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, Benenden,
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 25 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.
The capital required is estimated not to exceed 600,0001.
During the last session of Parliament application was made for a
similar Hue, partially embracing the same country, when It was
Chown in detail by evidence produced before the Committee, that the
contemplated traffic, after deducting 401. per cent. for working ex-
penses, would leave a large per centage upon the invested capital.
That line was rejected on the ground that the best direction had not
been selected, but with an intimation that the port of Rye was en-
titled to a direct railway communication with the interior of the
country, in the best direction towards London. The present scheme
has been based upon this intimation, taking advantage of the merits
and defects which appeared upon that investigation, and as it em-
braces a more populous and productive 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 consider-
ably increased, and there is every reason to believe, from what passed
during the last session, that the present plan will be favourably enter-
tained 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 London, to the best point at which it can avail itself
of the existing and contemplated lines.
The imports of Rye, particularly coals, with lime and other ma-
nures, are of great importance to the country through which this line
will pass, and a cheaper and better mode of transit will much increase
the demand for them, and give the opportunity of great improvement
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 route
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 a moderate improve-
ment in the harbour, that it would be much adopted, particularly as
a national and commercial communication with France, and by per-
sons travelling on business.
Application for shares and prospectuses to be: addressed to the
Secretary, at the Offices, 94, Cheapside ; Messrs. Willis and Neve,
solicitors Cranbrook ; Mr. John Elliot Wilson, solicitor, Cranbrook ;

LOCAL AGENT—William Hirst, Esq., Boroughbridge.

This railway is intended to commence at or near to the Alne sta-
tion on the Great North of England Railway, to proceed by way of
Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Dishforth, and to terminate at the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway near to Wath, at a junction with, and so
as to form an eastern continuation of, the Yorkshire and Glasgow
Union Railway.

The length of the line will be about thirteen miles, and, in forming
it, three objeers are in view :

let. To accommodate Boroughbridge, and a great extent of highly
fertile and productive country hitherto entirely devoid of railway
communication.

2d. To form a connecting link between the Great North of Eng-
land Railway, and the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Railway, and
thereby connect with this project part of the trunk lines from Hull,
Selby, York, Beverley, Marketweighton, Poeklington, Scarborough,
Whitby, Pickering, Melton, &c., and the ea-tern districts to Carlisle,
and the west of Scotland by the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, which
passes through Bedale, Leyburn, Askrigg, Hawes, Kirkby, Stephen
Appleby, and forming a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway near Penrith.
3d. To supply the district in question with coal from the pits in the
neighbourhood of Leeds, and from those of Durham by means of the
Leeds and Thirsk Railway and its extension. To afford accommoda-
tion to the town of Boroughbridge and its locality by connecting it
with Carlisle, Durham, Hull, Ripon, York, Scarborough, &c., which
this project will do to a much greater extent than would have been
afforded by the Pill Moor branch of last session, from the Great
North of England Railway to Boroughbridge, inasmuch as this line
will give an outlet is both a northern and eastern direction, whilst
that of last session would have afforded merely a northern one.
The country is level, requiring no tunnel, and very little cutting or
embanking, and the line will consequently be of easy construction.
The cost will be comparatively light, and all residential annoyance
scheme will, on reference to the
orTithkieurLtoinigiroopfer,tiyistwanilelebbeyavtohitsded.
map, be seen to be very considerable, especially with regard to rail-
way communication between the cities of Ripon and York, Wath
being only four miles north-east of Ripon; and this line, in con-
nexion with the Leeds and Thirsk Railway (which runs through that
city), forming a continuous, as well as the shortest and best, line of
railway between Ripon and York.
In the allotment of shares preference will be given to landowners
and others locally interested on the line.
Applications for shares (accompanied by a respectable reference) to
be made to the solicitor or agents in the annexed form:—

This undertaking is projected bylnduential locaterests to supply
the requirements of the above important district; and a reference to
the map will show that it will also complete the communication be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermediate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and James Thompson, Esq., and the country is found to be fa-
vourable to the construction of a railway ; and there is, perhaps, no
line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively
so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine m Iles ; and by
means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeis and the metro-
polis exceeding twenty-five miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
