PROSPECTUS.
This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Stsyning, Petworth, Mid-
hurst, Petersneld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton,
Manchester and Oxford Junction.

An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company,
and it is provosed by means of their projected line, that the
Brighton and Cheltenham Railway shall proceed through Hunger-
ford to Swindon.

From Peterstield a short branch will be made to Chichester,
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, and the North of England
by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or
other existing and contemplated lines.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object
to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate
connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac-
turing counties; and North and South Wales, with the southern coast
and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover.

It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between
Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to
Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means
of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either
from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties
of England.

It is obvious that with these advantages the trallic must neces-
sarily be large, Ithe line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining a populatiGn of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of
railway accommodation.
Power will be applied for in the Act to increase the capital, if
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches
therefrom as may be deemed necessary ; also for the purposes of amal-
gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable.
The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or
narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable.
No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act
shall be obtained.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Solicitors, Secretary,
and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros;)ectuses, with maps
of the line, !nay be obtained:—London—Messrs. Peppercorns and
Co., 2, Old Broad-street; Messrs. Preece and Evans, 39, Lothbury.
