In submitting this undertaking to the public, the promoters are
Influenced no less by a conviction of its importance as a direct con-
necting lino between the Important towns of Chichester and Ports-
mouth and the metropolis, than by its grand national importance in
affording a direct communication between the two great naval aid
military arsenals of Great 11. stain--Portsmouth and Chatham.

The projected undertaking, by proceeding to the two termini at
Chichester and Portsmouth, will extend the facilities of communica-
tion wit► the coast branches of railwaye along the south of England,
eonnecting itself with Brighton to the eastward, and southa►npton
towards the west. By the main line falling into the Brighton Rail-
way the advantage of two tennini in London will be secured—the
one at ti►e Bricklayers' Arms, and the other at London-bridge—the
latter of which, from its proximity to the Custom House, and the
several docks on the. Thames, is acknowledged to lie tke best positioa
for a London terminus for merchandise of all descriptions.
The line of railway intended I. be constructed by this Comrany will
commence sit or near the Reihill station near Reigate, on the Lon-
don and Brighton Railway, a distance of 21 miles from London-
bridge.

In its course to Portsmouth it will pass through or near Reigate,
Newdigate, Capel, Ockley, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Cranley, Alfold,
Billinghurst, Wisborough-green, Plaistow, Ilaslemere, Chiddlngfold,
North Chapel, Kirdford, Petworth, Midhurst, Chilgrove, Stoughton,
Racton, Westbouree, and Emsworth, at or near which last-mentioned
place this projectedline will join the Chichester and Portsmouth Rail-
way to Portsmouth.

At the earliest recommendation of some of the principal land-
m•ners, branches -are'proposed to be made to Godalming and Peters-
field. The branch to Codalming will be from a point in the main
line between Plaistow and North Chapel; and the branch from
Petersfleld will join the main line at a point between Nidhurst and
Itepton. These extensions of this undertaking have rendered an in-
crease necessary in the amount of the capital originally fixed on ;
but from the increased accommodation which these brandies will
afford, the promoters of the undertaking feel confident that a com-
mensurate profit will result to the shareholder.
A branch is proposed to be made from Dorking to join 'Ma maim
line at or. near Capel.

fly this course the entire distance to travel between London and
Portsmouth will be abridged to 73 miles, a distance considerably
shorter than that by which any line hitherto projected bctweel
London and Port•inouth has proposed t• pass, and also pursuing
a route more populous and productive than any hitherto presented
to public notice. It will involve the construction of only 45 miles of
railway to complete the course between the Redhill station (near
Reigate) -and Emsworth.

Total distance from London to Portsmouth • 73 miles.
From Chilgrove a line of seven miles will be constructed, and
which,will place Chichester in direct communication with London.
The distance between Chichester and London by this route will be
62 miles. .

Trains will run direct between London and Chichester, withou
stopping at Chilgrove.

friasinich as The existing lino of railway to Dover branches off
from the London and Brighton Railroad at Reigate, this projected
line will open up a communication by railroad between Portsmouth
and Dover.

From an inspection of the map, it will be seen that the Redhill
station, near Reigate, lies nearly in a direct line between Ports-
mouth and Chatham, and in pursuing the line of communicaties
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpsfield,
Westerham, Seven Oaks, Ightliam, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Oft.
ham, Sitodiand, Lower Hailing, and Wouldham.
The distance between Chatham and Reigate will Involve the
making of 31 miles of railroad, and the line of railroad between
Portsmouth and Chatham will extent over 82

To the naval and military establiahmenti of this kingdom the
construction of this projected line will afford the most important fa-
cilities in the transit of troops, stores, baggage, &c. &c., diminishing
the tardy course of communication which at present necessarily
exists between Portsmouth and Chatham, at present usually extend-
ing over the space of two days, and placing them htthat direct com-
munication with each other which, in two hours, or thereabout,
will enable the journey between them to be made.
The formation of a direct line of railway between Portsmouth
and Chatham will afford the opportunity of establishing, by the
electric telegraph, that celerity of communication so important to be
obtained between places of national importance.
_ _

The warns support of the principal landowners on the seater part
of the lin, is pledged to this undertaking.

The Provisional Cotmnittee abstain from making any special re-
ference to the contemplated profit to result from carrying into effect
this undertaking, feeling convinced that the extent of traffic through
the populous and rich districts over which this line and its branches
are projected to pass Is sufficiently known, and is decisive of the
Inutility of all comment in that respect.
