The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist. To reinedY the evils
of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time,
necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro'
polls to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern
and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports
and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To
supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district
through which the intended line will pan (at present wholly with-
out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in-
terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other.
Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the lino will take the most
practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as
possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the
wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton,
Tulsa-hill, Streatham,
Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect-
ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected
lines from that place.
It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh-
bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend
to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages
of a direct railway communication with the metropolis.
A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London
and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity
of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present
circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni-
ence, entailing additional expense and delay. The removal of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre-
sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay-
ing this scheme before the public, that they have no desire to inter-
fere with existing railway interests, further than is absolutely indis-
pensable, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield
assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com-
pany with which this line may ultimately be connected.
A glance at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the
London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight
line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon,
Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke-
stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more
easily accessible from that part of the metropolis.
at amount Qf tilaC et the present time Ppm the roads be-

tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once
that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies
of the mass of population to whom this line will be available.
The population who reside upon or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between
the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost
wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and who have, at
the present time, no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike
road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line
must become to them particularly useful and convenient.
Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway,
when it is known that the number ofpassengers who avail themselves
of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other
public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer-
tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed
by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although
no accurate estimate soul be formed of them, it is considered: that
they at least number four times that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tormage of goods it is calculated will be in full pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this
instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con-
veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will
open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the
admired districts of Brixton and Streatiltun, the long-favoured and
much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy
access, and become more than ever, objects of interest and delight
to the visitor and resident of the metropolis.
There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must
become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital.
The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing
that it is approved of, awl will be generally supported by local in-
fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will
be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers
that there are not more than ordinary difficulties to contend with.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia-
ment, to the amount of their subscriptions ; and power will be applied
for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls
from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.

This railway is projected to form a direct communication between
Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld
and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable
neighbonrhood of Tonbrldge Wells, and more snediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth. Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and moat rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete.
The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated
by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfield, Little Horsted, Uckfleld
Maresfleld, Frampfleld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham,Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Buxted, Rotherfield,
Lamberhnrst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hadfield, Ashurst.
The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are in
course of preparation. Tho preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc-
tion, and easy gradients
The landowners generally are favourable to this line, to which
tkey have pledged their support.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing
of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the
shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management
for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and
to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses
incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and
sections to be submitted to Parliament.
Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby
given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad-
ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or
companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company.
Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual
form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton;
to W. B. James, Esq., London ; to W. P. Kell, Esq.. Lewes ; to
Robert Foreman, Esq., Tonbridge Wells ; and to F. H. Nalder, Esq.,

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT— Cadwalhuler F. Waddy, Esq.
SECRETARY—CharIes Martin, Esq.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of constructing a
line in continuation of the South-Eastern Railway at Reigate,
whereby a direct junction will be effected between the whole et the
south-eastern coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the
several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Bristol ; anti, by means of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, with
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and
the north of England.
From its proximity to the Coatinent, the port of Dover will always
be the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious
communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours,
and inland towns of the United Kingdom, must necessarily be regarded
as a great national advantage.
Dover is at present the chief port of embarkation for Calais,
Boulogne, Ostend, and other continental towns, and the vast numbers
already resorting there both on business and pleasure, will be im-
measurably increased when the railways of France, Belgium, Hol-
land, and Germany are fully brought into operation.
In addition to which, the Government Commissioners having
selected Dover as a Harbour of Refuge, and recommended the outlay
there • of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the
greatest resort for the shipping and commercial interests of the coun-
try, and perhaps the most important town on the southern coast.
In every point of view, therefore, whether for national security, or
for travelling excursions, or the invaluable interests of our shipping
and commerce, the paramount importance of a cheaper, more conve-
nient, and accelerated intercourse between this great port and all
parts of the kingdom, must be sufficiently obvious. This the pro-
moters fully anticipate will be attained by the proposed railway,
which will form a portion of a grand trunk line, completing the
chain of railway communication t pon the narrow gauge between the
South-eastern coast, and Bristol and the western, northern, and mid-
land counties.
The line will commence at the terminus of the South-Eastern Rail-
way at Reigate, proceed thence by Dorking, Godalming, Farnham,
and Odiham to the Basingstoke station, on the South-Western Rail-
way. It will then proceed by Andover towards Devizes, Trow-
bridge, and Bradford, with a branch to Bath, and pursuing its course
through the Somersetshire coal-held, throwing off a branch towards
Radstock into the heart of the collieries, terminate in ajunctiou with
the Bristol and Birmingham Railway at Bristol.
By its course through Dorking, Godalming, Farnham, and Odi-
ham, it will supply the railway accommodation so much required by
those towns, and connect the rich and fertile hop districts of Surrey,
Kent, and South Hants, and afford the means of conveyance of their
produce La the great Hop-fair at Weyhill.
By its junction with the contemplated .‘ Reading, Guildford, and
Reigate Railway," it will afford to the inhabitants of Reading, Oxford,
and to the midland counties generally, the best and shortest route to
the Continent, as well as to Worthing, Hastings, Brighton, and the
other watering-places in Sussex and Kent ; and a vast increase of
visitors will undoubtedly be attracted to those places from the interior
of England by the accommodation and facilities for travelling which
will be accomplished by this and the proposed railway from Reading.
By its intersection of the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke,
and of the proposed Manchester and Southampton Railway further
west, the present line will connect Dover towards the south, with
Southampton (the packet station for the East and West Indies, &c.),
Gosport, and lortsmouth, and towards the north, with Cheltenham,
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, also
with Shrewsbury, Chester, and Holyhead, and in fact with the whole
of North and South Wales.
At Basingstoke, also, this line will join the proposed London, Salis-
bury, and Yeovil Railway, and throw open to Dover and the south-
eastern counties the populous ft,d wealthy cities of Salisbury and
Exeter, the rich agricultural counties of Wilts, Dorset, Somerset,
and Devon, the p ,rts of Plymouth, Devonport, and Falmouth, and
the mineral regions of Cornwall.
Te Devizes, Trowbridge, Bradford, and Bath, and the other towns
in the vicinity of its course, the benefit which this line will confer
can be too highly estimated ;to the coal districts of Somerset-
shire it will open large and constant markets both in Bristol and to
the south and east, while to the inhabitants of Bristol especially, con-
necting its channel with the Straits of Dover and the Downs, pro-
viding a perfect line for telegraphic communication, and securing to
them the whole of the trade between the south-east of England and
the west and south of Ireland, it seems difficult, considering the enor-
mous traffic which must necessarily flow to that city, to conceive a
project more deserving of their cordial support.
In the memorable Parliamentary contest last session between two
great rival companies, the Legislature for the first time admitted
that principle of competition with existing interests which was
claimed by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company for
the protection and benefit of the public ; and it is with no fear of
the resu't that the promoters of the present undertaking invite
attention to one distinguishing feature it contains, viz., that by the
construction of the line from Bristol t Basingstoke, the Box Tunnel
will be avoided, and a new and indepet:dent communication will be
established between Bristol and London, by a shorter line on the
narrow gauge than by the devious course of the Great Western, inde-
pendently of all the advantages of the proposed central station at
Hungerford-bridge, and the convenient access to the Thames both
there and at Nine Elms, over the distant and inconvenient Station
of the Great Western at Paddington.
In length the proposed line will be nearly 110 miles (assuming this
Company to have the construction of that portion between Reigate
and Dorking, for which plans have been deposited by the South-
Eastern Company)—the country through which it passes does not
present any engineering difficulties of moment, nor will any resi-
dential or ornamental property be interfered with except under an

imperative necessity. - - -
A reserve of shares will be made for landowners on the line, and
the Committee also retain to themselves the power to vary the course
of the line with reference to any arrangements with existing interests
and projected lines that may be considered advantageous to the
shareholders.

The capital proposed to be raised is 1,500,0001., in 75,000 shares of
201. each, with a deposit of 2/. 2s. per share, to be paid on allotment.
Power will be taken by the Act to allow interest, at 41. per cent.
per annum, upon all deposits and subscriptions until the opening of
the line, and no subscriber shall be answerable for more than the
amount of his deposit until the Act has been obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
The Subscribers' Agreement and the Parliamentary Contrast will
be ready for execution, and the scrip issued immediately upon pay-
ment of the deposits.
Applications for shares must be addressed to the Secretary, at the
Offices of the Company, No. 12, Gray's Inn-place, only ; but n 3 appli-
cation will be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to a
member of the Provisional Committee, one of the solicitors to the
Company, or a banker.
Copies of the prospectus and form of application for shares may be
obtained at the offices of the Company, or of Messrs. Peppercorne, Old
Broad-street ; Mr. Sym, 9, Tokenhouse-yard ; and Mr. B. B. Wil-
liams, Throgmorton-street, stock and sharebrokers, London.
