Scrip produced.

J. J. HOPE JOHNSTONE, Chairman,
JOHN MARE, Secretary.
28, Parliament street, Westminster, May 14, 1846.

CThe Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
ALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Bill for incorporating the
Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the
House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with
the least possible delay.
A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with
the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament,
at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company
should be represented.
Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge
their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt
for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the
Meeting, viz. :
Mr. John 'Starr, Secretary to the Cempany, 28, Parliament-street,
Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W. S., Princes-street,
Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street,
Glasgow.
In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western
Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to redace the amount
of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a
very considerable extent.
The project, as now limited, consists, first, of the Branch from
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,
opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral
in in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow, from which a
be expected, as the gas coal of Lesmahagow
vicsoe ra

there
large return

ofwomay
ts superior quality, and for that description of
.(kinds already in the hands of the Di-
an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as
for home
rectors willconsump be applied, in ]the first instance, to the construction of
this line.
The other portions of the line will open a direct communication
in eonjun:tion with the Caledonian Railway from the important
town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one hand, and
Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other.
These lines also pass through extensive mieeral fields, and the local
traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the im-
mediate formation of these works as equally pres sing, inasmuch
as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the corn-
, pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway.
Under these circumstances it will not he necessary to press incon-
veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls.
A question will come before the meeting as to the propriety of
insertink, a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors to allow in-
terest on the amount of calls from the ,tate of payment.
