Offices, 5, Gresham-street, Bank,
London, November 7, 1845,

The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Railway
Company have much satisfaction in informing the Proprietors that
they have concluded an arrangement with the Great Western:Com-
pany, the South Wales, Vale of Neath, and Worcester, Hereford,
and Gloucester Companies, by which an Amalgamated Bread
Gauge Scheme for completing the railway communication with the
Miocral Districts of South Wales will be submitted to Parliament
with their united support.
The Acting Committee of the Great Eastern and Western Com-
pany have felt that, amidst the conflicting interests around them, it
was their duty to look rather to the security of their Proprietors than
to the absolute integrity of their original plan ; but having secured
its virtual integrity by obtaining a share in the capital, sad a repre-
sentati on at the boards of the two Companies by which parts of
the work will be executed, they feel confident that their Proprietors
will approve an arrangement by which much useless expense will
lye avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Parlia-
ment to the general plan materially increased, whilst a continuous
interest in the line from Neath to Worcester is preserved.

They have only to add that, as regards money, they are fully pre-
pared to meet Parliament, and that they have received the roost
confident assurances from their engineer and their solid:ors that
nothing can interfere with the deposit of their plans, sections, and
books of reference, within the time prescribed by the standing
orders. By order,
JOHN HUGHES, Secretary.

although the shares have been allotted, the Acting Committee will

AILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
1..11, That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that h.tve appeared in the public papers, and in the pro-
spectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am
desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New-
port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried,
declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc-
onofrallways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen
was a lthe same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the
allway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee
o state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ-
ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would
pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition
to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.
C.W. ESTCOURT, Hon. Secretary to the Committee.

P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the
Direct Ryde and Ventnor Railway. I am instructed by the Com-
mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided
opposition as the former projects.

In consequence of the great number of applications for share-
in this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion o ithe Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, becumpelled most
strictly:to adhere:—

" As, ander arrangements entered into with the Lynn and Ely,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number of shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can be attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

► In reply to the attacks of a portion of the Metropolitan Press rela-
tive to the financial condition of the new Railway Projects, the Com-
mittee of Management of this undertaking have great pleasure in
submitting the under-mentioned STATEMENT of their ACCOUNTS
to the consideration of the Shareholders and the public :
By amount received in respect of deposits, exclusive of the
sum received from members of the Provisional Committee £44,041
By amount received in respect of deposits on shares allotted
to members of the Provisional Committee, no member

The Committee beg further to state, that 40,0001. of the above
sum is now at interest in the hands of the Company's Bankers, the
balance remaining to the credit of their account for the necessary
expenses attendant on the working of the Bill. The Committee feel
convinced that the above statement will in itself be sufficient evi-
dence of the soundness of THEIR financial condition. Should, how-
ever, any doubt still exist, the Committee will have as much plea-
sure in justifying their assertion as in making it.
