SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.
rill-1E Rivalry of other parties proposing to proceed to
IL Brighton, and the necessarily heavy expense which would
. attend a severe parliamentary contest, rendef it unadvjsable
to involve the Dover Line in an opposition which wet be di-
rected against that to Brighton. The Provision irectors
have therefore determined limiting the applicatio o parliament
in the ensuing session to the Kentish Line
They have much satisfaction in stating t they have made
such arrangements with the Southampton Railway Company,
and with the Provisional Directors of Mr. Stephenson's Brigh-
ton Line, as to ensure mutual co-operation and support between
those parties and themselves.
The Directors beg to state, for the information of Subscribers,
that they have submitted the plans, sections, estimates, and
other documents to Mr. Cubitt, the engineer, with the view of
obtaining his opinion in addition to that of their own engineer,
and the following is an extract from Mr. Cubitt's report, dated
Ist Jan., 1836 :—" Looking at the Line as a whole from Wands-
worth to Dover, nothing can be more favourable than the
greater part of it is fur the purpose of a Railway, being for
about 40 miles of the portion between Oxted and Dover almost
on a perfect level, and straight line, so much so, that, in myjudgment, the advantages of that portion of the line will so far
balance the disadvantages of the Croydon division, as to bring
the cost of the whole at per Mile below the average of railways
ingeneral.."

The "Croyden division" alluded to in the above extract com-
prises a distance of 7 miles from Croydon to Oxted, where the
Line is entirely through chalk, but even in this portion the gra-
dients, as stated by Mr. Cubitt in another part of his report, are
niowe favourable than those on a part of the Liverpool and Man-
chester Railway, which has been working with so much profit
and success since its first establishment.
The opinion of Mr. Cubitt, as expressed in his report, is also
highly satisfactory as to the amount of the estimate as calcu-
latedly Mr. Palmer, and which Mr. Cubitt considers as ample
for the execution of the work.

It may be stated with confidence, the the plan comprises a
greater length of straight and level Line than any other which
has been projected in the Kingdom.
