ANOTHER TRIP ON THE EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.
Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, an engine and two carriages
rat and second class) left the Ipswich station, with several of the
directors, on its way to Brantham. There were present—J. C.
Cobbold, Esq., John Cobbold, Esq., J. Footman, Esq., o. jo,seisn,
'Esq., A. H. Bartlett, E-q., several ladies, as also some engineers
And townspeople. The party proceeded as far as Brantham, at which
place the company alighted and observed the progress of the works.
The directors then took a poet-chaise for London (for the purpose, as
we understand, of being present at some Parliamentary proceedings
In which this district is interested), and theother portion of the com-
pany again entered the carriages, and arrived safely at Ipswich at
s little before nine. The train would have proceeded to Colchester,
but the workmen were engaged on the line near to Minningtree, and
it was not deemed desirable to stop them in their operations. We
understand the whole line Is in rnrith better order.—lpstcich Ezpress
