RAILWAY.
The Directors have to announce that the allotment is completed,
and that the letters of allotment will be posted this evening.
In consequence of the . immense number of applications, the
Directors have been unavoidably compelled to overlook the claims
of very many parties of known responsibility, rind those gentlemen
who do not receive an allotment will, therefore, accept this explana-
tion as the reason why their applications are not compiled with.
By order,
