In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line 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 B stain —Portsmouth and Ckatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini 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 fhlling into the Brighton Rail-
way the 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 its proximity to the Custom house, and the
several docks on the Thames, is acknowledged to be tke 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 Redhill 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,
Newdigate, Cupel, Oekiey, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Aliold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-greon, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kidford, I'etforth, Midhurst, Chulgrove, Stoughton
Racton, Westbourno, and Emsworth, at or near which last mentioned
pl ,ce this projectedli a will join the Chich ster and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to Join the main
no at or near Civet.

By this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected betwees
London and Port,mouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 43 miles of
railway to complete the coarse between the Redkill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

Total distance from London to Portsmouth..
From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance betweei 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
ilrom the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.

From an inspection of the map, It will be seen that the Redbill
station, near Reigate, lies needy in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing tha line of communication to
the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or sear the towns of Bletchingley, Godston. Limpeflehl,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, lghtham, Town Mailing, Wretharn, Of-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Woodham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will oaten 1 over 82 miles.
To •the naval and military establishments :of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, Sze. dm, diminishing
the tardy course of communicatioa which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them in that direct com-
munication with each other which, in two boars, or thereabouts,
will enable the journey between them to ho made.
The formation of of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraphio, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.
The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplate i profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts ever which this line and its branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.
