The proposed railway is intended to commence on the Trent
"alley Railway near Stafford, and proceeding thence in an easterly
Erection, to pass through, or near to, Tixall, Haywood, Cobvich, and
Abbott's Bromley, to the rapidly-increasing town of Burton-upon-
Trent, where ii will run into the Birmingham and Derby Railway,
forming the shortest and best practicable route from Stafford to
Derby. Leaving the Birmingham and Derby Railway at Burton-
upon-Trent, it will proceed along the valley of the Trent by Repton,
Swarkestone, and Shardlow, to the Midland Counties Railway at the
point where that railway forms ajunetion with the Derby and Not-
tingham Railway ; and thus, by means of these and other railways
in progress, forum a complete line of railway communication between
the central towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lincoln, Leices-
ter, Peterborough, and Boston, on the east, and Shrewsbury, Ches-
ter, and Holyhead, North Wales, and Ireland, on the west.
This railway will, therefore, form the only connecting link re-
quired in the great chain of railway communication from east and
west through the heart of- the kingdom, uniting the shores of the
German Ocean on the east with those of the Irish Sca on the west, and
traversing in its course the rich agricultural districts of the eastern,
midland, and western counties, and accommodating the important, and
populous manufacturing towns of Stafford, Derby, Nottingham, Lei-
cester, and Shrewsbury. But another most important advantage
that will result from the formation of this line will consist in the
fact of its affording, in connexion with the proposed South Union, or
Manchester and PotterieS Railway, by far the shortest and best
route betweeniDerbY, Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, Peterborough,
Leicester, and Loughborough, and the extensive and populous dis-
tricts of the Staffordshire POIICTICS, Macclesfield, Stockport, and
Manchester. By the proposed line the distance between Nottingham
and Derby and Manchester will be at least from 15 to 20 miles less
than by the present circuitous route by Sheffield.
The traffic on this line must necessarily be equal, if not superior,
to that of any line in the district.
Ths length of the line will be about 33 miles, through a country
piaasenting no difficulties of mere than an ordinary kind for its eon-
struci::aL •. . --
The capital proposed to be raised is 600,0001., in shares of 201.
each, upon wff:'cli a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share must be paid upon the
allotment. No
it will be made until the Act is obtained, and no
subscriber will be t:eyond the amount of his deposit until the
Act is obtained, and then beyond the amount of his subscription ;
and the usual power will be tii.'`‘.ll to allow interest at four per cent.
from the time 'of payment npon ,asiteh call until the opening of the
line. •
The Subscribers' Agreement and the 17:ellamentary Contract must
be executed when the hankers' receipts are ~.4"-cluiliged for scrip cer-
tificates, 'of which 14' days' notice will be ; and the deposits
paid by any party making default in the execution 074. those deeds will
be forfeited

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 townE! of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great naval and
military arsenals of Great Britain—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester aid Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of. communica•
tlon 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 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 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 Redhill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles front London-
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewliurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Rillinghuret, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Mitlhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last .tnentioned
place this projected line will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
owners, branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters-
eeld. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel; rind the branch from
Petersileld will join the main line at a point between Dlidhurst and
!lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these branches will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
Itv 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 betweei
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 45 miles of
railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near
R.,2.!gate) and Emsworth. - -

Total distance from London t• P0rt5m0uth.......... 73 miles

From Chilgrove 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.

Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chllgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway t• Dover kranches •ff
from 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 Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Parts-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ighthant, Town Mailing, Wrotham, 011-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.

Tile distance bet Ween Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extent 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, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy bourse of communication 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 hours, or thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of rail way between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
1 electric telegraph, 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 contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect

In consequence of the great number of applications for shares
in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion of the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictly to adhere :
" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and :Huntingdon, and Lynn and Denham 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 thereCoi-e can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the-highest respectability.
By order,
L. F. ED-WARDS, Secretary pro tern.
