Inasmuch as the existing line 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 communication
to the last-mentioned naval and military depot, this line will pass
through or near to the towns of Bletchingley, Godston, Limpstield,
Westerbam, Seven Oaks, Ightham, Town Mailing, Wrotham, Off-
ham, Snodland, 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 miles.
To the naval and military establishments 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 in that 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 warm support of the principal landowners on the greater part
of the line is pledged to this undertaking.
The Provisional Committee 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.

LOC kL SOLICITOUS.
Messrs. Coombe and Sharland, Town.hall, Gravesend

Messrs. J. and E. Blaker, Lewes.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail-
way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways,
by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with
Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton.
It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail-
way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river
by a steam floating bridge to Gravesend, passing by Wrotham to
Tunbridge, thence by the South-Eastern Railway to Tunbridge
Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton,
Le _

:wes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton.
An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import-
ance of this railway, whether considered in a local or national
point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com-
munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it
passes.
It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of
the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communication, by
way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con.
junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the
shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean.
By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun-
ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy
communication with the whole of the populous and important-
counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and
thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the unconnected
lines north and south of the metropolis.
The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in
times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is
evident.
With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent
and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be
effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the most
distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal
proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have
promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it.
The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found to present
no difficulties to the formation of a good working line.
The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf.
ficient to fulfil the requirements of the undertaking; but a large
accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the
increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering
the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive
lines of railway in that part of the country.
The Committee reserve power to themselves to form a branch
from Wrotham to Chatham.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be
applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en
all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Applications for prospectuses, and also for shares, may be ad-
dressed in the form annexed to George Smith, Esq., Solicitor, 24,
Golden-square; Messrs. Coombe and Sharland, Town.hall, Graves-
end ; Messrs. J. and E. Miler, Lewes ; and also to the following
Sharebrokers :—Messrs. Field, Son, and Bayley, Warnford.court,
Throgmorton-street, London ; Messrs. Harris and Sons, Change-
alley, London; Mr. M. L. Pritchard, Liverpool ; Messrs.
Gardiner and Heap, Manchester ; Mr. Isaac Ironside,
Sheffield ; Messrs. Hirst- and Brooke, Leeds ; Messrs. Hopwood
and Palmer, Plymouth ; Mr. J. B. Mundy, Bath ; Mr. A. Moffatt,
Edinburgh.
To the Provisional Committee of the Brighton, Lewes, Tunbridge
Wells, Gravesend, and Eastern Counties Junction Railway.

I request that you will allot me shares in the proposed
Brighton, Lewes, Tunbridge Wells, Gravesend, and Eastern Counties
Junction Railway ; and I agree to take all such shares, or so many as
may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and to execute
the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when re,
quired sa to do.
