PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now became the traffic-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of rally. ay intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed. to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or rear the Blissporth Station of the
London and Birraing,hain Railway, where it will -communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it wilt Vial pro:eed west-
ward. crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or IRA :r Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed :Ewe from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Thisti 31, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the Brea t centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of Srrath Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed line does
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken.line between two great centres of truff.c, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with. I'te Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support anal co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the, proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this jails.: will join at Al-
cester, and. by meanaof which the Eastern Con odes' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to uma Igamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, •r to vary the line.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENT.

• This line of railway is proposed to commence at the city of Ox-
ford ; to pass through the towns of Theme, Princes Risborough,
High Wycombe, and other intermediate places in the counties of
Oxford and Buckingham; and to pass on through Uxbridge to
West Drayton, in the county of Middlesex, where it will join the
Great Western Railway.

From the town of Theme, through which it will pass, a railway
has been projected to Aylesbury, which will, by means of the pre-
sent Aylesbary Junction, form a connection between the proposed
line and the London and Birmingham ; while other railways are
proposed, which will further extend the communication to the pro-
posed London and York Railway (or any other which may be
carried northwards from London), to the Northern and Eastern,
and lastly to the Eastern Counties Railway. Thus the line at pre-
sent proposed will complete the communication (partially produced
by existing and other proposed lines) between Oxford and many im-
portant and populous places in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hert-
fordshire, and Essex, embracing the seaports and watering-places of
Malden, Colchester, and Harwich.

By the connexions formed with other railways, the various im-
portant and manufacturing towns and districts of the northern, cen-
tral, and eastern parts of the country will be placed within ready
access of Oxford, its immediate neighbourhood, and the west of
England generally, and this important object being effected by so
short a line, cannot fail to secure considerable profit, as the mercan-
tile and agricultural traffic will be very great, as well as that of
passengers.

One very prominent advantage arising from the connexion with
the London and Birmingham Railway, will be the ready and cheap
upply of coal in a district where this essential article is at present
exorbitantly dear; and, as the consumption in Oxford only must be
very considerable, the carriage of it will prove an extensive source of
profit to the line.
Uxbridge is the largest corn market in England ; and the com-
municating medium with that town and the agricultural districts of
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, ansl the surrounding counties,
must secure a large remunerating traffic.
At West Drayton, where this line will terminate, the Great
Western Railway furnishes the connecting link to the metropolis,
the emporium of the world ; other railways are already projected, in
a continuous direction with that of the proposed line, to the proposed
London and Exeter Direct, and (crossing the river Thames) to the
South Western, the proposed Portsmouth Direct, and the Brighton
and Dover Railways. Thus Oxford and its locality will be directly
connected by railway with the west of Middlesex, Kingston-upon-
Thames, Dorking, Reigate, Brighton, and Dover ; and, indeed, with
the counties of Surrey and Kent generally, avoiding the delay, dis-
tance, and expense, resulting from the present route by way of
London.

But, by the connexion formed with the Great Western Railway
above alluded to, a most important object will be attained, namely,
a direct railway communication between Oxford and the metropolis,
which cannot fail to secure the whole of the traffic from the one
place to the other, as the present line, formed by a junction with the
Great Western at Didcot, is very circuitous, and the route will be
shortened twelve miles or more. The proposed line may also be re-
garded as an extension of the projected lines from Oxford to Glouces-
ter and Worcester, and of all other lines westward of Oxford, not
only towards the metropolis, but to the whole of the country and
various railways to which it forms a communication.
Oxford, celebrated as a large and splendid city, and mere espe-
cially as being the scat of one of our principal Universities, and con-
taining about 25,000 inhabitants, should undoubtedly be furnished
with a good railway communication, both with London and with
the country at large ; and as no line could be projected which would
embrace both these objects so extensively and successfully as the
present, there is every reason to believe the business done on it
will be considerable, and will yield considerable return on the capital
invested.

A large amount of local traffic may also be expected on the line, as
it will pass through a rich and populous tract of country, containing,
within six miles distance from the site of the proposed railway, about
180,000 inhabitants, who are yet, for the most part, unaccommodated
with the advantages of a railway. This tract of country,, being
chiefly of an agricultural character, highly cultivated and :produc-
tive, a ready- and cheap conveyance to Oxford and other market
towns in the immediate vicimity will be found very desirable.
There are no peculiar difficulties presented to engineering con-
structions along this line, the surface is comparatively level, and the
geological formation favourable ; the expense will he small compared
with that of many others, and the greatest portion of the line does
not approximate any ornamental or residential property.
The usual powers will be applied for in the Act, to allow four per
cent per annum on all calls until the completion of the undertaking,
and no liability will attach to any subscriber beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Parties locally interested, and shareholders in the Great Western,
the Aylesbury, and 'flme Railway, and other proposed hires in
conjunction with the present, to have the preference as applicants
for shares in this undertaking.
Applications for Shares on the printed forms, to be made to the
Solicitor ; to the Secretary, at the Company's offices ; to the Local
Agents ; or to Richard Haighton Wilkins, Esq. Stockbroker, 4,
Bank Chambers, London. . _ .

In all instances reference must be given to a member of the Com-
mittee, a banker, or a solicitor of known respectability.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
ivfluenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting fine between the important towns of Chichester :.lid 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. Hain —Port: mouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini it
Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the fitellitits of communica-
tion with the coast branches of railways along tho south of England,
connecting-itself with Brigbion to the caStward:- and Southampton
towards the west.- By the main line faTle,-; Into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two termini in London will he secured—the
one at time 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 ht 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 21 miles from London-
bridge.

In its course to Portsmouth It will pass through or near Reigate,
Nowdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrore, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned
place this projected line 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 Galalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel; and the branch from
Petersfleld will join the main line at a point between /didhurst and
!lepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
hut 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
linew.ator.atear Capel.
By thi%‘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 litie hitherto projected batwee7l
London and Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
O-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.

From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.

Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, without
stopping at Chilgrove.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover. _

From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communication
to the last-mentione4 naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfleld,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower hailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will exteni over 82 miles.
To the naval and 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, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between 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 thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of rail way between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.

The warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Provisional Committee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into eirec
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.

The Southern Jnnetion Railway Is intended to form a communica-
tion between the Great Western Railway at Slough, and the South-
Eastern at Reigate.
It will afford the most easy access through the medium of the
Great Western Railway to the inhabitants of Reading, maidenhead,
Brighton, Hastings, and the other watering-places
Windsor, Staines, Kingston, Epsom, and the principal intermediate
towns, to Dover,
on the coast of Kent and Sussex.
Ireland, Wales,
Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, and the manu-
facturing districts in the West of England will thus obtain a more
direct, less tedious and expensive communication with the Continent
than by the way of London.
The length of line as proposed will be twenty-seven miles ;itself, and,
after a careful examination, no engineering difficulty presents
as it runs for more than half the distance on a level, and traverses a
country that must be greatly benefited by this project.
The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the
standing
orders, and enabling them to apply for an Act in the ensuing
session.
The shortness of the line, and the quantity of passenger and mer-
cantile trate—that the' line will,' command, leaves no doubt of an
ample return for the investment of capital.
