PROSPECTUS.
This line will pass in a direct course from Tunbridge, via Paddock-
wood (thus connecting itself with 'Maidstone), through the parishes
of Brenchley, Horsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Beuenden,
Hawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northiam, Peas-
marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour of
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent unprovided with, and much Requiring the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great
portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining
part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely
to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary
to interfere with any residences or ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line, will be considerable.

( With power to add to their number).

JOINT SOLICITORS TO THE COMPANY.
Messrs. Dickson and Overbury, 4, Frederick's-place, Old Jewry,
London
Edward John Teale, Esq. Leeds.

The capital required is estimated not to exceed 500,0001.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for
a similar line, partially embracing the same country, when it
was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee,
that the contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for work-
ing expenses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested
capital. That line was rejected on the ground that the beat direc-
tion had not been selected, but with an intimation that the port of
Rye was e:.titled to a direct railway communication with the inte-
rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pre-
sent schethe has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage
of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation,
and as it embraces a more populous and producthe country, and
passes in a more direct line to London, and will have the benefit of
better access to other and more numerous lines, the sources of traffic
are considerably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from
what passed during the last session, that the present plan will be
favourably entertained by the Legislature.
The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit of a
railway communication, through a populous and productive district,
in the direction of 1 ondon, to the best point at which it can avail
itselfof the existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other
manures, are of great importance to the country through which the
line will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much
increase the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great im-
provement in the cultivation of the adjacent country.
A railway through the heart of the chief hop district of the king-
dom, also producing corn, timber, and hop-poles, and communicating
at its terminus with a great part of the important cattle district of
Romney Marsh, must be a public advantage.
The port of Rye is admitted to be the best outlet and quickest
rout to Paris and to other parts of the Continent, and there can be
no doubt if a direct railway should be made to Rye, with moderate
improvement in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particit-
cularly as a national and commercial communication with France,
and by persons travelling on business.

It is proposed by this Company to establish a direct line of commu-
nication between Birmingham, Nottingham, Gainsborough, and Hull,
at the smallest outlay of capital, and with the least possible injury to
existing interests. To effect this object, use will be made of existing
or projected lines, as far as practicable, and the chain of communica-
tion will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite.
Commencing at Birmingham, it is proposed to use the Birmingham
and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29
miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zouch and
Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid-
land Counties Railway
'I he communication being thus perfect to Nottingham, it will be
carried .Orward as far as Gainsborough, either by the proposed Not-
tingham and Gainsborough Railway, or by a line springing out of the
line from Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by
the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament.
From Gainsborough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the-
Humber, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby
rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between
Birmingham and Hull.
By this project the advantages will result to the public of a
Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham,
Birmingham to Gainsborough,
and from Birmingham to Hull;
and by means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway,
and the intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a
direct line from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham, and
the other towns already enumerated.
The support of several companies will be enlisted in favour of the
lice, which, together with its own merits, will ensure its success in
Parliament.
As a considerable portion of the line of communication is already
made, or in progress, the time required for the completion of this
great national undertaking will be materially shortened.
Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu-
nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and
manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large
traffic in timber, corn, metals, &c., may be confidently expected.
The revenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the
great thorough traffic from Birmingham and the midland counties to
Nottingham and Gainsborough, and the immense traffic from Bir-
mingham to Hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Ham-
burgh, the German States, and the North of Europe ; and from the
conveyance of merchandise, agricultural produce, and cattle from the
southern, western, and midland counties.
A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners
on the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and
shareholders in railways interested in supporting this undertaking.
No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his
subscription.
The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate offour
per cent. from the time of payment upon each call until the opening
of the line.
No applications will he attended to without a reference to a
member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company.
The Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be
executed when the bankers' receipts are exchanged for scrip certifi-
cates, of which due notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by
any party making, default in the execution of those deeds will be for-
feited.
