REPORT.

" Gentlemen,
" At this, the First General Meeting of the Company, your
Directors have the pleasure of submitting to you a statement of
their proceedings since the passing of the Act incorporating the
Company, which received the Royal Assent on the 15th of July
last.
" The route of this line of Railway is so well known that it
may be hardly necessary to state that it commences at the foot of
London-bridge, adopts a part of the Greenwich arid Croydon Rail-
ways, proceeds from thence to the East of the town of Croydon,
passes by Merstham, Reigate, Horley, Balcombe, and Cucktield,
through Clayton and Patcham, and terminates at Church-street, in
the centre of the town of Brighton.
" In prosecuting the duties of their office, the first object of your
Directors was to afford all the facilities in their power to the sub-
scribers to the several Companies named in the Act of Parliament
to associate in the undertaking, and register their shares in the In-
corporated Company ; and your Directors are happy in being
enabled to state that the subscribers to the several Companies have
manifested their anxiety to avail themselves of the privilege of thus
becoming proprietors in this undertaking.
" The number of shares at present actually registered is 26,172,
and the number for which applications to register have been made,
and the proprietors of which will be registered on payment, before
the 28th instant, of their proportion of the expenses incurred pre-
vious to the 13th of June last, is 7,901, making a total of 34,072
out of the 36,000 shares, forming the capital of the Company.
" The next object of your Directors was to make the necessary
preparations for the commencement of the works of the Railway,
and they accordingly instructed their engineers to make out the
working surveys, levels, and estimates; and, for the satisfaction of
the proprietors as well as of themselves they obtained the assistance
of Mr. Locke, the eminent engineer, who personally examined every
part of the line, and investigated the estimates, and whose report,
as well as those of the Company's engineers, have been already corn-
enunieated to you.
" From these reports it appears
" That this line of Railway is the best that can be obtained be-
tween London and Brighton.
" That the works do not exceed those that have been successfully
accomplished on other Railroas!s.
" That the material through which it passes is very favourable for
the execution of the works.
" That the costs of executing the main line and branch to Shore-
ham, exclusive of the land, will not exceed 920,000/.
" That the Railroad may be opened to the public within three
years from the commencement of the works, and that contractors
would undertake its completion for that amount, and within
that time.

"To this sum of 920,000/. are to be added the land, buildings,
stations, and every contingency, amounting- to 200,0001., making a
total of 1,120,000/., necessary to complete the main line and branch
to Shoreham.

" Your Directors would now advert to the income to be derived
from the undertaking, which has been so fully investigated before
the Committees of both Houses of Pr.rliament. By the evidence
there given, it appears that if the traffic on the Railway be only
double what it now is, uliich is a low estimate, the gross income
will be 305,000/., from which must be deducted the annual expense,
amounting to 501. per cent., which will leave a net income of
152,5001 to be divided amongst the Proprietors ; but your Direc-
rors confidently believe that a Railway communication between
London and Brighton will much more than double the present
traffic; as has been proved to be the case with other Railroads, and
that the present undertaking will prove a profitable and safe invest-
ment for capital.
" It must also be remembered that the Brighton Railroad is diffe-
rently circumstanced from almost every other in the kingdom, as it
is principally a passenger line, which is well known to be the most
Profitable; and it is on these grounds that your Directors
have always been anxious that the termini should be where
they will afford the greatest accommodation to passengers; and
this has been effected by one terminus being at Church-street,
Brighton, near the centre of the town, and the other at the foot
of London-bridge.
" In consequence of the expenses incurred previous to the 13th
of June last having been borne by each of the then Companies, the
expenditure of this Company, since that period, has been small ;
and as your Directors have at present received no monies under the
authority of the Act, these expenses must be included in the next
half-yearly account.
" In closing this Report, your Directors are anxious to state that
considering the unparalleled investigation which this Railroad has
undergone, its recommendation by the Military Engineer ap-
pointed by Government, and its approval by Mr. Locke, sanc-
tioned by a registration rarely if ever equalled, either in numbers or
t'espectability, they cannot entertain a doubt but that the under•
taking must prove highly beneficial to the Proprietors, and advan-
tageous to the public at large.
" It now only remains for the Directors to congratulate the Pro-
prietors upon the present favourable position of the Company, and
they strongly recommend that the works should be carried on with
the utmost vigour and despatch. In going out of office, they
cannot but feel grateful for the confidence that has been placed in
_them, and beg to remind the Meeting that, pursuant to the Act of
varliament, 20 Directors are now to be appointed

R. E. SOLOMONS, OPTICIAN to the

&c., 36, OLD BOND-STREET (nearly opposite the western
Exchange), whose recently invented and highly approved SPEC-
TACLES may be adapted to the various circumstances of indivi-
dual cases appertaining to defective vision. Whilst these Specta-
cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro-
perty, and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad-
vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same
time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as
render vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool-
ness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional equally impor-
tant recommendation of being FREE from the pernicious attributes
of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec-
tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect-
ing and strengthening the eyes, and to extend to vision the most
decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish. Their
superior efficacy is attested by the following eminent professors, who
(among many others) have given them their unqualified approba-
tion :
