TH'E DORKING-, BRIGHTON, and
ARUNDEL ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY, by HORSHAM
and SHOREHAM.
(Provisionally registered pursuant to the Act, 7 and 8 Vic., cap. 110.)
Capital, 1,000,0001., in 50,000 Shares, of 201. each.
Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
Arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company to
make an Atmospheric Railway from Dorking (or Epsom) to
Brighton, through Horsham and Shoreham, and from Horsham to
Arundel, thereby affording (either by means of a junction with the
Direct Lond,,n and Portsmouth Atmospheric Railway, at Dorking, or
the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, at Epson)) to the intermediate very
populous and wealthy district the important advantages of a direct
communication with the metropolis, and also w.th the coast, from
which It is at present excluded, as well as forming the best connect-
ing link between that district and the ports of Shoreham, Arundel,
Portsmouth, and Southampton, and the principal towns of Surrey,
Sussex, Kent, and Hants.
A detailed prospectus, with the names of the Provisional Com-
mittee, will be shortly published ; and in the meantime communica-
tions may be addressed to Messrs. Campbell and Witty, 21, Essex-
street, Strand; Messrs. Attree, Clarke, and MacWhinuie, and Messrs.
Upperton, Verrali, and Veysey, Brighton ; Messrs. Coppard and
Rawlison, Horsham ; Messrs. Everest and Wardroper, Epsom ; and
Richard Holmes, Esq., Arundel.

This line will commence at or near the Wigston station of the Mid-
land Counties Railway, at such point as may best suit the successful
line from London through South Leicestershire, and will pass by or
near the manufacturing localities of Narborough, Sapcote, Earl
Shilton, Burbage, and
_Hinckley, through a district most favourable
for engineering purposes, to a junction with the Trent Valley at Nun-
eaton, thence it continues nearly due west to the Whitacre station of
the Birmingham and Derby Railway, and south-west by Bedworth
to the Coventry station of the London and Birmingham Company.
The line will communicate with the Swanaington Railway either by
means of the proposed Broughton Astley branch of the Midlands, or
of a separate branch to be formed by this Company ; thereby opening
the entire of the Leicestershire coal-field to the counties south-east
of Leicester.

The Directors, for the last few months, having used their best
exertions for the interests of the Company, feel it their duty, now
that the surveys, plans, and other arrangements are so far advanced,
to acquaint their shareholders with the position and prospects of the
undertaking.
The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton line, which received the
favourable report of the Board of Trade, and was before Parliament
last session, forms part of the present projected plan for connecting
Leicester, Coventry, and Birmingham.
The Directors have, by personal inspection, accompanied by their
engineer, satisfied themselves of the remarkable facilities presented
by the district for executing the greater part of the line ; and from
careful investigation the Directors have the pleasure of informing the
shareholders that this undertaking eannot fail to prove a profitable
investment if supported by local traffic only, and with the certainty
that a through traffic from the eastern and western lines, combined
with the great advantages afforded by the junction with the Trent
Valley for the tnnsit of goods to and from Liverpool, Scotland, Ire-
land, and the United States, its importance cannot be over estimated.
From the extent of population accommodated by this railway
—from the convenience afforded to the trade and manufactures of
the Midland Counties—from the vast mineral resources of the dis-
tricts traversed, and from its position in regard to other important,
established, and projected railways, the Directors feel confident that
it will be amply remunerative to the Shareholder, and highly advan-
tageous to the public.
The capital has been subscribed, and the Parliamentary deeds have
been executed, and the preliminary survey completed.
A list of a new and highly influential local direction, and a map of
the line, will be published in a few days.

REVELATIONS OF SPAIN IN 1845. By T. M.
Huc Hes, Esq.—A second edition of this interesting work has
just appeared, revised by the author, and containing an accu-
rate analysis of the reform in the constitution just promulgated,
and bringing the history down to the present moment. In the
notice of this book in Blackwood's Magazine, it is observed,
—" This is the work of a man who has evidently passed a con-
siderable time in the Peninsula, and after becoming well
acquainted with the language and habits of the people, has
studied the peculiarities of their manners, feelings, and institu•
tions with a keen and observant eye. Amidst the various
parties and factions, the strange contradictions of the national
character, the interminable web of intrigue and political
manceuvre, how arduous the task to unravel the truth, to throw
a clear light upon the state and prospects of Spain, and explain
the complicated and hidden machinery by which many of the
recent events in that country have been brought about. The
task has been attempted in this work, and by no means without
success. It is a book of much interest and utility—a book
which from its liveliness and the amount of anecdote and light
matter it contains, will be read by many who would shrink
from the perusal of a mere dry statistical work."
"Maim KNIGHTS ESTATE.—We are exceedingly
glad to find that active measures for the improvement of this
beautiful property are in operation. It is proposed, as will be seen
by advert isement, to form a company, and thus at once raise such
an amount of capital as will suffice to render the estate perfect
by drainage, new roads, &c., so that buildings of a high class
may instantly be commenced with every inducement that natu-
ral advantages and scientific improvements can offer. We hear
that some influential capitalists have already subscribed for a
large proportion, and there are strong reasons for believing
that the remainder will find eager and respectable applicants.
It cannot be doubted that this town is deeply interested in the
success of the plan. The formation of an additional suburb, to
be inhabited only by persons of adequate means and station,
must cause a large amount of money to be expended in the
town, besides conferring an additional attraction to visitors
from a distance. Nor will the expenditure necessary for the
erection of a series of villas, cottages, &c., be unattended with
some benefit to the trade of Reading, both directly and indi-
rectly. To persons desirous of building a " home "in some
spot where the advantages of both town and country may be
combined, we may in the words of sober truth challenge a com-
parison of White Knights with any other spot within fifty, of
even a hundred miles of London. That houses, if built there,
would let with unexampled rapidity, no one can for a moment
doubt; in fact nothing is wanted but a vigorous and harm"nions
effort, by which all the aarms of this deligt tful and unique
property may be fairly developed. And when they are, as
they will be, by the resources of a company, the public will
only wonder how it is that that which might have been done
years ago could have been overlooked until this time. There
w 11 then be "a rage" for White Knights just in proportion to
the neglect which has hitherto left it in obscurity.—Berkshire
Chronicle.
