SECRETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.

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 itain —Portsmouth and Chatham.
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 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 llouse, 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 from London
bridge.

In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North
_lltapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Raoton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last-mentioned
place this projected li .e will join the Chichesterand Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Cape!.
By this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shortar than that by which any line hitherto projected betweet
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and pro,ltictive 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
Reigate) and Einsworth.
From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton
__ll*ro,k,Lit. to vu mute of MIS company is
From the paint near Ernsworth to Portsmouth by the
Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is ........ .. . 7 „

Total distance from London to Portsmouth •• • • 73 miles.
Front Chilgrovc a lino 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
6'2 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester.
In/tie-inch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a conununication 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 Ports-
mouth and:Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication be-
tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or nearlo the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightbant, Town Mailing, Wsotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.
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 extent over 82 miles.
To the naval and military establishments of this kingdom the
construction of this projected lino will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c., diminishing
the tardy course 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 thereabouts,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
and! Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by an
electric telegraphic, 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-
ferenee to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, anti is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.
