rinu Committee of Management have much plea-
_lL sure in communicating to the Subscribefs to this under-
taking, that they have obtained from the Legislature of British
Guiana an Act of Incorporation, containing ample and liberal
powers for' arrying 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.
he 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 tl'e 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-
