Thy Times of Departure run be published in bills of

The. Directors feel that some explanation is due to the
Shareholders upon the announcement of so large an ad-
ditional measure of accommodation, and so important a
reduction of fares, within six months after the opening of
the Extension Line through Salford, upoa which nearly
£250,000 have been expended, especially as the general
Seale of Fares on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway
has never exceeded, end has generally been below that of
the principal railways in Englsnd, including those in im-
mediate canrexion with this district.
The Directors are happy to be able to state that the
traffic accounts for the quarter just ended exhibit a very
gratifying increase over the corresponding quarter of last
year; a result, in part to be attributed- to the Extension
.Railway lately opened, forming a direct and continuous
line of communication with Yorkshire and the East Coast,
but in Batt, also, to the general reviesl of trade, which the
Directors trust will he steady and permanent, giving in-
creased activity to the internal truffle of the country.
This favourable state of things has encouraged the
Directors to adopt a more decided course than they would
otherwise have been justified in doing; mid they cheer.
fully recognize the broad and - aeneral principle that the
public may fairly claim to participate, from time to time,
by means of increased accommodation or reduced rates,
in the continued success of the company.
Moreover, they will not conceal from the Proprietors,
that in the present position of railway interests, with a
superabundance of utierepleyed capital and a speculative
spirit abroad, which, every day, conjures into shape and
promise new and rival projects, existing lines must be
prepared, even at some saerifice, to supply the public with
ample ttecommad,tion, on the most reasonable terms:, it
they wool] maintain the ground which they have ht retofore
occupied—each in its own locality.
For this purpose the outlay of additional capital may
he required, the return fur which can be expecte:l only
from an increase of traffic, consequent on the increased
prosperity of the country. But the Directors feel assured
that a deference to public opinion, exemplified by the.
course of policy now recommended, will best enable them
to maintain a safe position. and to defeat, if need be, the
attempts of rival and hostile undertakings.
By order,
HENRY BOOTH, Manager.

BY this undertaking it is proposrd to establish a direct
Railway communication hetwren the city of Norwich
-(the metropolis of the eastern district of EnglAnd) and the
'town and port of lrswich, at wh!ch place it will join the
Railway to London.
The Line wiil pass through the towns of Diss and
Stowmarket, and through or near Long Stratton, Eye,
74n1 Mend!e.illam, and Needham Market and the adjacent
populous districts, and will Le in near communication
with tii towns of liatLlston, Bungay, and Beceles, and
he liver Wavenhey, to wLich places en extension may
he advantageously m de. It also combines the advantage
of a direct communication with the port of Yarmouth.
Very considerable commerce and intyrcoursc has
,ilways sutlsitted between Norwich, Diss, and Ipswich,
which this project will greatly facilit,.t, and increase.
Tins Line will be an exteneion of the Eastern Union
Railway, and will, by means of the Eastern Co pities
Rail, ay frets Colc'Jester, give the city of Norwich and •
an txterisive and thickly populated country a direct corn-
inunication will' London, fourteen miles shorter than by
the Norwich and Brandim and Northern and Eastern
lines.

The proposed Railway is strictly identified with the
agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interes's of
the entire dis.rict, and, whilst it affords the greatest con-
venience to the public, it offers to the Shareholders a
prospect of a very ainpe return on the capital embarked.
The Line has been surveyed by Mr. Locke, who has
repo, ted, that the character of the country to be traversed
will tender the Line easy of construction, and, as the gra-
dients an; favourable, it will be an economical Line to
work.

A careful estimate of the present traffic between Ips-
wich and Norwich has been made, Which, after allowing
40 p(r cent. for the expenses of working the Line, shows
a return of upwards of 7 per cent. ou the capital re-'
(paired.
T►te Mop annexed to this Prospectus indicates the
course of the intended Line and shows the popuhition of
the principal towns which will ba accommodated by the
undertakinz. _ _

The capital proposed to be raised, £(150,000, will enable
the Company to complete a double Line from the termi-
nus of the Eastern Union Railway, at Ipswich, to Nor-
wich, a distance of forty-tire mites : part of tlis Line
will have the advantage of participatin7 in a double traffic
from bring connected, not only with the Line to Nor-
w;ch, but with a Line now projected, branching from this
undertaking at a point about fourteen miles north of
Ips-
wich to Cambridge, through Bury St. Edmonds, as
shown on the map.
Norwich as well as Cambridge (and, eventually, by
other connecting Railroads, the whol-i of the m►nufactur-
ing districts) will this be in direct communication, at
Ipswich, with the line of steameis prolytsed to be esta
blished from Harwich harbour to Hambura, Rotterdam,
Antwerp, and Ostend ; will be within ten hours of the
last-named place ; and, according to the statement lately
published by the proposed European Steam-packet Com-
pan►•, withic twenty-four hours of I larnhurgh.
The usual powers will be token in the act to allow in-
terest at four per cent. on the amount of subscriptios
paid up.
At plications for Shares may be addressed to Messrs.
FORSYTH and PRITCHARD, Liverpool; and J. B
LocKE, E,q., and JOHN BARLOW. Esq., 'Manchester, of
whom Prospectuses maybe obtained.

Shares may be addressed to the Cornmiree. Appl:ca-
