The object of the projected line is to form a railway commu-
nication between Brighton and Chichester, commencing by a
junction] with the present branch line of the London and Brighton
Railway at Shoreham, and terminating at Chichester, by which
means the facility of a railway communication with London
will be afforded to the inhabitants of Chichester and Arundel,
and the watering- places of Bognor, Littlehampton, and
Worthing ; and when the projected Railway to Hastings is
made, will open a railway communication extending nearly
70 miles along the coast of Sussex, and connecting the eastern
and western divisions of that county.
The distance between Shoreham and Chichester is 23 miles,
over a country so level that the rails will be laid nearly upon
the present surface of the ground, and, consequently, when
completed, the road will be maintained at an unusually mode-
rate expense. The land through which the line is to pass is
gricultural, and there are no buildings, except a few cottages,
the taken.

The estimated expense of the land, earthwork, bridges, and
masonry for a double line, and a single line of road laid, with
stations, and necessary conveniences to make it complete, is
300,0001. From the very easy description of the work, the
line may be opened to the public in twelve months from the
commencement of it ; and the gradients being favourable, it
will be worked at a cheap rate.
There are responsible parties willing to contract tor the exe-
cution. of the whole of the weeks, including all contingencies,
within the estimate, taking 40,000/. in shares as part payment.
The necessary notices have been given, the plans and sec-
tions have been deposited, and it is intended to apply in the
ensuing session of Parliament for an Act to carry the works
into execution.
The existing traffic has been carefully investigated, and cal-
culations have been made on it in the usual way, whereby it has
been ascertained that the proposed line will yield a revenue,
chiefly from passenger traffic, of upwards of 40,000/. a year,
which, after deducting the expense of working at 40 per cent.
upon the receipt, will leave a balance of 24,0001., being 81. per
cent. per annum upon the capital.
The Plans, Sections, Estimates, and statement of traffic having
been submitted to the Directors of the London and Brighton
Railway Company, they have agreed (subject to the confirmation
of their Proprietors at their general meeting on the 7th of
February next), to lease the line for ten years from its
completion, at a rent of 12,0001. per annum, being
4/. per cent. upon the estimate, dividing the net profits
equally between themselves and the Proprietors of the pro-
jected Railway ; or, it the Proprietors of the projected line
should prefer to keep the line in their own hands, the Brighton
Company will find the working power on terms to be agreed on,
Applications for Shares to be made on or before Tuesday, the
6th day of February next, in the following form, addressed to
the Secretary of the Brighton and Chiehester Railway Com-
pany, at the London and Brighton Railway Office, London
Terminus, London-bridge. Those who have made applica-
tions for Shares to the solicitor need not repeat them, as the
letters already received will be laid before the Provisional
Directors.
" I request you will allot to me Shares in the
Brighton and Chichester Railway Company, and I agree to
accept such Shares as may be allotted to me, and to pay the de-
posit upon the same, and execute the Parliamentary Contract
and Subscribers' Agreement, when required 30 to do.

" In noticing the first Part of this work, we spoke of the
extraordinary labour and diligence which had been bestowed
upon it, and its consequent value as an accurate history of the
untitled aristocracy of England. It is, indeed, a remarkable
monument of industry and research, and contains a mass of
curious heraldic and genealogical information, that. can be
found no where else. We have had an opportunity of testing
its extreme correctness."—John• Bull. _ _ _
