The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com-
pany having ascertahied that it is the intention of the French Govern-
ment to lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the
State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all fur-
ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the
line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount
necessary for this purpose. In conformity with the terms of sub-
scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con-
templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering
to the Shareholders Two New Shares for every Old Share, sub-
ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the
former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found
necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of
this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the
original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst.
Notice is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre-
scribed time will be eonsidered to have waived their claim to the ad-
ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriaLd.

The Provisional Committee have received such a satisfactory and
encouraging confirmation of their views, and such urgent applications
for Shares that they have determined to allott the Shares before the
close of the month of March.
The Provisional Committee will, in the course of a few days, pub-
Hsh from the most careful calculations, the extent of the actual ex-
isting traffic on this line of country, and which fully justifies the
expectation of a very profitable return to the Shareholders.
The Committee refer with satisfaction to the anipaxed resolutions
in favour of this Line of Railway :
MALDON, WITHAM, AND BRAINTREE
RAILWAY.

At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of 17±ahlon (called by the Mayor,
pursuant to a requisition), held at the Tows Hall, on Friday, the
2Sth day of February, 1845 :
Moved by Mr. GEORGE MAY ; seconded by Mr. JOSEPH WRIGHT.
That the inhabitants of Maldon, having had their attention
directed to the formation of a Line of Railway from Malden to
Braintree (at intervals) during the last twenty years, by persons
unconnected with the trade and interests of the place, whose object
has been merely to make a successful speculation,—have hitherto
opposed such an undertaking ; but that they arenow convinced, from
the advances made in other districts, by means of Railways, that it
is necessary for the good of Maldon and the country supplied from
that port, that Railway communication with Braintree, via Witham,
should be established.
Moved by Mr. Pavan ; seconded by Mr. hENRY llssiinsfeci.
That the several Plans for Railway communication with Mahlon
now before the public having been well considered, the Merchants,
Tradesmen, and Inhabitants of Maldon are convinced the separate
and distinct Line, called " The Maldon, Witham, and Braintree
Railway," is the one which should be supported by the Inhabitants of
Maldon, as being by far the mast likely to benefit the Town of
Malden and Country through which it is proposed to pass and approach.
Moved by Mr. RICKARDS ; seconded by Mr. Crumais
The this meeting views with satisfaction the exertions made to
bring the proposed Line fairly before the public, and that it is the de-
terminatiol of the Inhabitants of Maldon to support it to the utmost
of their power, as it is considered that it will be a public benefit as
well as a safe investment of capital.
Moved by Mr. WILSISIIIIRST ; seconded by Mr. STEPHEN CROSS.
That these resolutions be printed and circulated amongst the
Nobility, Members of Parliament, and persons of influence in and
connected with the neighbourhood.
Tho foregoing Resolutions were carried unanimouslMAY, ALFRED Mayor.
Applications for Shares in the annexed form may be made to the
Solicitors at Witham ; or at the Office of the Company, 25, Gresham-
street, London ; to Messrs. Valiance and Valiance, Solicitors, 20,

TO ALL CONSUMERS OF TEAS AND COFFEES THROUGH-
OUT THE UNITED KINGDOM.
THE BRITISH HONG-KONG TEA COM-
PANY inform the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and Families
generally, that in addition to their largo Wholesale business, they
have new opened those extensive and commodious Premises, Nos. 12,
and 13, NICHOLAS-LANE, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITT,
as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none but
genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at au unprecedented
mallness of profit.
In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now
imported ender the name of Tea, there never was a period when
the public required, with a view to both Health and Economy, to be
more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Toes and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
meri t.
The Company invite attention to their P.XPLANATORT
AMPIILET, containing a full description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,
&c., which will be sent Post Free, on being applied tbr ; but the fol-
lowing are confidently recommended.
