SECILETART—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 and 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 Britain—Portsmouth and Chatham.
The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini It
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 wost. 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
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.

place this projectedll c will join the Chich sterand Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the main
line at or near Capel.
By this course the entiri, 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 Portsmouth has proposed to pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 0 miles of
railway to complete the course between the Reilliill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.

From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton
Railroad is 21 miles.
