This line of railway has met with general approbation, and its im-
portance cannot be questioned, traversing, aa it will, a locality totally
excluded from the benefit of railway communication, though, it may
be said, one continuous town, for a distance of ten miles, and a
densely-populated neighbourhood, the property around which is open,
fiat, and of a highly favourable character for the construction cf a
line of railway.

In addition to the advantage of a direct communication between
the two royal residences at London and Windsor, avoiding the de-
lay and inconvenience of three different conveyances, and reducing
the time requisite for the entire journey to thirty minutes, the pro-
posed line will afford to Barnes; Kew, Isleworth, Bagehot, Ascot,
Sunning-hill, and Egham, all abounding with elegant villas and a
wealthy population, an easy access to London, and form the main
trunk for a direct communication to Exeter, Falmouth, and the
whole of the south-west of England. It will also afford a facility
to reach Hungerford-bridge on the south side of the River by the
Richmond Railway, by means of a branch from Hounslow to Rich-
mond.
The Committee have much pleasure in adding that the surveys are
made, the deposits have been duly paid, and the parliamentary con-
tract is signed and completed.
By order,
Office, 3n, Regent street. E. W. 11. BELL, Secretary.

That the capital be two hundred thousand pounds, in eight thou-
sand Shares of twenty-five pounds each.
That Messrs. Specter, Attwood, and Co. be the bankers in London;
Messrs. Rust and Veasey, at Huntingdon ; and the National Pro-
vincial Bank of England, at March, Wisbeach, and Sutton.
The Directors of the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire
Junction Railway, having been urgently requested, have upon mature
deliberation, determined to add to the value and to the public utility
of their much approved line the railway now announced.
This short but important line of railway will proceed front the Isle
of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire Junction Railway, at March,
through or near Wimblington, Doddington, Benwick, Broughton,
King's Ripton, Hartford, Chatter's, Ramsey, Warbeys, and Burst,
to Huntingdon.
The placing of Wisbeach, the natural port of this rich and exten-
sive agricultural district, in immediate connexion with Huntingdon,
the focus of six railways, mast be a great accommodation, Rad of
paramount importance to that port ; added to which, it has long been
desired by the mercantile community of both towns.
It also gives Wisbeach and its vicinity, and the other populous
places which it will traverse, the choice of two routes to the metro-
polis en the completion of that portion of the London and York Rail-
way which joins Huntingdon, giving the railway eommunieation by
St. Ives to Wisbeach, an object which the inhabitants of the town
have publicly testified their desire to accomplish.
'rower will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to amalgamate
this Company with the Isle of Ely, Wisbeacb, and Lincolnshire Junc-
tion Railway under one management.
Holders of shares in the Isle of Ely, Wisbeach, and Lincolnshire
Junction Railway may have shares in the present Company, in the
proportion of one share for every two, by transmitting a letter
stating the fact to the Secretary, or either of the Solicitors, on or
before the 15th of October instant. Application for sbareslnay also
be made in the accompanying form. No application can be received
after the 18th of October, and the shares will be allotted without
delay.
