The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an
amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Broscley, and Ironbridge
Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share-
holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this
Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two
Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley
Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital
and Parliamentary Deposit of 10 per cent., and the capital requisite
for the entire scheme of this Company, including a line from Dudley
to Madeley next year, will be secured.
The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne-
cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to have their Scrip
Certificates stamped. They are, therefore, requested to send them
to the Company's Office for that purpose.
By order,
GEORGE IRK etX, Secretary.

The Committee of Management of this Company have much sa-
tisfaction in announcing to their Shareholders that an amalgama-
tion, on mutually advantageous terms, has been agreed on between
this Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany.
By the agreement which has been entered into, it is stipnlated
that Two of the Shares in the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company
shall be given in exchange for Three Shares in this Company. That
six members of the Managing Committee of this Company shall be
added to the Committee of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com-
pany, and that application shall be made by the amalgamated Com-
pany in the next practicable session of Parliament for power to make
the line between Dudley and Madeley.
Notice is hereby given, that the Shareholders in this Company
must forward their scrip to the Secretary, at Stourbridge, on or
before SATURDAY, the 17th instant, and signify (in the form given
below), their election either to receive back their deposit, less their
proportionate share of the expenses incurred, or to take in exchange
their proportionate number of shares in the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham Company.
Parties who may elect to receive back their deposits, may at once
receive 21. per share on account, and the balance as soon as the
amount of the expenses incurred shall have been ascertained.
Parties who may elect to take shares in the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham Company, may, in like manner, on depositing their scrip,
obtain a letter of allotment for their proportionate number of shares
therein, which letter will be forwarded to the original Shareholders
of this Company immediately and to others so soon as the Di-
rectors shall be satisfied of the sufficiency of the applicants; and
parties *ho shall fail to send in their scrip on or before SATURDAY,
the 17th instant, will be considered as having elected to receive back
their deposit less the expenses.
In cases where the proportion of the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham shares to be received shall amount to a fractional part of a
share, the Shareholders will have the option of paying or receiving
the difference in value between such proportion and an entire share.

.........
Arrangements will be made and announced, as soon as possible,
for procuring the signature of the Shareholders to such deeds as the
altered circumstances of the Company have rendered necessary.
By order of the Committee,
W. S. DARKIN, Secretary.
