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
offriendly 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.ities 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 Wisbech and Brandon ; and in either case the
two Companies promoting this line have agreed to take a lease of it at
a rental equal to 4 per cent. en the outlay, and a moiety of the sur-
plus profits.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to the share-
holders of the Norfolk and Grand Union Railway Companies.

Applications to be addressed to Richard Till, Esq., Norfolk Rail-
way Company, Guildhall-buildings ; or to Alfred Beeston, Esq.,

This railway is projected to form a direct communication between
Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld
and Rothertield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are self-evident—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable
neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Kent and Sussex w.ll be thus rendered complete.
The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, and will be accommodated
by this line :—Barcombe, Ringmer, Isfleld, Little Horsted, Uckfleld
Maresfleld, Frans aeld, East Hoathly, Mayfield, Withyham, Wadhurst,
Newhaven, and Harbour, Waldron, Fletching, Busted, Rothertield,
Lamberhurst, Frant, Ticehurst, Groombridge, Hartfleld, Asburst.
The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the contrary, this railway will be of facile construc-
tion, and easy gradients

The lando-wilers generally are favourable to this line, to which
they have pledged their support.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at. the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing
of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liability of the
shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be under the control of the Committee of Management
for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and
to apply the fluids of the Company in payment of all the expenses
incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and
sections to be submitted to Parliament.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime Is hereby
given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad-
ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or
companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of he Company.
Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual
farm, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton;

PR RUM I NARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
This railway will roil from the town of Louth, through Market
Rasen, to the town of Gainsborough, in the county of Lincoln, and is
projected for the purpose of completing a direct communication with
the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Manchester, and Liverpool, and
thus affording to the rich grazing and agricultural districts of the
county of Lincoln a ready access to those important markets, and at
the same time a certain and speedy transit fur manufactured goods
and articles of merchandise.
The communication by railway between these important tdWils has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rasen to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked, and therefore the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district, on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body of
gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.
A detailed prospectus and plan is in progress, and will be ready fur
delivery in a few days, with the names of a highly-influential Pro-
visional Committee of parties locally interested : in the meantime,
applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to Messrs.
Coverdale aid Lee, solicitors, 4, Bedford-row, Gray's Inn, London ;
Messrs. Ing,oldby and Son, and Henry Frederic Lucas, Esq., soli-
citors, Louth ; Thomas Oldham, Esq., solicitor, Gainsborough ; and
