PROSPECTUS.

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking arc
1. tr he 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 miles
in length at present unprovided with that accommodation.
4. The completion 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-
dation, not only to the south, but also to the north.
From Lincoln the line will proceed by the shortest and beat practi-
cable course to Hull.
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, and the whole of the Southern 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 Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining the,r 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 or about
twenty-five miles ; and should the London and York Company not
succeed, such traffic will proceed further toKettering or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance of
more than forty miles, and including the market towns of Oakham
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 and 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 it° the
supposed traffic 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 from engineering difficulties, with one or two
exceptions only, and those are snore 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 hare made every necessary arrangement for the
active prosecution of the undertaking, and for applying to Partin-
went in the ensuing session.
Yo 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 41. per cent. per annum on all calls from
the date of their payment, and to limit the liability of each share-
holder to the amount of his subscription.
The landowners on the litre 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 Grimsby or elsewhere,
and to increase the amount of capital, as may be necessary or ad-
visable.
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. Peppercorne and Co., 2, Old Broad-
street ; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury ; or Messrs.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the
rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufacturing town of the west
of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this
rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Bamp-
ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest
route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by
Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
kead Railway, to which it will serve as an Important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land'► End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels. •

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and firm
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-en-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergk,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by the most practicable line to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, which
.has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from •
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line is rich in mineral productions—coal,
slate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termiai is effected over any existing er pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of the
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate
of four per cent, on the calls from the passing of the Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the following brokers:—

A pro.spectas 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 Metropolitan 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 tke
thickly populated parishes of Peckham, Peckham Rye, Lewisham,
Broml*, Orpington, Chelsfleld, Shoreham, Otford, Kcmpsing Seal,
Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Mailing, and Dit-
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, Norden,
Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, where it will forts a junction with the pro-
posed branch to Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham, from thence to
forking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan Railways
Junction, and proceed through Capal, Rusper, Warnhani, Horsham,
Nuthurst, West Grinstead, Ashurst, Henfleld, near Weston, and on
to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighton and
Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramber, Coombes, Lane-
log, Sompting, Broadwater, and to Worthing, where it will come In
immediate contact with the Coast Railway,
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., Cain
berwell, 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 justice,
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
other 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 new celebsated 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 fill up the railway chasm at present exist-
ing between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsham, and Steyn'ng,
and will afford direct batercourse 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 are both extensive and picturesque ;
its sands are particularly worthy of note, being as smooth as carpet,
and offering 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 18
too well known to require further comment.

But the greatest source of profit to the shareholders will arise from
the immense number of passengers now proceeding by omnibus and
other conveyances to and from the metropolis, an 4 the extensive and
densely populated suburbs through which tle.s line is intended to pass,
and it may be fairly calculated that not less than 30,000 will daily
avail themselves of the acconnnodation afforded to them by this
Company. _ _ _

The promoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source
of revenue from this prAect 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 ha derived.

The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell will be about
ninety miles, and is free from en;: Bering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly
favourable ; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be constructed within the sum proposed.
It is lute ded 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 bringing of locomotive engines Into London.

Powers for allowance of interest at 41. 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.

This Company has been constituted in Faris by the active pro-
moters of the well-known Decan's Company (for the Great Northern
and Southern line), for the purpose el tendering fur 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 au early application must be made to en-
sure attention.
Applications for shares are to be addressed to the Spoliators, 31,
3foorgate•street, and must be made by filling up and sending the
following printed form, without detaching it from this prospectus.
