In submitting this undertaking to the public, tho promoters are
influenced no lees by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichestur and Ports-
in,ith and the metropolis, than by Its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great military and
naval arsenals of Great B itain —Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chtchester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilitd.s of communica-
tion 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 th,7 advantage of two termini in London will he 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 Lou-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from Loudon
bridge.

In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranky, Alfold,
Itillinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Ilaslemere, Chiddlngtold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Alidhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Radon, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned
pike this projected II .e will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
By this course the entire distance to travel betwi-. en London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between►
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route inure 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
Rebate) and Emsworth.

Total distance fl'om London to Portsmouth . 73 miles,

Front Chilgrove a lino of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
62 miles, and trains will run direct between London and Chichester.
Inas•nuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
itom the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.

....
From tot inspection of the map, it will be seen that the RAWL]
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth anrChatham, and in pursuing the line of communication be-
tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Litnpsfleld,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wsotham, Off-
hem, Snodland, Lower hailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will Involve the
pf 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will exten.l over 82 miles.
To the naval awl military establishments of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, Etc., diminishing
tha tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists la.tween Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them In that direct com-
munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabouts,
wli) enable the journey between them to bg made.
The fat-Illation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
aml: Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by an
electric telegraphic, that celerity of communication so Important to be
ob'ained between places of national importanea,
The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the lint is phalgsd tp this undertaking.
The Provisional CoutruiltOP abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
thlis undertaking, f:Aing convinced that the extent of tratilc through
the populous arul rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to page is tittfileigtitlY known, and is deois!ve of the
Inutility of all comment in that ye-spoof,
