MEREWETHER.

TO THE PRePRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOOL
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE continued kind support of my friends and
my increased strength by the accession of a further number
of influent al proprietors, had led me to hopethat I should have been
able to fulfil the in' ention I expressed in my letter of Bth November
last, to solicit your suffrages for the next vacancy in the East In ia
Direction; but the unexpected termination of the contest between
Mr. Maijorbanks and Mr. Morris, satisfies me that I might only
embarrass my friends and compromise my position by going to the
ballot against Mr. Morris. I may, however, be permitted, after so
long an interval, to allude to my letter of 4th May, 1850, stating
that the motives which influecced me to seek the office of a Director
were consequent on my retirement from mercantile pursuits, which
had connected me with India during a period of twenty-three years,
thus enablirg me to devote my undivided time to duties so much in
unison with my strong and early feelings towards India and its
people. I hbpe, also, that the public zeal shown by my late father,
Sir Charles Forbes, during a long residence at Bombay, and after-
wards both in and out of Parliament, to promote the best interests
of India and its native population, combined with my own sympathy
for India as my birth-place, may be received by you as a guarantee
of my earnest et deavonr to imitate my father's example.
I have the honour to be,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
Your obliged and obedient Servant,
GEORGE FORBES.

By Orier of the Directors, the Coupons will be paid, as they be-
come due, on presentation, at Messrs. Dimsdale, Drewett, and Co.,

The Chicago and Mississippi Railroad connects, in nearly a straight
line, the rapidly increasing city of Chicago, the great commercial
port of Lake Michigan, with Alton and St. Louis, on the Mis-
sissippi.
The length of the line is 2.55 miles, In the course of which it passes
through Springfield, the capital of the State of Illinois, and through
the county towns of eight of its most flourishing counts. s. 72 miles
of the road from Alton to Springfield were opened on the 10th of
Seatember last ; 59 miles more from Springfield to Bloomington,
where it will connect with the Illinois Central Railroad, are expected
to be opened in August of the present year, and the remainder by
January, 1854.

The receipts on the small portion of the road now open have al-
ready exceeded 600 dollars per day, and more goods have been of-
fered thin the Company has been able to convey.
The Ca, Mal stock of the uompany authorise..l to be created is
3,500,00 dollars, of which there has been Already subscribed and
secured to the Company 2,500,000 dollars,

The Bond 4 now offered are part of the first and only Mortgage of
2,000,000 dollars. _ _

A t a meeting of the Board of Directors, held on the 7th of October,
1852, it was resolved that, after the eßpiratiqn of one year from the
completion of the road, a sufficient sum, for the redemption of the
Boeds, ashen they become due, shall be reserved every half-yearo the
of the profits of the Company, before any dividends are made n
Stock.

The cost of the Railroad Including the plant, is estimated at
4,250,000 dollars, and the nett income at 645,030 dollars, which is
equivatent to more than 15 per cent. on the whole out'ay.
A portion of the bonds are new offered to the pnblic at 89 per cent.,
or 2001. ss. for each 1,000 dollars. At this price, they will yield to
the subscriber fal'y 7 per "cent. per annum, the interest being 141.
ss. 10d. per bond; and the holder will, in all probability, incur no
loss at the period of redemption, from the exchange with America.
Further particulars may be obtained of, and applications for the
bonds made to
