,The Provisional Directors have great satisfaction in announcing
to the Shareholders that they have concluded an arrangement with
the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company, for incorporating
that company with the Coventry and 'Leicester Company, by which
the united company will obtain all the valuable local and general
support and influence secured by each separately, with the increased
advantages or a more extensive project.

EWRY, ARMAGH, and LONDONDERRY
JUNCTION RAILWAY, from ARMAGH to OMAGH.
Capital 400,0001., in 16,000 Shares of 251. each.
Deposit I'. 7s. Gd. per Share.
The Right Hon. the EARL of CHARLEMONT, Lord-Lieutenant and
Custos Rotulorum of the County of Tyrone, Chairman.
Notice is hereby gl-en, that NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS for
SHARE in this Company will be received after TUESDAY, the sth of
August inst., immediately after which the Allotment will be pro-
ceeded with. By order,
F. W. M'BLAIN, Secretary.
London Offices, 5, Gresham-street, Bank, Aug. 1, 1845.

The united company will be called "The Coventry, Nuneaton,
Birmingham; and Leicester Railway Company."
The line will commence at Coventry, and. proceed by Bedworth
and Chllvers Coton to Nuneaton, thence to Hinckley and Leicester,
with a branch from Nuneaton to Birmingham. Care will be taken
to provide the most complete accommodation for all the intermediate
places.

The superior advantages of the projected line are already exten-
sively known, as was shown by the great demand for the original
shares of this Company, and has teen thither proved by the circum-
stance that a rival scheme, with nearly the same project, .has been
since started.

This Company, however, is in possession of such exclusive advan-
tages, by the local support of influential landowners and other parties,
added to priority of project and a favourable report of the Board of
Trade for a very important portion of the line (being the only part
which has yet been submitted to that department), that it is obvious
that this Company will go to Parliament with every prospect of
success.

In order to comprise the two schemes. in one Act, and to invest
the Provisional Directors with the requisite powers, they have de-
termined, under the advice of counsel, to have a new Parliamentary
contract and Subscribers' agreement executed, and to issue new
scrip of the " Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Com-
pany," in exchange for the scrip of the Coventry and Leicester
Junction Railway Company, the Coleshill Extension, and the
Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company. By the terms of the
arrangement with the Coventry, Bedworth, and Nuneaton Company,
the Shareholders in that Company will receive ono share in the
Coventry, Nuneaton, .Birmingham, and Leicester Company, in ex-
change Rot-each share held by them in the Coventry, Bedworth, and
Nuneaton Company, on payment of a deposit of 11. ss. per share,
and signing the Parliamentary contract and Subscribers' agreement.
