The East Indian railway is open to Ranegunge, on the
route to Delhi, and will soon be completed to Rajmahal. The
object of the present undertaking is to construct a northerly
extension to Dinajpore and Darjeeling, accommodating the
districts of Rungpore, Malda, and Purneah. The total length
of railway to be constructed will be between 200 and 300
miles, to be undertaken in sections, as the Court of Directors
Of the East IndiatCompany may direct. -" •
The proposed lines will accommodate a country of great
traffic and vast resources. The lower country sends largely
to Calcutta, for consumption and shipment, sugar, tobacco,
cotton, hemp, jute, rice, oil seeds, &c., and in the upper
country the production of copper and tea are being extended,
for all which these lines will be the chief route. The hill re-
gions also produce coal and other mineral productions, and
the railways proposed command the traffic to Assam and
Central Asia. Besides this, Darjeeling, which enjoys a cli-
mate equal to that of England, is a sanitarium of great im-
portance to the community of Calcutta, and will command a
first-class traffic, which will be greatly increased when the
distance is reduced from a week of laborious travelling to a
single day of convenient spirit.
The Directors are in communication with the Hon. East '
India Company with a view to place this Company upon the
same basis as the other Indian Railway Companies, under a
guarantee of a minimum rate of interest. Should this arrange-
ment, which is regarded by the Directors as an essential and
indispensable condition, not be effected, the deposit of three
shillings per share will be returned, less the expenses which
shall have been incurred. The allottees will not be required
to eccecuto any deed, but will receive Scrip Certificates in ex-
change for the Bankers' Receipts, without incurring liability.
Applications for Shares may be sent to the Brokers, Messrs.
Scott, Corthorn, and Scotts, 16, Throgmorton-street, or to
the Company's offices, No. 2, King's Arms-yard (E.C.), in the
annexed form ; but no application will be considered, unless
a deposit of three shillings on each Share applied for is pre-
viously made to Messrs. Glyn, Mllls, and Co., Bankers of
the Company. The deposit will he returned if the applica-
tion isinot acceded to.
