the credit of the Company, with their respective Bankers, a Rather
instalment of 2/. per share on the stock held by them in that Com-

caution-money, which will be required by the respective Govern-
ments. Parties not paying such call will be excluded from all ad-
vantages arising from the creation of new stock.
Tho Directors have further to announce that the direction fir the

with four others appointed by the Italian interest, and six to be ap-
pointed by the Italian and Austrian Company. Two-thirds of the
stock will be divided among the Proprietors of the Italian and Ans.
Wan Company, and the remaining one-third to Messrs. Torlonia

THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN RAILWAY
COMPANY.
The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that
they ha in sacceeded in obtaining frail His Royal Highness the grand
Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant
fo.l sixty years, of a railway !tom Florence to Pestoja, on terms highly
advantageous to the Company. This line presents no engineering
difficulty, and passes through a district densely populated, and rich in
mineral and agricultural productions, and will be connected with the
railway already in operation between Leghorn and Pisa, by means of
the line now forming from Pisa to Florence. The capital will consist
of 8,000,000 of Tuscan livres, equal to about 265,0001. sterling, one-
third of which has been already subscribed for in Tuscany, and the
Directors have secured the remaining two-thirds, which will be dis-
tributed, so soon as the necessary documents have been perfected in
Italy, to such holders of the Italian and Austrian Railway Company's
shares as shall have complied with the terms of the advertisement,
by which a call was made of 21. per share, payable on the 21st July
Instant. Under the original prospectus the Directors were authorised
to take every necessary step to obtain Government grants for the
railway from Verona to Ancona, and to coalesce or make beneficial
arrangements with any companies proposing to construct lines of
railway in connexion 'with the Italian and Austrian Railway Com-
pany or its branches, and the deputation who proceeded to Italy
having found that they could, with great advantage to the Share-
holders, enter upon other railway undertakings in the Italian and
Austrian States, besides the line between Ancona and Verona, deter-
mined upon doing so, and upon giving to the Shareholders the option
of joining these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, tendered for
the valuable grant they have now obtained for the railway from
Florence to Pestoja, and also have entered upon several other nego-
tiations, which, through the aid of the wealthy and influential
parties with whom they are connected at Rome, Bologna, and other
places In Italy, they feel confident will be brought to a successful ter-
mination. The benefits resulting from these negotiations will, as
they arise, be rateably apportioned to those Proprietors who shall,
pay such calls as shall be made from time to time by the Directors
for carrying out fully the objects in contemplation.
