forth be carried on under a new Deed of Settlement, in the name of
the ORIENTAL BANK. The new Deed increases the nominal
amount of each share from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000, or 1001., and per-
mits the conversion of shares to the extent of one• half of the entire
number into English shares, transferable in London, and the dividend
thereon payable there.
The new Deed also provides for the appointment of a Court of
Directors in London, the members of which are already nominated,
and will shortly enter upon the duties of their office. Proprietors
who are desirous ofconverting their shares into English shares are re-
quested to send In application to that effect. The Directors have
fixed Is. 10d. per rupee as the rate of exchange for such conversion.

It may be assumed that a national reward is always bo,towed, in
one shape or other, upon those generous spirits who devote success-
fully the energies of their lives to objects of great public utility.
But, untOrtanately, it too often happens that the publ c gratitude
is not sufficiently aroused till the grave has closed over the public
benefactor.
The services of Lieutenant Waghorn are of a nature which leave
no excuse for transferring to posterity the duty of rewarding then.
The daily increasing importance of the relations of England with
India renders the overland route between the mother country and
her magniti_ent dependency, of which he was pioneer and the princi-
pal agent, one of the most remarkable improvements of the time. In
fact, not only England, but Europe, and even America, participate in
the advantages which Mr. Waghorn's services have secured, and
therefore owe as acknowledgement to the individual who fl-st stepped
forth in the na niter of a forlorn hope to open a path which all may
now safely tread.
It was at first proposed to establish steam communication between
England and India by way of the Cape of Good Hope ; and, in 1827,
Mr. Waghorn, who was then in the naval service of the East India
Company, which subsequently he found necessary to resign, came to
this country, at the instance of a committee in Calcutta, and with the
express sanction of Lord William Bentinck, and employed himself for
two years in furtherance of the scheme. Finding, however, that
there we c insuperable difficulties to the successmul prosecution of the
Cape route, it v. as at length determined to make a trialof that by the
Red Sea, and Mr. Waghorn was selected by Lord Ellenborough, then
President of the India Board, to carry out despatches to Bombay, and
report on the feasibility of establishing a regular communication over-
land through Egypt. This he did, and in this attoupt evinced the
greatest zeal and determln3tion (such remarkable traits in hi-s cha-
racter), by going down the Red Sea In an open boat, the steam ship
expected to meet him at Suez having been prevented by an accident
from performing her voyage.
Mr. Waghorn was now able to determine the relative merits of
the two lines of communication, and the result of his observations led
him to devote his life to the task of opening the path to India through
Egypt. In the prosecution of his plans he visited Bombay, Madras,
Calcutta, and other large stations, in order to point out the surpassing
Importance of this grand object, and then, hastening back to Eng-
land, urged upon the Government and the mercantile community
throughout the kingdom the policy of encouraging the enterprise.
He continued his unabated efforts till 1833, when, to prove the prac-
ticability of his plans, he carried out mails to India himself; and
brought them back thence three several times entirely unassisted.
It is especially deserving of remark that the facilities Mr. Waghorn
has enjoyed from his Egyptian capabilities and influence have always
been used by him for the advantage of his country. In October, 1839,
the mails of September, bringing the news of the capture of Ghuznee,
and also the Bombay and Calcutta mails of July and August, having
reached Alexandria on the day after the English steamer had left
that port, Mr. Waghorn obtained the use of a steamer from the
'Pasha, by which means they arrived in London in time to be
answered by the cutward dispatch on the 4th of November.
In 1837, Mr. Waghorn opened the route through France, thus again
further shortening the communication with India by some days.
Since then the whole of the overland mail system has been taken
under the immediate control of Government, without, however, any
compensation having been made to Sir. Waghorn.
Before this zealous and enterprising individual stepped forth to
devote himself to a task of such naagnitude no part of India could be
reached in less titan four months. The mails from Bombay new
reach England in about thirty-four days, and the regularity with
which the overland communication is conducted is the practical de-
monstration of his original views on the subject,

W. 11. INGHAM, Secretary
47, Parliament-street, London, Aug. 5, 1845.

The daily increasing export trade of port of Southampton, and
the great facilities afforded to the shipping interest by the completion
of the docks, requires that a more direct communication should be
made to it from the manufacturing districts, and from the north of
England and Scotland.
The passing of the Oxford and Rugby, and Oxford, Worcester, and
Wolverhampton Acts this session, has afforded the facil ties of effect-
ing this communication at very little cost.
By making the railway now proposed to be constructed by this
Company, from Didcot, on the Great Western Railway, where
the Oxford Line terminates, through Newbury, to the Southampton
and Gosport Railway, a little south of the Andover station, a distance
of only thirty-three miles, the most direct and the shortest commu-
nication will be formed from Southampton, by the Oxford and Rugby
Railway to Rugby, and thence by the Midland to York and Scotland ;
and also from Rugby by the Trent Valley R tilway to Manchester,
and by the Oxford and Birno Ingham Line to Birmingham and Liver-
pool, and by the Oxfo d, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, to Chelten-
ham, Worcester, Wolverhampton, North Wales, and Birkenhead.
Au examination of the map will show that it is only necessary to
make this very short line to effect a direct railway communication
from Scotland, York, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, to
Southampton, Gosport, Port,mouth, and the Isle of Wight.
The evidence lately given before Parliament proves the very large
trade that there now is from Southampton. All the steamers from
England to Jersey and the Channel Islands, to Portugal, Gibraltar,
the Mediterranean, Malta, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and the
East Indies, depart from and arrive at Southampton. Also, it is the
most direct and shortest course to Paris, through Havre. Large
quantities of fruit, from Greece, Turkey, the Azore Islands, and Por-
tugal, are broue,:ht to Southampton, and also the fish from Devon-
shire and Cornwall, all of which would, by this railway, have a quick
arid easy transit to Oxford, Birmingham, and the manufacturing
districts. _ _

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT.

Q OU T H-EASTERN RAILWAY.
LY The Directors think it desirable to state that they sometime
sinc3 instructed Mr. Stephenson to prepare for Parliament in the
next session a complete system for supplying railway communi-
cation with the whole of Kent. It is proposed to providedirect lines to
Tunbridge, Maidstone, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Faversham,
Canterbury, and Dover. The surveys have been for some weeks in
progress, and the whole scheme will be very shortly in a complete
state. JOHN KIRKLAND, Chairman.

RAILWAY FROM MACCLESFIELD,
passing close to the Towns of Leek, Cheadle, and Uttoxeter,
to the Trent Valley Railway north of Lichfield.
PROVISIONALLY REGISTERED. _ _

The Line will commence at the Terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
Reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Conseil,
thence close to Cheadle and Tean, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent
Valley Railway north of Lichfield, communicating near there with
one of the proposed lines from Dudley or Wolverhampton.
A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic, uniting these two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways, will completely accommodate the local traffic, and throw
open several extensive Coal fields and sonic thousand acres of Wood
land to Manchester, the Potteries, and other great marts of the
kingdom.
This Line is also in some of its principal features the same as that
already approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned
by the Churnet Valley Company—will not comprise more than fifty
miles of Railway, and passing through the centre of the unoccupied
part of the district, does not interfere with the Grand Junction or
any other existing Railway. This and the proposed Line from
Crewe to Derby will also well accommodate the Potteries, giving to
that important locality a direct route to London, Birmingham, and
the South, to Liverpool and the North, and to Derby and the East,
and will also afford a transit for the Eastern counties traffic from
Derby to Manchester. The co-operation of almost all the principal
landowners from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfield having been ob-
tained, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.
A most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of land-
owners and manufacturers, and others locally interested, will shortly
be published. In the meantime references may be made to Matthew
Gaunt, Esq., Hightield House, Leek ; or to Thomas Tumor, Esq.,
Abbots Brotnley, near Uttoxeter.

near, the March-station of the Ely and Peterborough deviation line,
to proceed from thence to Wisbeach, and then to Sutton, there to
form a junction with the Grand Union Railway, in the event of it
having the sanction of the Legislature, and form a direct communica-
tion with the Metropolis, the midland and manufacturing counties,
and complete the chain of railways demanded to develope the traffic
and protect the commercial interest of the town and port of Wisbeach.
The length of the line is about twenty miles, and traverses a country
peculiarly fav'ourable to the formation of a railway, presenting nearly
a continuous level between the tennh;i, thus affording facilities which
will render the construction of the works inexpensive, and insure
their early completion, with the additional and rare advantage of an
economical adoption of locomotive power in working the line. The
districts embraced by the undertaking are highly populous, and
have a very considerable local traffic, the quantity of grain alone
sold in the market of Wisbeach weekly, exceeds 8,000 tons, in addi-
tion to which, there are extensive sales of flour, seeds, oil-cakes,
cattle, wool, coal, and timber, the whole of which would pass along
the line, and be productive of a net revenue, which would ensure a
return of 81. per cent. upon the capital stock.
The survey has been completed, and application will be made for
an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. A large reserve of
shares having been made for existing companies, with which the pro-
posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal
of the Directors.
The prospectus, with the names of the other members of the Pro-
visional Committee of Directors, will be issued in the ensuing week,
in the interim, applications, in the usual form, with unexceptienable
references, may be addressed to the Provisional Committee of Direc-
tors of the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire Railway, at their
temporary offices, 30, Bucklersbury, London.

EAS CERN UNION RAILWAY EXTENI
SION TO NORWICH AND BURY ST. EDMUND'S.
NONCE is hereby given that the Act authorising the extension
front the Eastern Union Railway at Ipswich to Bury
St. Edmund's, has received the sanction of Parliament,
mid a Company is incorporated for the construction of it,
under the title of the IPSWICH AND BURY- SAINT ED-
MUND'S RAILWAY. The part so sanctioned (twenty-six miles
in length) comprehends fifteen miles of the line to Norwich, and the
execution of the works has already been undertaken by highly re-
spectable contractors, within the estimate of the Engineer, and com-
menced. The Directors will vigorously push forward the line, so as
to open it for traffic in twelve months from this time; and Parliament
will,bc applied to in the next session for powers to authorise the con-
struction of the other portion (thirty miles, or thereabouts, in
length), which lies between Stowmarket and Norwich, thereby com-
pleting a communication between the important towns of Norwich,
Ipswich, and Bury, and carrying out the views of the subscribers in
forming the shortest direct line between Norwich and London, as
effectually as if the whole project had succeeded this year.
To give effect to these arrangements, Proprietors of the Scrip
issued for the Extensions are required to forward them to the Offices
of the Company, Brook-street, Ipswich, addressed to the Secretary,
stating at the same time their Christian and surnames, place of
abode, and designation, for the purpose of registry, on the following
terms, which have been agreed upon by the Provisional Committee
with the Board of Directors, and which they deem both equitable
and advantageous to the Proprietors, viz :
They will, on transmitting their Scrip, be registered in the Ips-
wich and Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company, to the extent of
two-fifths of the amount of such Scrip, and receive Shares under the
Corporate Seal for the same; and as to the three-fifths, they will
remain Proprietors of that portion of the capital in a reissue of
Scrip, on which they will be credited a ith the deposits already made
in respect of it last year, and be subjected to no other call or deposit
until a further Act of Parliament is obtained.
No other persons are entitled to be Shareholders in the New Com-
pany than those who are Proprietors of Eastern Union Extension
Scrip Shares.
' The Solicitors are preparing the necessary deeds to enable the Di-
rectors to carry forward the project in the next session.
The receipt of the Scrip Certificates will be duly acknowledged, and
on the completion of the Registry, and on the signing of such Parlia-
mentary documents as are necessary, the registered Shares, and the
new Extension Scrip, will be issued to the persons who may transmit
those now called in, and claim the conversion announced.
It is intended that the Extension to Norwich rhall be prosecuted
as a continuation of the Ipswich and Bury Saint Edmund's Railway,
so that the whole shall constitute one uadertaking.
The holder of Extension Scrip will forfeit all right and claim to the
New Shares in respect of which no such application for registry shall
have been received on or before the 10th day of September next, and
the person to whom the original Scrip was allotted will be recog-
nised as the Proprietor thereof.
Under the powers contained in the Ipswich and Miry Saint Ed-
mund's Act, interest at the rate of 4 per gent. will be paid to the
shareholders on the deposit ant all calls made while the works are in
operation—such interest commences from the passing of the Bill on
the 21st ultimo.
The First Ordinary Meeting under the Act, will take place at the
offices of the Company, in Ipswich, on Friday, the 12th day of Sep-
tember next, when none but registered Shareholders will be entitled
to vote.

Since the formation of the Company for making this railway, and
the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms-
ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe-
rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by
the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons
for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional
Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of
their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and
Brandon line at Thetford; thereby to complete the shortest and best
communication between London and Norwich, in tile direction of the
old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk,
and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the
great trunk lines of the north and west.
For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only
12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional
Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of
10,000 additional shares; and, for full particulars of the entire plan,
refer to their original prospectus.
The Chelmsford and Bury line not having been projected in time to
bring it before Parliament in the present session in a substantive form,
it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other
lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the
Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong
impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa-
rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other.
The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad-
vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th,
1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called theCheims-
ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament,
the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted
to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a
more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the
London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it
may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) " there is a strong local
feeling in its fav: or, evinced by the memorials which have been re-
ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree,
Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury."
The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only
rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the
Chairman (Lord Sandell) previous to giving a decision against the
Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that "the Committee was
decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme."
To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and
Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of
aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the
Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and
good offices of that importantConmany in the formation of their line.
In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne-
cessarily rejected numerous applicatioas, of which it may be pre-
sumed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re-
spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and
in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference
will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share-
holders.
Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to
the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Lon-
don ; to the Solicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol-
lowing brokers :—Messrs. Sheppard and Son, Threadneedle-street,
London; Mr. Thomas Forsyth and Messrs. Pownall and Worthing-
ton, Liverpool; Mr. Henry Benton and Messrs. Thomas Cardwell
and Sons, Manchester; Messrs. Rhodes and Messrs. Redsdale and
Co., Leeds; Messrs. Grayston and Earle, York; Messrs. Henry
Beaumont and Co. Exeter ; Mr. Wm. Mason, Bradford, Yorkshire ;
Mr. F. Stamp, Hull ; Mr. Thomas Boardman, Blackburn ; Mr. W.
H. Collis, Birmingham ; Messrs. Duncan surd Hutchinson, Glasgow ;
and Messrs. John Robertson and Co., Edinburgh ; of whom prospec-
tuses and further information call be obtained.
FORM OF APPLICATION.
TO THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHELMSFORD
AND BURY RAILWAY COMPANY.
Gentlemen,—Please allot me Shares in the above Com-
pany, and I hereby undertake to accept such Shares, or any
less number that may be alloted to me, and to pay the deposits
thereon, and also to execute the Parliamentary contract and Sub-
scribers' agreement, when required.
Dated this day of 1845.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,

_
London
Messrs. Clay and Swift, Liverpool.
The object of this undertaking is to establish the most direct and
efficient railway communication that can be formed between Bir-
mingham and Oxford, connecting by the shortest possible route the •
whole of the Lancashire manufacturing districts and sea-ports with
the south of England and its long line of coast in the British Chan-
nel. The existing lines afford but a very imperfect and circuitous
rommunicatlon through London, and it is singular that the com-
peting lines of railway now before the public do not supply the de-
iiciency or provide for the objects now contemplated. Under these
circumstances, there can be no doubt that this railway will confer
essential benefits on the districts through which it is intended to pass,
as well as on the commercial and industrious classes of the north,
and a very cursory inspection of the map will satisfy the inquirer
that the line is so peculiarly situate as to command an unusually
large amount of through traffic, independent of its local resources,
which are very great.
It cannot fail to be observed, that the Birmingham and Oxford
Junction will save a considerable distance on the route towards the
coast, besides furnishing to Warwick and Leamington the most
direct railway communication for the traffic between those places
and Oxford, Reading, &c., while the cheapness of construction and
excellence of the gradients will enable the Company to convey pas-
sengers and goods at very low rates, such as would not remunerate
an expensive line, but which are calculated to afford an ample return
for the small capital required for this undertaking.
The railway will commence by a connexion with the Grand Junc-
tion Railway at Birmingham, and, proceeding in nearly a straight
line by Warwick and Leamington, fall into the intended Oxford and
Rugby Line, near Fenny Compton ; the entire distance from Bir-
mingham to Oxford will thus be about 62 miles.
The Stratford-on-Avon line which will be constructed simulta-
neously with the line by Warwick and Leamington, will join the
main railway at or near to Kingswood. From Stratford-on-Awn to
I%loreton-in-the-Marsh, by an improvement of the existing railway,
a distance of 14 miles, the communication through Stratford will be
complete to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, and the
Oxford, reading, and the South of England.
It is confidently believed that this extension of the Oxford line to
the Grand Junction Railway at Birmingham, taking Leamington and
Warwick in its course, will furnish such strong corroborative proof
of the public importance and necessity of the Oxford and Rugby
line (now promoted by the Great Western Company,) as to insure its
success in Parliament. If the broad gauge should be adopted, ar-
rangements have been made with the Great Western Company to
run dispatch trains between London and Birmingham in less than
three hours, and also to provide, at low vacs, means of conveyance
for every description of traffic, whether of passengers, carriages,
horses, cattle, or merchandise and minerals,
The Provisional Committee, however, promote this measure as one
of great national importance, and do not intend it to be contingent
in any degree on will be or failure of the Oxford and Rugby
will be guided in the final selection of the line,
Railway, but they
in the principle of construction, and in the mode of working it, by the
evidence which may be adduced during the present session, and by
the result of the applications now before Parliament, as far as they
may appear consistent with the experience still to be obtained on the
relative merits of the systems.
They need
only add in conclusion, that if the Oxford and Rugby
line is successful, the capital of 600,0001. will be ample, as the coun-
try has been carefully examined. No engineering difficulties exist,
and there will he no tunanfrel

CHELMSFORD end BURY RAILWAY
COMPANY.
A recent, but not very Intelligible, complaint and lamentation of
the Essex and Suffolk Company may claim a short passing notice.
Neither the internal arrangements of a Railway Board with its
officers, nor the private conferences of its sub-committees, nor its
communications with other boards, are proper subjects for news-
paper controversy. The Chelmsford and Bury Railway Company
have deemed it, on the whole, more satisfactory to appoint an engi-
neer-In-chief not professionally connected with other local lines more
or less opposed to their own : and, in the exercise of a sound discre-
tion, have appointed a gentleman whose character as an engineer is
of the highest class—whose works in Scotland and the north of Eng-
land testify to his practical abilities—whose success before Parlia-
ment, in carrying his Railway Bills in the present session, has been
almost singular—and who has so local engagements to embarrass in
the slightest degree his entire devotion to the interests of their line.
The personal relations of their late engineer with their late Chair-
man led, more or less directly, to the resignation of the latter, and
with him, retired also, upon avowedly mere personal considerations,
some of hit iietsonal frierkig. • -- - - -
its
merits may change, but the line remains in all its integrity,
merits the fame, its position unshaken, and its resources unimpaired.
