UASTERN UNION RAILWAY BILL.- Li To all the PREFERENCE SHAREHOLDERS of the EASTERN UNION RAILWAY COMPANY : I beg to inform you that this repudiating bill has passed, not withstanding illy strenuous opposition to its unrighteous prin. elide. The means by which it hail been passed I shall take an opportunity of waking very publicly known, and I trust my so doing may lead to these important and sacred questions of pro perty being dealt with before more competent tribunals than the present parliamentary ones. The immediate object of the present advertisement is to in. form you that, under the act as it has passed, you are entitled not only to one lituulred and nine pounds for every one hundred pounds of principal money, and so in proportion, but also to all your arrears of interest or dividends up to tile time at which this compiuly may pay you the ono hundred and nine pounds per cent. Do not be deluded by any statement that may be made to you us to there being any doubt about your being legally entitled to all arrears of interest or dividends over and above the one hundred and nine pounds per cent. Since this Company dishes nourably raised a doubt upon that subject, I have, through my eminent legal advisers, investigated it, and have also the opinion of counsel that there is no doubt whatever that you must be paid the whole of your arrears before the common shareholders can ever receive a farthing of dividend. You know from what is past that 1 shall continue to do my best.—l um, respectfully, THOMAS STURGE.
