In future you'll patronise Hyam for Clothes.

The Company have great pleasure in announcing to the Public,
that since issuing their last Advertisements, they have availed them-
selves of the opportunity of testing, by practical operations the
utility and applicability of their Apparatus for Manufacturing Gas
on the Premises of the Consumer, and they feel great pleasure in
stating that it hastbeen adopted by the Birmingham, North Midland,
and Midland Railway Companies, and Is now In active use at the
following Railway Stations :
Tring Station, Birmingham Line.
Methley Station, North Midland Line.
Keg-worth Station, Midland Line.
At which places it has been used with the utmost success, belle as
regards the Station and Signal Lights, producing in point of bril-
liancy and steadiness a most powerful light.
The Apparatus has also been used at various Lace Mills and Factories,
'situate at Nottingham, Derby, and elsewhere, giving the greatest
/Whit-action.
The full particulars whereof, and the purposes to which the inven-
tion is applicable, are embodied in the Company's Prospectus, which
may be obtained of the solicitor, and at the Company's Offices.
In carrying out this Invention, the Company hold out to the Share-
holders a return upon their capital of about 50/. per cent. In stating
this return at so large an amount of profit, it will be borne in mind
that this Corn etny have not to contend with any of the heavy ex-
penses to which other Gas Light Companies are subjected, such as
large establishments for the manufacture of Gas, the erection and
working of furnaces, steam-engines, laying down, taking up and re-
pairing of pipes, poor-rates, &c. &c.
To bring this valuable patent and profitable invention into opera-
tion, it is proposed to form a Company by raising the sum of 100,0007.
In 5,000 shares of 207. each.
A deposit of two shillings per share to be paid to the Bankers of
the Company, for which a receipt will be given, exchangeable for the
certificate of the Company entitling the holder to au allotment of

Board of Directors; and, when formed, a General Meeting to be
held to approve the Deed of Settlement now drawn up under the

further particulars obtained from, the Solicitor to the Company, and
also of the Secretary, at the Company's Offices.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.-
The Committee of Shareholders hereby give notice that
no further Signatures to the petition can be received, nor Scrip
marked as approving of the AMALGAMATION with the EASTERN
COUNTIES COMPANY after TUESDAY next, the 26th instant.
By order of the Committee,

HENRY PHILIPPS.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
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
Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H.
Philipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before THURSDAY next,
when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme-
diately after the meeting.
