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 naval and
military 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•
Bon 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 House, 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 91 miles from London-
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Altbld,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Ilaslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Wtetbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last .mentioned
place this projectedline will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
At the earnest recommendation of some of the principal land-
owners, branches are proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters-
field. The branch to Godalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel; and the branch from
Petcrsfield will join the main line at a point between Nidhurst and
(lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these branches will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
itv this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected betweeS
London and, Port-mouth has proposed t• pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive 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 Emsworth.

SECRETARY—Frederick Collier, Esq.
The entire property of the Regent's Canal Company, extending
from Paddington to Limehouse, having been purchased, it is pro-
posed to form a railway on its site, with an extension from the
City• road basin to the vicinity of the General Post-office.
The vast importance of this undertaking, whereby, a junction will
be effected between all existing and projected railways north of the
Thames, combined with the, advantage of a general City terminus,
is too obvious to require comment.
By the proposed railway, passengers and goods will be brought
into the heart of the City at a great saving of time and expense,
and facilities will be afforded for the more expeditious transmission
of the mails to most parts of the kingdom.
The Rix will commence at the Great Western Railway ter-
mimes, and will follow the course of the canal throughout, inter-
secting tic London and Birmingham Railway at Camden-town,
the proposed London and York and Direct Manchester near Pen-
tonville, the Eastern Counties at Old Ford, and the Blackwell
Railway at Limehouse ; traversing the populous districts [of Pad-
dington* Camden-town, Islington, City-road, Hoxton, Kingsland,
and Flackney,—terminating at the Regent's Canal Dock at Lime-
house, adjoining the River Thames, to which there is a wharf
frontage of 170 feet.
The basins, wharfs, warehouses, and buildings at the City-road,
I.imehouse, and along the line of canal will be equally available
as rt present for the large and increasing local goods traffic now
existing on the canal.
Surveys have been made of the property required fer the pro-
posed extension, which it is found can be constructed at a corn.
ipunitively moderate expense.
The object of the Company will be to secure the test accommo-
dation to the public, arid to deal impartially with the present and
:ill !inure companies who may avail themselves of this line. The
property of the present railway companies will be materially im-
proved, and a great national work effected in a manlier and at a
cost which could be accomplished by no other means than by the
conversion of the Regent's Canal.
There are no engineering difficulties of importance to overcome,

the approaches to, and the communications across the line, are
already established, and a comparatively small extent only of pri-
vate property will be interfered with or require to be purchased,
and the completion of the works and the opening of the line may
be confidently expected within twelve months after the sanction of
the Legislature has been obtained.
plications fur prospectuses and shares to be made to the se-
cretary, Frederick Collier, Esq , at the offices of the Company,
Gresham-rooms, Basinghall street.
Parties who are registered proprietors in the Regent's Canal and
in the existing railways and docks connected with this undertaking
are requested to state the fact in their application.
