This Railway, commencing by a junction with the line of the Lon-
don 11nd prighton Railway at Brighton, and terminating at Saint
-Leonardo and Hastings, is projected as the most eligible Line that can
Le executed for connecting with London the fashionable watering-
?aces of Hastings, Saint Leonards, and Eastbourne, the market
'own of Hallsham, the county and assize. town of Lewes, and the
'kit agricultural districts of East Sussex, connecting all these places
'With each other, and with the important town of Brighton.
It is adapted to become a portion of an important national Line,
traversing the coast, and connecting the eastern and western ex-
tremities of Stissex. The Shoreham and Chichester Railway, for
Which an Act of Parliament is now being applied for, forming an-
other link of this important chain.
Between Brighton and Lewes, a length of i a miles, it is proposed to
snake a double. Line. Between Lewes and Hastings, 24 miles, a
,ingle Line only, with bridges and land for a double Line throughout.
Two several plans have at different tunics been proposed to connect
4iastings with London by Railway in a northern direction, by either
•- a„" which the distance is 81 or 82 miles ; at the same time involving
. the serious engineering obstacles necessarily interposed by the nature
of the country in that direction.
The distance by the proposed Line is 82 miles, and the country is
Peculiarly adapted to the construction of a Railway.
The details of the traffic have received the careffil scrutiny of the
uommittee, and also of the Directors of the London and Brighton
Itallway Company, and the estimates of the Engineers are of that
itntple character, that Contractors of the highest stability are prepared
(With responsible sureties) to complete the Railway, including all
.oiltingencies, and the maintenance for twelve months after the open-

,
alg of the Lhie, for a less sum than the amount of such estimates.
The Passenger traffic alone, with the small portion of the traffic In
toot's, which has been taken into consideration, after deducting 40
Per cent. for the cost of working the line, indicates a return of up-
Wards of 8 per cent. upon the proposed capital.
In order to place the undertaking upon a. basis of complete secu-
!!tY, its promoters have sought for and obtained the cordial co-opera-
non of the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway Company :
ut,td the Directors of that Company have agreed to guarantee 4 per
I,!tit• per annum to the Shareholders in this undertaking (subject to
the confirmation of their Proprietors at a Meeting to be held on the
'a of February next) upon the proposed capital, for a period of ten
,ears next after the opening of the line—together with a moiety of
the profits which may be realised over and above such 4 per cent.';
r 4 further, that in case, upon the completion of the proposed Rail-
, aY, its Proprietors should prefer testing the productiveness of the
ant c prior to granting the proposed lease, they should have the
won of so doing, and the Directors will undertake the carrying of
:
"401 traffic upon fair and reasonable terms, and be still pre-
tared to take the proposed lease for the then residue of such term of
' Lo Years from the opening of the line, at any time within live years
• 'Le!' the opening.
The
necessary notices have been given, plans and sections, &c.,
be been deposited, and every necessary preliminary required by
:,e Standing Orders duly prepared ; and it is intended to apply, in
the ensuing session of Parliament, for an Act to carry the works into
execution.
