway in connec-
tion with the South Eastern, to Brighton, Lewes, and Newhaven,
to Maidstone, to Canterbury, Sandwich, and Ramsgate; and a fur-
ther extension is contemplated to Rye and Hastings.

An Act for the South-Eastern Dover line having been obtained,
the present Company is formed for the purpose of carrying through
the Brighton line, with the advantage of haring upwards of 20
miles already sanctioned by Parliament—one of the principal ob-
jects of the Legislature being to encourage, as much as possible, a
junction of Railways where practicable, and thereby prevent unne-
cessary intersection of the country.
The distance front London to Brighton by this line will be under
50 miles. Its course is direct and nearly straight, and will not
prejudicially affect any ornamental property, and the gradients will
in no case exceed 20 feet per mile.
The line will leave the South-Eastern Railway near Godstone,
and will be the most direct and perfect line to Brighton, as will be
seen by an inspection of the map.
The advantage of uniting such important places as Brighton and
Dover with the Metropolis by one line common to both for so con-
siderable a portion of the whole distance, is too obvious to require
comment.
The terminus at Brighton will be at the south 'end of the Carlton'
or Richmond-hill, near the upper end of Dorset-gardens, a point
the most central and convenient possible to, the inhabitants, being
equally distant from Brunswick-square on the one side, and Kemp
Town on the other, and very near the Steyne, and about 500 yards
from the Marine Parade.
From a point near Falmer, branches will proceed to Lewes and
Newhaven, to which latter place the attention of Government and
the Public has long been directed as the only good harbour for large
vessels between Portsmouth and the Downs ; it is, therefore, con-
sidered that Newhaven is a point of the utmost importance in deter-
mining the direction of a line of railway to Brighton, and, by
branching off in the manner proposed, not only is a good communi-
cation with the main line to London afforded, but the most direct
line of railway communication from Brighton to Lewes and New-
haven respectively is secured.
A natural level, for a considerable distance, admits of an easy
extension of the line from Lewes to Eastbourne, St. Leonata's, and
Hastings.
The present Company being formed for the purpose of carrying
out the original project of the South Eastern Railway. Company, by
the extension of the Brighton portion of their line, power is reserved
to unite the present with the South Eastern Railway Company, if
such union should be considered desirable by a General Meeting of
the Shareholders of the two Companies.
It is not considered necessary to lay before the public a detailed
account of the, traffic to Brighton. Its magnitude was so fully
proved and admitted before the Committees of both Houses of
Pailiament last Session, that a renewal of the subject is totally un-
called for.
The Prospectus and further information may be obtained, on ap-
plication at the South Eastern Railway Office, 10, Coleman-street.
