This railway is projected to form a direct communication between
Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by 'Lichfield
and Rothertield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable
neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Rent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete.

The following towns and populous villaies are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accomniedated
by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Hatfield
Marestield, Framfield, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withylaam, Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherflcld,
Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfield, Ashurst.

The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, ov_eiusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are ia
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and, no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile constrne-
tion, and easy gradients
The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which
they have pledged their support. . .

The usual po.;ver will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing
of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the
shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management
for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and
to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses
incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and
sections to be submitted to Parliament.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime Is hereby
given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad-
ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or
companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.
Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual
form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton ;
to W. B. James, Esq., London ; to W. P. Kell, Esq., Lewes ; to
Robert Foreman, Esq., Tonbridge Wells ; and to F. H. Nalder, Esq.,
