FLY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAI
In consequence of the great number of applications for she
in this Company which arc daily received from all parts of t
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the aft,
tion el the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to I ,
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled rri I
strictly to adhere:—

" As, under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and E' ti
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Derelnun Railway Compani,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the hold,
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares o; .
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application 14
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally II
terested and of the highest respectability.
By order,

PENZANCE).
The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
nave COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
claims unprecedented, it is believed, in their number-and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap•
p'icants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

PROSPECTUS.
This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock-
wood (thus connecting itself with 'Maidstone), through the parishes
of Brenchley, iforsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
lfaalrvskhi:urst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas-
m Beckley, Lien, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent unprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great
portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining
part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely
to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary
to interfere with any residences or ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye. and all the other places embraced
by this line, will be considerable.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,000/.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for
a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it
was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee,
that the contemplated traffic, afterdeducting 401. per cent, for work-
ing expenses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested
capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the best direc-
tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of
l;ye was e :titled to a direct railway communication with the inte-
rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre •
sent scheme has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage
of the merits and defects of which appeared upon that investigation,
and as it embraces a more populous and productive country, and
passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of
better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic

particularly coals, with lime and other
manures, are of great importance to the country through which the
line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much
increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im-
provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop-poles, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
