WILLIAM BURY, Sec.

NORFOLK, SUFFOLK, and ESSEX RAIL-ROAD
COMPANY.

CAPITAL ONE MILLION,
In Ten Thousand Shares of ClOO each.

This trade from London to Norwich is at once extensive and per-
manent; yet the conveyance of goods Is dilatory, expensive, and
troublesome. The towns of Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ipswich,
are places of the first importance ; and the merchandise conveyed
between them and London is very considerable. All the Fish con-
sumed through tLe counties of Norfolk and Suffolk, and a great
part of that brought to London, is obtained from Yarmouth or
Lynn. Bury St. Edmund's is a plate of great antiquity and
wealth, and in it business to a considerable amount, in all the
staple produce of this country, is carried on. The modes of con-
veyance to these various places are insufficient on the one hand, and
extravagant on the other. It is therefore proposed to construct
a Rail.d from London to Norwich, through Chelmsford and
Colchester, with a Branch to Harwich, then to Ipswich, 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 .£5.55.000
The Branch from Colchester to Harwich - - 60,000
The Branch from Ipswich to Bury St. Edmund's - 90,000
The Stanch from Norwich to Yarmouth - 75,000
The Branch from Norwich to Lynn . - 200,000

The country through which this Rail-Road and its branches will
pass, is eminently adapted for that purpose, since it is nearly level
every way, and the expense therefore cannot be expected to exceed
the capital of the Company. Yarmouth may be considered as the
great Quay of the northern coast, and from Harwich there is a very
considerable trade in grain and other articles to the Continent.

The profits of such an undertakin„; cannot fail to be great;
because, in addition to the constant traffic of passengers, the trade
between London and Norwich is very considerable ; and through
the whole line of Road, as well direct as branch, the articles of tim-
ber, coals, bricks, lime, and merchandize of every description, are
constantly passing to a very great amount.
The Company will be conducted by twelve country and twelve
London Directors. The Capital will be One Million, consisting
of 10,000 Shares of 1001. each. The deposit on each Share is 11.
Persons desirous of applying for the remaining Shares, must for-
ward their tenders in wnting, on or before WEDNESDAY, the
12th of January, 1823, either to Messrs. Gurney, Bankers, Nor-
wich ; Messrs. Brown and Co. Bankers, Bury St. Edmunds ;

Squire, Esq. Banker, Bury St. Edmunds ; Messrs. Barton, Soli.
citors, Bury St. Edmunds; Messrs. Sir Wm. Kay, Ban., Price,
Marryat, and Coleman, Bankers, Mansion-llouse.street, London ;
Messrs. Edmunds and Wolfe, Brokers, 'Change-alley; or to
Messrs. With, and Verbeke, Solicitors, 36, New Proad-street ;
and must pay into the hands of the above-mentioned Rankers the
amount of deposit on the Shares for which they may tender, and in
case a less number of Shares shall be allotted than those tendered
and paid for, the proportion of the deposit overpaid will be returned
when the Scrip is issued, which will be on as early a day this month
as the preliminary arrangements will admit.
