PROSPECTUS.
This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock-
wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes
of Brenchley, Horsraonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Rorthiam, Peas-
marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace-a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent unprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great
portion -of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining
part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely
to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary
to interfere with any residences or ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line, will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 300,0001.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for
a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it
was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee,
that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for work-
Mg expenses, would leave a large per tentage

Rye was e .titled to a direct railway con
rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre•
anttiae,
sent scheme has been based upon this that invests
n
of the merits and defects of whichuia2scaarieidi
productive country, and
and as it embraces a more m
passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of
better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic
are considerably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from
what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be
favourably entertained by the Legislature.
The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the ftill benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in the direction of London, to the best point at which it can avail
itselfof the existing and contemplated lines. •
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other
manures, are of great importance to the country through which the
line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much
increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im-
provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A. railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop-poles, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest
rout to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can he
no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderate
improvement in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, in,,,raitl,uice.
ColarlY as a national and commercial communication with k
and by persons travelling on business.

The entire length of the new line to be made will not exceed
thirty-four miles, and the whole will be carried over a most favour-
able country—two-thirds being a water-level.
Sections offs great portion of the line have been made, and the en-
tire Parliamentary survey will be completed by the 9th of October.
This railway will affordla route from Birmingham to Manchester
eleven miles shorter than by any existing or projected line. It will
also give the best and nearest line between Huddersfield, and Bir-
mingham.
It will also furnish a nearer and more direct route from Birming-
ham to the Potteries than any line made or projected by several
miles, assuming any of the projected Pottery lines to have their ter-
mini at Colwich, on the Trent Valley, or at Stafford, on the Grand
Junction Railway ; thus giving to Manchester, and also the Pot-
teries, the shortest, easiest, and most direct route to Birmingham.
