And such resolutions are intended to comprise certain other objects relating to the affairs of the Campany.—The chair will be taken at ty elve o'clock at noon precisely. THOMAS WHEELER. "Manchester, Dec. 17th, 1840." About a quarter-past twelve o'clock there were not thirty Proprietors present; but subsequently the room became filled, and there could not be fewer than sixty Shareholders at the meeting.—Twenty-two minutes after twelve, Mr. JAMES BURT proposed that Mr. Tho nas Ashton, of Hyde, should take the chair. The moti on was seconded by Mr. Alderman BROOKS, and passed unan . mously. Mr. ASHTON took the chair, and called on Mr. 'l'. WHEELER, the law- clerk of the Company, to read the ad vertisement (above given) convening the meeting; having done which Mr. Wheeler said--This meeting is convened by the Directors under the clause in the Subscribers' agree ment, which is the deed constituting the Company, which I will read : " That if at any time it shall appear, that the Board of Di rectors have expended the full sum of three porn is ten shil ling; per share of the subscrib.ll capital of the sa'd Company in the nece-sary application or applications to Parliament for the proposed Act or Acts incorporating the said Company, but without obtaining the Fame, then, and in that case, it shall not be lawful for the said Board of Directors to proceed to make any further application to Parliament for any such Act or Acts, if the Subscribers to the said Company or undertaking Alai consider it a lvi:able to abandon the said projected undertak ing, and to dissolve the said Company ; and that, in the case acoresaid, it shall be lawful for the said Board of Directors, or for any twenty of the Subscribers to the said Company or un dertaking, to call by public advertisement, to be inserted in three Nlanchester and three London newspapers, a general meeting of the Subscribers to the said Company or under taking (of which said general meeting, and also of th e o bj ec t thereof, twenty-one clear d a y s ' no ti ce sall be given by the said advertisement ) , and the majority of the persons present at such general meeting (such general meeting, nevertheless, to con sist of not less than forty persons, holding in the aggregate one thousand six hundred shares in the said Company or under taking) shall have full power to determine whether and in what manner the said projected undertaking shall be further proceeded with, or whether and upon what terms and condi tions the said undertaking shall be abandoned, and the said Company dissolved, and the affairs thereof finally wound up." The advertisement has been inserted, 21 days before this meeting, in three Manchester and three London papers —The CHAIRMAN then called on Mr. WHEELER :0 read the report, and Mr. Wheeler said that printed copies of it for the Proprietors would shortly arrive from the printers.—Mr. THOMAS OLLIVANT said, that, before the Report was read, he thought it would be desirable to take the sense of the meeting as to the propriety of whether the holders of scrip should not be present.—Mr, T. WHEELER: That is a question which the deed determines, Mr. 0111- cant. The object of the meeting being to dissolve the Company, the meeting must be held in strict conformity with the provision of the deed which has just been read to the meeting.—Mr. OLLIVANT : I did not understand there was anything in that to exclude the Scripholders.—Mr. WHEELER: Oh, certainly ; their names are not to the decd. Any gentleman whose name is to the deed is ad missible here, and the gentlemen who have put their names to the deed are now in the room ; but, of course, those who have not done so, and thereby ha ve no t converte d themselves into Shareholders, are not present; and for this reason, that if any resolution were passed by a majo rity, consisting portly of Scripholders and partly of Saareholders, it wculd be illegal, and the Company could not act upon it.—Mr. OLLIVANT : Then a per. son whose name is to the deed, but who has sold his shares, has a right to attend this meeting ? Mr. HEELER : Certainly ; because, though he may have sold his shares, he does not get rid of his liabili:y to the Company, and therefore he has a right to attend. But the Scripholders have no s teh right ; otherwise it would be possible for a gentleman signing the deed for a hundred shares, and who by virtue of them would have only one vote, to subdivide these hundred shares amongst a hundred people, who might come here, and swamp this meeting by voting in a particular mode.—Mr. OLLIVANT : My object is only to be satisfied as to whether the Scripholders are or are not entitled to be present.—Mr. G. R. CHAPEL!. : I do not attribute to Mr. 011ivant the slightest participation in the document which I am going to read to the meeting ; but I think, when it has been read, you will be perfectly satisfied at the justice of the reason given, as well as tl e legality of the thing—the deed not authorizing scrip lieldere, to be present. I have had a great number of papers and documents Writ to me gratuitoasiy, but-al tun fortunately of one sort. I say so, because, so far from operating on my mind to give me sny dislike to the un dertaking, the reverse has been the case. I believe that those who have taken so much pains, and been at so much expense, to convince ma that the undertaking is a bad oee, and of no value, ere sure that is valuable, or they would not have taken the pains and trouble to labour to convince others to the contrary. But I will give you the document. [Mr. Chappell then read a lithographed form, in the following terms " Sir,—ln consideration of your paying me £ for five shares in the Manchester Extension Railway, I hereby engage not to sign any new Parliamentary deed in respect of the said shares ; and, if required, I further engage to sign a petition against any application to Parliament to carry out the under taking under the powers of the old deed, and to do nothing which shall deprive you of the full benefit of the proportion of any balance that may now remain in the hands of the Coin pany, attached to such five shares.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant."' Gentlemen, I'll name the party from whom this came. It was Mr. Edward Ashworth, who is the agent for the Lon don and Birmingham Company, and the Midland Counties Company.—( Hear.) Now, gentlemen. are undertakings like ours to he swamped in so disgraceful, mean, and con temptible a manner, as for the agents of other railway companies to go in the dark, and buy our shares, and then get people to come here, and overturn all you have done to advantage a line which was started for, and I believe will be fur, the benefit of Manchester ? I call these means despicable. A fair, manly, honourable opposition we had reason to expect; but we had no reason to expect, from Companies like these, such en opposition as this dccument makes known to the public. The intention is evident— and they even went so far as to tell a broker, " A man with a wooden leg will do"—it was done in the expecta tion of parties buying the shares being admitted here to vote and swamp you.—Mr. T. OLLIVANT : I presume it is almost unnecessary for me to deny all participation in that document. —Mr. CHAPPELL repeated he distinctly disclaimed any intention to impute such a thing to Mr. 011ivant.—The CHAteeteN said, that Mr. Ashworth, the very person who had signed that document, had applied to him, to be pre sent at this meeting ; and Mr. Baxter, who was engaged for the opposition, had also applied.—Mr. Wm. RAWSON : Might not a middle course be taken ? I have never seen any thing in the public press of this kingdom, like the steps they have had recourse to against this undertaking; but I must say that I should like to hear if our opponents, or enemies, I will call them, have anything to communicate, to put us in possession of facts that we ought to hear. He might be admitted and allowed to state anything he had to say, but not to vote.—The CHAIRMAN: You have heard our law-clerk say it would be illegal to admit parties not Shareholders.—Mr. WHEELER: To vote. Mr. Itawson is not aware, I think, that the purpose of this meeting is merely to dissolve this Company. It is not intended to bind the Shareholders or any Shareholder, to any future course, by the proceedings of this meeting. Any Share holder will be at liberty either to prosecute the new under taking., or to take back his balance , whiebever he may please.—Mr. Reweoet said, if the ' Company were to be dissolved, he should not like to be hurried kith the dis sollitleto at Once. If after inquiry be was not in= dined to go on, he had not the least doubt that he and every Shareholddr wishing to retire might get out without kiting a farthing, i theterore, he thought it absolutely necessary, that the Shareholders should have a little time to consider valiethea suala a Mode might het be adopted of diesolaing the Company as Would got them oat without any loss whatever e _Mr. W HEELER said, the Shareholders would have time tp Consider as to their future enlist, ivhether they thatight ?a to the Ithderlatibg Or not; and when they had made up their minds, they would then be in the position of either be coming members of the nest cerapanye pt bf altegetheia ithd receiving back their balances.—Mr. AL aftecirr asked some question relative to the alteration in the line, which he did not clearly understand.—The CHAIRMAN thougatit would be more regular to read the Report —Mr. Alderman BisOuit; said; tiittt Mr; Asliworth; the agtnt rer the London and Birmingnam. mid also for the Midland Counties Lines, had a diErent interest to the Shareholders in this Company; an interest in cutting it down, and destroying it ; and that was the reason they had taken such trouble in going round to purchase shares, in order to destroy this line. It might be that our Directors had managed badly; but it was clearly the interest of those lines to do all they could to damage this, and there fore it was a fortunate circumstance that the law existed to prevent Scripholders from coming and voting at this meeting.—Mr. H. NKWBRRY said that Mr. llouldswortb, M. P., he presumed, had also applied for admission; but the Directors had dealt out equal justice to him and to others ; telling him that no Scripholder could attend this meeting for the reasons assigned.—Mr. WHEELER then read the following : " Report intended to be submitted to a Meeting of Shareholders this 11th day of Jankry, 1841. " The advertisement au'e'ielo convenes this meeting explains its object, • " It was formed in the year 1838, with the design of shorten be"....7e;ul to ri r l e ' ; : w su b eh rie o fl b y je t e h t e m pr a o y ee b e e d b in e g tt s er of u t n h d e er c s o too mp d, an i y t . w ill ang the communication with London, by the construction of a railway through the valley of the Trent—a district which is known to possess almost unequalled facilities for the purpose ; and your Directors, under the subscribers' agreement constitut ing the Company, are empowered, in their discretion, to select, en and fromtim in e ati t o o n timeof the vary,the course P y, The line, as oricinally laid down, joined the _ Birmingham Railway near Stone, in Staffordshire, Tamwortl and, i, through or near the towns of Rugeley, Lichfield, Rugby, upon the°oifnt theof commencement ra m ile m va ecommencement or of termination Athmttne, and Nuneaton, terminated at London and Birmingham Railway. There was. no provision, under the then arrangements, fur the transfer of traffic from the Grand Junction to the proposed line, nor was any junction be tween the lines in immediate contemplation ; and . hence the town of Liverpool, and the large population whose route to an,i from London is by way of Liverpool, may be said to have been practically excluded from the benefits of the new communication. " An application was made to Parliament in the Session of 1839 for the necessary powers to construct the railway: but the application did not result in the {sassing of an Act. The Parliamentary Committee, however, to whom the Bill was re ferred, encouraged the Company to renew their application, by appending to their report the very unusual, if not altogether unprecedented, recommendation that ' every facility of which the rules of the House would admit, should be afforded to the promoters in a future Session.' Assured by this recommenda tion, and by the unanimous sanction of the Shareholders, con veyed by resolutions of a meeting held in September, 1839, your Directors prepared for the Session of 1840, and perfected their arrangements for a second application. " Pending the Parliamentary preparations for that applica tion, the line of the Chester and Crewe Railway was purchased by the Grand Junction Company, who then sought, as the Shareholders are already aware, and accomplished, an arrange ment with this Company, under which it is provided, that the whole traffic between Liverpool and London, which comprises rut:eh of that from Ireland and Scotland, should traverse the Trent Line. " The railway which the Company had then in view, con templating only the traffic between Manchester and London, and between Manchester and the Eastern Counties of England, was (as has been explained) unadapted to the extended pros pects thus opened to it; and the Directors, therefore, deemed it advisable to postpone for a year their application to 'the Le gislature, in order that, in the interval, the railway might be so varied as to meet the Company's altered circumstances. But, before such postponement was determined upon, the Share holders were called together, and their opinion was requested on the subject. The Directors - further took occasion to submit for adoption or rejection, a proposition which had been made to them by the London and Birmingham Company, to the effect that the latter Company would pay to this Company 20,000/. if the project were abandoned, and a majority of your Directors would pledge themselves net-to be parties to its re newal- This proposition you unanimously rejected ; the pro ceedings of your Directors you as unanimously approved; and, acting under the sanction then obtained, plans were deposited, in pursuance of the standing orders of Parliament, as the basis of an application in the now ensuing session, for one of two lines—namely, a line from Stone to Rugby, with two branches— or a line from Stafford to Rugby, with one branch —both of ehich lines are calculated to form a junction with the Grand Junction Railway, and are therefore adapted to the Company's new arrangement s. " The choice of line was left open for future inqu'ry and agrcenient ; and the Directors have decided, after mature deli beration, to adopt, and apply to Parliament for its sanction to, the litter line. " The preparations connected with the deposits and notices are all completed ; and although, under the Subscrib,rs' agree ment already executed, the Directors deem themselves em powered to pursue the projected measure, yet, as it comprises deviations from the original line of same extent, they are un willing to proceed further in the exerc i se o f t h e powers so con ferred upon them, without giving any Proprietor, whose judg ment may differ from their own, an opportunity of recording such opinion by withdrawing from the Company. " The Directors, therefore, have now to suggest that for this purpose the Company originally constituted under the title of The Manchester and Birmingham Extension Company,' be formally dissolved, with a view to the organization of a sub stituted Company, to carry out the objects specified in this Report. It will, of course, follow, as part of this arrangement, that .he accounts of your Directors (who are the sole creditors of the Company, no portion of the deposits already paid having been expended or appropriated) should be andited, and the sum ascertained, to which, after contributing their quota to the expenses incurred, the several retiring Shareholders, if such there be, will be entitled." Mr. JAIN BRADSIIAW, before he moved the adoption of the Report, would make one or two observations. He had given the undertaking a great deal of attenti in, and was satisfied of the soundness of it ; and if he had wanted any thing to confirm that opinion, it would only be necessary for him to look to the great activity and the consideration its opponents had given to it, to satisfy him that this un dertaking was sound. He begged to move, that the Re port be received and printed for distribution, under the direction of the Provisional Directors.—Mr GASKELL, of Warrington, asked, if passing the Report pledged the Shareholders present to the dissolution:4 the Company. Mr. WHEELER : It does not. There is a subsequent re solution. The Company can only be dissolved by a for mal resolution.—Mr. CHADWICK seconded the motion.— Mr. RAWSON said it did not follow,because the Proprietors of other railways did not wish the Extension Line to go on, that it was a profitable undertaking. It might be in. jurious to other lines, and yet not a beneficial one to the Shareholders. He wished it to be understood, that no man had a hi g her opinion of the integrity and honour of the Directors of this Company than he had ; but he liked to know something about a concern in which he had a heavy stake. He did not know what this Rail way was to cost, and he would like to know about it be fore the Company either went on or dissolved ; and those gentlemen who pledged themselves to a dissolu tion without consideration, would of course lose part of then aseee e ....__M r . G. R. CHAPPELL said he hnd from the first held 200 shares in the undertaking, and had given it as much attention as any other gentleman in the Direc tory ; and if the Shareholders looked at the attendances of the Directors, though gratuitous, they would find them regulareancleeniforgehed neither added to nor dimi nished the number of sliiiTcre -- Origiiiiiity - shisittetreanct•-ife this Corpany were dissolved to-morrow, and any other gentleman would take it up, he would take 200 shares in' the new Company. He did not want Mr. Rawson to pin his faith on him ; but that was his own individual opinion, and the unhandsome conduct of their opponents would induce him to go on to the uttermost extent.—Mr. 11. NEWBERY thought Mr. Rawson's proposition a good one, with this difference, that a Committee might be appointed to consider ; and those who chose to go on might du so, after the opportunity of full inquiry, and then no gentle man would commit himself without knowing the facts of the case. But he thought Mr. Tootal was able to explain to the meeting the position in which the Company now stood, and give some insight into its affairs. It had been done before, but it could be bee again now.--Mr. RAWSON wished to say to the Share holders who, if the Company were dissolved this day, did not wish to join the new Company, they might get out by losing half their money. If they would not agree to dissolve without full inquiry, then they might expect, he would not say they might be fully certain, to get out without a farthing loss.—Mr. JAMES BURT thought before entering into discussions of this kind, they ought to, attend to the business of the day. They had, in the first place, to determine whether the Company should be dis solved or not; and then to express the sense of the meet ing about going on with the undertaking by a new Com pany. He did not think that procrastination was benefi cial ; but rather that the Shareholders ought to show their opponents, that they were unanimous in carrying on the new concern.—Mr. BRIGHT, of Rochdale, said, it would be well if the shareholders knew what the state of the funds was..—Mr. WRATISLAW, of Rugby, asked what the expense would be of the variation. Mr. EDWARD Tooree said—On the occasion of our last meeting, I went at some length into the cetimated cost of the concern. I can only reiterate the statements which I then made, having carefully looked at them, not only before I made them, but afterwards, and frequently since ; and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I need neither retract nor qualify one single remark which I then offered to the Shareholders. I have given myself considerable trouble to converse to some extent with the engineers of various railways; and I have put to them, in the course of the last year, hundreds of questions with a view to elicit the truth with respect to the probable cost of this line. From all the inquiries I have made, 1 see no reason to vary the opinion I then gave with respect to the cost of the line for which you have already applied to Parliament. Perhaps it would be just as well to allude to that cost again, and then to the probable additional cost of the varied line. The application you made to Pirliament in 1839 was most severely contested, as most gentlemen here are pretty well aware. Mr. Bidder was examined on behalf of this Company, and cross-examined, for about three days ; and his estimate impugned, as far as possible, In the evidence of Mr. Vignoles, Mr. Ristrick, and Mr. Locke. The estimate of oar own engineer for the construction of the line was 18.,554. per mile. Mr. Vignoles went over the same details as to land, earthwork, masonry, permanent way, arid edntingeacies, as Mr. Bidder; he (Mr. Vissaol e s) being then the engineer of the Midland Counties Railway, and of course having an interest, from his position, to go as ref as 114 could. I will just read you the different items, showing the vafiana between the estimate of Mr. Bidder and that of Mr. Vignoles. Land, estimated by eaeh at iti,CiOtii Earthwork, Mr. Bidder made, 282,368/. ; Mr. Vignola, 111 0,624/. Masonry, Mr. Bidder, 241,210/ ; Mr. Vignoles the same, Permanent Mr. Bidder, 375,2251. ; Mr. Vignolles the same. Cone tidgenelesi toe gatile by both. Mr. Vignoles made the cost of the line per mile 18,9901 ; being 4401. per riiile more titan Mr. Bidder's estimate. Next as to Mr. Locke, viiiiest“fhafater as all engineer stands very high, and who was particularly celebrated fof making the lines entrusted to his charge at a low rate of cost, whose ability I don't call in question ; for he is a very a t lile,4nd f believe eonecientious man. I have had consi derible Walt Mr Locke on this very i est i m atse I will give his estimate, and thou repeat a remark which he made to rue at an interview I had with him... A t • Locke is the engineer of the Grand Junction Rail w ay Company ; they were at that time oppoiedto_ d u t. pon as the puny, and Mr. Lucke's evidence was OUk most powerful against us, iriasniuch as his e Xperience was great, and his reputation high. His estimate for land was , 200,000/. being 30,000/. more than the otner estimates , for earthwork '20,0001. more than M r. Bidder; masonry the same as Mr. Bidder; permanent way the same; and - contingencies 4,0001. more. The result amounts to this —that the estimated cost of the line would then be 19,7004 per mile. It is fair to suppose that Mr. L s c k e did his utmost for his then emp l oyers; no doubt of it ; and he was perfectly right in so doing ; and I think it is perhaps the highe st com p liment to our e ngineer, and to his estimate for the Extension I ine, :hat the greatest difference in the paper estimates is tally about 1,200/. per mile. Mr. Locke added a considerable sum per mile on account of forty bridge s which w ill not be required. The private conversation I had with Mr. Locke. of course, I cannot repeat here ; but I may state this. I remarked to Mr. Locke, that I might probably be called upon to state to the Shareholders of tile Company what the probable cost of this line would be; and at length I said, " Mr. Locke, if I state to the Shareholders that the Extension Railway, including carriages, engities, wag gons, stations, sheets, cord age , ec , and coetingeneies, will be completed for a sum total of 25,000/ per mile, shall I be right? Because I have made up my mind never to state a leg! sum thau I eonscieatiously believe wilt really be required." I told him I might probably state it to the Shareholders at 24,0001. or 25,3001. His reply was, If you do that, Mr. Tootal, you will have the pleasing sa. tisfaetion, year after year, to state to your Sharehol ders, that you' are glad to find that the cost will ben less."—A SkeeenoLoee—Does that refer to the Stafford and Rugby Line ?--Mr. E. TOGTAL : To the &afford and Rugby Line—that varied line of the Company which is under discussion this day. Since then. I have had other opinions. I had a letter only the 'other dies, dated the 15th January, from an engineer whose eminence no one would call in question. I had asked him to be good enough to revise our estimate, as a personal friend • and he writes as follows :—" When the hue was in Patliament last time, and during the struggl! on the question of the estimates, I looked carefully into the items, and then satisfied myself that the estimate wai abundant. Indeed, it differs from ordinary estimates, i Tieing formed, not upon opinion or speculation, but epees the actual cost of :works of an exactly similar character, This class of estimation clearly renders the chan ce o f error the least possible ; and on the character of the work.; on the Midland Counties Railway, theca:tint:ate is as nearly certain as it is susceptible of being made. I make these few remarks for the purpose of redeeming a promise.'" This lies reference to the Stone and Rugby Lin. , ; and this differs from that only in the distance north of Rugeley. Faorn Rugby to Rugeley, a di*tatice miles, the lines arc the same ; the deKeetice ie that the former line passed to Rugeley by way of S one, whilst the present passes thither be way of Staffirci. There is a difference in the cost of th e works on tleeoc two portions of the line; but from tafferd to Rugelae the varied dis tance is Si miles, atad that 8} miles out of 561 is the only variation. The only portion of the line which Las not het et inquired into already before Parliament, and sifted to the very bottom, is this portion of 81 miles ; and the re , fore that is the only portion of the line upon which, any doubt can he tbrOWn. •••-[ A SHAREH 'I,DE asked: if the varied line would be longer or shorter? arei. Mr. TOO TAL was understood to say I' shorter." fi e them continued.] With respect to the new line, the Govern ment Commissioners have required from our engineers a detailed estimate of the cost, which is Low before tho Commissioners ; and therefore I am sure you Will think it right that it should n o t a t p resen t be meteput:e dom. ment, being in their possession for them to anabse• In the report on the Stained and Rugby line, which tell in 4 few weeks be made, the whole of these details will be fare niched; and the Government corrmissioliers trill, t ee doubt, direct attention to tb.e advantages hi length, as well as other qualities in the proposed lice. Dot I think it quite right to give the particulars of the estimates of this varied line, from one end !a the other, as sub-nittra to the Commissioners. They are .I—Earthwork, 251,00 1 /. ; nei sonry and tunnelling (there being r short tunnel required) 272 0001. ; permanent way, 340,0001 ; emtingencies, 8,700/. ; making a total of 080.0001., or 17,b001. per mile, to which is to be added cost of land and stations,. On the former occasion, Mr. Bidder and Mr. Vienoles precisely as to the land, and Mr. Locke added 30,000 t try their estimates; therefore, we may say, that the salts,' of the land has been pretty well sifted already. The amount' of costs fur stations on the line was put down at 40,W01. on the last occasion ; but I apprehend that it will be wider 39,0001., because the stations on the Stallard and Rugby line will be just like the ordinary stations on the Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham lines, the ordi nary roadside stations, the traffic nut being collected at them, bet at Manchester, Birmingham, or London; there fore the stations would be wholly of an economical nature. clan't:t!.iik that I need sae more with respect to theprobablo emit of this line. I think that no Shareholders ever before had the same opportunity of judging of the probable cost of their line before the Act of Parliament for it was ob tained.—(Applause.)—Dr. Laos : Allow me to ask whe ther the land between Stafford and Rugeley will not cost more than that from Stone to Rugeley•—Mr. I: ow ALI) TutereL: Sonic portion will, but some portion will not cost more than other portions of the line, on the esti mote given in for the land on a former occasion ; end that includes all the "ornamental property," which you have heard mentioned, that was upon the old line. If any gen tleman wishes to have further information with respect to the cost of the line, or anything else, I shall be li .1 - ivy to give it. Then, as to the cost of the permanent way,—but if we look to the SJush- Western Railway, their permanent way is taken at 5,500/ per mile—yours is put down at 6.0001. [A SiteeenoLoee: Weat is the cost of perm nent way on the Manchester and Birmingham Lii,e?] The Manchester and Birmingham, I believe, is 6.5001. ; but they had adopted longitudinal timbers on account of their viaducts Wes it occur to any gentleman to ask anv other qa!seion ?—A SHAREHOLDER, who had misunderstocii a former stetement, asked as to it, and Mr. Too rm. said that Ale last estimate given embraced the whole line —Mr. &tuns said that a printed pat cc had been distributed at the door of the Company's offices pretty freely [signed .‘ Thomas Lai.dor, agent to the Meiquis of All glescyl, which stated the names of ionic, lanueweere on the varied line. Had they any greater interest in of:puking it than the old line? Dal the old line cut through aey of this ornamental prnperty, which was So saved ?—Mr. TOOTAL I :rust you will boar with me. I ant sere, Shareholders will not intentionally pu , , such questions as would be likely to damage the undertaking. With respect: . to the Marquis of Anglesey, I have before me a document, when an application was made for this Bill last year, in which the name of the Noble. Marquis appears as the first assenting nobleman. The fact was, that the varied line would pa's through a farm of his, about four miles from Beaudesert, and he was now to les found amongst the dis sentients; but any gentleman who has been connected with railwa)s for some years will be aware, that the less thut is sem et.eeb don't wisli to say eny thing unpleasant to the Noble Marquis, or to any one ; but gentle men know that there hi.ve been opponents to railways be fore; but they don't always continue opponents. I may just say that the Marquis is not unfriendly to the rail way ; he has at all times been friendly to the under-- -taking; but his does not like its present route, as re gards its passing through this feral. It that an alteration might be made, whether without difficulty I don't know, but it is possibly ; and I repeat, that the Marquis is not unfriendly to the line, but only to this particular portion. His son is Member fer Lichfield ; this line is virally important to Lichfield ; and I have no doubt that Lord Alfred Paget might be induced to use it s influence with his father to withdraw his opposition, and thus let Lichfield have the benefit of the position in which be is placed.—Mr. WitaTiscaw said he had looked at the list of the other names advertised as dissentient landowners and occupiers ; and he would say, that it was a very dif ferent list of opponents from the former one —(Hear.) —A SHAREHOLDER—What advantages do you propose by substituting the new for the old line ? Mr. E. TOOTAL They are fully explained in the Report which has been read ; but the principal feature is, that, se far as has been shown, the new line will embrace the entire traffic from Liverpool, Chester, North Wales, Ireland, and Scotland ; while, on the last occasion, we did not take credit for a single shilling of this tragic.—( Hear, hear. y Mr. BRIE:HT: May the Shareholders be informed what agreements have been made with the various Railway Companies ? There is some agreement with the Grand Junction Company. Are they to hive any extra profit from this line ? There is a branch to this Birmingham and Derby Line, and there will, doubt less be some arrangement made there ; and I think there is one if not two more Companies with which this Company are to make some arrangements. Now, if tine., or four slices arc go out to obtain the consent of these Companies, it appears to me, that the money which the Shareholders arc sinking will be given to the public with out any return to themselves.—Mr. E. TOOTAL : We know nothing with respect to any contemplated wrrangt•metitt with any other Company ; and, as to this Company being connected with other railways by short lines, I thick we must reverse the position of Mr. Bright, and say, that in steal of their being suckers from the line, they arc feeders. We present the shot test hoe to the east, and-the line be comes a feeder,. and draws the whole traffic into it.—Mr- BRIGIIT : Bus don't you purchase some part from the other . Company ?—Mr. TOOTAL: Certainly not.— Mr. WHEELER: And the opposition of the Midland Counties Company is based on the very principle, that we give to the Birming ham and Derby Line an advantage which it does not row possess, and that we thus enable the Berming ham and Dzrbe Company to euToete with the Mid land Counties Company, by giving 'the former tae ad vantage of bringing their traffic upon Cer line, and so make the route much shorter than- it is at present.—Mr. RAWSON : If I understand Mr, Beig:.'t'g question, it is in substance—Have you not enabled. the Grand Junction Company to go over the Extensiors Line at a less rate than otherwise they could do according; to the Parliamentary rate?—Mr. Toorm. : No Company in the kingdom does, I believe, charge the Parliamentary rate. The Grand Junction Company run over the Liver pool and Manchester Line ; Many railway Companies n) to a great extent over other lines; but n om, of t here charge the Parliamentary rates.—Mr. JAMBS BURT: A nil . we run over the Grand Junction Line, too,—Mr. Jostitev. P. Ws:misers ; There seems to be a gre at Jett l f_woos conception about this line, and e_ to 01.11 Cr (; rn panies. I can only say that, if our lin e, or that a pk elied for in 1839, had been secured, end we were now relit:: for operation ; and if the Grand Junction Company weir , at this time to make an offer exactly similar to that which is contained in the arrangement to which reference nose been made, I;` 'as a P ro prietor of this Company, s h ou ld jump at it. [The CHAIRMAN and Mr. CIIAPPELL ex preesed their • concurrence with this statement.].A Suaattgot,vsn': But we don't read in the Report what. that arrangement is, and we are not told about it.— Mr. CHAPPSLL : Why put a sword into your enemy's hand to cut your own throat?—Mr. BRIGHT said he Ind atten d e d a meeting here twelve months ago, at whiebt he did not speak or take any part; but he was their excessively annoyed at what appeared to be the desire of t h e Directors to keep everything quiet. He did not want them to tell anything injurious to the Company ; but everything else lie was quite sure they ought to make known to the Shareholders. Mr. 11. Isiaweette begged to say, that et r e; the Directors were quite ready and willing to tell anything and everything that would not be likely to• injure the interests of the Shareholders generally ; but no man in his senses would expect them to tell many things which they could do, provided they bad obtained their Act, when they had so many opponents ag ainst them in so deadly an opposition, and ready to take a dvantage of every thing and anything that occurred. The Shareholders all. knew, that with the Committees and the Standing Orders of the I - louse of Commons, they could not make known many things which they should otherwise do, merely be cause of technical objections ; not, certainly, because of aeything of vital importance, bet simply because of these legal difficulties ; and he was sure, when the Share ieldera read the publications constantly appearing against the Company, they must be aware that it had the most active and determined opponents that any Company aver had, and that therefore it behoved them to be cautious; but if any gentleman,- a bona fide shareholder, wanted information, which the Directors could disclose without detriment to the interests of the Company generally, tiny would be most ready and willing to do so —(Applause.) He was sure there was not any thing that they wished to withhold from the Shareholders; but this was a very different thing from giviog information g enerally to the shareholders and the public, sad so tell. t,lO much k.:f your case, in order to let your opponents gtt the upper hand, , of Too . rat. ask!, that, the • A . t _ ~ ~~ a v i
