This Railway, commencing by a junction with the line of the Lon-
°ll and Brighton Railway at Brighton, and terminating at Saint
Leonardo and Hastings, is projected as the most eligible Line that can
executed'for connoting with London the fashionable watering-
',races of Hastings, Saint Leonard;, and 'Eastbourne, the market
'own of Ilailsham, the comity and assize town- of Lewes, and the
'rich agr. icultural districts of East •'•ltriSeti, connecting all those places
,Nvitli each other, and with the important town of Brighton.
It is adapted to become a portion of an important national Line,
,aversing the coast, and connecting eastern and western ex-
.'renlitles of Sussex. The Shoreham and Chichester Railway, for
'''lnch an Act of Parliament is now being applied for, forming an-
'other link of this important chain.
lictween Brighton and Lewes, a length of 7i miles, it is proposed to
Itnake a double Line. Between Leaves and Hastings, 24) miles, a
431tVe Line only, with bridges and land for a double Line throughout..
castings
several plans have at different times been proposed to connect
'`'Lastings with London by Railway in a northern direction, by either
which the distance is 81 or s 2 miles ; at the seine time involving
fya serious engineering obstacles necessarily interposed by the nature
mfthe'country in that direction.
'Jae distance by the proposed Line is 82 miles, and the country is
VecUltarly adapted to the construction of a Railway.
e, The details of the traffic have received the careful scrutiny of the
-Loinraittee, and also of the Directors of -the London and Brighton
Railway Company, and the cot mates of the Engineers are of that
."__MPle character, that Contractors of the highest stability are prepared
Avail responsible sureties) to complete the Railway, including all
T"tingencies, and the maintenance for twelve months after the open-
•l4g of the Line, for a Ices sum than the amount of such estimates.

Passenger trafdle alone, with the small portion of the traffic in
• s, which has been taken into consideration, after deducting 40
Zr cent. for tivl cost of working the line, indicates a return of up-
of 8 Per. Cent. upon the proposed capital.
In order to place the undertaking upon a basis of complete seen-
,„,7tl,_3;, its p';tanoters have sought for and obtained the cordial co-opera-

of February next) upon the proposed capital, for a period of ten
'Tears next after the opening of the line—together with a moiety of
'!e profits which may be realised over and above such 4 per cent. ;
ad further, that in case, upon the completion of the proposed Rail-
-443., its Proprietors should prefer testing the productiveness of the
,mre prior to granting the proposed lease, they should have the
att„,4 of so doing, and the Directors will undertake the carrying of
traffic open fair and reasonable terms, and be still pre-
fred to take the proposed lease for the then residue of such term of
