G-RESHA Al AVENUE ASSOCIATION,
30, Ilucklersbury-, March 10, 1845.
At a SPECIAL MEETING of the PROVISIONAL COMMIT-
TEE, held this day, it was resolved
That, being advised that serious objections are likely to be raised
in Parliament against that part of the scheme of the Association re-
lating to Life Assurance, as involving the principle of a Tontine, the
Committee, therefore, deem it expedient to abandon that part of their
original plan for raising the capital of the Association.
That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each,
not subject to a contingency upon life, and that the profits of the
Association be divided annually.
That those subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan
originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 24th inst., re-
ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the
Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription
to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before
that day.
That applications for the unappropriated shares will be received
until Monday, the 24th March inst., when the same will be forth-
with allotted.
Prospectuses may be obtained and plans may ho seen on applica-
tion at the Offices, No. 30, Bucklersbury ;- and of the solicitors,
Messrs. Bischoff and Cox, 19, Coleman-street.
By order of the Committee,
W. C. CRANE, Secretary.

Matthew Elzielli, Esq., 62, King William-street, London.
The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com-
pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern-
ment to lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the
State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all flu-
ffier outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the
line, have determined upon Increasing the capital to the full amount
necessary for this purpose. In conthnnity with the terms of sub-
scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con-
templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering
to the Shareholders Two New Shares for every Old Share, sub-
ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the
former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found
necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of
this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the
original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst.
Notice Is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre-
scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad-
ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated.

MONDAY, MARCH 10.
PROPERTY-TAX BILL,

Reported ; Motion made, and Question proposed, " That the
Amendments made by the Committee to the Bill be now read a
setond time :"—Amendment proposed, to leave out from the words
" That the" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words
" circumstances under which the-renewal of the Income-tax is at
present proposed, are such as to render it exceedingly improbable
that Parliament will have the power of dispensing with its continu-
ance at the end of three years ; and that it is therefore the duty of
this House to take care that the Tax be imposed in a form in which
its operation shall be less unequal and inquisitorial than it now is,"
instead thereof:—Question put, " That the words proposed to be left
out stand part of the Question." The House divided :
