The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of
establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern
Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a considerable saving of
time and expense will. be effected in voyages, to and from those
ports.
. . _

It is intended to provide powerful steam boats, built on the most
improved principles in respect of construction and engines, replete
with every possible convenience and comfort, and adapted to the
ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry
a limited quantity of suitable cargo.
The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the
most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with
the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of
the Steam Packet Company, after making ample deduction for ex-
penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi-
tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an
important inerease of revenee to their respective railways.
Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the
Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than 5
per cent. per annu•n on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares
will be distributed among the Proprietors of those two Railway
Companies and of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury
St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares
to the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Railway Compa-
nies, and 6,000 Shares to the Eastern Union and Ipswich and Bury
St. Edmund's Railway Companies.
_ _

The registered Proprietors of the said several Railway Companies,
desirous of participating in the benefits of this undertaking, are re-
quested to signify their intention to take the shares allotted to them
by paying the deposit thereon to either of the Company's bankers.
The proportion of the Harwich Steam Packet Company's Shares for
the holders of the new 14/. 16s. Shares in the Eastern Counties Rail-
way Company, and for the holders of Scrip Shares in the Northern
and Eastern Railway Company, will be set apart for them, and each
holder, on transmitting his Scrip to the office of the Eastern Counties
Railway Company, and requesting an allotment of shares, will re-
ceive a letter of allotment accordingly. The shares not applied for
on or before the 10th day of October next by such Scripholders, will
be allotted by the Directors to such other persons as shall appear to
be most eligible.

The Directors lave already announced to the Shareholders that
arrangements were pending with the London and Birmingham
Railway Company (now the London and North-Western), having for
their object the transfer of the line to that Company, and the return
to the Shareholders in this undertaking of the whole of their deposits.
The Directors recommend the proposed arrangements to the Share-
holders, as being much to their advantage, and most calculated to
ensure the speedy completion of the line, and to afford the best
guarantee of its being efficiently worked for the public convenience.
Those of the Shareholders who are desirous of receiving back, in
conformity with these arrangements, the full deposit of 21. 2s. on
each share, are requested to transmit their scrip to Mr. Henry
Cassin, the Accountant to the Company, at the Company's offices,
at No. 3, Church-court, Old Jewry, London, at any time between
the hours of Ten and Three, from Monday, the 21st instant, to
Monday, the itk of October.
On the scrip, or bankers' receipts, or secretary's receipts for scrip,
being delivered up the holders thereof will receive back the full de-
posit of 21. 2s. upon each share. Those parties who (as holders of
shares in the original Coventry and Leicester and Coventry, Nun-
eaten, Birmingham, and Leicester Companies) have only paid a de-
posit thereon of 11. is., may in like manner receive back 11. ss. on
each such share.
