RAILROAD TO NEWMARKET.—A deputation of the
inhabitants waited, this morning, on the Jockey Club, for
the purpose of soliciting its sanction and support of the Cam-
bridge and Bury line, vid Newmarket, in preference to the
branch from Wickliambrook, proposed by the Norwich Direct
Company, which branch the inhabitants conceive is not cal-
culated to be of the slightest benefit to the town. The Club
received the deputation courteously, and heard their state-
ments, but have not yet expressed any opinion on the matter.
