PROSPECTUS.
The Line of Railway now submitted to the Public, rests its claims for
support on the strong general ground of its passing through important
districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose interests have been almost entirely
neglected in the laying out of the different Railways hitherto executed
or projected for the benefit of the Eastern Counties of England, but
which possess, nevertheless, population, wealth, and traffic, amply suffi-
cient to defray the charges of forming a direct railway communica-
tion through them, and to afford a good return for the capital required
for the purpose.
Commencing at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties
Railway), this line will pass close by Braintree, Bocking, Halstead,
Sudbury, and Lavenham, to Bury, running, throughout its whole
extent, of thirty-nine miles, nearly conterminous with the ancient
and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the heart of
Suffolk.
It will have, for its termini, two important market and assize
towns ; and for its principal intermediate stations, places which are
the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures. •
The towns of Bury and Sudbury are the two largest in the county
of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two
largest in Essex, next to Chehnsford and Colchester.
The population of the hundreds which will be directly intersected
by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it
would be more available than any other Railway, to 43,500, making
the total population which may he reckoned upon, as necessarily
tributary from local vicinage to this line, not less than 176,631.
Between the Metropolis and all the places which have been named,
as well as between these places themselves, there is a large existing
traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to
give, as in all other cases, a vast extension.
The Chelmer and Stour Navigations, through which the districts
traversed by this Line now receive their supplies of coal, lime, timber,
iron, &c., and which are also the principal outlets for its agricultural
produce, will not only have their own operations greatly facilitated,
and their revenues increased by its formation, but contribute consi-
derably to the income of the Railway. They would be feeders, but in
no respects rivals to it.
But, besides the above local traffic, the Line would command a
very • considerable through traffic between London and ail the
Northern parts of Norfolk. From time immemorial more than one-
third of all the coach traffic, between London amid Norwich, has
passed over the line of road with which this Railway will be con
tenninous

Resolved unanhnously,.That it is of the utmost importance to the
interests of this borough4o pfevent a diversion of the traffic irons Nor-
wich to London, whichlutpassed through this place.
That it appears that tiit•x and Suffolk Railway, by po.*.shrg to
the west of the town, with a station at North-street, willAia,te the
cheapest and best line that could be adopted, avoiding the expense of
a long viaduct or embankment, and the danger of penning back the
floods in the Stour valley, and preventing any interference with the
Stour navigation, and that this meeting accordingly pledge them-
selves to its support.

one half, rod confer a benefit upon the district equal to 300,0001. per
annum. It will also facilitate the transit of all articles and goods re
caved in return, which, estimated at one half the first amount, will
Increase the annual benefit to 450,0001.
The gingle item of garden produce, in Bedfordshire, costs the pro-
ducers 20,0001. is year in carriage, whilst a railway would not only
give increased facilities, but save one half the cost of transit. The
public convenience in travelling afforded to a population of 600,000,
now compelled to travel post or by coach, must also he considered.
In thus suPPVilig.. these_ extensive-districts with Railways, the,
London and York* will also prove the most direct practical i.ine
between London and York, being 185 4 miles only, and saving over
the existing. Railways 3330 miles. Consisting of one continuous Line,
it will work its trains with more celerity and fewer impediments, and
from this circumstance, added to the reduCtion of distance, will save
two hours in time and a considerable per centage upon the present
cost of travelling—branches being formed from Ilawtry to Sheffield,
and from Doncaster to Wakefield and Normanton for Leeds; and the
Main Line touching the Hull Railway at Selby, the whqle of York-
shire, with its population of a million and a half,..and its extensive
manufactories will be brought nearer to London, and into more im-
mediate and cheaper communication with the agricultnraleOnnties of
_Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, &c. &C., to the.eklent above
stated.
To effect this saving of distance between the termini-Of the pro-
posed Railway, the local convenience of the intermediate'districts has
not been at all sacrificed. Every town of importance- is either
touched by the Main Line or by a Branch. - •
From Peterborough to Lincoln, the Railroad will pass through the
most populous and productive part of Lincolnshire,- without. nterfering.
with private property, or the public drainage of the country ; and
with the assent and good wishes of the Corporations of Lincoln and
Boston, and of the Canal Companies and Drainage Commissioners.
The supply of coal from the Yorkshire coal field will by this
Railway reach the whole country eastward . between tite' projected
Line and the Sea. The population to which coal will be Thus cheap-
ened will not be short of 1,000,000, and the average reduction of
price will not he so little as 59. per ton. It has been found that the
consumption of coal is equal to one -ton per head of' any given
amount of population. The public benefit in this particular will,
therefore, not be less than 250,0001. per:Annum.
.„
The London and York Line will be an integral and independent
Line throughout. It will have its London Terminus at King's-cross
(unquestionably the most central situation for the combined objects
of Passengers, Goods, and Cattle), and its York Terminus within
the City Walls, a few hundred yards from the present Railway
Station. It will, however, communicate with the Great North of
England, at York—the North Midland, near Normanton—the Leeds
and Manchester, at Waketield-•--and the Sheffield and Manchester,
at Sheffield—thereby completing the chain of Railway communica-
tion between Liverpool and Boston.
With reference to the schemes projected as rival Lines to the Lon-
don and 'York, the accompanying Table of Distances will explain
their relative length, and show that the London and York is by far
the shortest (except in the comparison of mileage with the Direct
Northern, upon the Trunk Line, between London and York). For
the entire trade of the district, the London and York is still'shorter
than the Direct Northern. It runs directly from the agricultural
districts to the manufacturing markets and coal field ; whilst the
Direct Northern has no such connexion, except by the -circuitous
route of the York and North Midland Lines. It also better suits the
trade to the Southern market in London, because it extends through
Peterborough directly into the heart of the feeding and eorii-producing
district, whilst the Direct Northern passei away to the West. As
far, therefore, as the trade and supply of,Coal to the district is con-
cerned, the London and York has the entire superiority.
Even as a Main Trunk between London and York, though. it is (as
has been carefully ascertained) seven miles (but not more than sere ,
miles) longer, than the Direct Northern, yet it would work its trains
from London to York more expeditiously than its rival, froM the cir-
cumstance of its having no drawbridge to pass, whilst ,the Direct
Northern has two such bridges ;—and also from its running through
almost all the towns of the district, needing only two branches—
whilst the Direct Northern, passing at a distance from nearly every
town, would require eight branches, varying from one to ten lilies in
length. The time lost by passing two open bridges (to say nothing of
the danger) would be more than that necessary to run four miles ;
and ever branch involving at the junction, either a change of car-
riages and luggage, or the taking on of fresh carriages, causes a delay
seldom so little a' fiVe minute:: (practiCally felt at the Normanton
and Masbro' Midland Stations, at the Rugby, and every other Sta-
tion where lines meet). The time consumed in passing a first•class
station where to branch joins, is not half that Interval; and the loss
of two-and-a-half minutes upon each of the six addition:it branches
of the Direct Northern, would be sufficient for running the whole
seven miles. But if font* miles be deducted for the drasvbridges, the
loss of one minute at each of the six junctions would more than com-
pensate for the difference of mileage,

Eastern Counties line, at or near Hatfield (about lbur miles from
Chelmsford), whence it will be continued to the town and port of
Maldon, accommodating in its course the important and populous
towns of Bury St. Edmunds, Lavenham, Long Melford, Sudbury,
Halsted, Hocking, Braintree, and Maldon, and forming at once the
most direct and economical line to Norwich, and opening a communi-
cation between the fertile agricultural interior of Essex and the Sea.
Reference to the map of the district through which the line passes
at once suggests that the communication between Norwich mid the
Metropolis should follow the old coach route through the populous
towns which that traffic has contributed to foster, and it can hardly
be imagined that existing interests will be permitted to be entirely
sacrificed by its diversion into other channels.
In this point of view, therefore, this line may be considered of vital
. ..

An extension of the line to Thetford, and also a branch from Brain-
tree to Mahlon, by the way of Witham, have been surveyed, and will
form part of the scheme, if required by the Board of Trade.
From calculations which have been very carefully made of the
existing traffic alone, it appears that, assuming that it would be
trebled by the facilities afforded by railway communication, which is
less than what all railway experience would warrant, the total re-
turns from the. projected Railway would amount to 105,4051.
The Line selected for the Railway is the result of an engineering
survey, on which much time anti pains have been expended, and will,
it is confidently believed, be found to be not only the very best of which
the nature of the country admits, but one admirably adapted to meet the
wants of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made and cheaply
worked. The gradients are easy, and well balanced ; the earth-work
will be less than the average earth-work on railways ; and there will
be no constructions of much difficulty or magnitude. The land re-
quired for the Line will be mostly farm-land, of moderate value, and
in no place will it pass through any parks or ornamental grounds.
Deducting 40 per cent. from the gross returns for the expense of
working the Line (a liberal allowance for a Line of this character), it
would leave a net annual revenue of 63,2431., which would be equal to
8 per cent. on the invested Capital.
' Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to any

AN'
GENTLEMEN,

importance to the various towns near which it passes, but to the
public at large it also offers considerable inducements as a means of

investment.
This line will secure both the traffic between the interior of Essex
and the port of Mahlon, and between that town and the Denjie Hun-
dred, and Chelmsford and London—the distance between those places
being less than by the old coach read.

As a Trunk Hallway, therefore, without regard to the trade of the
district, the London and York would be the safer and more expedi-
tious of the two.
It is needless.- in the present state of public feeling againSt the an-
noyance and delays caused by short branches, to add, that every town
within the district is strongly opposed to any Line which does not pass
immediately through it.
With reference to the other rival lines—one by Cambridge direct to
Lincoln and thence direct to York—the other from Cambridge by Ely
and the coast by Itostem, Lincoln, Doncaster, and South MillinA to
York—the subjoined Table of Distances shows the first to be 14 miles
and the second 3.5 miles longer than the London and York, whilst
neither of them afford anything like equal accommodation to the trade
of the districts ; and both of them leave opt of their consideration the
towns and district of Huntingdon, Stamford, Grantham, li'ewark, and
Retain], and abandon the county of ltedtlird.

The towns of locking, Braintree, and Halstead, are all con-
nected with :he silk trade, and the Intercourse existing between
them and the port of Mahlon is even now very extensive.

duce the price of carriage from about 88.-td. to 2s; per ton, thus
giving a stimulus to trade, and materially augmenting the imports
of coal, coke, iron, oil-cake, tar, slates, and other general mer-
chandise, and the exports of corn, flour, wool, and other agricultural
produce.
The borough of Sudbury is also connected with the silk and
bunting manufacture, but is supplied with heavy goods by the Stour
navigation, to which this line will prove an important feeder.
Every line. hitherto proposed crosses the valley of the Stour below
Ballingdon-bridge to the cast of the town, by a long and expensive
viaduct, thereby entailing a heavy outlay, and risking an opposition
great probability of penning track the
floods on to the town of Ballingdon. The present line (with a sta-
tion at North-street), crosses the valley to the west of the town, at
from the inivigation, and the
the narrowest point, on a short timber viaduct, avoiding ail possi-
bility of a collision with the navigation (which does not extend above
bridge), and saving a serious expenditure, and all danger from the
floods.
The towns of Long Melford and Lavenham are engaged in the
horse-hair manufacture, and in woolst,pling, &c., and would enjoy
the benefit of a quick •communleation both with Norwich and Lon-
don, and a cheap supply of. coal and other heavy goods from the
river St ur,
To the town °Miry this line affords at once the most direct commu-
nication w th Norwich and London, and with the port of Lynn, with
which it already maintains a considerable intercourse ; and it will
also prove the shortest route front Yarmouth and Norwich to the
metropolis, thereby securing a large portion of that traffic in con-
through a thinly inhabited district, as is the
c
flexion with the Norwich and Brandon Railway. •

a population of upwardS of 150,000 souls,. seven
market towns, and three boroughs, returning each two Members

on market-days, will be very considerable, and will form a consi-
derable source of emolument, not possessed by any other line to
Norwich.

ing of any new Line between London and-York, which
ire convenient to the Public than the Western Lines
and the schemes are so devoid of public sympathy or
it may be unnecessary further to remark upon them.
nces marked are all by Rail, excepting where "road,"
and in such cases the total distance include the road.

Independently of passengers, a considerable Income will be de-
rived, not Only from silk and other manufactured goods, but from
the vast quantities of corn, flour, wool, malt, &c., beasts, sheep,
and pigs, • dead meat and • poultry, which are annually sent
from the entire district; and from East Norfolk, to the London
markets.

The promoters have
.carefully revised the traffic estimates, and
the following Summary of actual Existing. Traffic may be relied
upon :
Coach traffic, including passengers by conch to Lon-
don direct, coach parcels, passengers by gigs, &c.,
and intermediate between the stations, horses and
carriages, and conveyance of mails

The above is without calculating upon any anticipated increase
from the sources before-Mentioned, which there is no doubt would
very considerably augment the dividend.
The total length of the line, as at present laid down, including the
branch to Mallon (51A miles in length) is—to Bury,
to Thetford, 53 miles. about 41 miles;
The line does not interfere with any ornamental Property ; there
are no engineering difficulties, and the gradients are remarkably
good; and .the total cost, including stations, &c., is not expected
to exceed 13,0001. a mile, leaving a considerable balance for Engines
and Stock, Parliamentary and incidental expenses. Its claims to
public support, therefore, rest as much upon its intrinsic merits, as on
the recognised principle of protection to vested Interests—while, so
fur from being Inimical to the lines it joins, it must act as an Impor-
tant feeder to the Eastern Counties Railway, and will b.' the means
of preventing a diversion of the greater part of the Norwich and
Brandon traffic to the Eastern Union line.

served in the Act to allow four per cent. interest on deposits until the
