The Provisional Committee announce to the Applicants for Shares
in this Company, 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 this 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 Ist 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 taken in the Deed for that purpose, and that the liability of Sub-
scribers shall be limited to the amount of their several subscriptions."

expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 20/., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required by 21. 2s. on each

*umber 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.
