brookdale, the Capital being One Million, to be equally divided
and South Staffordshire Junction Company and the Shrewsbury
amalga-
mation with this Company, agreed to subscribe the sum of
£300,000 (being one-fourth of the Capital required) towards the
formation of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour
Valley Railway, {with which the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Company have nothing to do,) it is
provided in the Act, as one of the terms of the amalgamation,
that two Classes of Shares shall be created, to be termed re-
spectively Class A shares and Class B shares. The latter Class
represents half the above-mentioned Capital of £1,000,000,
(viz., £500,000,) required for constructing the line from Shrews-
bury to Wolverhampton; and the Class A shares represent the
other half of that Capital together with the additional sum of
£300,000 to be subscribed on account of that Class exclusiyely
towards the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley
Line. The position of the two classes of the Shareholders will
therefore be as follows :—assuming that (as it is presumed will
be the case) the holders of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton,
and South Staffordshire Junction Scrip claim the shares to
which they are entitled, then Class A will have 52,000 shares of
£l5 7s. 9d. each, and Class B the same number of shares of
£9 12s. 3d. each, which share will he credited with 12s.* as a
deposit. The original number of Shrewsbury, Wolverhamp-
ton, and South Staffordshire shares having been only 26,000,
two of the new shares of do 12s. 3d., making together .4,19 4s.
6d., will be issued in respect of each one of those original shares
of 25, but not unless you forthwith send to me at this office
your original Scrip, with a request (in the annexed form) to be
registered for the above shares in the amalgr
In exchange for your Scrip you will forthv
cates for your new shares in the amalgams'
my duty particularly to point out to you the n
immediate attention to this matter.
And I have the honour to be,
Your very obedient Servant
JAMES WHITNEY,
Wolverhampton, November 3d. 1846.
*Since the above circular was published, the Directors have
ascertained fully the liabilities of the Company, the demands
against them being all obtained—and they ht‘ve great pleasure
in stating that the amount is not so great as they anticipated.
They have also allotted the whole number of Shares remaining
in their hands at 10s. deposit, thus dividing those expenses
over a greater number of shares and adding a proportionate
sum to the balance in their Bankers' hands. They have, there-
fore, the satisfaction of informing you that instead of 128. per
share, they are now in a position to pay over the sum of 14s. as
a deposit—and that from arrangements proposed to The Direc-
tors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, they fully
anticipate the whole amount originally-paid, viz , ss. on the
Class B shares, will be ultimately given credit for in the bookS
of the amalgamated Company ; in any event, whatever sum the
Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company take for expenses from
their deposits on Class A shares, the like amount will be cre-
dited- to holders of Class B shares.

FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair ire
Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and
nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be more injurious
than the supposition that neglect in thisparticularcan continue
with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in
the nursery; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or
bald heads, of after years, are traceable to this early period.
