and complete as possible for Travelling. Purchasers have
likewise the option of taking or rejecting any part of the Fittings

ripHIS Railway is intended to commence at or near the ter-
IL minus of the Manchester and Bolton Railway, at Bolton,
and proceed thence along the Valley past Red Muss and Chor-
ley, and forward to Preston in such direction as may appear
must adapted for securing the general interests of the proprie-
tary, and accommodating in the best manner the traffic of the
district. The Line of Road crosses the various strata of Coal,
Cannel, Stone, amid Flags, with which this part of the country
abounds. A Line of Railway from Blackburn is contemplated,
to juin the Bolton and Preston Line north of Chorley, and
though the Line to Blackburn will not at present form part of
this undertaking, it will, when completed, add considerably to
its business. The Provisional Committee, in deciding upon the
terminus, will keep in view the facility and propriety of con-
necting this Railway with the North 'Union, the Preston and
Lancaster, and the Preston and Wyre Railways, and the Lan-
caster Canal, and will proceed to Parliament fur powers to
construct an independent Line to Preston, or to branch into the
North Union Railway, or both, as may hereafter appear most
conducive to the interests of the Company, and the general ac-
commodation of the public.
The Provisional Committee have communicated with Mr.
Rastrick, the Engineer, whosurveyed this Line in 1831, and, with ,
a view to the possession of the Plans, Survey, and Estimates made '
on that occasion, they have invited the Subscribers thereto to
incorporate themselves with this undertaking upon the follow-
ing terms:—
That the hold'ar of a Share for £lOO in the old Compapy shall
be privilefed to claim a £5O Share in the new Compan• in lieu
thereof. I'hat this privilege be confined to such of the old
Subscribers as have paid up their Calls of £3 per Share. and
such payment shall remain to their credit with the present
Company.
The Shares claimed in pursuance of this Resolution are 1699,
and the total number intended to be issued, founded upon Mr.
Rastrick's calculation for a Line complete from Bolton to Pres-
ton, will be 6,000 of £5O each, leaving 4,301 to be awarded to
new Subscribers.

The Provisional Committee will not receive any applications
for Shares after the Gth day of June next, such applications to
he addressed (post-paid) to Mr. WoonnousE, Solicitor, Bolton,
endorsed "Bolton and Preston Railway."

ROYAL BANK OF IRELAND.
d-AN WEDNESDAY, the 11th May, 1836, a very numerous and
/
kfi respectable MEETING of the PROPRIE"ORS was
held at the Bank, Foster-place, at One o'clock,
THOMAS R. NEEDHAM, Esq., was called t e Chair.
James Dawson, Esq., read the Report o the Provisional
Committee as follows:

REPORT.
From the Provisional Uommittve of the rtuyus saansc Of 2raianu.
. .

to the Subscribers.

GENTLEMEN,—The Provisional Committee, previous to re-
signing the trust reposed in them, consider it their duty to
submit a statement of their proceedings.
The formation of the Royal Bank of Ireland had been for
some time under. consideration prior to the formal Prospectus
published in the Dublin Newspapers. This appeared on the
14th April last, and was followed by such numerous applications
for the Stock (far exceeding the number mentioned as neces-
sary to constitute the Company) that the Committee deemed it
necessary for the permanent interest of the Company to restrict
the further issue of Shares, except at a premium justified by the
average demand, such premium to form a reserve fund for the
benefit of the Proprietors, as is the usual course of proceeding
in the sister country under similar circumstances.
An Advertisement to the foregoing effect was published on
the 18th of April, since which date no Shares were allocated by
the Committee under the sum specified except in cases of pre-
vious applications, which on examination and inquiry were as-
certained to have been sought for prior to the 16th.
On the allotment of Shares founded on the applications made,
the Committee, in pursuance of the Prospectus, called for the
first Instalment and Outfit of £5. ss. on each £5O Share, which
was promptly paid into the Bank of Sir Robert Shaw, Bart.,
and Co. to the credit of the Provisional Committee as Trustees
for the Royal Bank of Ireland. The sum so paid in for Instal-
ments, Outfit, and Premium amounts to .C 101,300, and has been
for the greater part invested in the security of Government
Stock, &c., convertable into cash at any moment required for
business.

A large proportion of the Shareholders are wealthy English
Capitalists, and about 4.000 Shares, in addition to those paid
on, may be considered, from the Coriespondence in possession
of the Committee, engaged by highly influential parties in Lon-
don and Liverpooland in Scotland, at a premium on an average
of £2 per Share.
Under those circumstances, and as the second Call of £5 per
Share, to he made in forty days from the election of Directors,
will produce a further sum of £92.400, making in the aggregate
a sum £193,700 at least available for the commencement of
business by the Company, the Committee submit the inexpe-
diency of any further issue of Shares except at an equivalent
advantage or premium, to be regulated at the discretion of your
Directors, until the lapse of the first half-year or year of actual
business. They do so with the more confidence, as the London
and Westminster Bank, which has had such a prosperous re-
sult, retained part of the Capital Stock as reserved Shares until
the result of their transactions had demonstrated the fair value
thereof. At their General Meeting recently held, the subject
having been submitted to the Proprieto,s, the issue was autho-
rised at a premium of £4. 10s. per Share, such premium to go
to the credit of the Company.
Following the example of the above Company, and adhering
to similar principles of action, the Royal Bank of Ireland will
be constituted, according to the intention of the Prospectus, as
a Bank of Deposit, Discount, Loan, and Agency in Dublin,
and within a circuit of fifty miles thereof.
The principle acted upon in Scotland of allowing Interest on
Deposits, and on the balance of running Accounts, has been
recognised by the promoters of the Royal Bank, as also that
feature so essential to the welfare of Ireland, more particularly
in commercial undertakings—a total freedom from political bias
and party considerations, founding their claims to public con-
fidence upon the extent of Capital, a wealthy Proprietary, and
a liberal system of transacting Public Business.
Since the formation of your Company other projects for
Banking purposes have been announced, proposing to do busi-
ness in the City of Dubliu. If such projects be carried into
execution, they should not discourage the Royal Bank of Ire-
land, but, on the contrary, prove an additional incentive for
active exertion. Honourable rivalry in commerce is quite legi-
timate; but illiberal opposition from interested motives should
in every branch of cumuaeree be discountenanced. Your Com-
pany possesses superior advantages, from its having been the
first placed before the public, from the arrangements made and
stated in the Prospectus, calculated to ensure an early com-
mencement of business, with capacious and eligible Banking
Premises secured fir the Compunv on the responsibility of its
largest Proprietor, Mr. Herbert Hardie, of Manchester, toge-
ther with all the facilities of an establishment in business, which
may be continued (in addition to that naturally to be expected)
without the slighest interruption.
It is for the Directors you may select to consolidate these ad-
vantages; your Committee have done but their duty in advert-
ing to them. THOMAS R. NEEDHAM,
Chairman to the Provisional Committee.
May 11. 1836.

Moved by Edward Alexander, Esq., and seconded by Sir
Richard Baker,
Resolved,—That the Report now read be received and agreed
to, and entered on the Minutes.
After some interesting discipsions as to the regulations of the
Company, Sir Robert Shaw, Bart. was voted to the Chair, a
warm vote of thanks was moved to Thomas R. Needham, Esq.,
for his zealous co-operation with the Provisional Committee, and
for his conduct in the Chair.

The Provisional Directors feel it necessary to inform the Sub-
scribers that they have deemed it advisable to alter the termi-
nus of the proposed Railway from Dover to Ramsgate. The
line will pass through Rochester, Canterbury, and other large
towns in the county of Kent, and thus connect the metropolis
with Ramsgate in a manner most advantageous to the public.
The opinion of a Cciminittee of the House of Commons on the
proposed line is fully expressed in their report to the house,
which states, that "it appears to be a line which, as connecting
the port of Ramsgate and other large towns in the county of
Kent with London, and showing public advantages, may, for
such purposes, entitle it to consideration."
On this suggestion, the Directors have, after mature delibes
ration, resolved to make liarnsgate the terminus of their line;'
and they do so under a firm conviction that its growing im-
portance as a harbour, and the ready access which is from
thence afforded to a wide range of the opposite coasts of France
and the Netherlands, amply entitle it to participate, thus pro-
minently, in the improved system of communication now iu
course of adoption throughout the country.
In other respects the proposed enterprise presents no mate-
rial variation from the plan originally submitted to the public.
Running through a cultivated and. densely peopled country,
embracing in its course the government depot at Chatham, and
communicating, by branches, with the towns of Maidstone,
Sheerness, Sandwich, and Deal, its advantages, as well in a
rational as in a commercial point of view, are too obvious to
require comment, while the degree of local estimation in which
it is held may be collected from the number and respectability
of the provincial committees formed expressly to support it.
As an investment for capital, the Directors conceive that this
undertaking may vie with any similar project; for when it is
borne in mind that the transit of passengers has been proved
before a Committee of the [louse of Commons to be the most
lucrative branch of railway revenue, and that, excluding all
other modes of conveyance, upwards .of 900,000 individuals
passed, during last year, by water, between London, Gravesend,
Margate, and Ramsgate alone, some idea may be formed of the
extent to which returns may fairly be expected to repay the con-
struction of a Railroad through districts already abounding in
every description of traffic, which an increased facility of inter-
course is calculated to augment.
The capital required to carry into effect this great national
work is estimated at .C.,2.000,000 sterling, the greater part of
which has been provided by the arrangement under which the
property and interest of the late London and Gravesend and
London and Dover Companies have been transferred to the
present enterprise. It remains for the Directors, therefore,
only to add, that Mr. James Walker having undertaken to com-
plete all the surveys, the Subscribers may confide in the selec-
tion of the most eligible Line, and in the estaulishment of a
case for the ensuing session of Parliament, presenting, in every
respect, the strongest claims to legislative protection and sup-
port.
N.B.—Copies of this Prospectus, with lists of the Provincial
Committees attached, may he obtained on application at the
Company's Offices' 76, Cornhill.
The Shares will be appropriated on Weduesdey, the 15th of
June.
