The Board take this opportunity of calling the attention of all par-
ties who have signified a desire to obtain an interest in this under-
taking to the following statement of its progress and present position.
This Company was the drat to put itself into communication with
the Hon. Court of Directors of the East India Company, as noticed
in the published dispatch to the Governor-General of the 7th of May
last. It claimed the consideration of the Honourable Court on the
ground of the great importance of its undertaking, socially, com-
mercially, and politically, to the provinces of the Peninsula between
Bombay and Central India, on the one hand, and Hyderabad and
the eastern districts on the other. In administering the interests of
the Company the Directors consider they will best advance them by
adhering in their proceedings to the principles recognised by the
Honourable Court in their dispatch above mentioned. With this
view they will continue to prosecute a full and detailed inquiry into
the resources and traffic of the districts which their Dues are in-
tended to accommodate.

Their manager, Mr. Chapman, with three assistant engineers, is,
under the recommendation of the Bombay Committee, already en-
gaged in examining the country from Bombay, in a north-easterly
direction, to Oomrawuttee, in the province of Berar, the largest and
most fertile of the cotton districts dependent upon the port of Bombay,
situate in the direct route to Calcutta, and adjoining the province of
Malwa. After selecting the line generally as far as Oomrawuttee,
Mr. Chapman will return and survey it in detail to Bombay, so as to
admit of such a definitive plan and estimate being prepared as will
enable the Directors, as speedily as possible, to apply to the Honour-
able Court and the Indian Government for a charter empowering the
Company to commence that portion of their lines.
The result of these preliminary proceedings will be submitted to
the consideration of the Shareholders before any outlay is incurred
in the actual construction of works :or any further call made beyond
the 21. 10s.

Thus fortified by accurate details and surveys, the Directors will
also feel themselves is a position to claim at the hande of the Indian
Government that they shall, in the terms of their dispatch, " take
into consideration the mode and extent of such pecuniary assistance
as they shall think proper to afford towards the execution of the
lines" thus approved.

_ .
The Directors wish further to point out that this Company, which
takes for the theatre of its immediate operations the Presidency of
Bombay, does not in any respect interfere with the East India Rail-
way Company, associated for similar purposes as respects the Pre-
sidency of Bengal. On the contrary, the undertakings of the two
Companies, it is hoped, may be made reciprocally beneficial to each
other, and generally advantageous to the Indian Empire.
Extracts from correspondence subsequent to the date of that lately
published for the information of parties interested will lie for the
same purpose at the offices of Messrs. White and Borrett, 35, Lin-
coln's Inn-fields, and L. M. Simon's, Esq., 7, Waniford-court, Throg-
morton-street, where on application they can be seen.

NOTICE TO EQUITABLE POLICY HOLDERS.
U NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to
the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by
which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in
January, 1850, may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one-
half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the
sum insured will be paid less the amount ofpremiurns on credit. Should
the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be
allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the
half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the
party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up
by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first
accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was
found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1840,
when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected
are still in force, and latge bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following table;--
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sum added to Policy.

Capital 6,000,0001., in 120,000 Shares.
Shares, 501. each. Deposit, 21. 10s. per Share.
The Provisional Board of Direction desire to announce that they
will this day proceed with the allotment of shares in the Company.

Pursuant to the first intimation received on the subject of registra-
tion, as stated in the Company's original:prospectus, registration would
not have been required in this country. But subsequent communi-
cations, together with the rapid progress which has been made in the
opinion of the authorities and the community at large at Bombay,
and the necessity of negotiations with the Honourable the Court of

Directors of the East India Company and the Home Government,
as also with the Supreme Government at Calcutta, where the India
Railway Board is established, have rendered it important that the
Company ehould, under the Registration Act, be organised as a con-
stituted body as soon as possible. It has, therefore, been determined
by,the Directors not to wait for the Indian Charter, which cannot
be granted till after a definite portion of their lines has been sanc-
tioned by the Indian Government, but to effect provisional regis-
tration, and proceed with complete registration as soon as the forms
and requirements of the Registration Act can he complied with.
Meanwhile, in conformity with that Act, the deposit of Si. 10s. per
Share will be received in two separate payments, viz., ss. on execut-
ing the subscribers contract, upon issue of the letters of allotment,
when a banker's receipt will be given, and the balance of 2/. 55., on
WEDNESDAY, the 10th day of December next, when the said receipt
will be exchanged for scrip, and before which day complete registra-
tion will have been effected.
This necessary alteration in their plans renders It expedient at once
to allot the greater part of the shares to be issued is this country. It
is on this footing that the allotment will be made. It being, hew•
ever, still distinctly understood that no reserved shares shall be is-
sued at a subsequent period, the full benefit of which shall not accrue
and be appropriated to the advantage of the Company.
I 'Should any applicant for shores object to the course now an-
nounced, he will be at liberty to withdraw his application on or be-
fore the 12th instant.
