SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters arc
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting lino between the important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great military and
naval arsenals of Great Britain —Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two terrain' at
Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica-
tion with the coast branches of railways along the south of England,
connecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and Southampton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way th., advantage of two termini in London will be secured—the
one at the Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the
latter of which, from 113 proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be the best position
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed by this Company will
commence at or near the Rcdhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London •
bridge.

In Its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdlgate, Cupel, ,Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kidford, Petforth, Midhurst, Chu!grove, Stoughton
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last mentioned
place this projeetedli ,e will join the Chich ster and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

From Chllgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
