SzmirrAßY—Mr: dolor 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 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
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended to be constructed bythis Company will
commence at or near the Redhili station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles front London •
badge.
In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Cupel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranky, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Haslemere, Chiddingfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbourne, and Emsworth, at or near which last•mentioned
place this projectedliee will join the Chichesterand Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join the nabs
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 to pass, and ulso pursuing
a route snore 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 Redhill station (near
Reigate) and Emsworth.
From London to Reigate by the London and Brighton
itailroad is • • •••••• • • • • • •

21 miles.

The juncttou to be made by.this Company is ............ 45 „
From the point near. Emsworth to Portsmouth by tho

_ .
Chichester and Portsmouth Railway is ........ .......

Total distance from London to Portsmouth.. 73 miles.
From Chilgrovo a line 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 Loudon and Chichester.
Inasmuch as the existing line of railway to Dover branches oft
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.
From an inspection of the map, It will he 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 Bietchingley, Godston, Limpstield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ighthani, Town Mailing, Wsotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, Lower Halting. and Wouldham.
-" The distance between Chatham and Reigate will involve the
making of 31 miles of railrwsd, and the line of railroad between

Portsmouth and Chatham will exteal over 82 miles.
To the naval and military. establishments 'of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c., 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 communication so important to be
obtained between places 01 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 convincer' 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.

This railway will connect the North Sea with St. George's Channel,
and form a direct route from Holyhead to Hull. It will commence
at Cheater where it will form a junction with the Chester and Holy
ay, and passing between
head and 'Chester, and Birkenhead Railw
Northwich and Middiewleh, to Macclesfield, Sheffield, Rotherham,
Doncaster and Howden, by a junction with the Hull and Selby line,
it will proceed to Hull.
saving in distan ' ce will be effected between
By the proposed line a
Chester and Macclesfield of seventeen miles; between Macclesfieldthree miles; and between Sheffield and Hull
of thirty miles ; making
and Sheffield, twenty three
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 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 anti 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,

Macclesfield, and the salt works of Cheahlre, 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 tine 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 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 for to allow Interest at the rate of four per cent.
on the calls from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line, as
Hell's 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 shrewshury witk 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 line is brought
forward under the auspices of the Great Eastern and Western
Railway Cell-many, on the strong representations and request of a
large and most influential body of the landed gentry of the neigh-
bourhood. _ _ . _

The object proposed is to make a direct communication between
Leominster, Bromyard, and Worcester, which latter tows has always
been the natural market for the produce of these districts, and to of
the inhabitants the most direct communication with London, as
compared with other lines, by upwards of 30 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 to
limit the liability of the shareholders t• the amount of their subscrip-
tions.

PROSPECTUS. _ _ _

The objects intended to be accomplished by this undertaking are—
Firstly—The supply of local railway accommodation to the impor-
tant districts embraced by the line.
Secondly—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 Idnmber 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 front 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.
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
very considerable ; some of them only can be here enumerated, viz.:—
Starting from Great 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, is addition, it
will secure the important and increasing local traffic between that
town and Market Raisen and Lincoln.
From Gainsborough, the termini of several railways from the
north and north-west, this line will carry the traffic to Lincoln, its
county town.
The traffic 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 traffic passing to the west and the
intermediate towns must pass ever this line.
' In the event of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company not
obtaining their Bill, then the traffic from Lincon to the south and
west, and also the metropolis, will pass along this lline of railwanthe
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 traffic 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 Uppingham, is without a rtaiilawareorwwilaltterra-
accommodation and the whole of Its traffic ;
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 now com-
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 one or two
exceptions only, and those are more than counterbalanced by the
very favourable gradients of by far the greater portion of the line;
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 line of railway, and to increase the amount of ca-
pital as may be necessary or advisable.
Applications for shares may be made to the Secretary, or to the
following Sharebrekers, of whom prospectus es with maps of the line
may be obtslned:—London —Messrs.Peppercorne and C0.,2,01d Broad-
