This company is established to introduce Railways into the
Punjaub, commencing at Mooltan, and proceeding to Lahore
and Umritsir.
The line will be about 230 miles in length, and will be con-
nected with the_Scinde Railway by an improved system of
Steam Navigation between Hyderabad, the upper terminus of
the Scinde Railway and Mooltan, and will place Lahore,
Uraritsir, and other important towns in communication with
Kurrachee, the natural port of Scinde, the Punjaub, and
lasighbouring territories.

" Lahore, situated on the Ravee, is the capital of the Pun-
jaub and the seat of its political administration. The town
is very extensive, and carries on a brisk internal trade. The
civil station of Anarkullee, and the large military station of
Ifeean Meer, are likewise attached to it. Umritsir, the
commercial capital of the Punjaub, distant 3f miles, is at
least equal, if not superior, to De hi, in population and
Wealth. The intervening country is level, and without
even a nullah 'of any size, and an intercourse of so great
an extent is maintained between them that the road is literally
thronged day and night with every description of wheeled
vehicle, horses, camels, &c., and foot passengers; in short,
more resembling the street of a town than a mere communica-
tion between two cities so far apart. Umritsir is the grand
entrepot for the commerce of the cis-Sutlej States—the rich
and mountainous region eastward to Kote Kangra—the horses,
fruits, and woollens of Cabul and Bokhara, the shawls and
other produce of Cashmere, Yarkhand, and the mountainous
country towards the north-east—in fact, of the whole Pun-
jaub and the countries encircling it, are here concentrated.
Mooltan is a large town and military station on the Sutlej or
Ghara, so termed after its conjunction with the Beas. It is
quickly becoming an important emporium, for it is the con-
necting link to the trade of Northern with South-Western
India. or rather Bombay and Europe. Kurrachee, situated at
the mouth of the Indus, is fast advancing into prosperity and
into notice as a seaport ; it will probably soon be known as
the first in the empire, being superior to Calcuttit, Madras, or
oven Bombay-"—Calcutta Englishman.
Sir Justin Sheil, late British Ambassador in Persia, has re-
cently advocated the great political advantages t i be derived
"from a railway running the whole length of the left bank of
the Indus."
For commercial and social as well as state purposes, the
improvement of the transit along this ancient line of commu-
nication has become a necessity.
The local authorities, especially Mr. Bartle Frere, the Com-
missioner in Scinde, and Sir. John Lawrence, the Chief Com-
missioner in the Punjaub, concur in the necessity of affording
to the provinces drained by the Indus and its tributaries a
free access to their port of shipment. The latter of these dis-
tinguished gentlemen, in a recent despatch to the Govern.
ment of India, makes the following forcible remarks :
" Indeed, these two essentials, viz , the railroad and the
steamers, may be said with truth to be the crying wants of
the Punjaub in the di partment of public works. These pro.
sided, the commerce and produce of those territories will be
turned to their due course, viz., the Indus and its feed-
ers, and to their natural outlet, viz., the port of Kurra-
chee."
" For the railroad the face of the Doab offers an unusual
equality of surface. The Chief Commissioner, while depre-
cating any general extension of the public works department
in the Punjaub fortho present, would yet beg most earnestly
to press these cardinal objects on the attention of the Go-
vernment. He believes that, if carried out, they would
effect more for the development of the resources of those
territories than any ether work, or number of works, that
could be devised."
A railway from Mooltan to Lahore and Umritsir wouldnot
only afford an outlet to the impeded traffic of the Punjaub
and neighbouring territories, but would of necessity greatly
enhance the importance and value of the line from Kurrachee
to Hyderabad. Scinde and the Punjaub (including the States
under control), cover an area of 1311,000 square miles, with
a population of nearly twenty-five minions. The flower of
the European and native army occupies these provinces, and
numbers 70,000 men, more than 15,000 of whom are Euro-
peans.

- The Directors having received official information that the
views long entertained by them, as to the best mode of in-
troducing improved means of transit along the line of the In-
dus, has been approved by the local authorities, and permis-
sion having been obtained from the Honourable East India
Company, for making the necessary surveys of the country
between Mooltan, Lahore, and Umritsir, a superintending
engineer of ability and experience, with a carefully selected
staff of six engineers, left England for India on the 4th of Sep-
telaber last.
Such deed as the Directors may consider proper for the
regulation of the Company, and for carrying out the objects
in view, will be prepared ; and if any Shareholder should
fail to execute the same, for one month after the publication
at a notice in the Times newspaper, calling on the Propietors
so to do, his Shares, with the deposit paid thereon, will be-
come forfeited to the use of the Company,
