1. It was resolved unanimously, that a Railway communication
between the metropolis and the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and
Norfolk, is now become absolutely necessary, in consequence of
Railways in every other direction out of London being either in
progress, or on the point of being immediately undertaken ; and
that such a medium of transport will, by its unrivalled celer;ty and
superior cheapness, contribute largely to the prosperity of these
counties.
2.

It was resolved unanimously that the line of Railway which
will best meet the wants of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be
that which goes through the richest and most populous portions of
the counties, approximates nearest to the principal market, manu-
facturing, and seaport towns, and deviates least from the ancient
and existing course of traffic.
3. Resolved unanimously, that the line of the Eastern Counties'
Railway, which commences in High-street, Shoreditch, and pro-
ceeds by Romford, Brentwood, Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ips-
wich to Norwich and Yarmouth, appears to, this meeting to fulfil
all the conditions of the preceding resolutions, and is pre-eminently
deserving the support of the inhabitants of these Counties, and of
the Public at large.
4. Resolved unanimously, that a General Meeting of the Pro-
prietors and Inhabitants of this Town and neighbourhood be held
on Saturday, the 21st of November inst., at two o'clock precisely,
at the White Horse Hotel, Ipswich, to promote the success of this
undertaking.

Offices, No. 18, Austinfriars.

The prominent advantages appertaining to this Railway are, that
the line from Holsden• green, where the Great Inland Railways
unite, to the Hammersmith-road, near the Basin of the Kensington
Canal, will pass through the property of only seven different pro-
prietors, and in no instance will interfere with anv private grounds,
or require the demolition of a single dwelling-house ; that by its
connection with the Kensington Canal goods may be delivered
within one tide at any point along the whole course of the river, on
both sides, through London, down t o the Saint Katharine and the
London Docks, thereby greatly improving the river-side trade ; and
that accommodation is provided to all the populous and wealthy
south-western districts of the metropolis for passengers to and from
those great railways.
The point of union with the London and Birmingham Railways
is five miles and a ball from the termination at Somers Town,
whilst by the proposed communication it is only three miles•from
the western parts of the metropolis, and two Tunnels are avoided.

In like manner a saving of at least twelve hour:, and of conside-
rable expense, will be effected by the carriage of goods to the
Thames, and the adjoining Docks, Markets, Wharfs, and Ware-
houses, in lieu of proceeding from Camden Town to Limehouse by
the only other mode of communication for the railways with the
river.

Application for Shares to be made by letter, post paid, to the
Bankers and Solicitors of the Committee; and to the Secretary, at
the Offices of the Company, No. 18, Austinfriars, London.

SEC RETA RY—Samuel Travers, Esq.
The intention of this Company is to complete the Grand Surrey
Canal from its present terminus, near the Carabervrell-road, into
the Thames- at Vauxhall, according to the original plan, with
another communication into the River near Deptford, affording
increased facility for the supply of coals, and all heavy commodi-
ties to the intermediate Southern districts, as well as a short, safe,
and easy transit to West Country Barges, thereby avoiding the de-
lays and dangers incident to the Navigr.tion of t'ne River, and
saving a distance of 21 miles in 7.
But the most important object they have in view, is to lay a
Railway on the north bank of the Canal when so completed, from
the Southampton Railway, near Nine Elms, Vauxhall, to Dept.
ford, near the New Pier connecting the same by branches with
the Greenwich and Croydon Railways, embracing also the traffic of
the proposed Gravesend and Dover, Tunbridge Wells, and
Railways ; with a branch to the Elephant and Castle. -

pubs), thus materially benefitting all th•
