London-26, Birchin-lane, Coruhill. Southampton -79 , High-street. This Company has been formed for the purpose of conducting the nationally-important business of emigration with undeviating pane_ twenty, and with the greatest possible security, regularity, and co in _ fort ; and is at the present time carrying out an extensive contract with her Majesty's Government. The position of the port of Southampton, connected, or in course of connexion by railway with every part of Great Britain ; the accommodation and convenience afforded by its docks, its safety, and facility of egress to the Channel—ships quitting its shelter getting clear of the Isla of Wight in thl ee hours—eminently adapt it for the embarkation of large bodies of passengers, who, in arranging with this Company, will be conveyed thither from London free by rail way, instead of having to encounter the sea-passage by the Downs, and the most difficult part of the English Channel, in which navi gation, as is well-known, much del iy and annoyance, and the most serious disasters have from time to time occurred. It is intended that the Company's ships shall touch at Plymouth, when necessary, to receive passengers from the south-western counties, and from Ireland ; the latter can join at Plymouth by steam-boats from Cork, Dublin, Belfast, &c., at a very small cost, and an emigration depot, with bedding, cooking apparatus, &c., and under proper management, is provided for their reception whilst at Plymouth. The object of the directors will be so to conduct the operations of this Company as to obtain for it the confidence of her Majesty's Government, and of the British public. All particulars may be obtained on application to the General Manager, at the offices of the Company in London or Southampton.

LONDON, SATURDAY E N,f - elk lar That the London and York shareholders shall retain and divide amongst them their own deposits less their own expenses. That the said capital shall be Eastern Counties capital, and shall divide all profits from the new lines and the existing Eastern Counties lines along with the capital of the Eastern Counties and Northern and Eastern Companies. That the Eastern Counties shares of 141. 16s. shall be credited with a bonus of 4s. eaeh, so as to become 151. shares, and that the Northern and Eastern shareholders shall have a corresponding bonus. - That the Eastern Counties Company shall, if decided upon by such new Board of Directors, be called the Great Northern and Eastern Company. London and York Railway, °Rica, 7, Lothbury, 29th April, 1846. TO C. P. RONEY, ESQ., SECRETARY TO THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Sir,—The Directors of the London and York Railway have had before them the offer of the Eastern Counties Company, dated the 23d, transmitted in your letter of the same date, received on the 24th instant, containing in substance the following terms : Ist.. The formation of a combined Board, consisting of twelve Eastern Counties' Directors, and six London and York Directors, who shall determine which of the lines shall be promoted, and which abandoned. 2d. That the London and York Stock of 501. shall, share for share, be converted into 151. shares in the Eastern Counties Extensions, on which 10s. shall be credited-4s. being credited on the existing Eastern Counties Shares, thus reducing the preference to 65., instead of 10s. In reply to which, I am desired to inform you that the Directors observe—that the Stock offered by the second proposition is precisely the same as the Eastern Counties Extension Stock, now selling in the market at about the same price as London and York Shares ; there is, therefore, no temptation in a pecuniary point of view con- Mined in this offer. It the Eastern Counties Company had proposed to give an interest in their existing stock, upon which they are re ceiving dividends, the London and York Directors could understand its pecuniary advantages. But what do they propose to give ? Shares wholly dependant upon the passing of a Bill which Parliament is not likely to sanction in 1846, having rejected it in 1845. What security is there in this proposition to the London and York Shareholders ? Not half so much as they now possess in their own Shares; for if Parlia ment does not sanction the Cambridge Extension Lines, the Stock offered becomes mere waste paper. The first proposition necessarily involves the abandonment of the London and York Line. The Eastern Counties Board having so constantly denounced that line, and having steadily contended for the sufficiency of the Cambridge lines, would, without doubt, by the ma jority of twelve to six thus given them, determine to abandon the first, and prosecute only the latter. With every desire to meet the Eastern Counties Company, and concert equitable terms of amalgamation, the London and York Di rectors, cannot regard the proposals now wade, as containing even any pecuniary inducements to commit the suicidal act of accepting them. The offer Is, indeed, only a reiteration of that made by Mr. Hudson, on the 3d December last. It was then accompanied by a threat of appeal to the Shareholders, against the Directors, should they ven ture to refuse it. The Directors did unanimously refuse it —as an nounced to Mr. Hudson, by the letter of Mr. Astell, the Chairman, on the 16th December—and the Shareholders as unanimously ratified that refusal, by subsequently signing the Parl'amentary deeds au thorising the present renewed application to Parliament. The threatened appeal to the Shareholders was not then made; but it seems that the present state of the money market, and the failure of every other means of opposition, have induced the Eastern Counties Company now to make the attempt. The London and York Directors allude to the published correspon dence between Mr. Joseph La Mert, as Chairman of a Committee advertised to meet in Size-lane, and the Eastern Counties Company: besides the fact, that Mr. La Mert is not a subscriber to the London and York deed, but was lately, if not at present, a great holder of Eastern Counties stock, the Directors would refer to that correspon dence, and ask whether it is probable that any parties honestly de siring to serve the London and York Shareholders would, instead of stating their opinions and feelings confidently to their own Directors, advertise for an organised disunion in the Company itself, before proposing to make terms with its antagonist. The Directors of the London and York Company would suggest to the Eastern Counties Board, to consider whether such a course of proceeding is what ought to be adopted by Directors towards each other, or is likely to conduce to the good understanding which the Eastern Counties Company profess to desire. For the present, they consider the offer motif., accompanied by such an agency, to be an unworthy mode of attempting to dissolve the London and York Company, and to deprive the Shareholders of those advantages which their present position secures to them; and the Directors have, therefore, no hesitation in rejecting it. In conclusion, the Directors instruct me to state, that under a sincere anxiety to promote an amicable understanding between the two Companies, and to save the expense of a costly contest in Par liament, they are quite ready, by a deputation, to discuss the terms aeon winch a general amalgamation can hereafter be safely accom plished, under the condition that the London and York scheme, in all its integrity, be carried into effect. I am, Sir, your obedient, bumble servant, J. 11. MOWATT, Secretary. . _ Eastern Counties Railway, Shoreditch, May I, 1846. Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 29th ult. The Bills for the extension lines of the Eastern Counties Company were not rejected last sessions, as most incorrectly stated in that letter. The case of the Eastern Counties Company was never even heard. The Committee of the House of Lords will in this session have ample time to hear that case, and the evidence in opposition to the London and York Railway, and the Directors of the Eastern Counties Company are perfectly confident as to the result. The Directors of the London and York Company have attempted to ridicule and contemn the Reports on Railways of the Board of Trade made last year. It has still to be decided, however, whether the report of the Board of Trade which rejected the London and York Rail way was not essentially correct. The decision on that question will probably leave the London and York Directors cause to regret that they have again refused the large sacrifices which the Eastern Counties Company were willing to make in order to bring the expen sive Parliamentary contest to an amicable termination, beneficial to the public. The Eastern Counties Company will never be parties to consent to the passing of the London and York Railway Bill in all its integrity ; and, therefore, your proposition for deputations of the two Companies to meet upon that basis is rejected. The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company have always stated what they sincerely believe, that, if that Bill "in its integrity" be passed, the under taking will be ruinous to all concerned, and their opinion is not altered but confirmed by the circumstance that the London and York Directors have now arranged, as publicly reported, with other par ties, that they shall contribute to the risks and losses of the London and York Company. If the London and York Railway be, in the view of its Directors, so excellent and remunerative a concern, it is strange indeed that they should (to use the language of Mr. Astell's advertisement) be making arrangements to "diminish individual resPonsibillty," and that they should announce that they will have to resort to management and financing to keep off calls until the spring of next year, when money matters may be worse instead of being bettor lian they are at present. I have now to refer to the liberal offer made by the Eastern Counties Company in their letter to you of the 23d of April ; as that offer has not been accepted by the London and York Directors, I am desired to state that it is entirely withdrawn. If the share holders of the London and York Company, consulting their own in terests, appreciate it better than the Directors, who, evidently, from Chet erroneous reasoning, are determined not to see its large pecuniary advantages to the London and York proprietors, this Board will certainly not be deterred by any language such as is re. sone to in your letter, or Mr. Astell's advertisement, from holding c ommunications with any respectable body of gentlemen, who shall prove themselves to be representatives of a large number of London and York shareholders. It is no new thing for shareholders to interfere in the management of their own property, I with ieioi g n r ,t, e r, t n o : p f i ti t hn t ei nwtshi undertakings aetswo f tdh directors, e in which th ey were engagedl n n ve a who may a c y nt b it e l e e o d m t : are to rs as important, atteptien as directors themselves when their number is large and oand their roceedings respectful.

C h o a n s i m g i i v t t e e n e your Directors so much uneasiness '• , it is before the public, who can judge best whether it be a proper communication and respectful to the London and York Board. There is not the slightest regret on the part of the Eastern Counties' Board that such a letter was written. In conclusion, I have only to remark that, for the second time, your Board has been guilty of the unfairness of publishing your an swers without the communications of the Eastern Counties Company, to which they were replies. This letter, together with mine to you of the 23d ultimo, will of course receive the same publicity as you have givdn to your answer of the 29th ultimo. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) C. I'. RONEY, Secretary, J. R. Mowatt, Esq., Secretary, London and York Railway, 7, Lothbury. LONDON AND YORK SHAREHOLDER& In the months of November and December last I warned you to be cautious in signing new deeds, and incurring heavy liabilities. You declined to take my advice. The deeds Lave been signed, and the learned Crown lawyers have determined that they are binding upon the subscribers, and tkat the old subscription contract is also valid. Which subscribers will have the pleasure of being sued for calls if the Bill should pass is, therefore, yet to be known lam thankful to say that I parted with my shares, but I cannot help thinking of those whom I have left in misery, and opening their eyes to that which will cause an extraordinary consternation amongst them, and which has been discovered from a very recent comparison of the two deeds to which a public print directed my attention.

't his same Mr. Astell, by the first deed, appears to have paidlos. as a deposit, but having no doubt sold 75 shares, he would receive from the purchaser 187/. 10s. of this deposit, leaving 125/. only as his con tribution to the enormous expenses in Parliament. But even in this respect he has been cautious and wise, for who can doubt that the 75 shares were sold at a premium of probably 3/. per share, being half the highe s t premium London and York shares reached, in which case his account as the chief leader in the expenditure of your money will stand as follows —Paid, 125/. ; received, 25/ balance in his favour, 100/. of cl ear gain. He can look on and laugh at the strife. Edward Beckett Denison, Esq., M.P., on the other hand, cuts a somewhat better figure. His subscription to the first deed was for 50 shares, and he has made the huge effort of increasing his stake by 25 shares more, making a total subscription of 3 ,7501., and the payment of 1871. 10s. in deposits towards the 25 0,000/. of expenses. This is rather weak support to a pet child by the Member of Parlia meld for the largest county in England. But the confidence of Francis Mowatt, Es he excellence of the concern far exceeds that of the two otherleader. Ills subscrip tion to the first deed was 1,668 shares, or 8 3,400/., and to the last deed he subscribes nothing! Having, of course, sold all his shares, and taking his premium at 3/. per share as an average, he is thus a gainer by fighting with your money 0(5,004/. When I look at these stag gering facts—which ought to be made public in these days of railway exposures in reference to an undertaking which asserts such preten sions to purity and manificence—l want nothing more to make me pity you all, and to thank my stars that I am no longer 1,049 n, 224 4prll, 1846.

Sir,—The Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company de sire me to send, for the consideration and decision of the Directors of the London and York Railway Company, the inclosed proposition. It has emanated from the consideration by the Eastern Counties Directors of the present state of the money market and of public feeling, and from the sincere desire that before the expensive contest in Parliament between the Eastern Counties and London and York Companies be again resumed, one further and final effort should be made to give the shareholders of both Companies an united interest under the management of a joint Board of Directors, In constructing such lines into the counties of Hertford, Bedford, Huntingdon, Lincoln, and York, as Parliament shall select and sanction. 'the proposed Joint Board would necessarily aim at pro moting the interests of the shareholders, in giving preference to par ticular lines over others, and would, of course, have the power and the desire to pursue, in reference to the Bills before Parliament of the Eastern Counties and London and York Companies, and in re ference to all competing schemes, such proceedings, as while they defeated or led to the withdrawal of opposition to the lines promoted by the Joint Board should be satisfactory to the Legislature, and e I a iadvantageous desired o to h the favour of an early answ er , w h et h er t re er t the Directors of the London and York Company accept or reject the proposition.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) C.

That the works authorised by such Bills shall be constructed with a capital divided into 151. shares, and that 108,000 of such shares, with 10s. per share credited as paid thereon (being a bonus 0f54,0001. to the London and York Company), shall be issued to the London and York shareholders.
