PROSPECTUS.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyuing, Petworth, Mid-
hurat, Petersileld and Alresford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton
Manchester 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 Peterstield a sho t branch will be made to Chichester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will intersect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
ore
existing and
W
Southampton Railway to Chelt nhatn, and the North of England
bs
t-he the
ig Derbyshire,a
hliirneesa.nd Staffordshire Junction, or
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object
contemplated rcesten
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 thence 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 ceuntiea
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 if
railway accommodation.
Power will he applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches
therefrom as maybe 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 Maher call beyond the deposit will be made until the let
shall be obtained.
In tho allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with whisk
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and

SECRETARY (pro tem.)—P. P. Smith, Esq., Truro.

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 has been determined upon, and
Mr. Brunel has been instructed to carry out their Lordships' recoin
mendation.
The construction of a line from or near Launceston, by way of Cre-
dlton to Exeter, forming a part of the North Devon scheme, by which
it is proposed to give railway accommodation to the northern and
central parts of that county, has rendered It most desirable that a
junction should be effected between the Cornwa'l 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 Creditou to Exeter. From Lemma:
ton a line through Tavistock to Plymouth, and by the Ncatth
Railway a line through Barnstaple and South to Wu the
Bristol ant Exeter line at Tiverton and Tsamtml.
By the connexion which Will tbtttillo fopheil hetwom the Cornwall
Railway and the South Devon, Norut Det,filb and West Cornwal
Railways, the moat egtapipte and oslnplehenstve e!stort of railway
cornlll44ll44ittAtt Will he Kovidecl foi, the west of England, giving the
utmost fillicitint of aceommodation to all the principal towns and
places In the notpitles of Cornwall and Devon.
In the county of Cornwall the towns of peasarce, .4t. Ives, Mara-
alon, llayle, Camborne, Itedruth, Falmouth, Perryn, Truro, St.
Austell, Lostwithicl, Bodmin, Watiehridge, Liakcsrd, Launceston,
and Torpoint, and the great mining, commercial, trading, and agri-
cultural parishes and districts of the county, wil 11011 the benefit of
railway communication ; while the ports of St. Ives, Portreath, tier
Quay, and Padstow on the north coast, and Mount's Bay,
Falmont 1,
Mevagissey, Pentuan, Charlestown, Par, } owey, and Looe, on the
south coast, will be connected with or brought within very mode-
rate distances of the main line.
In the laying out of the Cornwall Railway advantage will also be
taken of the several local railways already tbruted or now in course
of construction. consl4crable progress has already been made in
the 4lirVeY,
In earryieg these objects into effect, the Company will have the,
most cordial co-opeiation and support of its associated companies—
namely, the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and
Gloucester, the South Devon, the .1,ortl; Dgyoul au4Weat cguw&l,l
