Messrs. Prescott, Grote, Cave, Ames, and Cave.

THE Committee of Management have much plea-
sure in communicating to the Subscribers to this under-
taking, that they have obtained from the Legislature of British
Guiana an Act of Incorporation, containing ample and liberal
powers for carrying out this important project to the full ex-
tent contemplated in the prospectus.
The Committee have also to announce that Mr. Catherwood,
the Engineer of the Company, after having carefully completed
the necessary surveys in British Guiana, has returned to this
country, and has made and deposited with them a most satis-
factory Report, accompanied by plans and sections, which have
been sanctioned and confirmed by Mr. Locke, their Consulting
Engineer.
The Committee are highly gratified in being able to add, that
after an attentive examination of Mr. Catherwood's Report,
his estimates and calculations, they have full confidence that
the Railway will be constructed at a cost more than 30 per cent.
below the amount originally contemplated, whilst there are
good grounds for believing that the traffic upon the line will
far exceed previous anticipations, and of course increase ma-
terially the exspective returns upon the capital invested.
A statement from the Committee of Management, of their
proceedings, with the Engineer's Report, Plans, and Estimates,
will be presented to the Shareholders at the first General
Meeting,. to be held after the completion of the registry of the
Shares, in pursuance of the provisions of the Deed of Settle-
ment, and Act of Incorporation.
NOTICE IS THEREFORE HEREBY GIVEN, that all
persons holding Scrip Certificates for Shares in this Company
are required to transmit them on or before the 30th day of
November next, to the Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq., at the West
India Committee Rooms, 12, Old Jewry Chambers, London,
with their Names, Prefessions, and Residences, distinctly
written, in order that the same may be correctly entered in the
Register of the Company.
All Shares not claimed by the holders of Scrip Certificates
on or before the said 30th day of November next, will be regis-
tered as the property of the parties to whom they were -ori-
ginally allotted, and who subscribed the Deed of Settlement.
Forms of letter, claiming to be registered, may be had at the
Office of the Company.
For greater security, the parties sending the Scrip are re-
commended to write across the face of each certificate, " For-
v arded for Registration."
The Secretary will acknowledge the receipt of the Scrip, and
on the completion of the registry, of which due notice will be
given, will exchange the same for Certificates of Shares, under
the seal of the Company.

PH I ESTLEY'S
CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR FLUID EXTRACT OF
THE FINEST

JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
rpHIS most efficient and agreeable preparation of
that well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SAR-
SAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method,
by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are pre-
served ; and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir-
tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial
effects have been particularly striking in the following com-
plaints :—Nocturnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlarge-
ment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheuma-
tism, &c., &c, • in freeing the system after a course of Mer-
cury, its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the
blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and
regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous In-
flammation, from which so many persons periodically suffer;
and when taken in the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Altera-
tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the
constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appe-
tite, and freshness of the complexion.
Prepared and sold only by John Priestley, 52, Lord-street,
Liverpool, in bottles at 11s., 225., and 335. per bottle.
N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes
are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shilling bottles for
£2, and cases equal to Five for £5, upon receipt of a Post-
office order.

The Preparation will keep in any climate.
PRIESTLY'S STOMACHIC OR DIGESTIVE PILLS,
FOR BOTH SEXES.

For a number of years have these Pills received the appro-
bation of the public in general ; and from the very frequent
and favourable results of this Medicine in the above com-
plaints, the proprietor feels the strongest confidence in recom-
mending them as a safe, mild, and most efficient Family
Medicine.
To Ladies they are strongly recommended as an effective
Medicine in cases of general Debility of the Constitution, by
strengthening the organs of the stomach, creating an appetite,
and correcting impaired digestion. They give relief to those
troubled with fainting tits, nervous giddiness, violent pains in
the head &c. ; and for females, before and after confinement,
they are invaluable, and may be taken as a substitute for that
valuable (but nauseous) medicine castor oil; nor can they be
too highly recommended for the general use of Schools.
These Pills contain no Mercurial or Antimonial Preparation,
require no confinement nor alteration of diet, and are adapted
to every variety of age and constitution. In Boxes, price
Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each. Also,
PRIESTLEY'S AROMATIC TONIC TINCTURE.

A pleasant and agreeable remedy for Indigestion, loss of Ap-
petite, Wind, Flatulency, and all complaints arising from in-
ward debility, weakness &c.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS, •
which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to the
Chalyheate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ Powl)Eßs is peculiar to himself, and
combine scientific skill with great accuracy; and though num-
bers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have
of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been
found to be spurious compounds, neither possessing the agree-
able flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases.
