MEREWETHER.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
THE continued kind support of my friends and
my increased strength by the accession of a further number
or Inflow-Iva proprietors, had led me to hope that I should have been
obis to fulfil the in ention I expressed in my letter of Bth November
la it, to solicit your suffrages for the next vacancy in the East Inc is
Direction ; but the unexpected termination of the contest between
Mr. Madoribanks 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 influenced me to seek the office of a Director
were ccnsequent on my retirement from mercantile pursuits, which
had connected me with India during a period of twenty-thi ee
thus ensblirg me to devote my undivided time to duties so much in
unison with my strong and early feelings towards India and its
people. I hope, 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
or India and its native population, combined with my own syngathy
for India as my birthplace, may be received by you as a guarantee
my earnest endeavour to imitate my father's example.

I have the honour to be,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
Your obliged and obedient Servant,
GEORGE FORBES.

-71 he Chicago a d 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 255 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 count!, s. 72 miles
of the read from Alton to Springfield were opened on the 10th of
Seotember 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 than the Company has been able to convey.
The Ca dial Stock of the t. ompany authorised to be created is
3,500,003 dollarS, of which there has been already subscribed and
secured to the Company 2,500,000 dollars.
