FLY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY•
A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY frtim•the Cityof ELY to the Town of BURY ST.
EDMUNDS.
The Line will commence 'by a Junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Railways, and
will terminate at Bury by a Junction with the Ipswich and Bury

Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted between the county of Suffolk, the town of
Bury, and the Port of Lynn, and to afford to Ipswich, Colchester,
and Bury, and all that portion of the kingdom, a direct communica-
tion with the manufacturing districts.
The distancefrom Bury, and consequently from all places eastward of
that town.to Peterborough—the point at which so many Lines pass-
ing from the south and east to the north and north-west converge—
will, by the Ely and Bury Line, be ten miles shorter 'than the route
to that City by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.
