The Provisional Directors of the Essex and Suffolk Railway have
the pleasure of communicating to the Slthreholders that the Parlia-
mentary Committee have rejected the Preambles of all the Bills
which could be considered as coming into competition with the Essex
and Suffolk project, and have given an opinion strongly favourable
to the views of this Company.
The Provisional Directors wishing to avoid the annoyances, delays,
and expenses of a vexatious Parliamentary contest, and hoping that
the common interests of the localities through witch this projected
railway would pass, might be conciliated and advanced by a friendly
understanding with the Provisional Committee of the Bury and
Chelmsford Railway, were most desirous of bringing about an amal-
gamation With the promoters of that line, and eagerly availed them-
selves of the opportunity that was afforded them of amicable discus-
sion, for the purpose of uniting the objects of the two Companies on
mut .ally satisfactory terms.
Five Members of the Provisional Direction of the Essex and Suf-
folk Company, namely :—Dr. Bowring, M.P., ,Messrs. Allen, Fitz.
William, Sykes, and Tatham were nominated on behalf of this Com-
pany. Mr. Halifax (Chairman), Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and Mr.
Courtold, were appointed by the Bury and Chelmsford Committee, to
confer with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation on the question of
amalgamation. They met the Deputation from the Essex and
Suffolk, and the principle and general basis of such amalgamation
were agreed on. The respective Deputatiens referred the matter
back to their several Committees, and both Committees concurred in
sanctioning the general understanding. The Chelmsford and Bury
Committee then added Sir John Tyrrel, Bart., and Mr. Greenwood to
the former. Deputation, and the five were appointed to settle the de-
tails necessary to give effect to the general arrangement. Resolu-
tions were passed unanimously, as regarded the Deputation from the
Essex and Suffolk Company, and by a majority of the Deputation
from the Bury and Chelmsford; making, in the united Committee. a
majority of eight to two in favour of the amalgamation, and of the
resolutions dependent thereon.

In the progress of these discussions, and greatly to the surprise of
the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, a resolution was communicated to
them (not signed by the Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford Com-
pany), stating that the Deputation appointed to conduct the ne-
gotiation with the Essex and Suffolk Deputation, were "discharged,"
and 12 resolutions, many of which were wholly incompatible with
the arrangement agreed upon, were sent by " the Provisional Com-
mittee of the Chelmsford and Bury Railway," to the Provisional
Directors of the Essex and Suffolk.
On these resolutions the Essex and Suffolk Directors desire to
make no further observation than this, that as men of honour, the
Chairman of the Bury and Chelmsford (Mr. Hallifax), Sir John
Tyrell, Bart., M.P., and Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and several others,
felt it their duty to withdraw, and they have withdrawn themselves,
from the Miry and Chelmsford direction.
These gentlemen continue in friendly co-operation with the ,Essex
and Suffolk direction, while, in additi-n to the loss of their valuable
services, the Bury axed Chelmsford Committee are deprived of their
distinguished engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, and it is understood
Messrs. White and Borrett have retired from the joint solicitorship of
that line.

To the equitable and honourable spirit in which the negotiations
were conducted by the retiring majorit3 of the Chelmsford and Bury
deputation, the Essex and fiutfolk desire to bear unequivocal testi-
mony, while on the part of their own deputation, they wish to state,
that with every disposition to meet the Bury and Chelmsford Direc-
tors in the most conciliatory spirit, there existed among themselves,
a cordial unanimity of purpose, and they can only express their
regret, that a small minority should have thwarted the friendly and
judieteua intentions of a large majority.
_ . . . .

The objects of the Essex and Suffolk Previsional Directors having
been thus disappointed, by a repudiation of the acts of a majority of
the Bury and Chelmsford deputation, a certain number of Shares re-
main to be disposed of, which it was intended to place in the hands of
the united Committee.

These Shares are now offered to the public, but a preference will
be given to the original subscribers to the Essex and Suffolk line.
Shareholders in the Norwich and Brandon and Eastern Counties are
requested to mention the fact in their application.
There can be no doubt that a railway providing for the Important
districts between Chelinsford and Thetford, will obtain the sanction
of Parliament. in the mining session ; and the Provisional Directors
cannot but anticipate the favourable decision of the Legislature.
. .

Negotiations are in progress with the Norwich and Brandon and
Eastern Counties Railway Companies, and there is every reason to
hope, that arrangements will be entered into, satisfactory to the
Shareholders, and accommodating the populous localities through
which this line is intended to pass. Careful surveys are making of
the whole line, and the confidence of the Provisional Diroctors of the
success of the undertaking is unabated.
. _ .

Applications for Shares may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices
of the Company, 24, Margate-street ; or to the Solicitors and Local
Agents ; and to Messrs. Maas and Harrison, 18, Threadneedle-

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS.

This railway is proposed to commence at Cambridge, to proceed
in a direct line to Northampton, and take its course, via Fenny
Compton, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Alcester to Worcester.
By its junction with the Northern and Eastern Railway at Cam-
bridge, the London and York Railway near St. Neots, the Leices-
ter snd Bedford or South Midland and Birmingham Railways, near
Northampton, the Oxford and Rugby and the proposed Oxford and
Birmingham, or Warwickshire and London Railways, at Fenny
Compton, the Warwick and Cheltenham Railway at Stratford-upon-
Avon, and the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton near Wor-
cester, and the proposed lines into Wales from that city, this rail-
way will connect Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and the impor-
tant towns of Yarmouth, Harwich, Norwich, Ipswich, Bury. St. Ed-
mund's, Lynn, and Cambridge, with the towns and counties of Bed-
ford, Northampton, Rugby, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Banbury,
Oxford, Southampton, Coventry, Leamington, Warwick, Birming-
ham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Kiddermin-
ster, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol, Hereford,
Somerset, South Wales, and the South of Ireland. In short this
railway will complete he chain of communication from the east to
all parts of England. It will also be the most direct route from
London to Warwick, Leamington, Worcester, Hereford, Kiddermin-
ster, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, and Wales. Connecting
a very populous district entirely destitute of railway accommodation,
opening, too, a direct communication between extensive manufactur-
ing, mineral, and agricultural districts, and the best and largest coal
fields in the kingdom, thereby considerably reducing the present high
price of coals, particularly in the eastern counties This line must not
only be of great public and local advantage, but also insure traffic
and passengers, and goods amply remunerative as an investment.
The survey made proves the line to be easy of construction, and
free from engineering difficulties. _ .

The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at 4/. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all
future calls, from the date of the passing of the Act till the opening
of the railway.

Applications for Lyospectuses and shares may be made to the soli-
citors, or to the following Sharebrokers, viz. :—Messrs. P. W. Tho-
mas and Son, 50, Threadneedle-street, London; Forsyth and Prit-
chard, Liverpool; Johnstone and Bradley, or Pearson and Graves,

In renewing the application to Parliament for a North Kent Line,
it has been determined to bring forward the entire of the scheme ori-
ginally contemplated. The undertaking now proposed is for the for-
mation of a direct Line of Railway from London to Dovor, commenc-
ing near the Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, and proceeding by
Blackheath, Woolwich, Gravesend, Rochester, Chatham, Sitting-
bourne, and Canterbury, terminating at Dovor, and by a branch also
at Deal, with other branches to Maidstone, Sheerness, Faversham
Qua) s, and Chilham, and also uniting, by its communications at-Can-
terbury, with the Line &ready authorised to Ramsgate and Margate.
Dovor will thus be brought within the shortest practicable. Railway
distance from the metropolis, and all the above-named Intermediate
Towns and Districts will oUttin those Railway facilities of communi-
cation with the metropolis and with each other which theyare at pre-
sent so mach in want of ; and valuable and most important connexions
stillalso be completed between the great arsenals and depots of the
country.
The imyrtance of this Line to the principal places having, at
present, some- circuitous and incomplete Railway communication,
will be manifest, by the following table of comparative distances from
the metropolis at Hungerford-bridge, viz.:—

The recent Parliamentary investigation into the schemes for this
district has tended to establish that the North Kent traffic is such as
to insure more than the usual rate of profit to the Company who may
be fortunate enough to succeed in obtaining power to undertake the
Line through that, as yet, unoccupied disn let ; and that among the
projects submitted to Parliament, the line of the London, Chatham,
Red North Kent Company was the best, as it was the first in the
field. It was also manifest that the reasons assigned by the Railway
Board preferring the scheme of the South Eastern Company not only
were without weight with the Parliamentary Committee, but were
in all important respects entirely unsustained in proof.
The Provisional Committee of Management have obtained a vale-
able advantage in their present scheme by securing the co-operation
of Mr. Locke, acting in consultation with Mr. Vignol, s, their en-
gineer, in fixing the capital of the Company, and settling the line and
the engineering features. The project, of which the outline is now
put forth, will, of course, be subject to such modifications as may
hereafter be deemed desirable.
For the purpose of carrying out this complete and comprehensive
scheme, it is proposed to raise a capital of 3,300,000/., to be divided
into 66,000 shares of 50/. each, and that these shares shaltbe allotted
on a present deposit of 2/. 10s. per share. It is proposed that the
owners of Scrip Certificates in the original scheme are to have the
option of receiving an equal number of shares in the new project,
upon surrendering their present Scrip, and upon payment of 10s. 6d.
per share, which, with the amount remaining to be returned on the
original Scrip, will make up the required deposit of 2/. 10s. per share;
and they' are thereupon to be entitled to a preference in the allot-
ment
of the remaining shares to the extent of three new shares for
every two original slia:es so exchanged. In default of payment of '
the deposits at the time to be appointed, or of the subsequent in-
stalments to be called for after the Act shall have been obtained, the
shares will be forfeited.
All persons desirous of availing themselves of this option and pre-
ference. arc required to give notice thereof by letter addressed to the
Provisional Committee, on or before the Bth of August next, and
stating their proper names, residences, and descriptions, according to
the subjoined forms, Nos. 1 and 2, and are to deliver in their existing
Scrip Certificates for examination when required, or in default they
will forfeit the privilege of such option and preference.
Any Scripholder in the original scheme desirous of retiring, will be
entitled, on surrendering his Scrip, to have the deposit thereon re-
turned to him, less Iss. 6d. per Share as the proportion of the ex-
penses incurred since the 29th of January last.
Applications for Shares by other parties must be addreised to the
Committee of Management according to the subjoined Form No. 3.
Prospectuses and Forms of Letterd of Application may be had at
the Company's Office, at 112, Bishopsgate-street, where all commu-
cations are to he addressed.

(DECAN AND LEBEUF'S COMPANY.)
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS. .

By the recently promulgated law it appears that the Northern Line
of France, with its two Branches, are to be treated and adjudicated
as three separate lines of railway, it therefore becomes necessary that
the applications for the Allotments of, and the receipts for, Deposits
on Shares should be separate and distinct ; and under the powers
reserved by the Committee, and assented to by the Subscribers or
Shareholders, the latter are hereby required, under pain-of forfeiture,
between :MONDAY next the 4th, and THURSDAY, the 7th August, to
attend personally, or by their agents, and re-sign applications and
exchange deposit receipts accordingly, at one of the undermentioned
Bankers of this Company, viz. :
Messrg. Curries and Co., 29, Cornhill, London

It having been represented to the Provisional Committee that there
has not been sufficient time to make known to the Subscribers the
important announcement communicated to the Board by its Presi-
dent, on Wednesday last, and published in the Daily Journals of July
31 and let instant, it has resolved to extend the period for payment
of deposits into their Bankers till TUESDAY NEXT, the sth instant in-
clusive, to which effect instructions have been sent to the Bankers
of the Company, Messrs. 3fastennan, Peters, and Co.; the Union
Bank of London; the Exchange Bank of Manchester; and their

THE COVENTRY AND L ECESTE It JUNC-
TION RAILWAY.
The Provisional Directors have great satisfaction: in , announcing
to the Shareholders that they have concluded an arrangement with
the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, for incorporating
that company with the Coventry and Leicester Company,.by which
the united company will obtain all the valuable local and general
support and influence secured by each separately, with the increased
advantages of a more extensive project.
The united company will be called "The Coventry, Nuneaton,
Birmingham, and Leicester Railway Company."
The line will commence at Coventry, and proceed by Bedworth
and Chilvers Coton to Nuneaton, thence to Hinckley and Leicester,
with a branch from Nuneaton to Birmingham. Care will be taken
to provide the most complete accommodation for all the intermediate
places.
The superior advantages of the projected line are already exten-
sively known, as was shown by the great demand for the original
shares of this Company, and has been further proved by the circum-
stance that a rival scheme, with nearly the same project, has been
since started. _ _ . .

This Company, however, is in possession of such exclusive advan-
tages, by the local support of influential landowners and other parties,
added to priority of project and a favourable report of the Board of
Trade for a very important portion of the line (being the only part
which has yet been submitted to that department), that it is obvious
that this Company will go to Parliament with every prospect of
SUCCess.
In order to comprise the two schemes in one Act, and to invest
the Provisional Directors with the requisite powers, they have de-
termined, under the advice of counsel, to have a new Parliamentary
contract and Ssubscriher's agreement executed, and to Issue new
scrip of the " Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Com-
pa,y," In exchange fur the scrip of the Coventry and Leicester
Junction Railway Company, the Coleshlll Extension, and the
Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company. By the terms of the
arrangement with the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company,
the Shareholders in that Company will receive one share in the
Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Company, in ex-
change for each share held by them in the Coventry, Bedworth, and
Nuneaton Company, on payment of a deposit of H. ss. per share,
and signing the Parliamentary contract and Suescribers' agreement.
By order, HENRY C ASSIN, Secretary.

„...___
Parties failing to send in their Scrip within the time specified will
be undersood to dissent, and will lose the benefit of this arrangement ;
but may, ou application to the Secretary, any day after the said sth
day of August, between the hours of Eleven and Four, at this office,
receive back the full amount of the deposit of 11 ss. per share, already
paid. By order,
CASSIN, Secretary.

COVENTRY, BEDWOWTH, and
NUNEATON RAILWAY.
The Provisional Directors beg to inform the Shareholders that they
have considered it to be the most advantageous course for their inte-
rests, under the altered state of circumstances in which this Company
is placed by the decision of the Committee of the House of Commons,
to make arrangements with the Coventry and Leicester Company, for
uniting the project of this. Company withstlie more extensive project
of the Coventry and Leicester Company, by which coalition they
feel assured that the shareholders of this Company will obtain much
greater advantages than could have been realised by the passing of
the Bill in the present session, and such as will amply compensate
them for the additional deposit which it will be necessary for them
to pay. By the terms of the arrangement the Shareholders in this
Company are entitled to receive one share in the united Company,
to be called " The Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester
Railway Company," in exchange for each share held by them in the
Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, on payment of a
deposit of It. ss. per share, and signing the Parliamentary contract
and subscribers' agreement. The Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton
Shareholders are further informed that, preparatory to the issue
of new certificates, their scrip must be left with the Secretary of the
Coventry and Leicester Company for examinatien,st No. 3, Church-
court, Old Jewry, between the hours of Eleven and Four, daily, from
Monday next, the 28th instant, till Tuesday, the sth day of August
next, both inclusive, accompanied by a statement, printed forms of
which may be obtained at the above office. Parties failing to send in
their scrip within the time specified Will be understoood to decline the
benefit of this arrangement.
