Such being the conviction of this board with I respect to the views of the legislsture, involving conse quently the rejection by parliament of any bill for the absolute amalgamation of our two com panies, even although guarded by some general protection to the public, you will not be ear prised to find that we cannot consent to imperil the ap plieations to parliament, in another session, fur carrying out oar existing agreements with the two Shrewsbury Com panies (specifically alluded to in your letter to me), fur ; which bills have been already passed by the House of Com mons, end which were only arrested at the end of the session In the Lords, bye standing order of that house, which has sines been modified, and may at soy time be suspeaded to meet a ease of public necessity. We are aware that your , CPiWon professes to deal with that question by suggest tehet your conipm y, as well as the Great Western Cam- . patsy, have entered iiito agreements with the two Shrews- I bury Cornmeal( s ; that p roprietor .suose . companies are to I have the c10t... ;^t ... • ---- sewer agreement ; and that a bill f o r 1 ouen object Is to proceed simultaneously with that fur the general amalgaina•ion of our two companies. Permit me to observe, however, that the elf ct of the preposition ' as you have made it, would simply b e t o ena bl e the Lan- ' don and North Western Company to convert an offer, alleged to be made by them to certain parties acting in their interests, and connected with the two Shrewsbury companlis, of nominally higher terms, but wholly inconsistent with tho actual agreemeets previous entered into by those companies, into an implied honoura ble engagement, which would the reby practically hove the advantage of superseding the Great Western alliance, as it were, by consent-4o that if parlia ment should subsequently decline to sanction the amalga mation of our two companies upon public grounds, or if your shareholders should disagree to it, the proprietors of the Great Western Company would discover. whets it is too late, that our agreement had been supplanted by yours, and that all the traffic to or from places north of \Vol. verhampton had been diverted from their railway over the London and North Western lines, owing to our want of foresight, and having fallen into the mis take of adopting a proposition, to which it may be found impossible to give practical effect, and which would therefore prove suicidal to the interests of our company. These considerations melt deter the director, of this com pany from assenting to the general conditions proposed in your letter to me, even if the money terms upon which you offer the amalgamation had been satisfactory, which, how ever, I sin requested to acquaint you, is by no means the ease. We think it, for obvious reasans, superfluous to dwell at present upon that topic, which is merely adverted to for the purpose of guarding the board from any sup posed acquiescence in the value, which your directors ap pear to assume in the proportions w:w current in the market ; regardless of the fact that this company has not yet received from their northern lines a single navienger or toe of goods. end has scarcely derived any advantage from the South Wales line, only partially opened; although your own company have had for a long time the devel p ment and almost exclusive advantage over their lines of all the traffic from the north of England and Ireland. It is to be remarked also, thst your suggestion of convening forthwith a Wharneliffe meeting, to sanc tion the introduction of an amalgamation bill into the House of Lords, is quite inconsistent with the terms of the standing order itself, which requires the submission of the bill to the meeting, as it may have been amended in the House of Commons ; and this would leave it quite open to your proprietors to refuse the approval of the bill in such amended form, if from any cause they shall consider that the main object of destroying our Shrewsbury alliance had been already attained, or that it would be otherwise prejudicial to their interests to proceed with the bill, upon such submission of it et a Wharneliffe meeting- Having thus represented to you the precise grounds why this board cannot, under existing circumstances, adopt the scheme for an absolute union of interests, at all events unless it be accompanied by positive security again' the evil consequences apprehended by as, and upon terms more equitable to the proprietors of this company, I am requested to assure you that the directors are perfectly wiling end ready to enter into an sinkable arrangement upon some other conditions, which may be mutually and equally pro tective and advantageous to both companies. " I. We sulinsit that this may be accomplished most securely, by undertaking that all opposition shall cease on both aides to the performance of actual agreements into which either company may have entered ; the bona fides of which, is cow of dispute, may be decided by an amicable suit in a court of equity—on condition that equal charges, within the rates prescribed by parliament, for all traffic to or from places to which both companies shall convey pas sengers or geode by the two independent systems, shall be agreed upon, and that no obstruction or impediment shall be given by either company to the public desirous of using the railway of the other company. " 2. That, if the London and North Western Company abeeld desire it, some fixed apportionment between the re spestive companies of the nett proceeds of all such traffic, Mir making a full and liberal allowance for the coat of vmaiglag and conveying it, shall be determined by an asillialisa of three noblemen or gentlemen of high stand by, W be previously selected. "3. That the companies in alliance either with the Lon don and North Western or with the Great Western Com pany he Invited to join in the agreement for equal charges ; with a proviso that, if the attempt to arrange fails, it shall not affect any existing agreements. "4. That a general committee, consisting of equal num bers from the London and North Western and Great Western boards, be forthwith appointed to carry the arrangement into effect, and to determine any matters bear ing upon the general interests or proceedini of the two birdies not specially provided for, and to re fer all differ mews to similar arbitration. "The effect of suciarrange meat, we conceive, will be to give to the public two distinct lines of railway, to afford ample scope to the traffic of all districts, and to allow a full development of the mineral and manufacturing resources of the country without obstruction or hindrance. It will wenn to the proprietors fairly remunerative rates for their capital, restrained by the parliamentary limitations, already at very low maximum charges, and will admit of a just economy in carrying on the business of both line efficiently, without distracting the attention or inter fering with the responsibilities of the respective boards of management in providing for the accommodation of the public, and maintaining the value of the property com mitted to their charge. I will thank you to submit to your board this proposition, as en alternative plan, to which the directors of this company are ready to give a prompt and faithful adherence, after learning that it can be made so eeptable to the London and North Western Company. As the nature of your proposal to us swears ale. ady to have transpired, we purpose, submitting the correspondence to the general meeting of our proprietors on Thursday next, in order to rem°• e all doubts as to our respective views upon this important question.

" Tu recapitulate, the Loudon and South Western Rail way Company will have expended—Between Bming-tuke and Salisbury, 250,0001.; Salisbury and Exeter, 6.50,000/.; total, 800,0001. On this amount there may be anticipated an annual return, according to the foregoing calculation, of 28,115!., beyond annual interest already debited (50,000'.). After paying out of this the costs of actual conveyance of the additional traffic over the main tine, say 7,0001., the remainder, or about 20,000/. will be all additional Kota to the present stock. The conclusion to which this result leads is, then, that to complete the line from Basing• stoke to Siliabury, in the manner and on the terms sug gested, will be, independently of ell collateral advantogee, and after taking into acoount the outside outlay involved in the extension, to increase the net revenue of the South Western Railway Company, and the fund applirahle to dividends in this company; and it is submitted that all the data mourned to arrive at this result are rea sonable, and justified by the experience of this compauy. If it is agreed to-day to close with the promoters of the Central Western Extension Line, the din:eters will be pre pared, at a special general meeting, to be held in the month of September, to lay before the proprietor, the arrange ments under which the noceesery capital to be contributed by this company towards this object may he most judiciously mused.—By order of the Board of Directors, Wy minim UAILDINO, Secretary.-9th Augur., le'."
