The Provisional Directors refer with pleasure to the proceedings at
die Meeting of the Inhabitants of Southampton on Monday last, the
Mayor presiding, at which the proposed Railway received a very
cordial and unanimous approval.
The Directors are extremely unwilling to ddp:ive of the opportu-
nity of embarking in the undertaking any porde.' having local or
other claims to consideration, but the pressure for ~hares has been
so overwhelming that to keep the lists open would only occasion
extended disappointment.
They, therefore, give notice that no applications for stares can
be received after Saturday next, and that letters for shams posted
subsequently must be rejected.
