rou VieWS 'of the local Governmont, prior to the final arrange-

linkc't?rltninary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,to
• any unforseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta b
awl W
provinces, by Mirzapore, was tha most needed y
" '';'Pltn
most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
the
,„, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the

The allotment in this line of railway has been completed, and the
letters of allotment forwarded, but owing to the immense number of
applications, the Provisional Directors regret having been compelled
in all cases materially to curtail the number, and in very nume-
rous instances to leave out the names of highly respectable parties
altogether;
The PrWsional Directors have much pleasure in stating that the
surveys are fully completed, and every other necessary arrangement
made for going before Parliament, and that from peculiarly favour-
able circumstances, they confidently anticipate that their Bill will
BE ONE OF THE EARLIEST BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE ENSUING
SESSION. • By (order,
