SIiczETARY—Mr. John C. Sommers.

In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting line between the important towns of Chichester end Ports-
mouth 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. itaim—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester and Portsmouth. will extend the facilities 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 the advantage of two termini in London will be 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
fora London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.

The line of railway intended to be constructed byihis 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
badge. . _ .

In its course to Portsmouth It will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Recto'', Westbourae, and Emsworth, at or near which last •mentioned
place this projectedll.e will join the Chichesterand Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

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 between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected between
London and Port•mouth has proposed t• pass, and also pursuing
a route more 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 Redidll station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.
From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton

ailroad is ......

From the point near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the
Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is .• ............. 7

....... 21 miles.

Toted distance from London to Portsmouth. ..... ...• 73 miles.

From Chilgrove a Roe 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.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches off
d'em the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
lice 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 be-
tween the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near:to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpstield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, ightbam, Town Malting, Wsotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.

The distance between Chitham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extent over R 2 miles. •
To the naval and military establishments of this kingdom the
construction of this projected lino will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &e., 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 thereabouts,
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 an
electric telegraphic, that celerity of eommunicaaon 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 effect
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 Directors have to congratulate the shareholders of the Lei-
cester and Tamworth Junction, and of the Coventry, Nuneaton, Bir-
mingham, and Leicester Railway Companies, on the union of inte-
rests which has been effected by the amalgamation of the two Com-
panies under the title of " The Leicester, Tamworth, Coventry,
Birmingham, and Trent Valley Junction Railway Company," whereby
such an accession of strength has been obtained as to ensure a
successful issue to their application to Parliament during the next
session.

By this arrangement the shareholders in each Company are en-
titled to exchange the shares they now Mold in the separate Com-
panies for a like number in the united Company, or at their option to
receive back the full amount of their deposits.

One branch of this railway will commence at or near the Wigton
station, near Leicester, on the Midlands Railway, where it will unite
with the proposed South Midland Railway, thereby opening a com-
munication with Market Harborough, Northamptonshire, Bedford-
shire, and the south, and will proceed through Mickley and Nun-
eaton to Coventry, foaming a junction with the Trent Valley Rail-
way at Nuneaton,
Another branch will proceed from the Midlands Railway at
Leicester, by Market Bosworth to Atherstone, where it will unite
with the Trent Valley Railway.

Surveys for the proposed extension to Birmingham are in a state of
.
6: eat forwardness.
_ _ _

The ebjects embraced by the Company as now constituted are
threefold :

First—To effect a direct communication between Leicester and
Liverpool, by means of the junction with the Trent Valley Railway
at or near Atherstone, thereby effecting a saving in distance of 30

Secondly—To afford the most direct communication betweel
Leicester, Birmingham, and the iron districts of Staffordshire, by
means of a junction with the Birmingham and Derby Railway at the
Whiteacre station, thereby reducing the distance between Birming-
ham and Leicester from 49 to 35 mils.

Thirdly—To connect the important towns of Coventry, Bosworth,
Nuneaton, Hinckley, and Leicester by the nearest practicable line,
thereby reducing the distance between Coventry and Leicester seven
miles, and affording railway accommodation to the important manu-
facturing and mineral districts of South Leicestershire and North
Warwickshire, and also communicating, by means of the Coventry
branch of the London and Birmingham Railway, with Leamington,
and by means of the projected Warwick and Cheltenham Railway
with Cheltenham.

The proposed line will afford an outlet, by means of a branch to
the Leicester and Swannington Railway, for the coal, lime, and other
mineral productions of Leicestershire, to the districts south and
west of Leicester.

The four imr-ortant towns of Leicester, Coventry, Tamworth, and
Birmingham. containing a population of upwards of 300,000, will
be brought by this railway into immediate connexion.
The country has been carefully surveyed, and the Parliamentary
plans and sections are nearly perfected.

This line is projected by the NOrfolk Railway Company and the
Grand Union Railway Company, and it, will form a connecting link
between those two lines.

Leaving the station of the Norfolk Company at Brandon, the line
proceeds via Downham Market to Wisbech, and from thence to Spald-
ing, being a distance of about 40 miles. At the latter town it joins
the Grand Union Railway, which continues via Grantham to Not-
tingham, thus completing a direct and independent line of communi-
cation between Yarmouth and Norwich, and Nottingham and the
manufacturing districts.

The distance between the termini will be as short by the proposed
route as by the Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham lines; whilst
the traffic between Nottingham. Yarmouth, and Norwich, and the
central, west, and south parts of Norfolk, the north of Cambridge-
shire, and the counties of Suffolk and Essex, being under the control
of friendly Companies, will be secured for this undertaking.
Estimates for the traffic are in course of preparation. In the mean-
time it may be stated that, from the data already furnished respecting
some of the important loca flies through which the line passes, added
to the fact that it forms part of a direct course of railway communi-
cation between Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing dis-
tricts, and the ports of Yarmouth and Lynn, there is no doubt an
ample remuneration will be secured for the shareholders.
SatiSfactory arrangements have been made with the Eastern
Counties Railway Company in reference to that portion of the line
between Wisbech and Spalding, which has been agreed to be leased
by them from the Wisbech and St. Ives Company.
If the Wisbech and St. Ives Company succeed in their application
to Parliament, the line to be made by this Company will be limited
to that part between NVisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies protroting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. on the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-
oas profits. . •

Iu the allotment of shares preference, will be given to the share-
holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

This railway will connect the North Sea with St. George's Channel,
and form a direct route from Holyhead to !lull. It will commence
at Chester, where it will form a junction with the CheAer and Holy-
head and Chester and Birkenhead Railway, and passing betw,en
Northwich and Middlewlelt, to Macclesfield, Sheffield, Rotherham,
Doncaster and Howden, by a junction with the Hull and Selby line,
it will proceed to Hull.

By the proposed line a saving in distance will be effected between
Chester and Macclesfield of seventeen miles ; between Macclesfield
and Sheffield, twenty-three miles ; and between Sheffield and Hull
of thirty miles ; making in the aggregate a saving of sixty miles be-
tween Chester and Hull.

This line will connect itself at Macclesfield with the Manchester
and Birmingham ; at Sheffield with the proposed Leeds, Wakefield,
Barnsley and,Sheffield, and also with the proposed line from Sheffield
through Gainsborough to Great Grimsby, and at llowdzn it will form
a junction with the York and Selby, Leeds and Selby, and the Great
Northern Railways.
• The direct transit which this line will afford between the ports of
hull and Dublin, combined with the immense traffic arising from the
Baltic and Great Northern trade Of Europe, the densely-populated
and highly commercial and manufacturing districts of Sheffield,

Mas.clestleid, and the salt works of Cheshire, toher with the com-
munication It will open for conveying the prcdneeget of the inexhausti-
ble mines of Wales across the entire kingdom, will render this line
one of the most lucrative and pre-eminently desirable for permanent
investment.
It is no slight advantage in this undertaking that, whilst it forms a
connecting line with so many railways, it will not interfere with any
of those in exigence, but will, on the contraM afford additional ac-
commodation to their general traffic.
The sterve.vs will be completed without delay; and in the mean-
time it Is reserved to the' Committee of Management to make such
alterations in the line, or amalgamations with other companies, as
may be deemed most advantageous to the interests of this Company.
Power will be applied fir to allow interest at the rate of tour per cent.
on the call; from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as
well. .ss to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of
their subscriptions only.

This line will diverge from the line of the Great Eastern and
Western Railway, near Worcester, and proceeding by Brom-
yard, will end at Leominster, at which point it will unite with the
proposed lines connecting Hereford and Shrewsbury with North
Wales.

The communication by railway between these important towns
and the continuous hop and cider districts bas been entirely lett
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Company, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the leaded gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.

The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter town has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to af-
ford the inhabitants the most direct communication witk London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of3o miles.
No person will be liable for more than his deposit till the act is ob-
tained, and power will be applied for to allow interest at 41. per cent.
on all calls from the time of their respective payments, as well as t•
limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

PROSPECTUS.
The objects inten4ed to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
ilecondly—The benefit of railway communication with the metro-
polis to a district of country upwards of fifty miles in length at pre-
sent unprovided with that accommodation.
Thirdly—The completion of the chain of railway communication
between the river Severn and the southern and western counties, and
the north-eastern district of the kingdom and the river Humber and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in conjunction with the
London and Birmingham, and the lines of railway proposed to con-
verge at that town from Cheltenham, and the west from Worcester
and from Warwick, the line will proceed in a direct course to the
market town of Kettering, by which place all the companies compet-
ing for the line of railway between London and Manchester propose
to pass. It will then proceed also in a direct course to the market
towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Grantham, on to Lincoln.
The country lying between the towns of Northampton and Grant-
haul is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation, not only to the south but also to the north.

At Lincoln the line v.lll fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
nortkerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainskorough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raises, on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
By a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Marketßaisen, a direct and uninterrupted chain of communi-
cation will be established between all the above-mentioned districts
and the town and port of Hull.

The sources of traffic which this line will secure are various and
zory considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Groat Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the traffic from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern and western districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing load traffic between that
town and Market Itaisen and Lincoln.

From Gainshorough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the trafile to Lincoln, its
county town.

The trams from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enter upon this line at Market Raisen and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traits passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass ever this line.

In tLe event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincoln to the smith and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this line of railway; the
former the whole distance, and the latter in any event to Grantham,
a distance of about twenty-five miles ; and should the London and
York Company not succee4, such trails will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.
The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and including the marxet towns or
Oakingham and Uppinghatn, is without a railway or water-carriage
accommodation, and the whole of its traffic therefore will travel over
this line of railway, which will be in the direct course not only to
the west but also to London.

At Kettering this line will unite with that one of the uow corn.
peting schemes passing that town from Manchester and Leicester to
London, which shall be successful before Parliament.
The country is free from engineering difficulties, with oxe or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the Use;
indeed for many miles the line will run upon a water level.
The line will not interfere with any ornamental property.
The landowners on the line are favourable to the undertaking.
The promoters reserve power to alter and vary the route, to ex-
tend the proposed lee of railway, and to increase the amount of ca-
pital as may be necessary er advisable.
