THE Committee of SharehOlders direct the attention
of the Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it ap-,
pears, the Directors of this Company have convened a PIT BLIC
MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS for SATURDAY, the 30th
instant. The Committee have confidence in the integrity and
character-of the Directors, but fear they do not sufficiently es-
timate the financial and other difficulties which will impede the
construction of so large a work, and the great relief which
would arise to the -Shareholders n amalgamation with an
established dividend-paying ' pony.
There is little doubt that omplete consolidation of interests
with the Eastern Conn Company might be effected, the lia-
bility on the Shares iereby decreased, and their value im-
proved • and tha f the Directors were convinced it was the
wish of the larger portion of the Shareholders, they would feel
it their duty to effect such an arrangement.
The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this
object, and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend
at the Meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the
project, to do so accompanied with some suitable expression of
their opinion on the advantage of amalgamation.
It is necessary for every l'roprietor who wishes to vote at the
Meeting, to attend pt sonally with his Scrip, or to entrust it to
a friend. Those Proprietors who may desire to be represented
by the Committee, are requested to send their Scrip addressed
to Mr. H. PutLiers, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before
Til ITRapAY next, when a proper receipt will be given, and the
the Scrip returned immediately after the Meeting.
By order of the Committee,
