The object of this undertaking is to supply the northern part of
Norfolk with that railway accommodation of which it is at present
wholly destitute. It embraces all the towns in this extensive dis-
trict, and affords direct communication between them and the City
of Norwich, which is the great mart for the agricultural produce of
the county.
By the junction of this line with the Norfolk Railway, and with the
lines to Yarmouth and Lynn, this important locality will obtain
the shortest and most economical route to all parts of England.
This undertaking will prove of incalculable advantage to the agri-
culturists, to the owners of the large and important mills on the
River Bure, and to the maltsters and traders of the district, in tha
transmission of their commodities, and by placing them within easy
communication of the ports and places from which coals and goods of
every kind consumed in the district, are obtained.
The distinction which Cromer has deservedly obtained, as a most
delightful watering-place, will now be considerably enhanced by the
direct communication thus established between it and all parts of the
kingdom. _ _ _

The unanimous and most cordial support of the merchants and
traders of Norwich is given to this projlct, as carrying out the prin-
ciple of direct communication for which they have so earnestly
contended.

This line will be made with the co-operation and support of the
Norfolk Railway Company (the amalgamated Norwich and Yar-
mouth, and Norwich and Brandon Companies) ; and powers will be
taken to ratify agreements made with the Directors of that Compaay
for leasing it at 4 per cent. per annum on the outlay, and an equal
division of the surplus profits.

- -
Competent engineers have already surveyed the line, and have re-
ported most favourably on the project, which is free from engineering
difficulty.
The greatest care has been taken to select the line which is best for
the public interest, and at the same time to avoid Interference with
any ornamental property.
Application for shares, which, on account of their limited number,
can only be attended to from applicants of first-rate respectability,
may be made to the Provisional Committee, at No. 3, Cleveland-
row, St. James's, London, in the following form ; or to the Solici-
tors In London or Norwich, or of Messrs. Morgan and Co., Share-
