A PEREMPTORY SALE OF BRANDESTON HALL, IN
THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE, IN THE VICINITY OF
IPSWICH, WITH THE MANORS AND ROYALTIES,
AND A DOMAIN OF 652 ACRES OF EXCELLENT
LAND; A RESPECTABLE TENANTRY-AT-WILL;
THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL AND VALUE AP-
PROACHES 1,5001. A-YEAR.
114, B. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL
LILL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY,
the 17th of June, at Twelve, by direction of the Mortgagee
and Trustees, for absolute sale (the Court of Chancery having
cleared away all difficulty, and cleansed the title from doubt or
uncertainty),
A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
of which historical record traces the creation from the year 1530 as

THE BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE.
The Hall has invariably been the subject of great admiration—
its outward form is modelled in the
TASTE AND STYLE OF OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH.
It is seated on a lawn which approaches
THE RIVER DEDEN, AND IS WELL
SUPPLIED WITH FISH. _ _

I meandering s.ream is seen g.,nt y glidi,ig through the whole
estate, offering o3casional tenet in dry seasons, and always capable
of irrigating the lands.
THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING.
FOR FIVE MILES.
THE PARK-LIKE GROUNDS PRETTILY TIMBERED,
and beautifully wooded, are scattered around in pleasing negligence,
and the Mansion is seated under the fostering wings of the ancient
church, its close ally. There are prolific gardens, lawn, and plea.
sure.grounds, which will not be the worse for a little tact in restor-
ing them to their pristine state.
Mr. Robins, in pursuing his undeviating course of candour,
desires it to be understood that, although a consulerable outlay has
taken place, much remains to be done, and a lady gifted with tact
and judgment would agreeably employ a little of her leisure in
decorating the interior. The situation is really very picturesque,
and quite beautiful, to which may be appended
THE MANORS OF GREAT EXTENT AND PROFIT,
MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND IMMUNI.
TIES, THE ROYA.LIIES,
AND ALL ITS CONSEQUENTIAL ADVANTAGES;
independently of which, a court is held annually to receive a con.
siderable income from the
FINES AND QUI T-RENTS, WHICH ARE ARBITRARY.
THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD DOMAIN EXTENDS TO
SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TW E
O ACRS
of first-rate pasture, meadow, corn, and turnip lands, lying in a
complete ring.fence, divided into
SIX SNUG AND VERY COMPACT LITTLE FARMS,
with suitable buildings and good tenants, who will all bebut too happy
to continue at the present low rental. The portion unlet with the
Manor House, is 77 acres, including the park and pleasure-
grounds, woods, and plantations. The annual produce and value
will approach
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.

The appearance of the estate should be seen to be properly appre-
ciated ; nothing throughout toe country can look better, or prove
more authoritativ, ly the superiority of the soil. And
THE WOODLAND SCENERY
is so very beautiful that nothing in the vicinity can be assimilated
to it.

" Here verdant pastures wide extended lie,
And yield the grazing herd exuberant supply,
Luxuriant waving in the wanton air,
Here golden grain rewards the peasant's care."
The distance from London, although SO miles, is reduced
to a three or four hours' ride by the Eastern Counties Rail-
road. The markets are everywhere excellent. Lots of brick earth,
with a kiln on the property well secluded, indeed the property is so
full of advantages, that although Mr. Robins has taxed his in-
genuity, it has really been in vain to find an opportunity to reduce
the slight colouring he has given to the landscape, and he concludes
by confidently recommending it as one of the safest investments hi
the county.

This Railway is projected with a view to a more perfect connexion
between the counties and ports of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
also to afford a direct communication between Lancashire and ihe
North-Eastern parts of the kingd in. The line is intended to branch
out of the Leeds and Bradford Extcnsien Railway at Skipton,
whence it will proceed by Bolton-bridge, crossing the river Wash-
burn, and along the valley of the Nidd by Hampsthwaite to Harro-
gate and Knaresborough, where it will join one of the projected lines
of Railway from those places now before Parliament to form a junc-
tion with the Great North of England Railway at Raskelf or Thirsk.
By this lice of Railway the most direct and entire communication
will be established between the ports of Liverpool, Lancaster, Pres-
ton, and Fleetwood, and the North-west District of Lancashire,
comprts:ng,- the important towns of Bury, Bolton, Blackburn, Ac-
crington, Burnley, Clitheroc, and Colne, and the vast Agricultural
District of the North Riding and the North-Eastern parts of England
and Scotland.

The length of the line, including the Branch to Pateley-bridge,
will be about 27 miles, and will open up the most important and po-
pulous agricultural district of Yorkshire to the manufacturing dis-
tricts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as to the coal fields of the
county of Durham.
This projected line will effect a saving in distance in the communi-
cation to the North-Eastern parts of the kingdom, from the im-
portant districts alluded to, of upwards of 50 miles ; the local traffic
will be considerable.
A survey of the line has been already made, and it presents no
serious engineering difficulties, and it will be constructed with favour-
able gradients at not snore than the average cost.
A detailed prospectus, with a powerful provisional directory, will
be shortly issued.

This undertaking will, in connection with existing and projected
lines of railway, bring into immediate communication with Binning-
ham, and the whole midland and Northern Districts of England, the
great mineral fields of Monmouthshire, as well as those adjoining Car-
diff and Merthyr Tydvil ; at the same time it will furnish to the im-
portant agricultural counties of Hereford, Worcester, Brecon, and
M onmouth, a ready channel for the transmission of their produce to
the dense population inhabiting the mineral districts of South Wales.
The object of this company will be very materially aided, first, by
the existing line from Cardiff to Merthyr: and, secondly, by the
lines intended to be formed by the Welsh Midland Railway Company.
The line will commence at Newport, and will thence proceed
northward by Pontypool and Abergavenny to Hereford, where (in
that direction) it will terminate. From Abergavenny a branch will
extend eastward to Monmouth, and another westward to Brecon.
From Brecon al extension will be made to Merthyr, to join the
Taaff Vale Railway, ending at Cardiff. Thus will be established, in
addition to a free intercourse with more distant localities, a complete
chain of railway communication amongst the important towns and
districts just enumerated, and which are cow wholly unprovided in
that respect. The portion of the line extending westward from
Monmouth will also promote the most direct passenger route that
can be adopted from Monmouth to Carmarthen, and the South of
Ireland.
In addition to the main line and extensions above indicated, the
Directors propose to place themselves in immediate communication
with the proprietors of the most important works in the several dis-
tricts traversed, in order to fix the situation and the course of the
minor branches, which will be necessary to complete the comprehen-
sive scheme of communication intended ; and to this object regard
has been had in fixing the capital of the Company.
The investigations which have been made en the subject of the
traffic fully justify the conclusion that the undertaking is eminently
ealcuiated for the advantage and convenience of the public, and that
it will prove a most profitable investment of capital.
In conclusion, it may suffice to observe that it is well known that
the scheme of a comprehensive system of inland communication in
the districts in question has already engaged the serious attention of
the tribunal appointed by the Legislature for the initiatory examina-
tion of railway projects; and the Board of Trade has, in its report
on the Tring and Oxford schemes, fully recognised the great im-
portance and necessity of the chain of communication of which the
present undertaking will form a material, link in the following man-
ft cr :—" The accommodation of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, South
Wales, and the important districts lying to the west-of the present
lines of railway will evidently, at no distant period, require not only
a wide gauge railway along the southern coast, to place them in com-
munisation with London, but also a narrow gunge railway, to place
them in direct and unbroken communicaton, through Birmingham,
with the manufacturing districts and the great railway system of the
rest of the kingdom."
The engineering capabilities of the course of the line and exten-
sions have been ascertained to be excellent, and the capital proposed
will be ample for the construction of the 125 miles of railway intended
to be formed.

This project, whether viewed as a means of private investment, or
as a great public undertaking, presents advantages seldom equalled.
Forming a junction at Stourport with the London, Worcester, and
South Staffordshire Railway, the proposed Railway will pass up the
valley of the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour-
hood of, Bewdley, Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock,
Madeley, Iron-bridge, Coal Brook Dale, to Shrewsbury-, and thence
near Market Drayton, Audlem, and Nantwich, to Crewe, where it
will terminate by a junction with the Manchester and Birmingham,
and Grand Junction Railways.
Besides giving the above exceedingly populous and thriving places
the benefit of a direct communication with each other, and railway
accommodation to a district now entirely destitute of it, the proposed
railway will als a establish the shortest route from the North of
England, Manchester, Liverpool, Ireland, Holyhead, North Wales,
and Chester (through Shrewsbury), to Worcester, Cheltenham,
Gloucester, South Wales, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Falmouth, and the
south-western counties, and moreover will form the high-road into
the centre of Wales from the northern and midland counties.
Thus, the manufactures and minerals of the extensive and rapidly
increasing iron works, and collieries of Shropshire, and the salt works
of Cheshire, as well as the immense agricultural produce from those
counties, the Valley of the Severn, Herefordshire, and the centre of
Wales, will reach the markets and ports of Lancashire, Worcester-
shire, Gloucestershire, Devonshire, and Cornwall, by a rapid and
cheap transit.
It is considered that the present traffic between the various towns
on the line of the proposed railway will secure a profitable return
upon the capital ; but when the increase which will arise from the
completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon
are taken into account, there can he no doubt that the undertaking
will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom.
As the line from Stourport to Shrewsbury will traverse the Valley
of the Severn, the works in that district must of necessity be light
and easy ; the country also between Shrewsbury and Crewe is well
adapted for the cons•ruction of a railway.

The object of this line is to connect the metropolis of Ireland with
the important ports of Wexford, Waterford, and Cork (the latter b-
eans of the proposed Cork and Waterford Railway), and to afford
to the inland counties of Ireland the most direct route (with the
shortest sea voyage) to South Wales, the south of England, and to
London.
The importance of Waterford as a harbour •and port is too well
known to need any detailed account; suffice it to say, that its ex-
ports and imports have considerably increased within the last few
years ; indeed it is one of the most important ports of Ireland.
The bay of Wexford has been carefully examined, and the result
shows it capable of improvement to an extent that will admit of
the largest steamers coming up to a quay, • to be erected at a short
distance from the town, to which railway communication can
readily be continued; and the capital of the Company has been
fixed with this view.
The proposed line will give to the rich agricultural counties of
Kilkenny and Carlow a remarkable facility for the transmission of
their produce, through the important ports of Wexford and Water-
ford, to the great market for Irish provisions afforded by the dense
mining populations of South Wales and Cornwall, as well as to the
inland and manufacturing districts of England and the metropolis,
and will facilitate :the development of the well-known mineral re-
sources of the county of Wicklow, abounding in copper, lead, and
other ores, and afford them ready access to the best markets.
The proposed line was brought under the consideration of the
Board of Trade by its present promoters last year, but at too late
a period to admit of all the necessary details being furnished to
enable the Board to give their final decision upon the scheme. They
consequently recommended its postponement for another session,
but in their report they publish the following extract from that of
the C,mmissioners appointed by Parliament to inquire into the
manner in which railway communications could be most advan-
tageously promoted in Ireland :—`4 Should the country at a future
period show resources sufficient to justify the establishment of a rail-
way between Wexford and Dublin, it is possible that the best line
will not be found to pass through Carlow, but along the coast to Ark-
low, and thence through the county of Wicklow to Dublin."
e,
two
competingT The other er (the
The Board follow up this extract by these remarks :—" Here there
ar
schemes—the
proposedonlein(eD) incomplete, immature, butublin, Carlow, and Wexford)
complete in itself, but likely to be more costly than its traffic may
still a measure vastly more comprehensive, and if carried into effect,
backed by a powerful monied interest, of manifestly greater national
advantage."
The preliminary examination made last year was sufficiently satis-
factory to warrant (without entering into details) the belief that a
Hilly remunerative traffic will present itself on the proposed line.
This belief is strengthened by the new railway extensions projected
since the period of such examination, and by the generally favour-
able character of the country in an engineering point of view.
That portion of the proposed line which is intended to connect
Waterford and Wexford, will receive a very large traffic from the
Waterford and Limerick, and Waterford and Kilkenny Railways,
which have been favourably reported upon by the Board of Trade
and to which, in reference to the proposed line, the following re-
marks of the Board of Trade, on the former of these lines, may be
considered applicable:--
"The passenger traffic has hitherto been directed more towards
Dublin than to Waterford; but if the South Wales Railway should
receive the sanction of Parliament, and be placed in connexion with
steamers to Wexford, or to Waterford, a portion of the Limerick
passenger traffic will be diverted from Dublin in the direction of
Waterford, as giving the readiest route to Bristol, and a convenient
route to London. The goods traffic will undoubtedly take the line to
Waterford rather than to Dublin, Waterford being the more conve-
nient sea-port."
The shortness of the passage from Wexford to Fishguard, and its
favourable character with respect to the tides, prevailing winds, &c.,
would of course render Wexford the most eligible of the Irish ports
for embarkation ; and when it is considered that a coast line from
Cork to Waterford, via Youghal, also that a line from Kilkenny to
Galway, are projected, it will be evident that a vast portion of the
traffic of Ireland, south and west of Dublin, must fall in upon some
part of the proposed railway.
The very romantic and justly-celebrated beauties of the county
Wicklow, in the immediate vicinity of which the proposed line will
pass for many miles, will probably attract a larger passenger traffic
than any other railway in Ireland. On this point, the Railway Com-
missioners report :—" Among the inducements which we may notice
as holding out a prospect of support for such undertakings, are to be
mentioned the numbers from all parts of the United Kingdom, and
even from the continent of Europe, who would resort to Ireland as
travellers to view the natural beauties of its splendid and varied
scenery."
When it is remembered how very imperfectly, at present, the rich
distinguished the district through which the
and varied resources of Ireland have been developed, and how highly
Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway will pass, has long been for
proposed Waterford,
the possession of all the elements that constitute commercial and
agricultural greatness, coupled with the uniform tranquillity and
industry which pervade all classes of its population, the promoters
of this undertaking have the fullest conviction that, alike on public
and private grounds, it will be found worthy of general confidence and
support.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 41.
per cent. per annum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up, and
no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his
deposit of IL 10s. per share, until the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.
Prospectuses may be had, and applications for shares, in the fol-
lowing form, may be addressed to the Secretary, at the offices of the
Company, or to the Solicitors.

to a connnuMcation connecting the town of Great Yarmutand, and

It is also intended to extend the proposed line of railway from Hol-

which, these towns and districts will be placed on a througk line to
the metropolis, by their connexion with the Lynn and Ely and the
Northern and Eastern Itailways.
From a survey recently made by Mr. Fulton of that portion of the
line from Lynn to Boston, it appears there is no tunnelling, cutting,
or embanking, of any importance necessary, and that the line will
be practically a dead level. Under these circumstances, and from
the investigation that has been made of the other portion of the line,
it is confidently estimated that the proposed capital will be amply
sufficient for the construction of the necessary works trafficry
