FLY and BURY ST. EDMUNDS RAILWAY.
A 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 1 the Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be compelled most
strictly:to adhere :
" As, under 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.
By order,
L. F. IIDWARDS, Secretary pro tern.

GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN
RAILWAY.

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 Westeni.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
Mineral 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, and 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
be 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 most
confident assurances from their engineer and their solicitors 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,

RAILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
That the public may not be misled by the various statements
that have appeared in the public papers, and is 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-
onofrailways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen
Was ,a ithe same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the
allway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee
state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ-
mtial 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, lion. Secretary to the Committee.
P.S. Another scheme having been preliminarily announced as the
Direct Ryde and Yentnor Railway, I am instructed by the Com-
mittee to state that this latter will meet with the same decided
oppoottiowas the former projects.
