-11 PANY, with Branches to Thorpe-le-Soken and Alreeford.
Capital, 330,000/., in Shares of 201. each.
Deposit 21. 2s. per Share.
At a meeting of the Provisional Committee of this undertaking,
held at Hadley's Hotel, on Wednesday, the sth instant, it was una-
nimously resolved to apply fa powers to construct a branch line
about four miles in length, from Elmstei to Alresford, thus connect-
ing the town of Colchester with the deep water of the river Coble,
at the nearest point, and where vessels of 500 tons can discharge
their cargoes with safety, by means of which Colchester gill be com-
pletely established as a seaport town.
The engineers reported that the cost of this branch, with all suit-
able works, would not exceed 50,0001., and it was resolved to increase
the capital by that amount accordingly, and Instructions were given
for the necessary survey being forthwith proceeded in.
As the allotment of .hares will not take place until the standing
orders are complied with previously to the 30th instant, applications
for prospectuses, plans, and shares, will continue to be received by
the solicitors and brokers already advertised.

direct route from the ports of, Liverpool, Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and
Lancaster, to Newcastle-upon-Tyne.. Commencing at Lancaster, it
wilt proceed up the valley of the Lone, by Kirkby Lonsdale, sedbergit,
and Kirkby Stephen, and thence by thd most practicable lice to New-
castle. It will run nearly parallel with the old-Coach road, which
has hitherto been the principal passenger route from Lancaster to
Newcastle. . • .
It will readily be conceded that great benefits will flow from a
direct railway communication between the coal-fields and mining
districts of Durham aid Northumberland, and the important towns
and Ports•Of Liverpool, Fleetwood, Newcastle; and Lancaster.

slate, limestone, marble, and other elersents ef a great local traffic
abound, and cannot fail to make this one ef the most remunerative
projects of the day. A considerable saving of distance between the
important towns en the termini is effected over any existing or pro-
jected scheme.
It will be reserved tithe Committee ef Management to make such
alterations in the line, or the amount of capital required, or other-
wise, as may be deemed most advantageous to the interests . ithe
