This railway is intended to connect the South Wales Railway at
Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the
projected Cheltenham, Oxford (and London direct), Gloucester, and
Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and
Southampton Railways ; thus forming an uninterrupted line of com-
munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford
in i-embrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London
direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the
North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by
any of the projected plans for crossing the Severn below G•oucester,
thereby avoiding th- difficulties which must necessarily be encoun-
tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and
districts upon the intended lines that accummodatioa which their im-
portance entitles them to.
The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the
Eastward of Chepstow will be carried on this line ; added to which
the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from
the Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estiraated upon authentic
documents and information, at upwards of 30P,000 tons; and from
the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic
may ►safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an-
num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line,
independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in
the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities
offered by the proposed railroad.
The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di-
vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not
exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. _ _ .

It is proposed to make branches to th Collieries and Iron Works
in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest
themselves on the Severn ; and to make the River Wye, at Chep-
stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter
free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation
of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shirting sands in that
river.

It is Inten.led to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester,
which will in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed
Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt he ready to join
this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of
the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge
at Gloucester, and the one over the River Nye, at Chepstow, to join
the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and
the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to
provide a capital of 600,0001. to meet any contingencies which may
arise.

A reference to the map will show the self-evident importance of
this line as essential to the perfecting the great project of the South
Wales Hallway Company (who have obtained their Act of Parlia-
ment for a railroad from Fishguard and Milford Haven to Chepstow)
connecting it with the principal railways of the kingdoni, at
Gloucester, and making it the direct road to London, via Cheltenham
and Oxford, for effecting which projects are now before the public
with most influential support. The line is twenty-six miles in
length, has no engineering difficulties; the gradients and curves are
extremely goof, and works liuht.

It may with - very great 7ottfidence be asserted, that there is
scarcely a short line of railroad in the kingdom which offers
greater advantages to the Shareholders than the present. Pro-
via on will be made in the Act of Parliament which will be applied
for in the next Session to limit the liability of the Shareholder
to the amount of his Shares, and to allow tour per cent. on the
calls.-

WILY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
• A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a RAILWAY from the City of ELT 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 distance from 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.

SECRETAUT.—M. E. Daniel, Esq.

A direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of
the utmost importance to the port and trade of Yarmouth. The pre-
sent route by the Norwich and Yarmouth and Norwich and Brandon
Railways, now called the Norfolk Railway, conveys the Yarmouth
traffic to London round by Brandonaly, and Cambridge, to join the
Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter-
minus of the Nortblk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to he
most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has
upon Yarmouth are confined to the communication with Norwich
and the western and north-western districts. _el very large traffic
exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth,
Harlestose, and Diss ; and also between all those important towns
and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To
supply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar-
mouth Railway is designed ; and it will shorten the distance between
Yarmouth and London twenty-four miles.

It is intended to construct the terminus upon the best site as near
to Yarmouth-bridge as practictble. The line will communicate with
the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without
transhipment or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex-
pense. This railway will run to the town of Weeks, thence to Bun-
gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Hiss, commu-
nicating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by
means of that line to Stowmarket, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms-
ford, and London. At Diss the railway will te within three miles
of the important market town of Eye, to which a branch may be ad,.
vantageously constructed. In Its course to Beccles it will cross the
Lowestoft and Reedham line, and will afford the shortest communi-
cation from Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main
line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales-
worth will be about nine miles. The population of the district
through which it runs, taking the parishes within three miles of the
line, is upwards of 100,000, according to the last census. The valley
is one of the richest agricultural districts in England ; it produces
large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very large
portion of the barley is malted at Harlestone, Halesworth, Bungay,
and Mules, and supplied to the large London brewers.
The export of corn and flour from Yarmouth exceeds that of any
port in the kingdom, the average being yearly 43.5,690 quarters.
70,(00 tons of goods and 173,485 tons of coals are annually im-
ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district.

There are 574 reglsteied vessels, comprising a tonnage of
50,375, belunging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter
that port.

Up- -
wards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and
200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex-
ceeds half a million of money.
In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em-
ployed in catching turbot, soles, cod, haddock, whitings, shrimps, &c.,
the greater part of which are sent to London ; and, as the fishing
banks of the North Sea present an inexhaustible supply of these com-
modities, and the metropolis an almost boundless market for cheap
and good fish, it may confidently be expected that the immediate
and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will
be a vast increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that
large quantities of Scotch salmon will be landed at Yarmouth, to
avoid the tedious passage between this part of the coast and the
metropolis.
An immense quantity of live stock Is sent from the district of this
railway to London, which, in the event of this line being made,
must pass upon it.
Yarmouth is Increasing extensively as the watering-place of the
eastern coast. A great number of houses have recently been erected,
to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and
many others of a first class are now in course of building.
The traffic on this line of road has been taken, and is estimated to

produce, Independently of the fish carriage, a return of 439,483 0 0
To this add for fish traffic from Lovrestoft, according
to the present quantity supplied to the London
market, calculated at a low rate • • .... 3,727 0 0

same data•.••

London ..... ..... .... 122 „
being twenty-four miles shorter than the route by the present Norfolk
Railway.
The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it may be
fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased
by increased trade (particularly In Ash, cattle, and grain), when
the road is opened, and the facilities which railways afford are
developed to a country hitherto unaccommodated with such ad-
vantages.

The line has been carefully surveyed, and no engineering difficulty
presents itself. It may be constructed very cheaply and speedily.
The Waveney Valley forms a natural level channel without a single
impediment; and where the line leaves the valley the cuttings are
not heavy, and are required fur the necessary embankments in the
lower lands.

This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and
approval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is
now the universal opinion that this line is absolutely required by the
district, and that without it the trade of this portion of the country
will materially suffer, and consequently the value of property be
depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to
which the great advantages of railway communication have been
granted.
Provision will be taken in the Act to allow four per cent. interest
on the deposit and calls until the line is constructed.
Powers will be taken in the Act to drain the marsh lands of the
valley through which the line passes.

This railway will proceed from York to Lancaster (about 72 miles)
by the most direct practicable route, and pass near Knaresborough,
Harrowgate, Long Preston, Settle, and many other important places.
The counties of York and Lancaster comprise a population of
3,500,000 persons, and are, perhaps, the most wealthy and populous
divisions of the kingdom. The roads ly tween York and Lancaster
are mostly carried over the tops of hills, and, in winter, are nearly
impassable ; this line will pass along the valleys, and the journey,
now rarely made, by coach, within twelve hours, may be perforated,
on the railway, in two hours and a half.

It will provide facilities of access to all the great manufacturing,
mining, and agricultural districts of the north of England, to the Isle
of Man, Ireland, Scotland, and Webs; to Hamburg'', by connecting
Morecombe Bay and Fleetwood Harbour on the west coast with the
port of Hull on the east coast; to the lakes of Westmoreland and
Cumberland; to Harrogate, celebrated for its unrivalled sulphur,
mineral, and chalybeate springs; and to the important intermediate
districts between York and Lancaster, which abound with valuable
minerals, and raise vast quantities of live stock and agricultural pro-
duce. Many places near the intended course of the line are known
to possess inexhaustible supplies of lead, iron. Slate, limestone, free-
stone, and other useful minerals, but these are now comparatively
unavailing, from the great cost of coals and carriage. The railway
will rapidly develop these sources of prosperity, by Introducing coals at
a low price, and providing cheap carriage for mineral produce of
every kind; it will also furnish a most desirable means of transit for
passengers and merchandise to and front every part of the king-
dom, and a cheap conveyance for immense quantities of live stock
and agricultural produce from the rural to the manufacturing
and mining districts. Many completed and projected railways will
intersect this line, and greatly facilitate traffic and intercourse in
every direction ; with the Directors of these railways, and of various
others which have a station at York or Lancaster, the Committee
will endeavour to make arrangements likely to prove mutually bene-
ficial, and they have much pleasure in stating that the landowners
along the Upe are extremely favourable to the undertaking, and con-
siderlessiWl materially augment the value of their possessions and
prove advantageous to the country and the shareholders.
. . . .

It has been fully ascertained that the proposed line presents but
few engtnerrlng difficulties, and that, although it will pass through
some very hilly districts, it may be constructed along valleys, and
with favourable gradients throughout nearly its entire course. The
liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament
to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for
in the Bill to allow interest at four per cent. per annum on all calls,
from the passing of the Act to the opening of the line.
