This railway is projected to form a direct communication between
Brighton and Tonbridge Wells. It will commence at a point of
junction with the Brighton and Lewes Railway at the town of
' Lewes, and proceeding by the Valley of the Ouse, pass by Uckfleld
and Rotherfield, thence following the valley to Groombridge, proceed
to Tonbridge Wells, and there form a junction with the Tonbridge
Wells branch of the South-Eastern Railway.
The length of the line will be about twenty-two miles. The neces-
sity and advantages of this line of railway are sell-evident—it will
connect Brighton immediately with the populous and fashionable
neighbonrhood of Tonbridge Wells, and more mediately it will con-
nect Southampton, Portsmouth, Chichester, and the ports of the
western coast of Sussex, with the important towns of Maidstone,
Chatham, Rochester, Canterbury, and Dover; thus effecting the
greatly desired object of the shortest and most rapid communication
between Dover and Southampton. The internal communication
between Kent and Sussex will be thus rendered complete.
The following towns and populous villages are in constant trading
communication with Lewes and Brighton, awl will be accommodated
by this line :—Bereombe, Ringmer, Istield, Little Horsted, Lichfield
Maresfield, Framfield, East Hoatilly, Mayfield, Withyleam, Wadhurst,
Newhaven, anti Harbour, 'Waldron, Fletching, Iluxted, Rotherfield,
Lamberhurst, Front, Ticeliurst, Groomlyidge, Hartfield, Ashurst.
The existing local traffic will thus be alone sufficient to prove
highly remunerative, exclusive of the great passenger and goods
traffic that must of necessity flow into this course as soon as the ne-
cessary accommodation is afforded. Detailed traffic tables are is
course of preparation. The preliminary surveys have been com-
pleted, and no difficulties, engineering or otherwise, present them-
selyes, but, on the coutrktilen this railway will be of facile construc-
tion, and easy gradie
The line has been
ted to the Earl of Liverpool and the Earl irit
of Aeergavenny, throw whose lands the line will run for eeveral
miles, and has been approved liy them.
The other landowners generally are favourable to this line, to
which they have pledged their support.
The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on all paid-up calls from the passing
of the Act until the completion of the line, and the liablity of the
shareholders will be limited to the amount of the subscription.
Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of this
Company will be tinder the control of the Committee of Management
for the time being, to whom power is given to allot the shares, and
to apply the funds of the Company in payment of all the expenses
incurred in its formation, and in the preparation of the plans and
sections to tie submitted to Parliament.

Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime is hereby
given to the Committee of Management, as above, to raise any ad-
ditional capital, to abandon any part of the line, to make branch
lines, or enter into any arrangements with any other company or
companies, and also to nominate the first Directors of he Company.
Applications for copies of the prospectus and shares, in the usual
form, may be made to the promoter, William Hallett, Esq., Brighton;

This Cempany is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to
Derby, and will,
in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby
Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest
route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and
Proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Hallway to within a
short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off,
in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and
Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail-
way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole
length of the proposed line will be about sixty-91x miles. It will be
seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will
form the shortest route fronaiverpool to London, and effect a direct
chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will
thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin-
terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete
midland communication between the eastern and western parts of
the kingdom and the importantintermedlate manufacturing districts.

The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the
shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by itavith the
Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will Tw only
168 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and bY thA
Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles./11"
one instance, and 1234 miles in the other.

And a‘ regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between
Liverpool and Darby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles,
thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least
46 miles; an advantage which carries in itself the conviction of the
necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more
immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns
are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant
localities, as before adverted to.

The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed
railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway)
will be about 30 miles, and front Leek to Derby about 26%
making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56%
miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi-
cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object
most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom-
mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results.
But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out-
weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction
with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the
most direct route from Liverpool to London.

The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc-
tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47)4 miles;
from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man•
chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and frem Rugby to
Loudon $3 miles ; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to
London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route.

With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the
working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great
importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication
with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source
of revenue thus derived will be immense.

There are no engineering difficulties connected with the forming of
the line.

The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on thst, share-
holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament, is
obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. perciin
interest on all calls.
