PROPOSED EXTENSION of the LAUN-
CESTON and VICTORIA RAILWAY to PLYMOUTH.

.... .
The Directors of the-Duke of Cornwall's Harbour, and Laun-
ceston and Victoria Railway Company, have the satisfaction of in-
forming the Public that, in compliance with an unanimous Resolu-
tion, passed at a General Meeting of the Shareholders of that Com-
pany, on the 6th inst., arrangements are now in progress for EX-
TENDING their RAILWAY from LAUNCESTON to PLY-
MOUTH. The Company's Engineers, Messrs. Hopkins and Sons,
have received difections foilhwith to make a preliminary survey
thereof, for the purpose of forming a distinct Company, under the
auspices of the present. Directors, and as soon as the report is re-
ceived the result will be publicly announced. Many and great ad-
vantages are expected to be derived to both concerns from this ad-
dition to the original line, as a complete and expeditious communi-
cation will thus be effected between the Bristol and English Chan-
nels. Applicants of known respectability to' whom the Directors
lave been unable to allot shares in the original undertaking, in con-
sequence of the unprecedented demand, will have the preference
to strangers in the allotment of shares for the extended line on sig-
nifying their wish to that effect.
Applications for shares may be made, post-paid, to Charles Gur-
ney, Esq , Solicitor, and John Fairman, Esq., Launceston, or to
Henry Toulmin, Esq., Solicitor, 6, Furnival's nn, London, and to
George Ross, No. 3, Copthall-buildings.—April 12, 1836.

TO the SHAREHOLDERS of the LONDON
and GRAVESEND and LONDON and DOVER RAIL-
WAY COMPANIES.

The Directors of the LONDON and GRAVESEND RAIL-
WAY COMPANY, and of the LONDON and DOVER RAIL-
WAY COMPANY, being aware how fully Government is im-
pressed with the great national importance of a rapid communica-
tion between London and the Coast, have caused different surveys
to be made, in order to ascertain the best possible line for a Rail-
way between those places, regard being had to population, revenue,
and public benefit.
Being satisfied that it will be for the advantage of the Proprie-
tors of both these Companies that their interests should be conso-
lidated in the intended application for an Act in the next Session of
Parliament, and anxious to continue to enjoy that confidence which
has hitherto been reposed in them, the Directors have been in nego-
tiation with the promoters of the new company, aidl haye (subject
to the approbation of the Shareholders) made the following arrange-
ment :

That the holders of Certificates, either in the London and Graves-
end Company or the London and Dover Company, on which a de-
posit of 1/. per Share has been paid, shall have the option of receiv-
ing Scrip Certificates for 21., each, in exchange for two Shares in
either of the said Companies, in the proposed new Company; and
also that such of them as may wish to obtain a further interest in
the new Company shall be allowed a preference in proportion to the
number of Certificates which they may exchange, on making appli-
cation to that effect at the Office of the Company, No. 76, Cornhill,
on or before the Ist day of May.
Any Proprietor who may prefer to have the deposit already made
returned to him may-receive the same, after deducting a proportion
of the expenses which have been incurred, so soon as the accounts
can be made up and settled, of which notice will be given at the
earliest opportunity, provided they express their intention in writ-
ing, to the Secretaries, No. 76, Cornhill, on or before the 22d
April instant.
