In congratulating the Skarehidders on the issue of the late contest
in Parliament, the Committee of Management beg to announce that
active measures are be4ig adopted to forward the surveys and plans,
and prepare for the ensuing session. The success of the Oxford and
Rugby Railway has confirmed the Directors in the view they enter-
tained when they first brought to the notice of the public the merits
of a line direct from Birmingham to Oxford, and leaves little room
to doubt that Parliament will grant this important continuation, thus
connecting the whole north of the kingdom and Birmingham with
the south-western districts.
It is intended to make the most convenient stations for the various
towns on the line that circumstances will admit, connecting the line
at Birmingham with that of the Grand Junction Company. By this
means a❑ uninterrupted transit will be effected from Birmingham
through Oxford to every part of the south and to London.

Looking to the very peculiar position of this line, the cheapness
of its construction, and the great traffic that must inevitably flow to
It from its connecting and central situation, the Provisional Directors
have every confidence that the undertaking will be one of more than
ordinary profit to the proprietors.

FLY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAIL WA Y.
4I A Company is in the course of formation for the construction
of a Railway fr,in the city of Ely to the town of Bury St. Edmunds.
The line will C3IIIMCIICC by a junction at Ely with the Eastern
Counties, Lynn and Ely, and Ely and Huntingdon Ralways, and will
terminate at Bury by a junction with the Ipswich and Bury Railway.
Its object is to preserve the mercantile connexion which has for
generations subsisted beta een the county of Suffolk, the town of Itury,
and the port of Lynn, and to afford Ipswich, Colchester, and Bury,
and all that portion of the kingdom a direct communication with the
manufacturing districts.

The distance from Bury, and consequently from all places eastward
of that town to Peterborough, the point at which so many lines pass-
ing from the south and cast to the north and north-west converge,
will by the Ely and Bury line be ten miles shorter than the route to
that city by way of Cambridge.
A detailed Prospectus will be issued immediately.
