This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a railway
in extension of the several important lines which it is intended shall
terminate at or near King's-cross, and the line will proceed from
thence to a point at or near Farnival's Inn and Holborn Bars, where
it is proposed to erect a great central metropolitan terminus. This
terminus will form the north front of a considrarable portion of the
wide•t part of Holborn, between Leather-lane and Gray's Inn-lane..
The site selected is obviously the most convenient for the concen-
tration of the traffic of all the railways issuing from London, either
to the north or Li a north-eagerly or north-westerly direction.
The situation, moreover, presents very great facilities for exten-
sions, in the direction of the railways, to the east and to the south of
London.
The property necessary to be taken for the line and terminus is
not of a valuable character, and there will be no interference with
any existing buildings of any consequence.
The surveys are in a state of forwardness, and will be ready to
enable the Company to proceed to 1-'6rliament next session.
The capital has been fixed at 800,0001., bat the estimates hitherto
received lead the Committee to expect that a smaller sum may
suffice.
A preference in the allotment of shares will be given to scrip-
holders in the Direct Northern Railway, but this Company is esta-
blished as a separate undertaking.
Applications for shares may be addressed in the meantime to the
Solicitors, in the following form :

ENGINEER—CharIes Edward Bnrnard, Esq.

This Railway is projected for the purpose of uniting the Rhondda
and Ely Vaßies, with the South Wales Railway, at a few miles dis-
tance from the Port of Cardiff; and to open a new mineral district,
ono of the richest and most important in South Wales, which is at
present without the means of transit for its immense and valuable
products. .

It will pass through the central portion of the great coal-field of
Glamorganshire, where iron-stone also abounds with the coal in im-
mense quantities, and laying, geologically speaking, nearly flat, and,
obtainable, for the
Most part, by proper levels. The coal in addition
to its being of excellent quality for iron making, as is proved at Mer-
thyr and Aberdare, is also, like that of those distriots, of the very
best description for steam purposes, being nearly smokeless, although
inflammable, indeed so pre-eminently is the superiority of this de-
scription of coal established for steam purposes over any other,
that the demand for it tar exceeds the supply, and promises, accord-
ing to the opinion of the most eminent marine engineers, to super-
sede all others for purposes of steam navigation. This source of
traits alone will afford a handsome return for the capital invested,
as has been demonstrated in every instance where even tram-roads or
canals have been constructed to open the mineral resources of other
less promising Tallies in Wales than the Rhondda, which is cele-
brated for the abtuidance, quality, and facility of obtaining its pro-
ductions.
An inexhaustible supply of limestone (so necessary for the manu-
facture of iron and for agricultural purposes) may be obtained by
means of this Railway, much nearer and cheaper than by any other
line.

This line will afford to the increasing population of the rich vales
of Ely and Rhondda a much desired communication with the great
market town and port of Cardiff, from whence, at present, they may
be said to be airaost excluded.

It is intended that the line shall commence at Blaen Rhondda, the
head of the Rhondda Valley, and proceed down by a natural pass
between the hills at Filed Amws, a distance of eight miles, where it
will enter the Ely Valley and proceed down (a further distance of
six miles) to Lanelay-bridge, near Lantrissent, and there join the
South Wales Railway, thus openiag a communication under the most
advantageous circumstances as to distance, with all the ports in the
Bristol channel. _ . .

A preliminary survey has already been made by competent par-
ties, and it is found that the country admits of highly favourable
gradients, so ouch so that it is confidently anticipated that the
works will be executed very consiierably under the advertised ca-
pital.
The landowners along the line are favourable to this audertaking,
and the names of many influential proprietors will be found on the
Provisional Committee.
No Subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his de-
posit until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of
his subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company shall be under the control of the Managing Directors, to
whom power is given to allot the Shells, and to apply the fluids
of the Company in payment of all the expenses incurred in its forma-
tion, 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 Managing Directors as above), to raise any addi-
tional capital, to extend or abandon any part of the line, to make
branch lines, or enter into any arrangements, by amalgamation or
otherwise, with any other company or companies, and also to nomi-
nate the first Directors of the Company.

At Hastings--Messrs. Smith, Hilder, and Co.
The object of the Company is to effect a direct communication, by
railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also between
Tunbridge Wells and Brighton.

The Hastings line (about twenty-six miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunbridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wadhurst, Lam.
brrhurst, Etchingham, Hurst-green, ltobertsbridge, Whatlington,
and Battle, having its terminus at the western extremity of
Hastings.

The Brighton line (about twenty.two miles in length) will com-
mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton,
passing near Mayfield, Retherfield, Uckfield, Little Horsted, and
Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly
completed, between Lewes and Brighton.
The numerous vis.tors and inhabitants of the fashionable water-
ing.places of Tunbridge-wells, Brighton, and Hastings, wilt thus
not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each
other by railway,—an ad►antage which ought to have been sup-
plied to them before this,—but will also have, respectively, when
the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a con.
tinued and direct railway to the metropolis.
The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly re-
markable for the variety and value of its agricultural produce,
being one of the most extensive hop-districts in England, and not
inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom; and when
it is considered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may,
almost be said, the exclusive market for its productions, the profits
arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must form,
(independent of passenger traffic,) a very large source of revenue
to the shareholders.

Even from the already developed resources of the extensive,
wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines
will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly
entertained, and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company
(which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried
into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to
Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in Eng-
land, as it will then be the great highway of continental tourists.
The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is de-
cidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a
glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily chew.
To the towns of Hastings and St. Leonard's, the greatest advan-
tages must accrue from the establishment of a Railway, bringing
them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the
great lines of which it is the focus, connecting them with every por-
tion of the country. An immense increase in the number of their
opulent visitors must necessarily be the consequence, the climate
of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally considered
equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon.
The Company have in contemplation the formation of a branch,
from the most convenient point on their Hastings line, to win-
cheisea and the town and port of Rye, or to connect that line with
the Hastings and Ashford coast line ; either of which objects can
be =tied out at a very moderate expense, and must considerably
increase the value of the principal project.
To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be
derived from the Hastings line must be great. It will give in-
creased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts
through which it passes, and will complete the railway communi-
cation between Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and
other towns in the county of Kent and Brighton, Chichester,
Portsmouth, Southampt in, and other important towns in the
western parts of the country.
_ _

The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which mast be
materially increased by the estab,ishment of railways) are too
well known to require a detailed statement in this prospectus,
and cannot fail to secure to the shareholders a large interest on
the capital invested.

A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no
part of it has been found to offer engineering difficulties of more
than ordinary character.

The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the amount
of their subscriptions, and in the allotment of shares a preference
will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and other
parties locally interested.
Power will be given in the Act to allow interest at 41. per
cent, per annum, on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines.
The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of
making alterations in the line or branches, and of adopting the
atmospheric principle, if advisable. They aro also determined
on giving strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the
capital, and will thereby be enabled to guarantee low charges for
the conveyance of passengers and goods, and there can be no rea.
sonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full
rate of 101. per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch
lines, or of a reduction of tolls,

The strong feeling in favour of a direct line, evinced on the part
of the public is Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood; the
support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numerous
and strong assurances received in favour of an independent Cora-
pan', leave no doubt of the successful issue of an application to
parliament for an Act next session.

In order that every attention may be secured to local interests,
arrangements are now being made to add the names of gentlemen
of influence and property in the counties of Kent and Sussex, to
the Provisional Committee.
Application for Shares, with a reference, may be made in the
form annexed, to the Solicitor, er to the Secretary, pro tem., at the
temporary Offices of the Company, No. 76, Basingliall.street,
