This will be effected by a large mast, 7'5 feet in length, surmounted by a topmast 68 feet long, secured to the piles in the river, and by a second mast 80 feet long, with a 56-feet topmast, timed in the masonry on land. On the top of these twelve wires will pa , s, protected by suitable lightning conductors, arid the whole stayed with patent wire rigging. To give as nautical a character as practicable to the erections, the masts and topmasts are fitted with crosstrees and caps, similar to those of an immense schooner. The whole have been made in Hull, at the establishment of Mr. T. A. Wilkinson, under the superintendence of Mr. J. Aughton, the contractor. The telegraph will La completed in two or three weeks from Hull to MiUtird Junction, which will place us in communication with York, Scarborough, Newcastle, and the ports of Dur ham northward, and with Leeds on the west ; and also, in a few more weeks, with Liverpool westward end Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Rottierham, Derby, and.

ORLEANS AND VIERZON.—The woiks ou this line have been most seriously damaged by the sudden rising of the river Loire, the bridge over which for the service of the rail having been to a great extent shattered. It is thought that it will be found necessary to reconstruct the bridge entirely, which would postpone the opening of the line for nearly one year, unless a temporary struc ture could be supplied. The bridge had been subjected to the severest tests to try its solidity, and has proved perfectly secure. As soon as the accident was made known in Paris, the Minister of Public Works repaired to Orleans, where M. Floucaud, engineer of highways, charged with the surveillance of the works on the central line, was stationed. Although the delay of the opening of the line will be severely felt by the company, the state will be at the expense of reconstructing _the bridge. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, OCTOBER 27.

DUBLIN,OCT. 25.—There is little or no intelligence in the provincial papers received to-clay; and, as a num ber of hands are now actually employed by the Bnar,l of Works, and measures are being taken to insure speedy and profitable labour in those districts where the demand for it is most urgent, it is to be hoped that ere long— no mischievous influences interposing —the accounts will be of a less gloomy character than they have uniformly been for the last three months. The Navan Relief Committee having memorialised the Board of Works for an increase of wages to the labourers employed by the board, received the following very proper reply:— -" Office of Public Works, Dublin, Oct. 17. "Sir,--I have to acknowledge the receipt of the me morial of the board of guardians of the Navan Union, praying for an increase of wages to the labourers em ployed under the Board of Works. " And in reply I am directed to inform you, that the Board earnestly press upon the board of guardians the advantage which will result, not only to the country, but to the labourers themselves, from the adoption of the measured work, by which alone higher wages can be ob tained, and trust they may call on the board of guardians for their aid and co-operation, and for their influence in explaining the subject to the people. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "JOSEPH C. WALKER, Secretary. " Henry Meredyth, Esq." Mr. O'Connell had published in the Cork Reporter very long address to " The Steadfast Moral Force Re. peelers of the City of Cork," in which he expatiates upon the advantages of moral, over physical force, and dis cusses with extreme prolixity the resolutions in favour of " Young Ireland " which had been carried in Cork. He thus concludes : " For the present, I content m}•self with declaring my unalterable adhesion to the full strength, form and pressure of the moral-force doctrine. For two reasons "First.—My thorough conviction that political in stitutions cannot be safely, wisely, or securely amelior ated by any other than moral and peaceable means. "Secondly.---That any concession now made to the Young Ireland party (if there were to be concessions at their side, which they have not been asked for) might easily be construed by a Dublin jury into an accession to a principle involving deep guilt. " The Association, therefore, cannot concede ; and, if it could, it ought not ; leaving time to develop the fatuity and folly of those who now seek conciliation by lauding and maintaining! those who are in the wrong—namely. the supporters of the physical force principle ; while they assail and vituperate those whom they admit to be in the right—the maintainers of the moral force doctrine." RAIL WA Y INTELLIGENCE. YORK AND NORTH. MIDLAND. Y.. itx, TUESDAY. A special general meeting was ield yesterday, at the De Grey Rcoms. The meeting vas very numerouslyattended, there being not less than ;00 shareholders present. Mr. IlunsoN, M.P., presided, and said---The object of !IV first resolution was this : we issued a c)rtain quantity of shires in contemplation or obtaining an Act, but in pplying for that Act, instead of depositing the money ve did so o n a d ec l aration, and therefore by adopting his resolution you will only be confirming what you Lye alroa ly dote:. Th., seeing resolution, I think, •xplaina itself ; - the object of it is to provide re- a mil ion of money, which we shall have to pay for the Hull tad Selby line in 1850. By that means we shall take :ertain shares at such prices as the directors shall think troper out of the market, and thereby present the ne ...ssity of calling upon you to pay a milli rn of money in 'tie day. The remaining part of the resolution, or .:ether series of resolution s , provides for the debt of the enpany, 500,0001. or .600,0001., by making it capital in 850, when the poaition of the company will be such as cc enable the directors to continue the dividend on an ncreased capital ; it will then be added to the York and North Midland capital, We guarantee not less than 6 . .er cent. ; if we are enabled to pay more you are en ;Wee' to it, but we shall not give less. Of course there would be a natural anxiety among the shareholders to know, after this increase of capital, what will be the total amount of the capital of the company. 'I have 4ated at different-times the total length of miles possessed ty this company ; but I will restate that, as it may aot be in the recollection of every shareholder whom I lave the honour of addressing. I will shortly state our position, and then you will be able to judge of our - uture prospects. Including that capital, ,which the lirectors anticipate will be authorised to day, the total 'mount of capital will be 4,721,2501, and the total iength of railway,under your m anagement w i ll b e 306, he average cost per mile being 15,4001. The length of -ailway at present 'in 'working operation is 165 miles, .vhich includes thirty miles of the Hull and Burlington age, and' also the six miles of the Filey branch. Still should mention, .that although these Awo branches lave been opened, they have not been as. yet used for merchandise traffic, to any great extent so far, and herefore we may consider them not completely opened. •)n the Ist of July in the next year the amount of the ,umber of miles will be increased by nearly 100, that 1, we shall have 97i miles to open on or before that .teriod, winch will materially add to our revenue, and nest materially extend the company's powers and our aeans of.paying you your .dividends. The directors hink that in all probability the Leeds and Selby shares .vill be called up in the,course of that time, viz., before July next, togetherwrith 5/. upon the extension shires, 4nd a certain sum on- the East and West Ridings. We propose that the whole of the stock, after .he Ist of July, whatever may be the sum called ip, shall receive dividend alike. We hope that ;hat dividend will be ten percent.—(Applause.) don't feel any, doubt myself—l would tell you if I did— .hat it will be in.the power of the company, when all the noney is capitalised afid'called up in 1850, to pay the lividend which you now receive upon the Yolk and North Midland Sri/Ices. I have no doubt whatever that m the money called up before the Ist of July next you will receive in the following half-year ten per cent. lividend. I f e el no diffi cu lty or hesitation in telling you that- the York and-North Midland proprietors are 'ichly entitled to receive that dividend. We made rail ways when no one else would embark in them. We em sacked our money in the Scarborough line, when almost !very person thought it would be an unprofitable under eking—an undertaking which has been described by me who claims some eminence in railway matters, as a fine totally destitute of traffic, merely running to a small fishing village in Yorkshire, and constructed by the sur- Aus capital of the company. I need not say to you that .he Scarborough is one of the best paying lines in the kingdom.—(Applause.) But then you made it at a time when no person was making railways, when all hands were tied up, and - When the country at large seemed otally disinclined to embark its capital in these under r.akings. The consequence was, you made that line when usbour was cheap, and you bought your iron at some :hing like live guineas per ton ; nevertheless, it ought Jot to be thought unfair that you should reap the reward .f the enterprise and courage with which you undertook hat work at that time. I state these facts, because I think they cannot be-- too often put in print, or placed !)efore the public.—(llear, hear.) There was a ime when these - undertakings were great specu ations, and if, by your enterprise, and by the confi lence which you have reposed in the board over which I have the honour to preside, you have been induced to embark your capital,,l think no person ought to find 'cult with your receiving from the capital the reward vhich I have always thought was the great principle of .ommercial enterprise.—(Applause.) But whilst ycu have received an adequate remuneration for your ca ital, we have given increased facilities, not only as re ;tads an increased number of trains, but in every way e; regards the mana,„eement of our truffle, beyond what -dated last year. Among other things we have given co the public, at all the principal stations, an opportunity )f taking day tickets, which of course has affected ,ur revenue to a - militia extent, yet the public have de dyed great advantages, and Ido not think it improbable hat along with the 10 per cent, which you receive, the public will ere long receive a further considerable re duction of fares on the York and North Midl .nd line. I ttn sanguine enough to believe that the traffic will so in- Tease by the opening out of a large extent of country, chat whilst we shill be enabled to pay you 10 per cent. von the capital which has been employed in the con ,truction of the branch lines, the public will receive that which we are pledged, but not bound by law, to give them. As an old-company we are not bound by law; I ,ay that we are pledged, and it is my anxious desire, as t ever has been, that while you as shareholders receive hat dividend, which the Legislature and any reasonable nan does not think an unreasonable dividend upon speculation of this kind, the public should also I e board at the n ex t half may mention that it i s he yearly meeting to prop ose to conso lid ate the stock tion benefited. of th ..f the company,..so that any o ne ma y b u y s toc k i nstea d 4' shares. The adoptio n o f that plan by the Midland Company has been found t o b e product i ve of great faci ibneten .ity, and I think it-would be to the interest of this com• any to do the sump'. Our applications to Parliament in he next session will be very limited. There will be one .0 improve our terminus at Harrowgate, and arrange .nents have already been made of a satisfactory nature, .vhich will enable us to h ave an excellent terminus op „tosite the Brunswick Hotel, which, as any one acquainted vith the place will know, is one of the best localities in .larrowgate. We shall also have to apply for a Bill to mable us to erect- a new station at Hull, an eligible site or which, and one which has been approved of by the whole town, has been selected. Every one in the habit ,f visiting that town will be aware of the inconvenient and bad arrangement of the present building ; besides, we want the present building, and more if we could have It, for our goods-traffic, which has so increased, and will still further increase that if we could obtain additional room, it would be advisable for us to do so.—(Great applause.) There will be one other Bill. You will re nember we subscribed a certain sum to the Ax :mire° line, from Gainsborough to Goale, and we in tend to apply for that Bill again. We should have )btained it last session . but ,for the defuctive manner in which the levels had been taken. I must state, however, .hat no fau:t in this respect attaches to the engineering staff of the York and North Midland Company, because that line was brought out by an independent company, with whom we thought it better to unite, as we con ,emplated constructing a line in that direction ourselves. %,Sr e shall, therefore, again apply fur that Bill, as the rock and North Midland Company have a larger amount of stock in the - undertakin g than wo had before, ,n account of the retirement of some of the shareholders. l'here are, howev, r, some of the local proprietors who ,till hold their intere s t i n t h e line, andthey are to re give 4i per cent., with half the profits. With these -xceptions lam happy to say w e shall not hive any ap- Olieitions to Parliament durin g the next session. Gentle. men, the resolutions which I have read are those which I shall have the honour to submit to you, and if I hare not explained them sufficiently—if you wish for further uformatton, I can only say that it will afford me the utmost pleasure and satisfaction. Mr. Love. then asked after •what rate the calls upon the West Riding shares would be mad e , The CRAIRMAN—We are letting immediately thirty tales of these lines, which a e hope to open next June July, and at all events a call of Si. will be made, if not more ; but whatever is called up will, on the )Ist December following, feceive its 10 per cent, T he di. rectors are, of course, satisfied that they can do this without a doubt. I would not have told you if we had not been without doubt or hesitation on the sub ject.—(Applause.) Mr. before the Lovz—W '• I the year?old Selby shares b e called up Ist of July next The CHAIRMAN —Certainly; but it may be in Ja nuary, as we want to get the stock consolidated. As long as we could borrow money at 3i per cent,, it was advisable to do so; but when we Come to be asked 4 per cent., or a little more, then it ceases to be advantageous to us to have that borrowed money, and hence the ne cessity for a call upon the shareholders. These shares, I think, ought to stand as well, if not better, in the mar ket, than the old York and North Midland, and probabl3 it has been an injury to them that the money has not been called up. The holder of these shares you see gets 6 . per cent. upon t h a t which he has Lever paid up. ;mud this is one of the things whichit is tho ug h t by Par liament is not placed on proper footing, and perhaps it may be so. Mr. MOOR. of Hull—Have the Manchester and Leeds Company decided whether they will participate in the purchase of the Hull and Selby line, and do es t h e new teraelnte the provision of the stock now spoken of eon k , whole or only half of the capital required for that pur chase? The CHAIRMAN—One-half at present, and if more ' should be found necessary we must have another meet ing. The Manchester acid Leeds direftors have had a leements will bo made very meeting, and I think arral . , Itgives satisfactory to both companies. rile great plea sure to say so. There was not dissentient a. voice, all were agreed, and I hope that the result will be the means Of immediately eniting two powerful companies togeth e r.

ESCAPE FROM SHERIFFS OFFICERS.—A few even ings since the fillowing extraordinary scene occurred at the General Post office in St. Martin's• le-grand : Shortly after six o'clock, while Remington, one of th e porters, was on duty at the northern or newspaper entrance into the office, and while the folding gates were opened for the reception of the masses of bags of papers collected from the several office s of the newsvenders throughout the metropolis, a man, apparently respectably dressed, rushed past the officer into the letter carriers' office. No sooner was he perceived than Remington followed in chase of him, and fi nding that the p ar ty h a d d ar t e d i n t o th e mid dle of the office, he proceeded towards the opening be tween the letter carriers' and the sorting office fir the letters; but whilst there engaged, the porter found that two other men were standing in the doorway, and beck oning him to go to them. Not knowing what to make of a circumstance of so unusual a character, the officer returned to the door, and upon questioning the newly arrived parties, they told him they were sheriffs' officers, and that the man who had entered the office was a party of whom they were in pursuit. and who, having caught sight of them, had " bolted " into the office. While the porter was thus engaged, the intruder rushed through the numerous body of clerks, messengers, &c., who were then busily engaged, in the dispatch of the evening mails, when eventually he sud denly came to a stand still, as if stunned in the midst of tLe range of sorting tables with which the office is filled. For a minute or so his appearance was not noticed , but imm e di ate l y a f terwards one of the officers, perceiving the man did not belong to the esta blishment, requested him to leave the office. Glad of the opportunity to escape by any other wcy than by th e one through which he had entered, he followed the messen ger to the eastern outlet of the o ffi ce , of p os i te to the. f ron t entrance to Goldsm ith's Hall, thus leaving his pur suers many yards distant from him, and in total ignorance of his escape.

It is true that at one time we got a little cross, but I stood steadfastly by your interests, and I am very happy to know that I brought them through steely and unscathed. The resolutions were then put and carried una nimously. Mr. Love: proposed, and Mr. CRAWSIIAY, of Loneon, seconded a motion of special thanks to the chairman, which was carried amid loud applause. Mr. Henson said in reply—To me it is a source of ambition, pride, and gratification, that from all the com panies over which I have the honour to preside, I have always enjoyed unanimous support and confidence. hope that in promoting the interests of the shareholders, I shall not forget the interests of the public. If I kno,ri anything of myself; I believe I have done fairly betwixt the two parties, and to this I attribute the success of the undertakings with which I am connected. It is very well, now that these undertakings are basking in sun shine, fur parties to get up and hold up to contempt, by the use of opprobrious terms, individuals connected with them. There was a time, when not only the share holders, but directors, had to contend with difficulties almost appalling. We have surmounted those difficulties by perseverance, energy, and industry, and, having done so, I think we are richly entitled to our reward. The public, at the same time, have been benefited immensely. The agriculturist, the commercial man, the man of plea sure, the poor, the rich—all have participated in our success. The agriculturist has been enabled to send his produce to market at one-half the former cost. For instance, there has been a difference in the price of corn to the extent of 4s. or ss. per quarter at Wakefield and Driffield; and as we carry corn upon the Bur lington line at 2s. per quarter, what an immense ad vantage it must be to the landed interest to have this ready means of access to a better market ! Then the poor are benefited by having coal brought to their doors at one-half the price, and which has effgeted a saving, in the case of the city of York, of about. 30,000/. it year. We have not only reduced the price of that at tick., but added much to the enjoyment of the poor man, who on his return home on a cold winter's night, can resort to a comfortable fireside.—(Applause.) We have no objet Lion to interference with our concerns if we are reaping an unfair advantage ; but we do object to those who laughed at us in our difficulties, now coming in to legis late, and to lake from us that which we have fairly earned, and to which weare fairly entitled. —(Applause.) In whatever position I am placed I shall always regard with gratitude and esteem the man who embarked his c Thal under disadvantageous circumstances, and I shall always rejoice and lend my willing hand to protect that property to the utmost of my ability, knowing that in doing so I am protecting the interests of the public. YORK AND NEWCASTLE. A special meeting of the proprietors of this company was held shortly after. Mr. HUDSON again presided, and there was a very ful] attendance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN then said—With reference to the first resolution, it is similar to the York case. The authority to create the capital to which it has reference was ap plied for in the House of Commons under a declaration ; by this means we saved the necessity of making a deposit ; and this resolution is merely to confirm what you have already done. The second resolution, and the succeeding ones, provide for the purchase of the Great North of England Railway and its works, by the creation of 159,000 shares of 251. each, on the terms therein con tained, that purchase having to be completed by the year 1850. Gentlemen, the last time I had the pleasure of meeting you, I had the satisfaction of informing you that the Great North of England Railway was no longer a losing concern to us, but that it was paying itself and something more ; and I have no doubt that when the Newcastle and Berwick Railway is opened it will add materially to its receipts on the York and Newcastle line ; and in 1850 I hope:to be able to pay you the same dividend on the entire capital as you are receiving at present. When all our works are completed and opened to th e p u bli c , we s h a ll h ave 225 m il es o f railway at a cost per mile of 99,4661. Therefore this reduces the large price which we have to pay for the Great North of England ; and, taking the whole togeth e r, it does not make what we, in railway language, con sider a'very heavy average. The Midlands cost a much larger sum, and the Manchester and Leeds averaged about 60,0001. a mile. We shall have 225 miles of rail way at an average of less than 30,0001. a mile. By spreading over a large extent of railway the average cost per mile is thereby reduced, and we all well know that the great security to railway property consists in the low price at which it has been constructed. Now, in the application of this principle, I have suggested over and over again, and reflection, and everything I have seen, convinces me that it would be a wise measure if we united with the Newcastle and Berwick Company. We should then have nearly 100 miles of additional railway to include in the average, and an arrangement is now in course of progress by which the Newcastle and Berwick Company will probably apply in the next session of Par. liament for an extension of fifty miles of branch railways, and I think profitable branches too, and very advan tageous to the Newcastle and Berwick Company.— (Applause.) If this is accomplished, and the two com panies become united, we should have 370 miles of rail way. I have made an estimate, along with Mr. H. Wood, who has a local knowledge of the county, that these fifty miles of branch railway can be constructed for 10,0001, a mile, being through a cheap, easy, and economical country. The capital of the York and Newcastle Company, including the purchase of the Great North of England Rail way, will amount to 6,625,0001. If you amalgamate the two concerns—which I hope you will do—you will have a capital of 8,825,000/., and a length of 375 miles of railways, at an average cost of 23,800/. per mile. This reduces the average very materially, and you will have 375 miles of the best lines in England.—(Applause.) Although this is not a Newcastle and Berwick meeting, still I think it may be interesting for you to know the probable position of that company. Last week I had the satisfaction of riding on the whole length of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, when I examined every contract, and saw the position of the whole works, and I will pledge you this—that no bridge built on the line will give way, whatever may be the floods: which they may encounter.—(Applause.) I never saw more substantial works in my life, and no person who takes an interest in works of this character can fail to be ex tremely gratified, at the substantial and handsome man ner in which they have been executed. Gentlemen, I have no doubt that the Newcastle and Berwick Railway very u rapidly with the high level bridge at Newcastle. Nea r ly c m or o i n tr t a li ct o o f rs F ar e e bru p a roe ry e n e e d x in t. a. are also b e openedar aware that by the contractors the whole of the property required for the approaches has been purchased, and a large quantity of it paid for. The houses are being pulled down, the arches are being built on the land side, and the works are proceeding most rapidly on the river. We have g o t N asmyt h' s steam pile driver, which drives piles with the most won derful facility. No doubt the bridge will be completed in less time than was originally anticipated, and you may p r re upon hon th i e t w t ht o a rk s wl everythingh be carried whichried out wexertionith the en utmost do to vigour possible.—(Loud applause.) I know that some parties have an objection to the two companies being amalgamated; but I think it would be a great improve ment if all the lines were amalgamated to Edinburgh.— (Renewed applause.) You see what has been done by the amalgamation of the Newcastle and Darlington, and the Great North of England Railways. lam sure that my sanguine friend (Mr. Oxley) never anticipated that before the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick Rail way we should, be able to pay them 10 per cent. divi dend, without loss to ourselves. When a series of lines are in the hands of one company it is extraordinary what an increase of traffic takes place, and great facilities are thereby derived for the transit of both passengers and merchandise. I have no doubt that the receipts of the Newcastle and Darlington line, by having p issession of the Great North of England Railway, have been in creased in a large measure, and if we could arrange by any means to bring the whole of the lines under one en tire management and control, I believe it would be a vast advantage to the public on this side the island.— (Cheers.) If any persons had any doubt as to the pro priety of an amalgamation between the York and New castle and the Newcastle and Berwick, I think they can have no doubt now, after the bonus which the York and Newcastle shareholders have received in the increase of their capital. I thick it is only fair to state, that if they are united, the capital for the entire construction of the main line and branches of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway should be raised by the shareholders of that company.—(Hear, hear.) I consider that they will be entitled to the issue of the requisite additional stock themselves; it is their right and proper property, and therefore, if the amalgamation should take place, it will do so under the reservation that the Newcastle and Ber wick shall complete their line and branches, and shall be entitled to such new shares as will be requisite fur the completion of the works.—(Applause.) 1 have not the least doubt—l firmly believe that the Berwick line will be as productive as any part of our line. I have seen the country, and I never felt more sanguine as to the traffic to be derived. I have no doubt that, among other things, we shall supply the whole district in with coke; we shall do an immense trade in coal and coke. In that opinion I am corroborated by my friend Mr. Wood. Mr. NICHOLAS WOOD, of Newcastle—l am quite sure of " The CEIAIRMAN—Then on the Newcastle and Berwick line there is the best engine coal in the world, and the whole district abounds in minerals. The district is one also rich in agricultural produce, as the stock-yards abun dantly testify : it is perfectly delightful to behold them. The great weight of this produce is taken to Newcastle, principally in carts. By this description of conveyance large quantities of produce are taken from as far as Alnwick to Newcastle, a distance of 35 miles. This produce will come as a matter of course on to the 13er• wick Railway. There are ton or twelve coaches run ning between Newcastle and Berwick, and they are full of passengers every day. When at Alnvvick I was in formed by a gentleman that a friend of his sat up one night for three coaches, but every one of them was full, and that his ponstantly been the (A.se,—(Applause.) Then, looking to the cost of this lino, the main line will cost something like 17,000/. per mile ; but, including the proposed branches, the cost will be under 15,0001 per mile. To my mind there never was a p l aarer case made qqt whgrpin qn 4Frpiempt tie qo 4aye snaested, PRICE SD. MANCHESTER AND LEEDS.

Mr. SAMUEL BROOKS was, after the lapse of an hour, called to the chair. Mr. DARBYSHIRE, the law clerk, having reaa the advertisement convening the meeting, and the clause of the Amalgamation Act directing the company to hold a meeting for the above purpose, within two months after the passing of the Act, The CHAIRMAN briefly stated the objects of the meet ing, his statement being in substance merely a reiteration of the terms in the advertisement ; after which he moved the following resolutions seriatim :—" That pursuant to, and in compliance with, the provisions of the Act to incorporate the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Rail way Company with the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company, passed in the last session of Parliament, this company does now create 10,640 new shares of 501. each. That the said new shares be appropriated and disposed of to the proprietors of shares in the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction Railway Company in manner directed by the said Act." The motion having been seconded, Mr. GEORGE HADFIELD, solicitor, called the attention of the chairman to the fact, whilst the shareholders in the Huddersfield and Sheffield Company were allowed interest upon their calls by the Leeds Company, the shareholders in the Bury and Liverpool Company were not allowed any interest at all upon the calls made upon them. Mr. DARBYSHIRE stated that the proper time to mention this subject would be at the Liverpool and Bury Railway meeting, which would take place in about three weeks. The resolutions then passed, and the proceedings ter minated. NORTH BRITISIL-MEETING OF YORKSHIRE SHAREHOLDERS. Yonx, TUESDAY, OCT. 27.—Yesterday afternoon a numerous and influential meeting of shareholders in the North British Railway took place at the White horse Hotel, in this city, to take into consideration the best course to be pursued at the general meeting, which is to be held at Edinburgh on thenth inst. Mr. Thomas Price was called upon to preside. Mr. 11. WATSON, of York, said that the simple point at issue that day was as to how the shareholders would vote at the approaching meeting at Edinburgh. He thought it desirable that a committee should be formed, and that such committee should form a deputation to wait upon Mr. Hudson, the chairman of the York and Newcastle Company, to ascertain from that gentleman whether he was willing to take the North British line under his management and control, and whether an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Perth project would forward the interests of the shareholders of this company. Mr. NuTT read letters from Mr. John Learmonth and two others from Edinburgh, to the effect that it would be desirable to amalgamate the North British Railway with the Edinburgh and Perth. A conversation of a desultory nature ensued, and it was ultimately resolved that a deputation should wait upon Mr. Hudson, to ascertain if he was willing to take the management of the North British line, upon fair and equitable terms. Tho committee having been named, they immediately left the room, and waited on Mr. Hudson, who received them in the most courteous manner, and expressed his willingness to meet the views of the North British Company, and to accept the ma nagenr.nt of the line upon fair and «juitable terms. This announcement was received with an expression of gene ral approbation. Oa the suggestion of the CHAIRMAN, a memorial was then drawn up, requesting the directors to adjourn the meeting of the 30th instant for a fortnight, so that teps might be taken to obtain the signatures of shareholders resident in other towns. THE GREAT WESTERN.—The directors have deter mined strictly to enforce their by-laws, particularly with respect to smoking at the stations and in the carriages, a clause therein imposing a penalty of 4th. upon offenders. THE MENAI TUBULAR BRIDGE.—STRENGTH or TUDES.—Mr. W. Fairbairn and Mr. E. Hodgkinson have both been engaged in extensive and independent sets of experiments, to ascertain the best form to give to the beams to be employed in the construction of the tu bular bridge by which the Chester and Holyhead Rail way is to be carried over the Menai Straits. Mr. Fairbairn's experiments may be said to have only esta blished this general fact—that hollow beams of wrought iron are about three times stronger than solid beams of the same form. Mr. Hodgkinsou's experiments had for their special object to ascertain what sort of hollow beam is the best—oblong, or square, or cylindrical. From the results which are shown in the following table, it will be seen that the cylindrical are (as might have been, and was, in fact, anticipated by Mr. Hodg - kinson) the strongest of all, and the square next in degree.

Our recipts are rathi r more than 6,0001. per week for tl.is half-year, and I tru t to see them considerably augmented.—(Applause.) With respect to new projects we do not contemplate asking the sanction of Parliament to any great under takings during the next session. The first Bill will he for the Tean Valley line, which will give a shorter and more direct route to the city of Durham, and will pass through an important district both as regards minerals and population. We shall have a small extension on the Gateshead line to some considerable manufactories. It will not exceed two or three miles in length, but will give us a large accession of traffic on the parent line. We shall have another Bill to confirm our pur chase of the Hartlepool Dock and Railway, and we also contemplate a small branch to the town of Easing wold. We shall also apply again for a Bill to enable us to construct a dock at Jarrow Slake. We are now greatly inconvenienced for want of increased facilities in the shipping t f coals, our means not being adequate to our wants. We are working night and day, but it is impossible that we can provide for the traffic until we can increase our dock accommodation, when we shall meetrincrease our trade, and cause to be brought from foreign ports a large quantity of general merchandise.-- (A pplause.) The cost of this dock will be about 100,000/., and the work will be of easy construction.—(Applause.) These are all the undertakings for which we shall solicit Parliamentary sanction in the next session. lam happy to inform you that the Boroughbridge branch is in course of construction, and will probably be opened soon after Christmas. The other branches are progressing, and will be brought into profitable operatioa as seen as possible. We propose that the extension shares shall receive, after the Ist of July next, the same dividend as the original stock. We feel confident that we shall be in a condition to pay it, because the Newcastle and Berwick line will then be opened; the North British, I hope, will then be in an efficient state. Our traffic will be so considerable as to enable us to give our present rate of dividend on the increased stock. We have causes in our Acts which enable us to convert our shares into stock, and this we propose to do at the next half-yearly meeting.—(Applause.) If before I put the resolution any shareholder should wish for any further information, I shall be most happy to afford it.—(Applause.) Mr. IL LOVE put several questions on the chairman's statement, the answers to which, however, did not elicit any new facts with respect to the rate at which subse quent calls would be made. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors would care fully consider the position of the proprietors.. He also added that it was probable four per cen:,. would be paid on the extension shares issued in January, until they become the stock of the company ; but the directors have not yet made up their minds on this matter, which was of little consequence, as in all probability they would, ere long, have 9 per cent. The resolutions were then put and carried unani nimously. Mr. T. Paten then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. The motion was carried by acclamation. The meeting then separated. No. 16,882.
