SZCZETART—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 .nd 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 itain —Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester aid 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
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, ou the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from Louden
bridge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurit, Rudgwick, Cranley, Altold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Ilaslentere, Chiddingtold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Radon, Westboume, and Emsworth, at or near which last-mentioned
place this projectedlLe will join the Chichester and 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 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 betwoce
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 45 miles of
railway to complete the coarse between the Recant station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.
From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton
Railroad is • •
The junction to be made by this Company is 4 u
From the point near Emsworth to Portsmouth by the
Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is

Total distance from London to Portsmouth 73 miles.
From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which will place Chichester in direct communication with London.

iliedisiancer 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
from the London and Flr.ghton Railruad at Reigate, this projected

lEwill open up a e,ommiinleation by railroad between Poitsinoutk

and Bailey, brokers, Leeds; Messrs. Schultz and Carr, brokers, Li-

11 This railway will connect the North Sea with St. George,s channel,
and form a direct route from Holyhead to Bull. It will commence
at Chester, where it will form a junction with the Chester and Holy.
head and Chester and Birkenhead Railway, and Passnig between
Northwich and Middlewich, 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 utiles ; between Macclesfield
and Sheffield, twenty-three miles; and between Sheffield and Hull
of thirty miles ; m king in the aggregate a saving
or saty miles be-
tween Chester and Hull.
This line will connect itself at Macclesfield with the Manchester
and Birmingham at Sheffield w
ith the proposed Leeds, Wakefield,
;
Barnsley and Sheffield, and also with the proposed line from Sheffield
through Gainshorough to Great Grimsby, and at Howden 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 ant Dublin, combined with the immense traffic arising from the
Baltic and (treat Northern trade of Europe, the densely-populated
and highly commercial and manufitcturing districts 9f Sheffield,

Macclesfield, and the salt works of Cheshire, together with the com-
munication it will open for conveying the prcdnce 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 existence, but will, on the contrary, afford additional ac-
commodation to their general traffic.
The surveys will be completed without delay; and in the mean-
time t is reserved to the Committee of Management to make such
ulterat:ons in the line, or amalgamations with other companies, as
may be deemed meat advantageous to the interests of this CompAoy,
Power will be applied for to allow interest at the rate of :our per cent.
on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as
well' as to limit the liability of the shareholders to the amount of
their subscriptions only.

This line will direige 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 has been entirely left
unprovided for by existing arrangements, and this lino 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 lauded gentry of the neigh-
bourhood. •

The object proposed Is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, llromyard, 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.

PROSPECTUS.
The objects intemied to be accomplished by this undertaking are--
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
liecondly—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 limber and
its ports, including that of Hull.
Commencing at the town of Northampton, in corjunetion with the
London and isirmingham, 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-
ham is wholly without existing or even proposed railway accommo-
dation,not only to the south but also to the north.

—At Lincoln the line will fork, and proceed, on the one hand, in a
northerly direction to the flourishing port of Gainsborough, and, on
the other, by a north-eastern course to the market town of Market
Raise', on to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
Iv a union with the Sheffield and Great Grimsby Junction Rail-
way at Market Raisen, 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
rery considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
starting from Great Grimsby, the line will appropriate to itself the
whole of the tratlie from thence to the metropolis, and also the
southern aid wester' districts of the kingdom, and, in addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Ratan and Lincoln.

--From Gainsboreugh, tho termini of several railways from the
North and north-west, this lhie will carry the trete to Lincoln, its
county town.

ThetraMe from Hull to the metropolis, and also to the west, will
enterupon this line at Market Raise!) and proceed thereon to Lincoln.
From Lincoln the whole of the traits passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass over this line.

In the event of the Can;bridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Rill, then the traille from Lincoln to the south 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 succeed, such trellis will proceed on to Kettering
or Northampton.

The entire district between Grantham and Kettering, a distance
of more than forty miles, and including the market towns of
Oakingham and lippingham, 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.
