A T a MEETING of the'COMMITTEE held on the Ifith daf of December, 1024, DAVID POLLOCK, Esq. in . the Chair, Resdived unanimously, That all applications for-Shares be iu future made by Letter (post paid), addressed to the Corn ndttee at Messrs. King and Lukin, No. 6, Gray's-Inn-square, London. N ORFOLK and SUFFOLK RAILROAD. COMPANY. CAPITAL ONE MILLION, In Ten Thousand Shares of XlOO each. The t;ade froth London to' Norwicih, in Bombazeen and 'Crape, is at once extensive and permanent yet the convey. since of goods ii dilatory, expensive, and troublesome. The towns of Chelmsford, Colchester, and ryswich, are places of the first importance ; -and the merchaudize conveyed between them and LonclOn is very considerable. All the Fish consumed through the Counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and a great part uf that brought to London, is obtained from Yarmouth or Lynn. Bury St. Edmund's is a place of great antiquity and wealth, and in it business to a great amount, -in all- the staple produce of this country, is carried on. The modes of convey. ance to these various places are insufficient On the one hand, and extravagant on the other. It is therefore proposed to con struct a hail-Road from London to Norwich, through Chelms ford and Colchester, with a Branch - to Harwich, then to Ips wich, with a Branch to BUry St. Edmund's ; then to Norwich, • With Branches to Yarmouth and to Lynn. The probable cost of the straight line to Norwich . will be - - .£555,000 The Branch from Colchester to Harwich - - 60,000 The Branch from Ipswich to Bury St: Edmund's 90,000 The Branch from Norwich to Yarmouth - - 75,000 The Branch from Norwich to Lynn - 200,000 4980,000 The country through which this Rail-Road and its branches will pass, is emi nent ly a d a pted for that purpose, since it is nearly level every way, and the expence, therefore : cannot be expected to exceed the Capital of the Comp'any. Yarmouth may be considered as the great Quay of the northern coast, and from Harwich there it a very considerable trade in grain and other articles to the Continent. The profits of such an undertaking cannot. ail be reat ; because, i n addition to the constant traffic of f pas t se b ngers g , the trade between London and Norwich is very considerable ; and 'through the whole line of Road, as well direct as branch, the artieles of timber, coals, bricks, lime, and' merchandize of every description, are constantly passing, to a very great The C ompany will be conducted by twelve country anti twelve London Directors. The Capital will be One 31illion, consisting of 10,000 Shares of £lOO each. The deposit on each share is .el. Persons desirous of applying forthe remain. ing Shares, must forward their tenders in writing, immediately, to Messrs. Sir Wm. Kay, Bart.; Price, ISTarryat and Cole nein, Bankers ' Mansion-house-street; or to 111essrs. Wilks and Verbeke, Solicitors, 36, New Broad-street : and must pay into the hands of the above-mentioned Bankers the amount of dePosit on the Shares for which they may tender, and in case a less number of Shares shall be allotted thin tho'te tendered and paid for, the proportion of the deposit overpaid will be re turned when the Scrip is issued, which will be on an early day in the month of January.

Sin—Since I had the honour of addressing you on the 10th ult. we have had several partial affairs with the enemy, except in one solitary instance invariably sought for on. our part, and all ending in the same brilliant manner that has hitherto marked the gallant and intrepid conduct of the troops under my command. About . the.co t t ,oe, los month 'it was stated by some prisoners of war, and corroborated by a few Rangoon people who had escap e d f rom th e : jungle, that the Burmese Chief had received positive orders froto:Court to make a gene ral attack upon our line, and .drive us at once out of the coun try. Every movement of the enemy plainly indicated that something was intended large birdies of troops were, for two successive days, seen crossing the river above Kemen dine, from the Dallah to the. Rangoon side, and I felt the more inclined to give credit to the' report, from being well aware that had any such order been received by the Burman General, certain disgrace or even decapitation would be the inevitable consequence of his disobeying it. On the Morn ing of the Ist inst. every doubt'on the subject was removed.— Three % columns of the enemy, estimated at 1,000 men each, were seen crossing the front of purposition, moving towards our right : and the jungle in front of the Great Dagon Pagoda, and along th'e whole extent of our line to the left, was oceu. pied by a large force ; but on this side. front the nature of the ground, it waa impossible to ascertain either the disposition or strength of' the enemy. The columns moving on our right soon came in contact with the piquets of the 7th and :IN regi ments of Madras Native Infantry, :which received the attack with the greatest steadiness, none of them yielding one inch of ground. The enemy th en p enetrate d i n considerable force he t ween 'two of our piquets, and took post on a hill about 400 yards from our position, occupying an old Pagoda and some houses in front, from which they commenced a feeble and harmless fire front some jingals and swivels. I instantly re paired to the point of attack with a gun and a howitzer from the Bengal Artillery, and 3 companies of Native inflinfry, viz., one company of the 7th and two of the '3.'d regiment, the whole under the command of Captain Jones of the latter corps._ After a short but well directed tire from the artillery, I ordered Captain Jones to advance with his 3 companies and drive the enemy from his post at the point of bayonet, and 1 had the satisfaction of seeing my orders carried into erect in the most cool and gallant style, the enemy dying in every direction to wards their favourable haunt and only place of safety, the jtingle; During the fire tin our right, patties of the enemy felt the punreta along our line to• the - left, bat never appeared in any force, and retired on the first tire front our advanced posts. Titus ended the mighty attack that was to have driven us into the sea : defeated with the greatest ease by $ weak companies of mepoye and two pieces of artillery Officinal' such an enemy might be well 4ppulfed at the appearance of the whole British line under arms. From some prisoners who were 'taken,. J am informed that 12,0011 men were marched to the tared: ; the left columns. were ordered to engage with vigour, and es soon as they , had suc ceeded in penetrating our line, the - attack was then to have be come genital. Such were the orders issued—but nothing more contemptible than the conduct of the enemy on that. day was ever witnessed. They , paid for their folly, by leaving at least one hundred meti•dead on the field. NV e had - not one man either killed or wounded. Before day-light **tale following morning same hundred men of the Ilallah fore e ente re d t h e tawa or ballah, tiring in the direction of our Poo. Capt. l saa ck, of the o,ll.l4adras Native Infantry, commanding. pu s h e d f urwar a with a few men, and was, I regret to say, un f ortunately shot—the Burmese motUt. }sted his body with the moat savage brutality during the few, minutes it remained in their power. While the enemy. abstained from converting their town to the purpow-of annoying us,. I also respected and afforded it every protection, although uninhabit e d b y one i n di v id ua l ; b ut w h en they thought proper. to make It a mighty scene of savage war fare, I razed it to the ground. Numerous reinforcements daily join the enemy's army in our front; a thing much to he desired, as tendingl, to WercuAefhe distress and discontent already prevailing in their lines ; and having observed a disposition to re-cr oss part of t h e i r f orce to t h e Dallah side Of the river, I determined tin the tith inst. to make as general an - attack as the very woody and Inundated - state of the country would possibly admit of. For that purpose I formed the force to be employed into two colunms of attack; one . pro ceeding by land under th e - co mman d ot ' t h at excellent and Inde fatigable officer, Brigadier General ill‘Bean, , for the purpose of surrounding the enemy on the-laud aide, while I with the other proceeded by water to attack their stockaded position along the banks of the river in front. To this post the enemy appeared to attach the greatest importance, and the stockades were so constructed as to afford mutual support, presenting difficulties apparently clot to be overcome without a great sacrifice of I therefore resolved to try the effect of shelling, and consulted with Captain Marryat upon the employment of such armed vessels as he might select to breach, in the event of our mortar practice not s uc cee di ng . Th e shells were thrown at too great a distance to produce the desired effect, and the swampy state of the country would not admit of any advance. The armed ves sels, viz, the Statellite transport, lately in His Majesty's service, the /Jon. Company's cruisers Teignmouth and Thetis coin mantled by Captain Hardy and - Lieutenant Greer, and the Pe nang Government yacht, the Jessie, Captain Poynton, the whole under the command of Lieut. Fraser, of II is Majesty's ship Larne, now took their stations according to a disposition made by Captain Marva:, and opened it fire which soon silen ced that of fourteen pieces of artillery, swivels, and musketry from the stockades, and in one hour the preconcerted signal of breach practicable was displayed at the mainmast head. The troops, as previously arranged, entere d th e i r b oats on t h e s i gna l being made, consisting of a detail of 3d, 10th, and 17th Native Infantry, commanded by Captain Wallah of the latter corps, ordered to lead the attack, and supranied by Lieut. Colonel .Goodwin with 260 men of His Altawiff's 41st Regiment, and one company from the /lon. Company's Madras European Re giment. The assault was made in the best order and hand somest style; Major %Vian) with the Native Infantry landed, and hniviedietely attacked the bre a ch, w hil e Li eut . C o l onel Godwin, almost at the same instant, pushed ashore a little high er up, and entered the work by escalade; the enemy kept tip a sharp but ill-directed tire, while the troops were landing, but as usual tied on otir making a lodgment in the place. I now ordered Colonel Godwin to re-embark with the detachment of the 41st Regiment, and attack the second stockade, which wits immediately carried in the same style. The third stockade was evacuated by the enemy. The cool and gallant conduct of both European anti Native troops on this occasion was to me a most gratitymg sight. To th e o tlic Q rs and mend the breaching vessel every praise is due ; and I must regret that severe indisposition prevented Captain arryttt froM being present to witness the result of his arrange. ments. _ The inundated state of the country did not admit of any com munication with Brigadier-Oeneral Macllenn from the ship , ping, nor dill I know the result of the opmtions of his cultiniv until I returned to Rangoon in the evening. Nothing room be more brilliant and successful. Ile took •by assault lifer strong stockades in the most rapid succeaiiion, titrowivd the enemy into the utmost consternation ; and he had also inc 11t'od fortune to fall in with a large body Hying from t h e co at/ale at tacked by the shipping, of whom a great numb e r sere killed.

In addition to what we gave yesterday from Rangoon, and the official dispatches to , day, we havi'td cominutileate the'fact of another successful attack on stockades, not before mentioned, either by ourselves or in the Government Gazette. Our letters state that the day before the Alligator sailed, intelligence was brno.ths that two thousand men had assembled in neighbouring stockades. A brigade was dispatched to see what they were shout. The enemy fled at the approach of our troops, and three stockades were on that day taken and destroyed without firing a musket. The same letters speak in animated terms of the spirit and gallantry of the troops. We have not heard any further particulars, excepting that it, was rumoured at Rangoon that. the Bengal Division of the army would be removed to Uhittagong, leaving Rangoon to the care of the Madras force. An attack on Pegu was also talked of. ( John Bull, July 20.) (rtventru PARTICULARS FROM TILE SUPPLEMENT TO THE BOMBAY COURIER OF Tile 21ST AUGUST.) INTELLIGENCE FROM RANGOON. We are happy in being able to lay the following particulars before our readers :—We before mentioned that the position oe. cupled by our troops in advance was very strong; notwithstand ing this, on the Ist inst. about noon, the enemy, who had bean actually engaged in concentrating his force fur many days ad vanced in great numbers, directly in front, shouting and cheer. iug. Our men were kept quiet and steady till they reached a ridge of a copse of wood close to our advanced sentries. At this spot they had about tWO thou sand nwn h aving lett about the &One number a short distance in the rear Ey way of reserve ; and it was believed that they had a much larger force in the back ground, When they got into the copse they opened a fire of musketry and jingala. As it was now evident they intended a n a tt ac k on the Sepoy lines between our strongly advanced posts and the town, fifty Sepoys were detached to feel their intentions. The enemy attacked then ; but on the Sepoys advancing to the charge, the whole two thousand went the right shout and tied, chased by the Sewn% who killed and wounded about fifty of them without the smallest casualty on our part. From what could be learnt they had not more than 125 muskets and 26 jin gals on swivels among the whole two thousand. The remainder were armed with spears, swords, arid some even with sticks.— To add to their mishap, it so chanced that 200 of the 13th Light Infantry, and 200 of his Majesty's 38th regiment.under Majors Frith anti Rennie t had that morning been out on different r o a d s to reconnoitre, and fell in with the unfortunate fugitives in their retreat. We have not heard what loss the enemy sustained from these meetings. The following anecdote is mentioned :—" A Lance Corporal of the 13th Light Infantry, who was employed iu a boat in a small creek, was much annoyed by the enemy. lie with two of his comrades prepared an ambush. In a short time a boat full of the enemy came down. The trio tired when they cunt, killed tao, and wounded o ne . Th e remainder jumped over board and swam away, with t h eexce p t i o n of two who c l ung to the boat with the wo un d e d man . The corporal having no ot h er means of getting at th em , l i ft Warms and swam to th e boat, when he made th em girt in and rose him to the shore. Ile afterwards bro ug h t all" of them in as prisoners," On the oth inst. 100 men from each of the European regiments were tie- 1 niched in t wo par ties, viz. those from the 13th Light Infantry, ! 41st, and M s ./mot European regiment, went to the right, those from th e posh and 119th to the left. The object was to recon. Mitre Mr party of the enemy said to be at work in a v er y thi c k wood about a mile from our posts. Both parties in going p as se la stockade without seeing it; one of them about lOU , eartitfrom it, the other at a shorter distance. The party to the r efit, in returning home, came suddenly upon it, anti were for short time exposed to a heavy fire from it, while the scaling ladders were being brought up by the poineers. On their arri. vat, the detachments of the 13th, and the Madras European regiment instantly stormed anti carried the place. Captain ltarrutt, who commanded the detachments of the 13th, we regret to say, was wounded in the arm, which had since been amputated. Several men were also wounded, some with bricks and stones ; none killed. The enemy, the instant our men mounted the ladders, Pied over the other side of the stockade and escaped. On the tith, a large force under Brigadiers 111'Bean and M'Creagh, consistin of 250 m en f ro n t each European regi ment anti about 3tlo g _ Native Infantry, were sent to attack three ated l large stockades about four mil es u p t he river. On arriving at the spot the advance, un d er Brigadier 11Pereagh, was h and formed in close column s o f regiments a; they arrived.... After reconnoitering the position, lien. bil‘Bean ordered 600 awn of his Alajexty a 13th Light Infantry and 33th regiment under Major Sal e o f t h e f or mer regiment, supported by 200 Native Infantry, t o esca l a d e the nearest stockade. The men moved ofrwith th e i r arms Wang across there shoulders, and ad. vaned to the pla ce w ithout Ming a skot. The poineers be haved admirably, placing the ladders with much coolness and prevision. The troops mounted very steadily—took the stock ade, and put every man to the sword, without a single man being wounded un our Bide ; about 200 of the enemy were killed here. The detachments of the 13th and 38th then re. PRICE SEVENPTNCZ. moved outside, while that of the 89th moved to attack a stock ade to the left. Both partieS were fired upon from another large one on the right, when the 13th and 38th, having only two lad tiers, instantly attacked.it, and carried it also, without meek ing a single wound. About 100 of the enemy wer.: killed here. On gettingposseasion of this stockade it was tbund to be one of a chain.of four—the last the strongest of all. , The second and third were carried with some trouble, not a scaling ladder hav ing been left. This was also effected without loss beyond two or three wounded. In these stockades the .enemy , lost about 150, making their loss, by this party alone to this point, 550. So many men had been left in the captured stockades, that on securing the third only 100 men were left to attack the strongest of all, bring nearly-12 'feet high, and containing not less than 1,090 men,rand having 20 gaits, and as it afterwards appeared . contained all the ChiLiS. With these, heivever'Major, Sale; succeeded in clearing one • face of the work, by taking post at a small port hole for one of the guns,.ansi firing muskets as they were handed up to him— every that telling. After a short time the body of the enemy went over to-the other side of the stockade; the Major with a few men got over the stockade. - At the same time a party of men had found a wicket which they forced, and entered the work. About 400 of the enemy instantly fell _it sacrifice— with the less on our part of 3 killed and about 14 wounded. Among the latter. Captain Johnson, of his Majesty 13th Re giment. During the storm one of the 'Burmese Chief's rushed out of a but and attacked a private of the 13th with his sword. He Contrived to unscrew the bayonet, and made a cut at his head, which passed through the top of his cap, through th e twisted braid , and even the scales, but without touching his head. TN man staggered from the blow, and a s e cond was just about to cut him down. The Wit, however, was parried. by- Major Sale, who made a cut at the Chief. The latter par tially peeled it, but not effectually—for the Major's sword en tered his skull and broke in two. He was, therefote, obliged afterwards to use his fallen enemy's golden one. While this was going on on the Rangoon vide, under Briga dier General Mtßean, Sir Archibald Campbell, with 250 of the 31st Regiment and about the same number of Native Infantry, with the flotilla, attacked and took three stockades alluded to in our editorial notice. Two hundred of the enemy were killed in these, anti it is supposed at l east s i x h un d re d were woun d ed. Twelve pieces of cannon fell into our hands here. The terror created among the Burmese by these affairs is said to be exces sive. Upwards of 900 bodies were found dead ; of these, nearly 600 in the stockade last taken by th e d etac h ments of the 13th and 30th under Major Sale. Ills conduct, in every letter we have seen, is stated - to have been truly distinguished—and as it is said thatmore than twenty of the enemy fell by his sword. After securing the golden one of' the Chief he had killed, he was opposed to another with a silver one—which sifter a very short contest also came into his possession. It is supposed that from both attacks the Burmese did not sustain a loss of less than 3000 men killed and wounded. The stockade, which has been represented as so formidable, is now considered as nothing. The ladders are placed, our men mount, the enemy take to their heels. The affairs of the Bth have inspired fresh spirits into all our troops, which had begun to droop a little from provisions nut being over plenty. By this time the scarcity must have disap peared on the arrival of the vessels from this place ; some of which we yesterday stated had entered the river as the Alligator was coming out. A few days before the affairs of the Oth, the Burmese, who arc stated at 14.000 lighting men, made an attack on our ship. ping by sending among them 60 or 60 tire rafts, and they ac companied this water nttack exactly at the same time with an assault of the llriiiait lines, which ended in their.deleat ;while the raft did no mischief to the ships. It is singular that in all the atiltirs of the Oth we only lost three men killed and one officer and thirty men 'wounded. The officer wounded is Capt. Johnson of the 13th, who received a ball in the shoulder, which has been extracted at the breast. Brigadier General ;11‘Bean's force took and destroyed ten pieces of cannon, Nome of which were brass and of a rather su perior kind. It is said at Rangoon, on the' fiththat a deputation was on its way from Ava, to try to come to terms of peace. The Bur mese, however, are not represented as likely to submit until they get such another defeat as they experienced on the Bth. The same fever now raging in Calcutta was prevailing at Ran goon; at the date of the letters few had escaped it ; bet there were scarcely any deaths lions it. The letters do not speak ofadvancing up the Irrawaddy ; in deed some doubt the practicability. (Front the Calcutta Government Gazette ofJuly 3.) Tiix EPI AI le.—The epidemic fever which we adverted to lately, continues to prevail throughout Calcutta, and it is sup. posed that already about three.tburths of the population, both European and Native, have been atfected by it. The disease is attended with intense headache, violent pains in the limbs, and red inflammatory patches all over the body. When these symptoms, which generally last three or four days, are removed, extreme languor and debility remain for some time. ‘thole families are startling under the complaint together, and in. many houses scarcely a servant is left to wait upon the sick. Fortunately, no fatal cases have occurred, at least not one has come within our knowledge. Nearly three-fourths gout press establishment are laid up with the same disease, and a few days ago, in one public °dice in town, only three assistants out of forty-five, were aisle to attend to their duty. The Hon. Company's ship Research, with the pilot-vessels Cecilia, Torch Planet, and Henry Almon left the Chittagong river yesterday fig Cheduba, having on board three companies gibe 2tl battalion, 211th; fitly European artillerymen; two six pounders, and two howitzers, under the command of Lieutenant K. Ciunpbell, of the 43d regiment Native infantry. It is rumoured that an attack is meditated on the island by our goldcn.fboted friends ; and it is not very improbable that they will make the attempt, considering the tew troops we have there. Lieutenant Mt tham of our division of artillery proceeds in charge of the guns. Captain Webb, of the artillery, and Lieutenant Brown, of His lilajesty's 44th regiment, proceed in the vessels to Cheduba, on lick certificate, and on the arrival of the vessels at the island, they go thence to Calcutta in the Ct. cilia, which has been ordered to that place after landing the troops. The Henry Merton and one of the other pilut.vessels remain at Cheduba, and the Research will turn to Chittagong, surveying the coast on her trip back." , tuamrsz WAR.—t hat It 13 not in this war along at the sufferings of India are centered. Bombay, Madras, and the upper provinces of Bengal, are threatened with a famine. At Bombay, when the last ad vices came away', only 6 inches of water had fallen, when the average quantity during many years, at the same season, was upwards of 14 inches. The ti a la n t a ti o le ne " ,cO k r B r i esp w :l l a l i s e i nt an s d ta l tes lve , " tha b t av i e uc b h ee i: t 4:ln h en e alti tl tY ; l 6 " c 'el i rl e li n ede tiy lsu o l !' , water and pasture, that at Poonah the inha bitants have been driving in their cattle, anti selling them as low as at three onnas (about tivepence) per bead. At Madras, by the last accounts, no monsoon had commenced ; and iu the upper provinces of Bengal, in the beginning of August, a strong westerly wind prevailed , unaccompanied by a single drop of rain. The natives attribute all these calamities to the baleful influence of the comet, which hus made its appearance in these regions. The expcnce of the war is enormous: we stated formerly that a crore and a half of rupees had been expended. That aunt has since been increased to two hundred lacs, and the monthy extra expcnce of the war is estimated at 40 hies (about 50,000/.) When we consider, at the same time, the necessary effect of the famine in decreasing the revenue, it is evident that the Treasury of Calcutta will soon be exhausted, and tbaSit will be necessary to draw bills on England for the difference. It is obvioua that the rate of exchange in favour of this country must materially improve, and this solitary fact is all that we have to congratulate ourselves upon in the whole com plexion of the intelligence.' From the same causes which have ruined the grain crop, indigo has failed in every part of the coun. try, save in the Jessore and Dacca districts, and all that can be said of it in that quarter is that it has still some chance, but the fate of the crops for the last three yeses; should prevent our being too sanguine. The crop on the whole will certainly be short, and, from the small quantities of the best qualit ies i n the market, a great advance in price may be anticipated. Saf flower anti the other productions of Syihet and the. eastern trot)* tier, that being the seat of war, must be totally deficient for this year.—( Tekscopt.) • • We learn,. by a private letter from India, that Lieutenant. Colonel er Canada, Al Nlorrison, of the 44th Regiment, has been appointed BrigatlierAieneral on the Chittagong Frontier. This ts the same officer who comm an d e d i n ti the battle of Chtystletis Farm, when, with the 49th ar,4lll9th Regiments, he defeated a much superior force of the Americans, and drove the invading army across the Saint Lawrence. Froukhis known talent and exp er i euce bush-fighting, acquired in America, we consider hint eminently qualified fOr such a command.._.
