TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
mR. MELVILLE'S ELECTION this day
having relieved many of my friends from their engagements,
I am now assured of the support of so large a number of your
body, that, whilst I shall spare no pains in the further prosecution
of my canvass, I feel justified in respectfully announcing to you,
that I shall certainly proceed to the ballot, on the first vacancy in
the Court of Directors, with entire confidence of success.
Having on former occasions sulmitted to you the grounds of long
employment in some of the highest offices of the Bengal Civil Service,
upon which I venture to solicit your suffrages, and being now the
senior candidate for the honourable distinction which I seek at your
hands, I earnestly solicit the votes of those Proprietors who have
not already honoured me with their support.

THE ITALIAN and AUSTRIAN, RAILWAY
COMPANY.

£2,454,191 13 6

The Directors have the satisfaction to inform the Proprietors that
they have succeeded in obtaining from His Royal Highness the grand
Duke of Tuscany, in preference to twenty-two competitors, a grant
foi sixty years, of a railway from 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. .

The Committee of Management, in acquainting their Shareholders
that the necessary preparations are being made to prosecute this un-
dertaking in the next session of Parliament, have also the satisfaction
of stating, that while considerable engineering improvements will be
made in the line, the main features which obtained for it the favour-
able report of the Board of Trade, will be preserved. The Committee
are in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany and the• Birmingham Canal Company, for the construction of
the portion of the main line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, on
the banks of the Canal, the result of which will be advantageous to
the Shareholders in the saving of cost and distance on this portion of
the line; the whole line will also be constructed with the additional
assistance and superintendence of Mr. R. Stephenson.
The Committee have also determined upon the construction of a
branch from the main line to the mining district of Coalbrook Dale,
in connexion with other projectect railways, and also in extending the
main line from Shrewsbury to join a railway which has been pro.
jected by the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Company, to Welsh-
pool and Newtown. Full powers will be taken in the new Parlia-
mentary contract and subscribers' agreement for these purposes, and
to undertake other branches and extensions, which the Committee
have in contemplation, with a view to ensure a profitable return to
the proprietors.
The subscribers' agreement and contract, requisite for complying
with the Standing Orders of Parliament in the next session, will lie
for signature at the Company's office, from Monday, the 7th of July,
until Saturday, the 19th, after which they will be transmitted to the
Company's agents in the country.
The Committee are happy to be able to state that the local interest
in favour of this railway continues unabated ; and, as far as they can
at present form a judgment, they are satisfied that no further de-
posit will be required for prosecuting the Bill in the next session of
Parliament.

SEA SICK N E S S.- -THOMPSON'S
REMEDY. Incomparably the best yet offered. In a trial
extending over two years, it was found efficacious iu ninety-three
cases out of every hundred, in curing or preventing sea sickness. It
is tasteless, readily administered, and may be given with perfeet
safety to an infant. The packet, of eight powders, only occupies the
bulk of a small card-case, and weighs little more than half an ounce.
The steady and increasing sale of this very efficacious remedy for
sea sickness, Induces the Proprietors to make it more generally
known. Sold by the Proprietors, J. Thompson and Son, Chemists,
Church-street, Liverpoel. Wholesale, by W. S. Rumsey, (sole agent
for London), wholesale Chemist, 3, Queen-street-place, City. And
