nrill E Plan of the Southeastern Railway Company, as ori-
ginally projected, combined in one Undertaking two great
Lines to Brighton and Dover; but in consequence of the rivalry
of other competing Lines to Brighton, and the necessarily
heavy expense attending a severe parliatnentary contest, it was
considered unadiisable to involve the Dover Line in an opposi-
tion which was anticipated to that to Brighton, and, therefore,
that part of their project was suspended.
An Act for the Southeastern Dover Line having been ob-
tained, the present Company is formed for the purpose of carry-
ing through the Brighton Eine,.with the advantage of having
upwards of Twenty Miles out of Fifty already sanctioned by
Parliament, one of the principal objects of the Legislature
being to encourage, as much as possible, a Junction of Railways
whelp practicable, and thereby prevent unnecessary intersection
of the country.
The distance from London to I3righton will be under fifty
miles. The Line will be direct and nearly straight, and will
not prejudicially affect any ornamental Property; and the Gra-
dients will in no ease exceed twenty feet per mile.
The Southeastern Railway Company, in order to meet the
wishes of the Public, by lessening as much as possible the length
of Tunnels, and at-turtling at the same time the beat and shortest
Line possible to Brighton, intend, by the advice of Mr. Cubitt,
their Engineer, to apply to Parliament in the next Session for
a Bill to enable them to carry into effect a Deviation of their
Lino through the Chalk Ridge at Godstohe, instead of Oxtedi
by means of which, with Gradients not exceeding twenty feet
per mile, the inclined Planes now existing on the Southeaster
Parliamentary Section will be altogether obviated, and the
Tunnel at Godstone brought to less than a mile in length,*
Availing themselves of the above intebtiont, the present
Company propose taking the Brighton Line off from the South-
eastern at Godstone, which will in that case (combined with
sonic further improvements in the Southeastern) become the
most direct and perfect Line to Brighton, as will be seen by an
inspection of the Map accompanying the Prospectus; never-
theless, in case the above Deviation should not be sanctioned
by Parliament, the notices for the Brighton Line will also in-
clude the Junction of the Southeastern at Broadham Green, as
shown by the dotted red line on the Plan.
The advantage of uniting such important places as Brighton
and Dover with the Metropolis by one Line common to both for
so considerable a portion of the whole distance it too obvious to
require continent.
The terminus at Brighton is proposed to be at the south etid
of the Carlton or Richmond Hill, near the upper end of Dorset
Gardens, a point the most central and convenient possible to the
Inhabitants, being equally distant front. Brunswick-square on
the one side, and Kemp Town on the other, and Very near the

extension of the lino from Lewes to:Eastbourne, St. Leonard's,
and Hastings; and power is reserved to the Provisional Com-
mittee to make such an extension of the preterit Line, if un
mature consideration it should he deemed expedient to do so.
The present Company being formed for the purpose of carr7-
ing out the original project of the Soutbeastcto Railway Com-
piny, by the extension of the Brighton portion of their Line, a
preference for Shares will be given to holders of Shares in that
Company, and power is reserved to unite the present with the
Southeastern Railway Company, if such union should be consi-
dered desirable by a General Meeting of the Shareholders of
the two Companies.
It is not consiilered necessary to lay before the Public a de-
tailed account of the traffic 4t Brighton. Its magnitude was 50

of Parliament last Session that a renewal of the subject is totally
