The Provisional Committee announce to the Applicants for Shares
in this Compa-y, that the Allotment is completed ; and, at the same
time, take this opportunity of informing the Applicants who may not
receive Letters of Allocation, that in consequence of the great re•
quest by parties of respectability for the few Shares to be allotted in
this country, the Provisional Directors have been compelled to re-
fuse many parties to whom they would otherwise have gladly made
allotments, and to beg them to accept th!s announcement as the re-
ply to their applications. The Provisional Directors are desirous of
informing the parties to whom Shares are allotted, that the following
resolution has been unanimously agreed to by the Board :
" That interest after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum shall be paid
upon the Ist day of January, and let day of July in each year, 'upon
all calls paid up, on Shares duly registered for that purpose, to be
paid until the opening of the Railroad at Calcutta, and that powers
be ti ken in the Deed for that purpose, and that the liability of Sub-
scribers shall be limited to the amount of their several subscr.ptions."

At a 'netting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required b: mil. 2s. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the
London applications, and to the 30th instant for country applications.

This line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard
reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall,
thence close to Cheadle, and Teen, and by Uttoxeter, Bagots Woods
and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley
Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro-
posed lines flrom Dudley and Walsall.
A glance at the snap will show that this will be the most direct
line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great
termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion with existing
railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and
manufac•turees, and open several extensive coal fields an•l some thou-
sand acres of wood land for the supply of Manchester, the Potteries,
and other great marts of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro-
posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the
Eastern Counties and Derby to Manchester, and give every accom-
modation to the Potteries.
This line is, in its principal features, much the same asthat already
approved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the
Churnet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and
pass:ng through the centre of the district, does not interfere with Btu
Grand Junction, or any other existing railway. It is material to re-
mark-, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as fora:cep
projected to Tamworth, and is free Irons the formidable opposition of
the landed interest, and the engineering difficulties consequent on the
route by Ihseester and Marchington. It must be observed also that
it is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is
• under the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Chum t
and Blythe Valley districts.

The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near
Uttoxeter to near Lichfield, having been obtained, and there being
no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the
line may be considered as secure.
