The principal objects of the scheme are-Ist. To remedy the evils
of delay and inconvenience to which parties are, at the present time,
necessarily subjected in proceeding from the west end of the metro-
polis to Croydon, or the most distant places on the South-Eastern
and London and Brighton Railways, as well as the several sea ports
and packet-stations on the coasts of Kent and Sussex; and 2d. To
supply to the numerous and wealthy inhabitants of the district
through which the intended line will pass (at present wholly with-
out railway accommodation), a greatly improved means for the in-
terchange of communication with the metropolis, and with each other.
Commencing at the intended terminus of the South-Western Rail-
way, at Hungerford or Waterloo-bridge, the line will take the most
practicable route to Kennington, from thence it will follow as near as
possible the old turnpike road, passing through or near to the
wealthy and populous districts of Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton,
Tulse-hill, Streatham, Norwood, Beulah, and Thornton-heath, effect-
ing a junction at Croydon with the several existing or projected
lines from that place.
It is also proposed to form a branch or branches from the neigh-
bourhood of Streatham to Mitcham and Tooting, and thus to extend
to those places, and their respective neighbourhoods, the advantages
of a direct railway communication with the metropolis.

A great portion of the traffic in passengers and goods upon the
Brighton and Dover lines is supplied from the west-end of London
and the Birmingham and Great Western Railways. The necessity
of proceeding to the station at London-bridge, and by the present
circuitous route to Croydon, is a serious and unnecessary inconveni-
ence, entailing, additional expense and delay. The removal of this
long-felt grievance is a leading object with the promoters of the pre-
sent undertaking. They deem it right, however, to observe, in lay-
ingfcc tiTh schemec,,i.
sbeforev,4, tft,t, r
ttihwer
tihmany have
sn on
bdscosliurtee Ivo
nn tdeisr.-
pen s able, but that on the other hand it will be their object to yield
assistance to, and in return endeavour to secure it, from each com-
pany with which, this line may ultimately be connected.
A glanCe at the map will show, that as a branch or arm of the
London and Brighton Railway, this undertaking completes a straight
line of communication from the west end of London to Croydon,
Reigate, and Brighton, and renders the ports of Dover and Folke-
stone, as well as the several places on the South-Eastern line, more
easily accessible from that part of the metropolis.

The great amount of traffic at the present time upon the roads be-
tween Croydon, Mitcham, Tooting, &c., and London, proves at once
that the existing railway facilities do not at all meet the exigencies
of the mass of population to whom this line will be available.
The population who reside upon or In the immediate neighbour-
hood of the proposed line, independent of the metropolis, and between
the intended termini, exceeds 100,000, whose wants are almost
wholly supplied from the London markets, &c., and whe have, at
the present time, 'no mode of conveyance but upon the turnpike
road. In the transit of building materials, corn, coal, lime, and
other heavy goods, from the warehouses and wharfs on the banks of
the Thames, and for marketable produce in each direction, this line
must become to them particularly useful and convenient.
Some idea may be formed of the local necessity of this railway
when it is known that the number of passengers who avail themselves
of the accommodation afforded by the several omnibuses and other
public vehicles, running upon the turnpike-road, have been ascer-
tained to exceed 2,600 daily. An equal number (at least) proceed
by private and other conveyances. Of foot passengers, although
no accurate estimate can be 'formed of them, it is considered that
they at least number ;our times that of passengers who travel by con-
veyance. The tonnage of goods it is calculated will be in hill pro-
portion to the receipt from passengers.
Experience has fully proved, that on however liberal a scale the
probability of future traffic in the transit of goods and passengers has
been judged, almost every line of railway has, upon its completion,
vastly exceeded the calculated amount. There are, however, in this
instance, reasons for supposing that the extended facilities of com-
munication will cause more than an ordinary increase in the con-
veyance of passengers. The country which the line of railway will
open is singularly picturesque and beautiful, and in addition to the
admired districts of Brixton and Streatham, the long-favoured and
much-frequented Beulah and Norwood will be placed within easy
access, and become snore than over, objects of interest and delight
to the visitor and resident of the metropolis.
There can therefore be little doubt but that the present line must
become a profitable and eligible scheme for the investment of capital.
The promoters of this undertaking have pleasure in announcing
that it is approved of, and will be generally supported by local in-
fluence. They have caused a partial survey to be made, which will
be completed shortly, and they have the assurance of their engineers
that there are not snore than ordinary difficulties to contend with.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted, by Act of Parlia-
ment, to the amount of their subscriptions; and power will be applied
for in the Bill to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on all calls
from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
