At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
22d day of October, 1845,
It was unanimously resolved,
First—That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after'meny months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second—That the promoters of the undertaking -abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themeelves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway
which should be selected by Goirernment, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Goverumont, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry incline& the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforseen circumstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return fur investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first cemvntudeation with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.
Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have beers announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part . and portion of the
scheme of the East liidfrui Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of • the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Goverment. •
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 128,000 shares of 501. each be created, en which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, bo reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Propriftors and the public.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.
In conformity with the above arrangement ft is requested that all
holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above previ-
sions, do send in their scrip on or before the 20th November next,
accompanied by an application addressed to the Secretary in the lot-
owing form:—

THE public is most respectfully informed that
Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, aording to th
specification in the Act 6 and 7 Vict., cap 65, to alter a ccnd otherwise
adapt the coat, known as the REGISTERED PA LETOT, to be
suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma-
terial, viz., of milled Llama cloth ; it is waterproofbd by the new
method, hich, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the
heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains
as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect
being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but
not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter
wear is a garment that Is warm without being heavy, which,
even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber-
some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being
so much shortened by preseut railway and other conveyances.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking
exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but _hat .an equally neat and
gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three
guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob-
served that those principles are retained that has obtained for
the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the
Crowned Heads of Europe. The Prince Consort, Prince
George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin-
cipal families in the kingdom, who it is well known are
distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis.
tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar
or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of
the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as-
sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob-
tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities ; but as
only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt
on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and
such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided
in the Act beforementioned ; and In flirtherance of which a reward
of fifty pounds will lie paid fin* information that may lead to the
conviction of such parties by 11, J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent-
street, Loadou.
