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 eminently adapted 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, in addition to the constant traffic off pastseb 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 Company 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.

QINCE the announcement in this hiper of Mr.
1.4 BUCKINGHAM'S Intention to publish the ORIEN-
TAL HERALD twice a wont'', severe and continued Intl's-
Position has impeded the siceomplistment of his • wishes, by
Incapacitating him for the present from those active exertions
which so material an increase of labour required. In conse.
`IIIETce of this unexpected impediment, he is compelled to defer
the issue of the additional Monthly Number, intended to have
