A. direct communication from Yarmouth to the Metropolis is of
the utmost importance 10 the port and tilde cr 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 Brandon, Eiy; awl Cambridge, to join tile
Northern and Eastern hailway,—a distance of '146 miles. The ter-
minus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to Le
most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has
upon Yarindu •it are confined to • the communication with Norwich
tout the western and_north--ricstern dirt. lets. A very large traffic
exists between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Meeks, Bungay, Italeswerth,
Harlestone, and Dies; and also between all those important towns
and Bury St. Edn;;;ild's, Stowmorket, Ipswich, and London. To
supply the wants -of - theso aiislricts the Waveney Valley and Tar-
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 practietble. The line will communicate with
the quays, so as to take goods from the vessels on the river without
transhipmert or immediate carriage, thus' saving considerable cx-
pause. This railway.will ran to the town of Heckles thence to Dun-
gay (with a branch to Ilalesworth), Handerlesion, and Disc, commit-
nieating there with the Eastern Union Extension Railway, and by
means of that line to StoWinari•zet, Bury, Ipswich, Colchester, Chelms-
ford, and London. At Diss the raiiway will. Le within three miles
of the important market town of -Eye, to which a branch may be ad-
vantageously constructed.- In its 'course to Receles it will cross- the
Lowestoft and Itc•dhaut line, and will afford the shortest eel/11111mi-
cation from Lowestoft-10 LoidGn.- The whole length of the main
,and the branch to Hates-
is one of the richest agricultural districts initiiimif; f?'-pi-Mea
large crops of grain, and abounds with rich pasturage, a very large
portion of the barley is malted at Ilarlestone, llaleswerth, liungay,
and Beceles, 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 435,690 quarters.
70,G00. tons of goods and 173,485 tons sf coals are annually ins-•
ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district.
There are 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of
50,375, belonging to 'Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly eater
that port.
Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and
200 in the herring fishery ; the capital employed in these trades ex-
ceeds halfA million of money.
In addition to the above, very many other fishing craft are em-
ployed in catching turbst, totes, 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 almott botmdless market for chimp
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, its the event of this line being made,
must pass upon it.
YarMouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the
eastern coast. 4. 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 ft shearria ge, a return of £39,483 0 0
