DISTRICT BANKERS. "

The Branches of the London and County Joint-Stock Bea at
Tunbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
At Heating—Messrs. Hildes, i Co.
The object of this company is to effect a direct communication,
by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also
between Tunbridge Wells and Brighton.
The Hastings line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunhridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wartburg's,
Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge. Whatling
"ton, and Battle, having its terminus at the extremity of Hastings.
The Brighton line (about twenty- two miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton,
passing near Mayfield, Rothertield, Uckfield, Little Horsteit. and
Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is
nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton.
The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashienable
watering-places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will
thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with
each other by railway —an advantage which ought to have been
supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively,
when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a
continued and direct railway to the metropolis.
The area embraced within these lints of railway is justly re-
nrarkable for the variety and va:ue of its agricultural produce;
being one of the most extensivis homdistricts in England, and not
inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when
it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it
may almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the
profits arising from the conveyance of those productions aloe, must
form (independent of passenger traffic) a very large source of
revenue to the shareholders.
Even from the already developed resources of the ext, nsiese
wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines
will run, the mos encouraging estimate of results may be justly
entertained; and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company
(which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried
into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to
Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng.
land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists.
The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de.
cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a
glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show.
To the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan-
tages must accrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing
them within two hours of the metrcpolis, and, through it, by the
great line of which it is the focus, connecting them with every
portion of the country. An immense increase in the number of
their opulent visitors must necessarily be the consequence, the
climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally con-
sidered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon.

ellettea and the town and port of Bye, or to connect that line with
the Hastings and Ashford Coast line; either of which objects
can• be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must consi-
derably increase the value of the principal project.
• To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be
derived from the Hastings line must be great. It will give in.
creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts
through which it passes, and will complete the railway communi-
cation between Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and
other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester,
Portsmouth, Southampton, and other important towns in the
western parts of the country.
The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be
materially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well
known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus, and
cannot fail to secure
.to the shareholders a large interest on the
capital invested.
A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no
part of it has heed found to offer engineering difficulties cf more
than ordinary character.
The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and, in the allotment of shares, a prefer-
ence will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and other
parties locally interested.
Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 4/. per ceat.
per annum on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of
making alterations in the line or branches, sod of adop ing the
atmospheric principle, if advisable.. They are also determined
on giving strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the
capital, arid will thereby be enabl• d to guarantee low charges for
passengers and goods, and there can be tio
t reasonablele c° e
doubt,conveyance
of
that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full
rate of 111. per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch
lines, or a reduction of tolls.
The strong feelings in favour of a direct line, evinced on the
part of the public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood;
the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numer.
ous and strong assurances riceived in favour of au ittdrpcnden,
Company, leave no d ,utit of the successful issue of air aeplication
to Parliament for an Act next Session.
In order that every attention may be secured to local :nteresb,
arrange mews are now being made to add the names of mntlsmel
of influence and property in the counties of Kent and SusstX I.
