SECRETARY (pro tern.)—L. F. Edwards, Esq.

This railway will commence by a function
PicOsrEcruB-
-
with the lines of the
Railways, at
oautntthiees
c,
ittyheoLf yrEilny,anaidtdEplryt,,, and Huntingdon,
via alildenhall, to
Bury St. Edmunds, forming there a junction with the railway from
that town to Ipswich, now in course of construction.
The town of Bury St. Edmunds and the adjacent districts, and an
the country through which the line will pass, have for generations
drawn their supply of coals, timber, deals, wine, oil-cake, tar, flag-
stones, and other general merchandise, from the port of Lynn, and
have transmitted thither their own corn, flour, wool, fruit, and
other agricultural produce, for shipment to the northern market„
While the proposed line will affect the local object of preserving
the mercantile connexion that has so long subsisted between the
county of Suffolk and the port of Lynn, it will effectthe national
one of affording to the ports of Ipswich and Harwich, and the im-
portant towns of Colchester and Baty St. Edmunds, a direct com-
munication with Lancashire, Yorkshire, and the north, and, by
means of the Ely aid Huntingdon, and the proposed Rugby and
Huntingdon Railways, with Birmingham and the west.
forr therom
these sources a most ample return on the capital required
undertaking may be confidently relied on.
The line is singularly easy of construction, the estimated cost, in-
cluding every contingency, being little above 8,0001. per mile ; it
will not interfere with ornamental grounds of any kind, and it is not
anticipated that any opposition will he offered by the landowners.
The Provisional Directors are to be at liberty to take all such
measures as they may deem requisite for obtaining the necessary
Powers to construct the line or any part thereof, with such branches,
extensions, or alterations, as they shall be advised to adopt ; and for
such powers, or any of them, they are to have power to increase the
amount of the capital, to lease or sell the line to, or amalgamate the
same with, the Lynn and Ely, Ely and Iluntlngdon, and Lynn and
Dereham Railway Companies, or any or either of them, or any other
company or companies.
It is proposed to raise the capital by issuing 10,000 shares of 201.
each, a deposit of 21. 2s. per share (in compliance with the Standing
Orders of Parliament) to be paid on allotment.
There will be an interval of two months between the calls, and not
more than Si. per share will be called for at ono time.
A Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, in such
form and with such clauses as the Provisional Directors may think
right, will lie for signature at the offices of the Solicitors, in London
and Lynn, on payment of the deposit. Arrangements will be made
for transmitting the deeds to the principal provincial towns in or
near which the shareholders may reside, due notice whereof will be
sent to every shareholder by post.
As under arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely, Ely
and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham, Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those companies, a very limited number of shares only
Is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares, therefore, can be attended to, except from parties locally,
interested and of the highest respectability, by whom applica-
tions may be made, in the annexed form, on or before the
13th October, 1845, to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, Lynn,
Nerfolk, or to the respective solicitors ; no application, however, can
in any case be attended to unless accompanied by a reference to one
of the Provisional Committee, or to the Solicitors or Bankers of the
Company.

To the Provisional Committee of the Ely and Bury
St. Edmunds Railway.
I request to allot m e shares of each ove
undertaking, you and I hereby engage to accept the2o/. in
the
same, or any less
number which may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon,
and to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agree-
ment when required.
