PROSPECTUS.
This undertaking is designed to supply the wants of an exten-
sive mineral and populous district, the local traffic of which alone
is admitted to be sufficient to support a railway, and amply re-
munerate the eharei &eters. The line will not only accomplish
so desirable an object, but it also possesses the advantage of Miming
a direct communication, by the shortest possible route (in connexion
with existing and projected railways), between two of the most
important divisions of the kingdom.
It is intended to commence by joining the Grand Junction
Railway at StafFord, and proceed by the Uttoxeter, Rochester,
d Ashbourne, to a junction with the Midland Railway, the Man-
chester, Buxton, Matlock, and Midland Railway, and the Amber-
gate, Nottingham, r, o,ton, and Eastern Junction Railway, at the
General Terminus at Amber-gate; a short branch from Wirks -
worth will connect the line with that town, and the important
limestone and mineral district connected with it. The line will
be about forty miles long, and by its connection with the Midland
Railway at Amber-gate, and the Derby and Crewe Railway at Ut-
toxeter; will be the nearest practicable route from Sheffield, York,
Leeds, Hull, the populous manufacturing districts of Yorkshire and
the north and north eastern part of England, to the salt districts of
Cheshire, the Potteries, Liverpool and North Wales, and by its
junction at Stafford with the Shropshire Union Railway, will be
the nearest route from those important districts to Shrewsbury and
South Wales, and by the Grand Junction Railway, to the densely
populated districts of South Staffordshire.
The district is destitute of water communication, and it is
only necessary to advert to a few of the prominent resources •f
the country to show the magnitude of the local traffic.
The price of coals on all parrs of the line is very high, being
carted a distance or 10 to 15 miles. The cost of this indispensable
artic'e of consumption will be reiuced nearly one-half, and this
line will immediately communicate with the Derbyshire and Staf.
fordshire coal-fields.
The line will pass several valuable quarries of Derbyshire marble
which is extensively used in all parts of the kingdom ; and also
numerous lead-smelting works and rolling mills, producing large
quantities of pig and sheet lead. It will afford an inexhaustible
supply of little for the highly cultivated land on the banks of the
Dove and Southward. It will open the Derbyshire mines to the
Copper and Zinc Smelting Works in the neighbourhood of Cheadle,
and will afford a direct communication with Sheffield for the articles
manu'actured at those works, which at present are carted to Derby,
a di Lance of more than twenty miles.
Already a large cattle traffic exists with the north, which will
unquestionably be greatly augmented by the facilities of this rail-
way, large importations of Scotch and Ycrkshire cattle will be
brought for fattening,on the luxuriant pastures of the Dove, tak-
ing in return to the markets of the manufacturing towns, the corn,
cheese, wool, and other produce of the extensive and fertile agri-
cultural district which surrounds the Staffordshire terminus of
this railway. It will bring the already large cheese and cattle fairs
of Uttoxeter and Ashbourne into greater importance.
The iron furnaces of Scuth &taflbrdshire consume annually nearly
a million tons of limestone. It is well known that the iron-
masters give a decided preference to the limestone of the south
Peak, eve, any other that has hitherto been tried;
the very
great fusibility of this stone rendering it
peculiar,ly suitable as a
flux for reducing the stubborn iron ores of South
Staffordshire, and
were it not for the dilatory and expensive Staffordshire,
of transit
it would now be used to the total exclusion of all ether
kinds. The proximity of this railway to the iron district, the fact
of its entering the limestone range at the most southern extremity,
and the advantage of excavating the stone immediately on the line
of rails, cannot but ensure to it a very large share of that enormous
traffic, if it do not engross the whole.
The visitors to Dovedale and the Peak are already very nu-
merous. When this line and the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock,
and Midland Junction Railway open this romantic scenery to the
indus rious artisans who chiefly compose the great hives of popu-
latir n with which this railway will communicate, and make it
easily accessible to this class of persons at a trifling sacrifice both
of time and money, the revenue from this source alone during
the summer months will be found to be of no inc.insiderable
amount.
The projectors feel convinced that this railway contains the ele-
ments of great prosperity, and that as an investment it offers more
than ordinary security.
The latdowners on the line are favourable to this undertaking.
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
Arrangements have been made with the Derby and Crewe Rail-
ice the line

The object of this company is to effect a direct communication,
toy railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also
between Tunbridge Wells arid Brighton.
The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunhridge Wells, and run near Irma, Wadhurst,
Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whatling
ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastings.
The Brighton line (about twenty- two miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton.
passing near May field, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Little Horstcd. and
Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is
nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton.
The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionatle
watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, si, el
thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with
each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have boa ii
supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively,
when the [imposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a
continued and direct railway to the metropolis.
The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly ie.,'
markable for the variety aed va'ue of its agricultural produce,
being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and not
inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when
it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it
may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the
profits arising from the conveyance of those productions filmic must
form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of
revenue to the shareholders.
Even from the already developed resources of the extensive,
wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines
will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly
entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company
(which has already been provisionally registered) shall have camel
into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to
Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng.
land, as it will then be the great Highway of continental tourists.
The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de_
eldedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a
glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show.
To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan-
tages must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing
them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the
great line of which it is the focus, connecting them with every
portion of the country. An immense increase in the number

can be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must con-i-
-dcrablY increase the value of the principal project.
To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be
derived frcm the Hastings line must be great. It will give hi-
creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts
through which it passes, and will complete the railway commute.

other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester,
Portsmouth, Southampton, and other important towns in the
western parts of the country.
The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be
materially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well
known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, and
cannot fail to secure to the shareholders a large interest on the
capital invested.
A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no
part of it has heed found to offer engineering difficulties of more
than ordinary character.
The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and, in the allotment of shares, a prefer-
ence will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and othet
parties locally interested.

Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent.
• •
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of
making alterations in the line or branches, and of adopting the
principle, if advisable. They are also determine,:
on giving strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the
acapital,andtgi°srihe c will thereby be enabled to guarantee lowe
can charges
ono
t
the conveyance of passengers and goods, and ther be
reasonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the fun
rate of la per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for brand.
lines, or a reduction of tolls.
The strong feelings in favour of a direct line, evinced on the
part of time public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood;
the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numer-
ous and strong assurances received in favour of an independent
Company, leave no doubt of the successful issue of an application
to Parliament for an Act next Session.
In order that every attention may be secured to local interests
arrangements are now being made to add the names of gentlemet ,
of influence and property in the counties of Kent and Sussex to
the Provisional Committee.
