indeed, no line in England embraces so much traffic, and the combi-
nation of so many railways. .

The course of the line-will be from the junction of the eastern
counties, the Harw:ch and the Ipswich Railway at CAchester, by or
near Earl Colne, Coggleshall, Braintree, Dunmow, Bishop-Stortford,
Widford, Ware, Hertford, Hatleld, St. Alban's, Watford, Rickmans-
worth, Cheneys, Amerslrun, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Great
Marlow, Henley-on-Thames, to Itcaling, forming a junction with
other lines to Southampton and Portsmouth. The southern exten-
sion branches off from the main line at Rickmansworth, to Uxbridge,
Upton, and Windsor.
. .

The line will, in its course, run directly through seventeen-market
towns, containing together a population of 110,000 inhabitants, and
will, within three miles of its coarse, have a population of more than
300,000 inhabitants; and owing to the peculiar angle it makes with
other railways, it will, jointly, with the Northern and Eastern, be
the nearest route from Braintree and Dunmow to London ; and, 17
the London and York and this line, the nearest from Hertford and St.
Alban's to London ; and the nearest route, by this line and the Lon-
don and Birmingham, trom Amersham, Wycombe, and Marlow to
London, besides saving from ten to forty miles in the cross distance
of the whole towns in the interior, and the several ports.
Atone end of this line are four sea-ports and extensive docks, viz.,
Malden, Colchester, Harwich, and Ipswich. From Malden, there are
upwards of 100,000 quarters of corn and seed annually exported, ex-
clusive of home consumption ; in addition, there is great trade in
timbsr, stone, slate, lime, chalk, and oil-cake, all of which will be
brought on this line, and open a direct communication from these
ports to the malting districts of Newport, Bishop-Stortford, Ware,
and Hertford.

Colchester and Ipswich have become most important ports, and
need no remark; and Government has made. a grant for the construc-
tion of a Refuge Harbour at Harwich, and a great Packet Station is
to be established there, which by this line will command the whole of
the passengers and merchandise traffic from the Midland,lSouth, and
the Western Districts, for the north of Europe.
At the other termini of this line are Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Southampton, the latter of which is rapidly becoming one of the most
important ports in England. The line will open the only direct com-
munication from Southampton, and Portsmouth Dockyard, to the
whole of the Midland and Eastern Counties; and communicate with
five of the principal established railways in Eagland, viz., South-
Western, Great Western, London and Birmingham, Northern and
Eastern, and Eastern Counties, and will not be in opposition to either
of them, but contribute to augment their respective trafilc.
The whole line has been examined by the Company's Engineers,
and presents no engineering difficulty.
Powers will be applied for in the Bill, to allow interest at the rate
of 4/. per cent. per annum, on all calls made from the passing of the
Act until the.hpening of the line. The greatest portion of the capital
is already sub Scribed for.

Applications for plans, prospectuses, and shares, may be made to
the Company's Solicitors, Local Agents, and the following Share-

PROSPECTUS.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Betworth, Mid-
hurst, Pettrstield and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton
Manches'er and Oxford Junction.

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

From Petersfleld a sho• t branch will be made to Ch'ehester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth.

From Sw.ndon it is proposel to proceed by the Manchester and
Southampt. n Railway to Chelt sham, ant 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 the:ace 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 traffic must neces-
sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining a population of about 300,000, at present almost devoid of
railway accommodation.

Power will 'he applied for in the Act to increase the capital,i f
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 Secretary, and
to the following Sharebrokers, of whom pros:lectuses, with mars
of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs. Peppercorns and

In compliance with the suggestion of the Committee of the House
of LordS (the measure having previously received the sanction of the
Board of Trade, and the approval of the House of Commons), a fur-
ther and most accurate survey of the whole line of country traversed
between Plymouth and Falmouth bas been determined upon, and
Mr. Bnincl has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recom-
mendation.

The, construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre-
diton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which
it is proposed to give railway accommodation to tile northern and
central parts of that county, has rendered it most desirable that a
junction should he effected between the Cornwall Railway and North
Devon line; Mr. Brunel has therefore been instructed to extend his
survey with a view to effect this junction, and to afford direct com-
munication with Exeter and the North of Devon.

By the proposed plan the following objects will be obtained—a
continuous line of railway from Penzance and Falmouth to Ply-
mouth, and thence by the South Devon line to Exeter. A direct
line by way of Launceston and Creditor to Exeter. From Launces-
ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the North Devon
Railway a line through Barnstaple and South MoHon to join the
Bristol and Exeter line at Tiverton and Taunton.
By the connexion which will thus be formed between the Cornwall
Railway and the South Devon, North Devon, and West Cornwall
Railways, the most complete and comprehensive rystem of railway
communication will be provided for the west of England, giving the
pultancieos in thestamouLittitietif ttsc of Cornwall

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 he effected between the whole of the
84Mb-east em coast, including the port and harbour of Dover and the
Liverpool,l
tailvrity, waintl
as
several ports and towns of Southampton, Gosport, Portsmouth, and
Bristol ; and, by means of the Bristol Birminghamandisiaaciie
ster,
Gloucester, Worcester, Birmingham,
the north of Engtind.'

From its proximity to the Continent, the port of Dover will always
he the most accessible point of the English coast; an expeditious
communication therefore between that and the other ports, harbours,
and inlandtowns 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
therg,..l of 1,500,0001., it cannot fail of becoming a place of the
