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-
lish 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 annexed resolutions
in favour of this Line of Railway :
MALDON, WITHAM, AND BRAINTREE .
RAILWAY.
At a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Maldon (called by the Mayor,
pursuant to a requisit'on), held at the Tows Hall, on Friday, the
28th day of February, 1845 :
Moved by Mr. GEORGE MAY; seconded by Mr. JosErn WRIGHT.
That the inhabitants of Maldon, having had their attention
directed to the formation of a Line of Railway from Maldon to
Braintree tat 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 are now convinced( from
the advances made In other districts, by means of Railways, that it
is necessary for the good of Malden and the country supplied from
that port, that Ra lway communication with Braintree, via William,
should be established.
Moved by Mr. PATH], ; seconded by Mr. Timmy FIARRIDANCE.
That the several Plans for Railway communication with Maldon
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
Malden, as being by far the m'st 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. CHARLES lICRRELL.
Tim' this meeting views with satisfaction the exertions made to
bring the proposed Line fairly before the public, and that it is the de-
termination 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. WiLmstinasT ; seconded by Mr. STEPHEN Caoss.
That these resolutions be printed and circulated amongst the
Nobility, Members of Parliament, and persona of influence in and
connected with the neighbourhood.
The foregoing Resolutions were carried unanimously.
ALFRED MAY, Mayor.

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 large Wholesale business, they
have Re-! opened those extensive and commodious Premises, Nos. 12,
and 13, NICHOLAS-LANE, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY,
as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none bat
genuine,- and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an 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 transactloris,, and the arrangements
they have made for securing Hie choicest growths of Tead and
Coffees the World produces, the Colnpany feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but r trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
'merit.
The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY
PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various sorts
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, wills prices,
&c., which will be sent Post Free, en being applied for ; but the fol-
lowing arc confidently recommended.
