PANY, with Branches to Thorpe-le-goken and Alre;sford.

Capital, 330,000/., in Shares of 231. each.
Deposit 2/. 25. per Share.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Radley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una-
nimously resolved to apply for powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Ehusted to Alre,sford, thus connect--
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Colne,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester will be com-
pletely established as a seaport town.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,000/., and it was resolved to increase
the capital by that amount accordingly, and instructions were given
for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in.

As the allotment of shares not take place until the standing
orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.
