PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
(Registered Provisionally).
DIRECT INDEPENDENT KENT, SUR-
REY, AND SUSSEX UNION RAILWAY.

Capital 1,500,000, in 75,000 Shares of 20/. each,
Deposit, 2/ 23. per Share.

Temporary Offices—Queen- street Ch+imbers, Queen-street, Cheapside.
This line (which will be constructed on the atmospheric principle,
without a tunnel, or the possibility of collisions), is intended to com-
mence in the Borough, near London-bridge, taking a direct course to
Camberwell, where it will divide, and take the following routes,
viz. :—The Kent branch, through the populous parishes of Peckham,
Peckham Rye, Lewisham, Bromley, Orpington,Chelsfleld, Shoreham,
Otford, Kempsing, Seal, Wrotham, Town Mailing, East Mailing,
Ditton to Maidstone ; the Surrey and Su,sex branch, through Brix-
ton, Brixton-hill, Clapham, !Wham-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Mor-
den, Cheam, Ewell, Epsom, near Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham,
Dorking, Capel, Rnsper, Wareham, Horsham, Nuthurat, West Grin-
stead, Asharst, Enfield, Wiston, Steyning, Bramber, Lancing, Swim-
ling, Broadwater, and on to Worthing.
It is also intended that power be applied for in the Act of Parlia-
ment to construct branch lines from Wrotham to Sevenoaks, from
Peckham-rye to Dulwich and Norwood, and from Clapham to the
South-Western► Railway, thereby accomplishing the most desired ob-
ject of giving that company a City terminus.

It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the passen-
ger traffic alone arising from the densely-populated parishes through
which this line will pass (hitherto unsupplied by railway) will give
this a decided advantage over all other projects, and secure a profit-
able return. The names of a most influential and powerful Com-
mittee, together with the plans and prospectuses, entering fully into
detail, will be pu'Aished in a few days. In the meantime, applica-
tions for shares, forms, and other information, may be obtained of the
solicitors, Messrs. GaiTett and Co., Queen-street-chambers, Queen-
street, Cheapside, London ; or to Mr. M. Coston (broker), 5, Bank-
chambers, Lothbury, London.
