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 ahsre 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 ei.pent`e ITV!
ke avoided, and the probability cf obtaining the sanction of Perna•
ment to the general plan materially increased, whilst a continuous
Interest in theline 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. $y order, .

This railway will connect the east and west coasts, and form a
direct route from the ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Commencing at Lancaster, it
will proceed up the valley of the Lune, by Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergb,
and Kirkby Stephen; and thence by the most practicable Use to New,
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old coach road, :which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle.
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham and Northumberland, and the important towns
and ports of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle, and Lancaster.
The entire length of the line 13 rich in mineral productions—Aye
elate, limestone, marble, and other elements of a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one of the most remunerative
projects of the day. A. considerable saving of distance between the
important towns on the termini is effected over any sesthig er pro-
jected scheme. '
It will be reserved to the Committee'ef Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as May be deemed most advantageous to the interests t ithe
Company. Power will be applied for to allow interest at, the rate
of four per cent. on the calls from the passing of the .Act to the
opening of the line, as well as to limit the liability of the shareholders
to the amount of their subscriptions only.
Prospectuses and torms of application for shares may be had of the
Solicitors, and of the follovring brokers:—

King and Son, and Mr. Bobt. Cardwell and Son, Manchester ; Messrs.

The first ohject of this line is to connect the town of Birmingham
Coventry, and Leicester, with the eastern coast by the nearest route
and to supply an important link of communication between tho town
of Spalding And the eastern coast, and the western and midland
districts. - -

—Commencing at the Spalding station of the Norwich, Dereham,
Lynn, and Holbeach Railways, the line will proceed by Bourn.
Witham, Castle Bytham, South Wytham. and Wynaondham to a
point on the Syston and Peterborough line of railway near Melton-
Mowbray, thus forming, by the Syston and Peterborough and Mid.
land Counties Railway, an almost direct route to Leicester, and
thence to Coi,entry and Birmingham by the proposed Coventry,
Nuneaton, Leicester, and Birmingham Railway.
The projected line will form the most direct communication be-
tween the eastern and midland districts of the kingdom, and will, by
means of the proposed lines across the county of Leicester, via Bar-
ton-upon-Trent, to Stafford, bring the markets of Lincoln, Norfolk,
Shropshire, and North Wales, nearer to each other by many miles
than any other line of railway.
It will form,' with other projected railways, an almost direct line
across the kingdom, from Yarmouth, via Norwich, on the east, to
Aberystwith, via Newton and Shrewsbury, on the west.
The entire length will not exceed thirty miles. There is no tunnel-
ling, cutting, or embanking of any importance necessary; the line
from Bourn to Spalding, a distance of about twelve miles, is very
level, and may be constructed at a small cost.
It will secure the advantages of railway communication to a tract
of country at present destitute of this accommodation, besides open-
ing out sources of trade undeveloped for want of ti•e means of transit.
The central midland districts have felt greatly the want of direct
communication with the coast; And this line will at once supply the
deficiency to the greater part of Staffordshire and Leicestershire.
It will afford a transit for the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Lei-
cestershire coal into districts heretofore entirely dependent upon
supply item the north at high prices: it will also secure the advan-
tages of an unlimited supply of lime from the Leicestershire works,
to the agricultural districts of Lincoln, which are at present only
supplied at very high rates; and, in return traffic, the midland dis-
tricts will obtain the advantage of a direct transit for the stock and
agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
Several proposed lines of railway converge at Spalding, which is
the nearest point on the eastern coast for the midland counties, and
connected by the River Welland with the German Ocean.
The proposed capital will be sufficient for the construction of the
necessary works and every subsequent expense.; and. the income
derivable from the traffic in passengers between Birmingham, Co-
ventry, Leicester, Derby, Melton, Spalding, and Boston, the trans-
port of corn, cattle, and other produce of the great agricultural
districts through which the line passes to the principal consuming
districts, and of coals, lime, and staple commodities for the inland
districts, will be sufficiently ample to warrant the outlay.
The Parliamentary surveys have been commenced, and are now
in active progress, and contracts have been entered" Into which en-
, sure safficient time for compliance with the standing orders.
Forms of application for shares, plans, and prospectuses may be

the same scale of charge as upon their own line, and will also receive

At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
22d day of October, 1815,
It was unanimously resolved,

First—That the East India Raiiway company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
.communication with official authorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
ailways into India.
Second—That the promoters of the undertaking 'abstained from
Adopting any measures towards • the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway
which should be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent open it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the. Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the mouth of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making tke
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Governmont, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforseen circumstances, the . line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated lu the
first communication with the Government, the selection being-left to
the Government.

Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the. Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government. •
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty is the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended seals (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to °eminence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 128,000 shares of 501. each be created, en which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share ;
and that the remaining stares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Proprietors and the public.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.

heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains
as porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect
being that it does not sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but
not that of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter
wear is a garment that is warm without being heavy, which,
even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber-
some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being
so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
over another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking
exercise ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and
gentlemanly appearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three
guineas, that for summer wear being two. It may be ob-
served that those principles are retained that has obtained for
the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the
Crowned Heads of Europe. The - Prince Consort, Prince
George of Cambridge, the chief members of the Court, prin-
cipal families' in the kingdom, who it is_ well known are
distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness of dress. The Regis-
tered Paletot having therefore necessarily excluded anything vulgar
or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to the notice of
the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not further as-
sisted by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob-
tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities; but as
only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt
on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and
such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided
in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward
of fifty pounds will be paid for information that may lead to the
conviction of such parties by 11, J. amid 114, Regent-
