-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 Brandon, Ely, and Cambridge, to join the
Northern and Eastern Railway—a distance of 146 miles. The ter-
rnmus of the Norfolk Railway at Yarmouth is acknowledged to be
most inconvenient for the London trade, and the claims which it has
upon Yarmouth are confined to the communication with Norwich
and t e western and north-western districts. A very large traffic
axis's between Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Beccies, Bungay, Halesworth,
Ilarlestone, and Diss ; and also between all those important towns I
and Bury St. Edmund's, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and London. To
supply the wants of these districts the Waveney Valley and Yar-
mouth Rabway 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
tte quays, so as to take goods ftom the vessels on the river without
anshipa,erit or immediate carriage, thus saving considerable ex-
pen,e. This railway will run to the town of Beccles, thence to Bun-
gay (with a branch to Halesworth), to Harleston, and Dias, 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 Dias the railway will to within three miles
of tne 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 torn Lowestoft to London. The whole length of the main
line will not exceed thirty-three miles, and the branch to Hales-
worth will be ab-ut 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, Bungey,
and Beccles, 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, 00 tons of goods and 173,465 tons of coals are annually im-
ported into Yarmouth to supply the wants of the district.
There era 574 registered vessels, comprising a tonnage of
60,375, bel aging to Great Yarmouth, and 3,400 ships yearly enter
that port.
Upwards of 100 vessels are employed in the mackerel fishery, and
200 to 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.,
t to greatts 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 go ,d fish, it may confidently be expected that the immediate
and permanent effect of a quick transit between the two places will
t^ at vast Increase in this branch of traffic ; and it is anticipated that
l,!rge quantities of Scotch s4lmoa will be landed at Yarmouth, to
vold th, tedious passage between this part of the coast and the
metro}, Ps. .

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 ;:ass upon it.

Yarmouth is increasing extensively as the watering-place of the
eastern coast. A great numoer of houses have recently been erected,
to accommodate the requirements of visitors during the season, and
malty 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
prod tre, independently of the fish carriage, a return of £39,483 0 0
To this add tor fish traffic from Lowestoft, according
to the present quantity supplied to the London

market, calculated at a low rate

being twenty-four miles shorter than the route by the present Norfolk
Railway.

The traffic has been taken very moderately, and it array be
fairly calculated that the amount will be very considerably increased
by increased trade (particularly in fish, 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.

T..^ W,e has been carefully surveyed, and no engineering difficulty
pres,nts 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 far the necessary embankments in the
I,,wsr

This railway is brought forward with the general concurrence and
apprlval of the country and towns through which it passes. It is
the univers it opinion that this line is absolutely required by the
an that \AlthULt it the trade ot this portion of the couxtry
will materially suffer, and consequently the value of property be
depreciated by the competition of those neighbouring towns to
which :he great advantages of railway communication have been
granted.
