The Committee of Shareholders direct the attention of the
Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors
of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders
for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in
the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf-
ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im-
pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which
would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab-
lished dividend-paying company.
There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with
the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the
Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the
Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of
the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar-
rangement.

The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object,
and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the
meeting, and If they vote for the continuance of the project to do so,
accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the
advantage of amalgamation.
It is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the
meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a
friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the
Commlteo, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H.
Phillipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before Trmasnav next,
when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme-
diately after the meeting.
By order of the Committee,
