PROSPECTUS. - • - •

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are-
1. The formation of a direct line of railway between Hull and the
metropolis.
2. The supply of local traffic accommodation to the important
districts embraced by the line.
3. The benefit of railway communication with the metropolis ex-
tended to a district of country, west of Grantham, upwards of 50 mileo
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completes of the chain of railway communication between
Bristol, Gloucester, the river Severn, and the southern and western
counties, and the north-eastern districts of the kingdom and the river
Humber, and its ports, including that of Hull.
5. The connecting of the two important ports of Hull and South-
ampton by one continuous chain of railways.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, the Northampton, Banbury, and Chelten-
ham, and the other lines of railway proposed to converge at that
town from the west, from Worcester and from Warwick, the
line will proceed in a direct course to the market town of Kettering,
by which place all the companies competing for the line of railway
between London and Manchester propose to pass. It will then pro-
ceed, also, in a direct course by the market towns of Uppingham,
Oakham, and Grantham, to Lincoln.
- The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Gran-
tham is wholly -without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
datien, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the lino will proceed by the shortest and best practi-
' cable course to Hun.
The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated.
They are,—
Starting from Hull the line will appropriate to itself the whole of
the traffic thence to the Metropolis, Bristol, Southampton, Glouces-
ter, Oxford, Cheltenham, anti the whole of the Southei n and Western
districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it will secure the very im-
portant and increasing local traffic between Hull and Lincoln and
the intermediate towns.
In the event of the Caribridy.e and Lincoln Railway Company net
obtaining their Act of Parliament, then the traffic from the before-
mentioned places and Lincoln to the south and west, also to the me-
tropolis, will pass along this line of railway ; the former the whole
distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham, a distance of about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed thrther toKettering or Northampton.
The enth e district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakhatu
and Uppingham, is without railway or water-carriage accommoda-
tion, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over this line of
railway, which will be in the direct course not only to the west but
also to London.
At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the now com-
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester aid Leicester to
London which shall be successful before Parliament.
From the singularly important advantages which this undertaking
presents to the capitalist, as well as to the public at large, the Pro-
visional Directors do not think it necessary, with reference Ito the
supposed tratlle or otherwise, to say more than that they fully be-
lieve that the return will be, upon the capital required, highly re-
munerative.
The country is free trolls engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the very
favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line ; indeed,
for many miles it will run upon a water level.
The lice will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The promoters have made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Parlia-
ment in the ensuing session.
No call will be made, with the exception of the deposit, till the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament,
to allow interest at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum ou all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscriptions.
The landowners en the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to:ex-
tend the proposed line of railway to Great Srimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-

vlsable.
Prospectuses and Plans may be obtained on application to any of
the several Solicitors or Local Agents, the Secretary, or to the fol-
lowing Brokers, viz. : —Messrs. Peppercorns and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

A prospectus with the complete list of local provisional committee
will be issued in a few days.

The object of this railway is not only to afford accommodation to
the counties proposed to be traversed, but will also unite with the
Brighton and Cheltenham Direct Railway, the Metropolita❑ Rail-
ways Junction, the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge
Wells Railway, and the Coast Railway. The great importance of
this Union line of railway will be immediately seen upon reference to
the map. It is intended to commence at High-street, In the Borough,
passing through Camberwell, where it will divide and take the fol-
lowing course, viz.: The Kent branch will pass through the
thickly populated parishes of Peckham, Peckha►n Rye, Lewisham,
Bromley, Orpington, Chelafleld, Shoreham, Otford, Kempsing Seal,
Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Mailing, and bit-
ton, from thence to Maidstone, where it will form a junction with
the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Direct
Railway. The Surrey and Sussex branch will run through Brixton,
Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balham-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Morden,
Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, where it will form a junction with the pro-
posed branch to Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham, from thence to
Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways
Juaction, and proceed through Copal, Rusper, Wareham, Horsham,
Nuthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurat, Henfield, near Weston, aid on
to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighton and
Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramber, Coombes, Lanc-
ing, Sompting, Broadwater, and to Northing, where it will come in
Immediate contact with the Coast Rail way,
It Is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas-
senger traffic arising from the densely populated parishes contigu-
ous to the metropolis, hitherto unsupplied by railway, viz., Cans
benvell, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Brixton, Clapham, Tooting,
Mitcham, &c. &c., will give this line a decided advantage over all
other projects, and will alone secure a profitable return.
The general passenger traffic of the Kent Branch, (notwithstand-
ing its unquestionable extent) may be considered of secondary im-
portance to the immense transit of agricultural produce which this
county, justly termed " The Garden of England," daily sends to the
metropolitan markets, and particularly the locality of the Borough.
The importance of Maidstone as a terminus is obvious, it being.
situated on the River Medway, and containing courts of justiotv
connty gaol, cavalry depot, and many other public establishments,
the assises and sessions, and the business of the whole county being
conducted there. It is also, with the adjacent villages, the most
flourishing part of Kent. being surrounded by paper-mills, which are
more numerous and extensive in this neighbourhood than in any
ether part of the kingdom, besides several other extensive factories.
breweries, &c. .

The Surrey and Sussex branch besides (unquestionably creating
an immense increase of passenger traffic between the metropolis and
the flourishing and n•w celebrated watering-place, Worthing) must
necessarily command the entire transit of fish, of which many tons
are conveyed weekly from Worthing to London, independent of other
commodities, and the agricultural produce of these two fertile and
productive counties.
The proposed line will till up the railway chasm at present exiit-
__

fug between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham, and Steyning,
and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, one of the most
romantic, fashionable, and delightful watering places on the coast of
Sussex, and an Independent Railway will of necessity occasion a
great influx of company to this already justly celebrated place.
.The
superiority of Worthing as a bathing place stands unrivalled. The
views of the surrounding country arc both extensive and picturesque ;
its sands are particularly worthy of note, being as smooth as carpet,
and offerMg a healthy and delightful drive of ten miles. It is shel-
tered by an uninterrupted chain of the South Downs, which excludes
the wind even in the winter months. The salubrity of its climate Is
too well known to require further comment
But the greatest source of profit to the shareholders will arise from
the immense nqtnb,:r of passengers now proceeding by omnibus and
other conveyances to and from the metropolis, an 4 the extensive and
densely populated suburbs throuzh which th:s Mae is Intended to pass,
and it may be fairly calculated that not less than 30,000 will daily
avail themselves of the accommodation afforded to them by this
Company.

The p;omoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcingasource
of revenue from this pr,ject never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the construction under the line to Camberwell of
dwellings or tenements, forming one continued street, thereby im-
proving the locality through which it runs; from this an immense
income will be derived.
The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about

ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pksa is peculiarly
favourable ; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be constructed within the suns proposed.
It is Into ied to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-

ciple, both on account of the facility which that method affords for
stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly respectable
suburban population, to avoid the possibility of collision, and also
the b►inging of locomotive engines Into London.
Powers for allowance of interest at 4/. per cent. on the paid up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will also be applied for in the Act, and In the meantime
will be given to the directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital,
either before or after allotment, in order to construct branch

lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South-
Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired object
of giving that Company a City terminus.

Secretary, at the temporary offices of the Computy, Queen-street
Chambers, Cheapside, London ; or to the Solicitors, or the follow-

ing Brokers—Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; Mr.

This Company has been constituted in Parin by the active pro-
moters *l' the well-known Pecan's Company (for the Great Northern
and Southern line), for the purpose of tendering ibr the lease of the
projected railway from Paris to Lyons.
It is confidently expected that the adjudication of the line will be
made in November next, so that, even if the Company should not
succeed in obtaining the lease, the delay and loss of interest will
be trifling.
The short time, however, within which all the formalities must be
completed, renders it imperative that the subscription be closed in a
very few days ; therefore an early application must be made to en-
sure attention.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Solicitors, 31,
Moorgate-street, and 'must be made by filling up and sending the
following printed form, without detaching it from this prospectus.

In consequence of the great number of applications for altar
in this Company which are daily received from all arts of th
country, the Provisional Dire%ors feel it necessary to c.lll the atten-
tion o I the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strietAto adhere:—
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and liereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.
