IN fulfilment of their pledge, the. DIREC-
TORS-11- of the GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY
COMPANY have applied to Parliatnent for authority to
construct two portions of the RAILWAY between
LONDON and BRISTOL, and they have much saris
hetion in recording the division in favour of the Second
Reading of the Bill in the House of Commons:—

In favour of it lB2
Against it
Majority —9o

The principle of this measure, as a National Undertak-
ing, having been thus established, the Directors hereby
announce their fixed determination to apply in the ensuing
Session for power to complete the Line, in pursuance of
the original design, upn the Subscription List being
completed to the extent of 20,000 Shares, including those
already subset bed.
Allotment will therefore be made of Shares upon appli-
cation to the Secretary in London or Bristol.
The Shares so applied for will he available indiscrimi-
nately, in conjunction with those already taken, for the
general purposes of the two sections, (the Bill for which is
now before Parliament) and also for the intermediate Line,
so as to entitle the Proprietors to a general participation
in the revenue upon the whole undertaking.
Subscribers will be required .to pay a Deposit of W. on
each Share of 1001., and no further call can be made until
an Act of Parliament shall have been procured.
The liability for further calls upon Shares ceases when
duly transferred, and in no case can any Proprietor be
responsible beyond the amount of his Subscripti,n.
