EAST INDIAN.

The report of the directors of this company, to be
submittea to the propriehors on the 24th instant, states
that the works between Howrah and the Itinegunge
Collieries continues to progress satisfactorily. To com-
plete and stock this division of the line some addi-
tional capital will be required. The existing contract
with the Honourable East India Company provides for
raising such capital. and when the proper time arrives
the option of subscribing it will be given to the then
proprietors of the old shares. The surveys between
Pundoah and Rajmahal, alluded to in the last report,
have been carried to such an extent as to enable Mr.
Turnbull, the resident engineer. to report upon the
general features cf the line, which are highly favour-
able to the construction of a railway. Mr. Turnbull's
report is now before the authorities for consideration, and.
any arrangements that may be made founded upon that
report will be announced to the proprietors at the
earliest opportunity.
