mentary and Engineering Expenses.)

The advantages of Railway Communication, both to the
country through which it passes and to the Projectors,
when prudently undertaken and carried out, are too well
known mid apreciated to need any arguments in its favour.
This Railway will be twenty-five miles in length, and ia
intended to connect the important towns of Hastings,
(including St. Leonardo.) Rye, and Tenterden, and the
adjacent country, with the South Eastern Railway at
Headcorn, and the forms required by the Standing Or-
ders, preparatory to applying for an Act having been com-
plied with, it is intended to go to Parliament in the ensuing
Session, for the necessary powers to carry the undertaking
into effect.

A single line of rails will be quite sufficient for the anti-
cipated traffic of the proposed Railway, and Mr. Erring_
ton on behalf of Mr. Locke. having examined the plans
and sections, has estimated the expense of constructing
a single Line, including bridges for a double line, and sta-
tions and sidings at £3.15,000. The Provisional Com-
mittee, from thir knowledge of the district and from the
best information they can obtain, estimate the cost of
land and compensation, Parliamentary expenses, Etc. at
£55,000, making a total capital of £400,000, which they
feel confident will be amply sufficient for the construction
of the Line.

The Committee have made careful inquiries from the
most authentic sources, namely the Proprietors of Coaches
and other Conveyances on the line of the proposed Rail-
way ; the result of which is given in the annexed Table,
shewing a present traffic of £737 per week, exclusive of a
considerable amount of private traffic, the returns of
which cannot be ascertained.

This traffic, according to the computation allowed by
Parliamentary Committees, as the result of the incrersed
facilities of Railway communication, and which is below
the average, as shewn by experience, would make tbe re-
ceipts on the proposed Railway amount to £1474 per week,
making a gross annual income of .
From which deduct for working expenses 40 per et. 30,660

Leaving a Nett Income of £45,988
Or upwards of 11 per cent on the estimated outlay.
The Committee have the satisfaction to state, that they
have entered into an arrangement with the Directors of
the South Eastern Company (subject to the approbation
of their Proprietors), by which that Company will engage
at any time, within five years from its opening, to take a
lease of the Hastings Line for twenty-one years, at such
a rent as shall guarantee to the Proprietors 4 per cent.
per annum on the cost of its construction to the extent
of the estimate, with a moiety of the nett surplus profits
beyond the rental; thus giving to the Proprietors of this
undertaking the opportunity of working the contemplated
Line themselves for five years, with the option, should it
be deemed more advantageous at any time within that
period, of requiring the South Eastern Company to take
a lease for twenty-one years, at a rental, securing to the
Proprietors a certain fair return for their capital, with a
proportion of the surplus benefits likely to arise from a
union of management, and a consequent reduction of ex-
penses.

- The Committee have looked carefully through the last
Census, and find that the population in the immediate
neighbourhood of the proposed line amounts to upwards
of 60,0000. And upon examining the returns made at
the respective Custom Houses of Hastings and Rye and
Shoreham, the Committee find that the present exports
from Hastings and Rye exceed those of Shoreham, with-
out allowing for any increase, which will unquestionably be
caused by the intended Railway.
Two months' notice will be given of all Calls ; and not
more than £2. 10s. per share will be called for at one
time.

Power will be applied for in the Act to allow interest at
4 per cent. per annum, on Deposits and paid up Calls.
Applications for shares to be made to Messrs. Aaroar.
