PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.
CAMBRIDGE and COLCHESTER
RAILWAY.
Capital, 800,0001., in 40,000 Sha' es of 201. each.
Deposit, 2/. 2s. per Share.
This Company has been formed for making the above line of rail-
way, and a list of the Provisional Committee, containing most in-
fluential names, will appear in a few days.
This railway will commence at the University town of Cambridge,
and proceed from thence to Colchester, passing through or near the
towns of Linton, Haverhill, Great Yeldham, Iledingham, and Hal-
stead, proceeding by Thorp and Wesley to Walton-on-the-Naze.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that this line will pass
through a part of the country at present unprovided with railway
accommodation, and bring the town of Cambridge in close connexion
with Colchester, and the fast improving seaport town of Harwich,
and by means of the railways already formed and proposed to be
fumed, will open a communication with Yorkshire and all parts of
the north, with Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liver-
pool, and other large manufacturing towns, and the rich mineral
districts of Staffordshire, the important towns of Birmingham and
Worcester, north and smith Wales, and by the Northampton, Ban-
bury and Cheltenham Railway, with all parts of the west of England,
as well as opening a direct communication to the important seaport
towns on the eastorn coast.

A considerable Parliamentary grant having been made to improve
the harbour of Harwich, a Company hes been formed to make large
and commodious docks at that place, and from the fact of Harwich
being directly opposite the ports of Holland (thus bringing it in
fximinunleatical with Me railways In Germany) there is no doubt
but that Harwich will become a first-rate sea-tort town for exten-
sive commercial and passenger traffic, and will be a powerful
ilvder to this thus.

The town of Colchester is also a sea-port, from which coals and
goods in large quantities are supplied to Malstead and the adjacent
populous towns and villagc.3, and goods, flour. Malt, &c„ in large
quantities are chipped (supplied from the district through which this
One is proposed to pass) to London and other places.
Therefore this line_will open a eqmmunleation Much needed, and
there cannot be ally doillit but that the undertaking is one of great
Importance, as affording railway accommodation to a large and po-
pulous dis trict of country through which it will pass, and that it
will pay a good rate of interest on the capital invested
From Colchester the line will proceed M the fast-improving and
much atimirn4 watpring•pince, Waltan-pn,the-X4e, passing through
Thorp and Weeley, and thereby affording ratiwaY accommodation
from the Midland Counties to that place of surnmer resort fbr sea

•
Power will be applied for to allow 4/. per cent. on deposits an
all calls until the line is opened.
Prospectuses and plans will he forthwith issued, and, in the
meantime applications for Shares may be made to -the solicitors,
George Weller, Esq. a, King's-sroad, Medford-row, London; George
Pell, jun., Esq. Welford, Northamptonshire ; and George Cooke, Esq.

rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to
Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and
formerly the principal market and manufactut ing town of the west

rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Bamp-
ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol
Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the
produce of the rich mines and quarries of Merthyr Tydvil, Ponty-
pool, and Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest

Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place
of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine-
head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder, connect-
ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great
western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It
will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and
English Channels.
