TO THE EDITOR.

Six,—Observing that doubts have been expressed whether in
many of the various railway schemes now before the public the de-
posits on the capital have been paid, or, if paid, have been properly
applied, the Committee think it right to state, that the deposits on
the shares allotted in this railway have been duly paid, and that a
sum exceeding three-fourths of the amount has been invested iu
Consols in the names of Trustees for the Company.

In consequence of the great number of applieations for share-
n this Company which are daily received from all parts of the
country, the Provisional Directors feel it necessary to call the atten-
tion • lthe Public to the following Clause in the Prospectus, to the
terms of which they will, in allotting the shares, be o•Inpolled most
strictly to adhere:—
" As, under arrangements entered hits with the Lynn and Bly,
Ely and Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Companies,
a large proportion of the capital has been appropriated to the holders
of shares in those Companies, a very limited number •f shares only
is at the disposal of the Provisional Directors, and no application for
shares therefore can he attended to, except from parties locally in-
terested and of the highest respectability.

The Committee have completed the allocation of shares in the
capital of this Company, and the allotment letters have been duly
issued.
They regret that, in consequence of the numerous applications
from parties locally interested, the requests of many highly respect-
able and influential parties have necessarily been passed by.
The Committee are now engaged in forwarding the required ar-
rangements for a strict compliance with the standing orders, and they
have much satisfaction in 'stating that the Parliamentary surveys of
the whole line are completed.
It is with Hill confidence, therefore, that they anticipate a success-
ful application to Parliament in the ensuing session.

LONDON and YORK RAILWAY'
The Shareholders are hereby informed that the Bill for the
London and York Railway having, in the last session, passed the
House of Commons, and having also passed the Standing Orders
Committee of the House of Lord, will be resumed at that stage im-
mediately on the meeting of Parliament, under the resolutions of both
Houses giving this privilege to Railway Bills in the state of that of the
London and York; and that the notices to that effect, required by
those resolutions to be given in certain newspapers during this month
of October and in November, are now in course of publication.
Having now ascertained the extent of their liabilities consequent
upon the very severe and protracted, though successful, contest of
last session, the Directors have the satisfaction to find that, though
the expenses have been unavoidably great, ample funds remain from
the original deposit of 21. 108. per share to meet any possible cost in
the ensuing session ; and as in the case of the London and York Bill,
it is not requisite .ender the standing orders, to increase the deposit of
51. per cent.i on the capital already paid, and which continues lodged
with the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, it will be
unnecessary to make any further call upon the shareholders.
The Bill for the Wakefield branch, which, for want of time, was
not heard last session, is to be renewed ; and this branch is to be ex-
tended from Wakefield into the town of Leeds. Additional exten-
sions will also be proposed from Stamford direct to Spalding ; from
Hatfield through St. Alban's to Luton and Dunstable ; and to Hert-
ferd—all which are in course of being surveyed preparatory to the
usual deposits and notices required by Parliament.
In conformity with the ?sessional orders under which Bills stand-
ing over from last session maintain their position in the ensuing
session, a new Subscription Contract will be prepared ; and notices
will shortly be given to the holders of the London and York and the
Bawtry Branch Scrip Certificates of Shares, to send the same in for
registry ; and of the time at which the New Deed will be lying for
signature in London and at the principal country teams.
The cost of the Wakefield and other branch lines herein-men-
tioned. is to be provided for by means of forty thousand (40,000)
scrip Extension Shares of the value of 251. each, with a deposit of
V. 10s., being ten (10) per cent. as required by Parliament, to be
allotted to the Proprietors of the original or existing London and
York and Bawtry Scrip Shares of 501. each in the proportion of One
Extension Share of 251. for Three of the Scrip Shares of 501.—and
the Subscription Contract for the branch lines will be ready for sig-
nature at the same time as the New Deed for the London and
York original line.

The object of this railway is to afford local accommodation to
the large population lying between Droitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol-
verhampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct
communication between- Manchester, Salisbury, and POOle, an the
one hand, and between Manchester and Southampton on the other.
The line will comtnence by a junction with the Birmingham and
Gloucester Railway, near Droitwich, and passing by tilesaltworks
at that place, and through or near the towns of Broi usgrove and
Stourbridge, will fall into the intended Grand Central. Station at
Wolverhampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the
kingdom.
The importance of this communication, with reference only to the
wants and convenience of Droitwitch, was strongly dwelt upon in
Committees of Parliament during the last session, when it was proved
that a communication with the port of Southampton., as well as
with the agricultural districts of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, must tend
to a very great extension of trade in salt, as well as in iron and coal
front the Staffordshire district.
Traversing a densely-populated district, and improving the com-
munication from Liverpool, Manchester, and the north, with the
ports and towns of the south and west of England, it is obvious the
line must also command a large passenger traffic.
The length of railway will be about twenty-four miles. Promoted
with the sanction and immediate support of the Manchester and
Southampton Compdny, it is intended, after satisfying' the require-
ments of the district and other important interests, that a proportion
of the remaining shares in the line shall be distributed to suck of the
shareholders in that Company as shall signify their desire for an al-
lotment on or before the 10th November next.

The levels of the country have already been taken. and active
measures instituted for completion of the surveys, and the Directors
,confidently hope to bring the measure before Parliament in the en-
suing session.
Applications for shares may be made, in the annexed form, to the
Company's solicitor, at Manchester, or at the offices of the Company,
19, Great George-street, Westminster.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction

the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.
The advantages in point of speed to be derived from the broad
gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valley of the Avon, together with the Importance of placing
the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to
Southampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of tha
Legislature and the local support of the towns and districts through
which the line will pass.

This line has for its object a direct communication from the
city of Lincoln to the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield,
and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Boston,
Wainfleet Haven, Spilsby, Horneastle, Louth, Market Essen. East
Retford, and Worksop to Manchester and Liverpool, and from Yar-
mouth, Norwich, and Lynn (by the use of the projected Pontefract,
Doncaster, and Worksop line), to those towns and all the north of
England.
The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
j
miles only, whereas the nearest route by any proected line at pre-
sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby paving a distance of
one-third, or twenty miles, as well as that of a needless expense.
The Committee have great pleasure in stating that they will be
quite ready to go to Parliament in the ensuing session.
The Committee are now busily engaged in alloting the shares, a
certain number of which are reserved for landowners on the line,
