The Sun. — London, England, 1845-10-30 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1845. This proposition would meet this inequality, and - your stock being' rated at 14/. 16z., when the line is completed, by pay ing 11. 45., you will be reckoned at 20/. per share in the united, companies. Thus it is evident that your stock will advance while the London ands York line will be in a position to de rive great benefit. The company is better without this line. Our scheme is a little longer. It takes in Lincolnshire and Doncaster. It is, I repeat, a little lotig: than its competitor; but we must measure railways by time, and not by dis - ance. if you take the line between Grantham and London—and it is evident that we niu-4 dwell on the time which it will take to construct, as a matter of far greater importance—for it was a position which no sophistry ceuld subvert, that the line which took the least time to form must be the preferable line. The line we propose to construct has no tunnelling, with the exception of three-quarters of a mile. The London and York has long gauges of one in a hundred. If gentlemen will sit down calmly and consider the question, there can be no doubt, at least I entertain the hope that there will be no difference of opinion on the matter we 'fire now discussing. We must then perceive how deeply our interests are affected, when there has already been expended no less than 4,000,0001. of money, and this mighta, if matters were not wisely transacted, lead to a considerable further outlay in a most unfortunate speculation. I hope the London and York Company will feel that this is the wisest course, namely, to acquiesce in the view he had taken, and that nothing but ruin can result from the continuance of the contest in which unfortunately we have already been engaged. They will have another line from London to York, entirely divested of the difficulties that encumber the present line, and affording the advantages that were required, and which, they must be satisfied their own line did not offer. It will cause the remodelling of the whole of this scheme. According to my propositioe, considerable advan tages will be conferred on the people of Cambridge and Lincoln, and that is, that a million, instead of a million and a half, should be appropriated to that line, or, in other words, that they should have two shares in the new' creation for every three in the existing company. By this arrangement the proportion which the Eastern Counties' Railway would receive would be less, but in the course of time we shall get as faints proportion as any other company. Another benefit that will result from this will be, that we shall put our stock in a position that will render us unassailable, for we shall be enabled to obtain a com munication with thenorth of England. The public will thusbe considerably benefited. I have now brought before you the whole of the scheme which, as the organ of your Directory, it devolved upon me to submit to your consideration. In doing so we have been actuated by a desire to discharge, to the utmost, our duty, and to render ourselves, in the position which we occupy, as acceptable as possible to you and the public.—(Hear, hear,) No person could have witnessed the state in which railway property was placed, subject to all the unfortunate circumstances with which they were familiar, without the deepest anxiety. When they recollected the variety of schemes, the multitude of projects that were brought forward, in which figured the names of persons who hitherto bad never been associated with railways, all who were really honest in their speculations must be glad that a period had arrived when these rash undertakings had experienced a check. I, for one, am rejoiced to see this, . no matter whether it results from the agency of the press generally, from the admonitions of the Times, or from any cause whatever.—(Hear, hear.) No, gentlemen, I am surprised, deeply surprised, how people could subscribe to them. You see the names of Right Hon. Gentlemen and Aldermen—(Hear, and laughter)—lending their names to schemes with which they have no earthly connexion, and in which they can hare no personal interest. No, they have really no connexion with the district through which the line is intended to pass. Nor were they in fact known personally to any: of the local authorities, or to any of the landholders who may be supposed to have some immediate interest in the scheme—(Hear)—and yet you see their names blazing firth in advertisements relating to schemes running through various localities, and proposed for accommodating, forsooth, various interests, and various dis tricts, and sometimes half a dozen in one day.—(Hear, and a laugh.) No, gentlemen, I do not know what these gentlemen can be thinking of, for it can neither reflect honour on their names, nor credit on their judgments ; and I for one, Gentlemen, shall ever strenuously and stoutly de nounce the system as pernicious and unjust.—(Hear, hear.) I will never lend my name to a scheme, or schemes, which I have not fairly and legitimately inquired into, or which I believe will not eventually prove a public advantage and of public utility, and which will not in the end fairly and adequately benefit the shareholders, who may be disposed to embark their capital in promoting the the scheme or schemes.—(hear, hear.) I bold in the highest contempt all who lend their names to these fictitious projects ; for by lending their names to them they induced men of standing and respectability to apply for shares; and what is the result? Why, ruin follows. It is gambling in its worst possible shape. It may be that it can not affect the monetary system of this country, because the money is merely passing from one hand to another, but you must remember that it will ruin the little, and in all pro bability exalt the great. I say, therefore, those who are playing at this game of railway scheming ought to be cautious—the public ought to be cautious. It is perfectly marvellous the letters which I have received from all parts of the country allotting me shares, or applying for shares; but I make it an invariable practice of putting them one and all in the fire.—(Hear, hear.) And at the same time I am constantly and continually receiving applications, asking me to lend nay name to such undertakings as those I have just denounced. Yes, the number is perfectly astonishing to me even, and I sometimes say to some of them " You must think me mad to fancy I would lend you my name for such a purpose."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have now brought before you everything which appears to me likely to effect your interest, and having made these few observations, allow me again to repeat that your undertaking bids fair to become a sound railway property, and I am sure it will sooner or later become a sure and safe medium for in vestment.. And here let me remark, what a great advantage to the country it is that property of this description should exist, in which parties can with safety invest their money, and be content with receiving some three or four per cent. upon their capital.—(Applause.) Well, then, is it not of,national impor tance that such property should be protected by the Legislature from the hands of unjust and worthless invaders ?—(Cries of t " Hear, hear.") Be fore I sit down, give me leave to mention that I had the pleasure of going down your line, and I hope to have the pleasure of spending another day or two upon it. The result of this inspection justifies my stating, that on the com pletion of the change we are making, we shall be enabled to work the traffic as well as any line in England.—(Applause.) It only wants a little resolution to enable us to accomplish this. That resolution we are prepared to give, and I confidently hope you will ere a few days are passed, be enabled yourselves to perceive a change.— (Hear, hear.) I am fortunate inhaving obtained the aieistance and co-operation of such gentlemen as my friend Mr. Wadding ton, for it enables me more properly and more effectually to work the line ; and I am also under the greatest possible obliga tions to the whole of your Directors for the friendly and kind manner in which they have received the proposition which I have the honour now to submit to you. It has, I may add, their entire and cordial approbation. Gentlemen, the resolution having been read to you, it is now before the meeting; but before it is put,"l shall have great pleasure in answering any questions. or given any information which any shareholder may require, and be most happy to hear any ob servations which any gentleman may think proper to address to the meeting. The matter is now in your own hands. An Hopi. PROPRIETOR—WiII you allow me, Mr. Chair man, to ask what troportion of the new capital will be at the disposal of the Eastern Counties proprietory. The Own - stale—Certainly. 1,120,420/. 600,000/. is reserved for various purposes. 200,0007. will be at the disposal of the York and North Midland, 1,500,000/. of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and 944,244/e of the Northern and Eastern. I may as well mention that there are extensions of the Eastern Counties which will have to be brought before you at a future meeting. Mr. Sinew participated, he believed, in what must be the general and unanimous approbation of the meeting, of the large and liberal schemes which the Chairman hai laid before them. He was quite sure, whether they looked at the national importance of the schemes, or involving the public interest and convenience, or the benefit they were likely to confer upon the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway, that they must meet with general and universal support. The propositions which the Chairman had laid before the meeting were of so clear and distinct a character as hardly to require explanation ; but there was one question in connexion with them which he should be happy to have ennounced, and which he was certain the meeting would be glad to hear. It was with regard to the proportion of shares which would be distributed amongst the Eastern Counties Company. The Chairman had mentioned the number of share s the y were to have, su pp osin g the London and York Company did participate in the scheme. Now supposing they did not, which he hardly thought would be the case, what was the proportion they would be entitled to? The CHAIRMAN —Perhaps the simplest way to put it, will be to say 10s. for every 201. capital.—(Criea of " No, no," from three or four of the Directors.) Well, then, the capital of the Eastern Counties Company is 2,820,0001. ; you have 1,400,000/. to divide amongst 2,820,000/. In reply to several gentlemen, shareholders in the London and York Line, the CUAIRMAX remarked that this is a great and important question. You receive, he said, 201. stock by paying le 4s. If you get 20!. instead of 20/. shares, it will surely be better than taking new 20/. shares.—(Cheers.) The amended resolution says that so many shares shall be divided so and so. If the shareholders of the London and York are not satisfied they may revert to the old resolution which is that 420,000 shares be divided amongst them. The Bill cannot be in Parliament before February, and no money will required to be paid till January. D. W. HARVEY, Esq., rose in the body of the meeting, and said, that as he had on more than one occasion taken what might appear to many an inconvenient part against the old government, he seized this occasion to ex press his admiration of the new dynasty, and in the warmest terms to approve of the judicious manner in which the Chairman had formed the new Cabinet. That he would merely throw out one word as to the enor had wielded in harmonizing an prietors. Though you may not get 10 pee . cent. 0 a do chat which will realise your pamanient interut. ae nfro lin'i-m-u'ensle"'n'iarss,llea compound of materials which - had f a l w ays been to him an ob j ect of reverence. dividend, you may at l east secure. a fair return for the ($e would. just call the law coalition the government of all inveltmeatp you 1114 Y 4 made.—(Crier of ° Heart hear. ) the talents. Now, as to what our case might have been—we were at an advanced stage of the dis ease—far gone in a decline. At the eleventh hour we coiled is a skilful, a judicious physician; on examining the patient he had found him chargeable with wide and 10 , ,5e habits, awl that to these was tc he traced the foundation of the disease, but that the medical gme tleman is convinced the patient may yet recover himself. He must describe to them the position of their Chairman. He stands with a flag of peace in the one hand and a bag of wealth in the other. He is prepared, judiciously prepared, bef ,re entering into the contest fur fighting over again the war of the [louse of York. He has seen the ground, and is con vinced, before entering on it, that it will yield him a certain advantage. Such harmony has he now procured, that we have one common object, a common stock, and a common interest. It matters little what shares be given, because, if we receive no advance, wei have an enormvus return of wealth. Now, along the North-Eastern Company's Grand Trunk line the whole traffic will pass. If he might say any thing in his position, their own Directors have not been forgetful of their interests, and their position will be better in the House of Commons. If the London and York agree, then there will be a division of 4,000,000'. in shares. 'The Cambridge and Lincoln Company are interested in this consideration. He might possibly have proceeded to show how their own Directors had appreciated their own interest, and understood when the occasion made for them selves.—(The Chairman remarked here, that they had not known anything of the scheme, till it bad been developed by himself at the Board.) Mr. Harvey proceeded to say that that only confirmed what he said that when anything good was laid before them they were too wise' to refuse. (Mr. Hudson here said they had at first objected to the scheme.) Mr. Harvey proceeded to congratulate the directors and the meeting on the very favourable position in which they were now likely to be placed. stroyed, but that the water way should be preserved, and a railway , also made. Mr. Walker's ideas on this subject will be beet under stood by the following extract from his report, vie. :—' In saying that the width of your property is sufficient for two lines of rail. way, I have not had reference to the continuing of the canal nevi. gation ; but I ought to add, that if it be thought on the whole ex pedient to continue the navigation, you have, by rough walling the sides of the canal, sufficient width generally for two lines of broad . gati,e, and a better canal than the `present. inasmuch as there is less friCtion in a *ailed Canal than with sloping sides. I cannot help considering that your coming before the public with the canal and railway is very important, both in ob viating ebjectious that may he made to the conversion of your canal into a railway by other canal companies, or by canal carriers, or by the owners of warehouses and other property, and by being practically useful afterwards; for canals may not always remain at their present discount, and there must be a reluctance at resolving to destroy the substantial locks, aqueducts, and other works, which within forty years have cost a million of money.' " Tte Select Sub-Committee have carefully considered the rea. sons given by the consulting engineer, and have, after much consi deration, unanimously come to the decision of recommending yet to adopt his suggestions as to the preservation of the canal, the ex pease of which, Mr. Walker assures us, will not exceed the sum of 600,0001., authorised to be raised by the former meeting of Pro prietors. " Your Committee have ascertained that, without any very large additional expense, the curves and gradients incident to pursuing strictly the line of the canal may be improved, and have instructed the engineer so to amend the line that the sharpest curve shall not be less than thirty chains, nor the steepest gradient more than one in eighty, whilst the distance between the termini will be also shortened. " The Select Sub-Committee beg further to report, that through. out the line the undertaking has been well received, and that at a very large meeting of the inhabitants of Devises, held on the flth instant, a resolution was passed to the eff..ct, that the project of this company would be highly beneficial to that important town. " Your 3elect Sub-Committee beg further to state that they have had propositions from several new companies for an amalgamation of iaterests, or for the conditional purchase of the canal, but it has not appeared to your Committee desirable to make such arrange ments. " Your Committee deem it right to mention that,'as precautionary measures, instructions have been given for the surveys of lines of railway far eastern mid western extension. " Your Committee have the pleasure to inform you that the sur. veys are in such a satisfactory state of forwardness, and such an amount of deposits, already in the hands of the bankers, as will en. able your Committee to comply with the standing orders of Puna. went. He had formerly been a grumbler, but he had now great pleasure in tendering his cordial allegiance to the new autho rity.— (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN announced that there was no other busi ness before the meeting, but he would make an observation in reference to something which had fallen from Mr. Har vey, on the subject of the Northern and Eastern shares. Now, he thought it was a most unfortunate thing that they should know anything about Northern and Eastern. He wanted to see the Companies one, and with one Directory.— ( Cheers.) He hoped he should never more hear of Northern andt Eastern interests as distinct from those of the Company generally. They were an uniteeticompany • The effect of the proposed arrangement would be to make them part and parcel of the Eastern Counties' Company.— (Cheers) There would be no more division of interests. He would state, that when he first made his proposition, they had strongly contested the principles he had laid down, but, for the sake of peace, and to promote the general interests of the Company, they had given their consent to his scheme. — [Here Mr. Ward, M.P , made some communication to the lion. Chairman, who, after a pause of a few seconds, conti nued ]—His Hon. Friend, Mr. Ward, had reminded him that the Northern and Eastern had 5 per cent. guaranteed to them. He was quite aware of that ; but whenever they paid more the Northern and Eastern would participate with them as a matter of course ; and so sure was he that they would pay more, that he did not look upon this guarantee of 5 per cent. as a matter of any great consequence.— (Cheers.) He was sure they would pay a great deal more than that.—(Cheers,) Mr. Scorr said, that as he had taken a prominent and active part in those proceedings of the Corn pany which had led to the invitation to Mr. Hudson, he felt le lund now to call upon them to express their thanks to that gehtleman.—(Cheers.) Nothing could have given them greater satisfaction than to see the chair occupied as it bad been that day.—.(Cheers.) When times were dark with them and they had little peospect of benefiting them selves, they had appealed to Mr. Hudson, and he had satisfactorily responded to their call, and nothing had afforded the Company so much satisfaction as to see their prospects represented and their interests protected by Mr. Hudson. — (Loud chcers.) He was the pilot under whose guidance they were to weather the storm. He -it was who opened to them a brilliant prospect for the future by his manner of reconciling conflicting interests under his able manage ment, and they would be enabled to pay a satisfactory divi dend, and to emerge from their difficulties.—(Cheers). The best guarantee they could have for this was, the expe rience which they bad had of Mr. Hudson's success on other railways. (Cheers.) He was certain that Mr. Hudson would do all that man could do. They could desire no man to do more; and he was sure they would receive no less —(Cheers.) The railway public had reposed the most unbounded confidence in M. Hudson, and that confidence had never been disappointed. When Mr. Hud son had been first asked to join the Eastern Counties' Company, he had declined, but when he saw the requisi tion of the shareholders, and was aware of the num ber of names attached to it, and of the large amount of property represented by those names, he at once responded to the appeal, and in doing so he had agreed to forego every personal consideration.—(Lond cheers.) For this they ought to thank him.—(Cries of "We do thank him.") He would not detain them longer, but would at once move that the thanks of the meeting be presented to George Hudson, Esq., M.P., their chairman.—(Cheers.) Mr. RUFF seconded the motion. The Shareholders ought to feel grateful for the readiness with which Mr. Hudson had undertaken the arduous duty imposed upon him. For dmself he could only say that he was highly gratified at he result. _ " Your Committee cannot conclude this report without congratu lating the proprietors on the position of their undertaking." Resolutions were then moved and carried for the adoption of the recommendations of the report, and themeeting broke up. Mr. CROSBT put the resolution, which was carried amid enthusiastic cheering. A gentleman in the gallery rose to move an amendment, but was put down by the cries of "too late," &c., from all parts of the room. Mr. HUDSON then rose, amid renewed cheering, and said— Gentlemen, I am sorry that I am so unworthy of the kind expressions used towards me by Mr. Scott, and so feelingly responded to by the unanimous voice of the meet ing.—(Great cheering.) I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the compliment you have paid me. It is quite true that when _first re quested to act with this Company, I did hesitate, for I felt that I was about to undertake an important task; and I knew that my time was very limited already, that I wag nearly overwhelmed with busi ness ; but then I felt, also, that I had no right, after the expression of your wishes delivered to me through Mr. Scott and his colleagues, to hesitate any longer. I felt that I had no right to consult my own ease, when the inter ests of so many persons were at stake, and when they thought that I could render them assistance.—(Cheers.) We may now flatter ourselves that we are going on emootly , but it is necessary that we all exert ourselves in carrying out this great measure ; and if we are successful, as w e ought to be, for by this time the delirium that was at first felt by some of the Lq;islature is nearly exploded, and I have no doubt that we shall re ceive full justice from that portion of the Legislature, which induced a certain Noble Lord to say, " Thank God that we have a House of Peers."—(Laughter.) I say I have no doubt that we shall carry our Bill, and that by the House of Lords the London and York will be rejected.—(Cbeers.) It has been said by some Hon. Members, and the principle has in a few cases been acted upon, that it is no matter whether a line of railway pays its promoters or not, if it is required by the district which it is intended to benefit. I say that this is a fallacy; there can exist no doubt that it would be a great national evil to have a line existing which would not benefit its shareholders. I have already said that there was no fixed principle to guide the Parliamen tary Committees in the last se, , sion, so that this opinion was acted on in some cases, but we are progressing I hope towards improvement.—(Cheers.) But if they still act on the same principle, then I say let them give us our Bill and wi:l soon make it a productive one.—(Great cheering. I again thank you, and I hope that we may meet again with the same feelings of unani mity, and it shall be my study, as it is my duty, on all occasions to look after your interests, as by so doing I am also forwarding the public good. Mr. Hudson sat down amid oud cheering, The meeting then separated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH DIRECT (KENNET AND AVON COMPANY). Swint:on, TURSDLY.—A meeting of the proprietors of the Rennet and Avon Canal Company and projected London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, took place this afternoon, at the Queen's Hotel, Swindon station of the Great Western Railway, pursuant I. requisition, for the purpose of receiving, considering, and deter mining the course to be taken with regard to a report intended to be laid before them as to the propriety of adopting the suggestibn of Mr. Walker, the engineer, to construct the proposed London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, so _as to maintain the naviga tion, and to take such steps with regard to the present position of the undertaking as should seem desirable. T. R. WARD, Esq., in the absence of Admiral Dundas, M.P,. the Chairman of the Company, was called on to preside. He said the subject they bad met to consider was one of the greatest interest to the western counties, and he sincerely regretted the absence of their excellent Chairman, Admiral Dundas, who was compelled to leave England for the Continent, owing to the serious illness of Mrs. Dundas. The purposes for which they had assembled were to consider the report of a committee on the suggestion of Mr. Walker, the engineer, with reference to the construction cf the London. Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway, and at the same time to preserve the navigation of the Kennet and Avon Canal. As the report contained the principal topics which would have to be discussed, it would be unnecessary for him to offer any comments upon the subject. Mr. Mgaatuan then read the following report : " The Select Sub-Committee appointed by the Committee of Ma. nagement of the affairs and business of the Company of Proprie tors of the Rennet and Avon Canal Navigation, at the meeting at Marlborough, on the 15th of July last, beg to report to the pro proprietors at large—. " That since the special meeting of the proprietors, which was held at Reading, on the 26th of August last, your Committee have been snaking arrangements to apply to Parliament in the en suing session for powers to carry into effect the instructions of that meeting. With this view, the Committee have offered to the pro prietors of shares in the Kennet and Avon Canal two new shares of 151. each in respect of every old share, and the Committee have the gratification of stating that this option has in almost all cases been accepted. Your Committee have also by the issue of such shares as were declined by the proprietary, and by means of the small number which remained at the disposal of your Committee, after allowing two shares for each one uld Kennet and Avon share, raised a capital sufficient for the pus poses contemplated. " Your Committee beg further to report that Mr. James Walker, the consulting engineer of the Company, has made a report, in which he recommends that the line of the canal should not be do.

A special general meeting of the Shareholders of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, was held this day at one o'clock, at the London Tavern, Bislaopsgate-street, G. Hudson, Esq , M.P., iii the chair. As this was the first meeting of the Company since Mr. Hudson has j fined the Directory, and as it was also Mr. Hudson's first public appearance in London, great curiosity was excited, and long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings the large room in the London Tavern was crowded in every part. Precisely at ore o'clock the Chairman, accompanied by the officers of the Company, entered the room, and was re ceived with the most vociferous cheering. On taking the chair, be called upon the Secretary to read the advertise ment calling the meeting, which having been done, The CHAIRMAN said, that on this the first occa sion of his presenting himself before them, •he would commence by offering them his grateful thanks for the confidence which they had been pleased to repose in him by presenting to him a requieition, signed by a large number of shareholders, requesting him to join their Corn- Pally.—(Cheers.) He begged leave also to thank his col leagues, by wham he was surrounded, for the kind and hand some manner in which they had received him— (Cheers)—aed he felt it his duty to do them this justice, to assure the Proprietors that he was convinced that their only anxiety was to develop the resources of the line so as to add to the dividends of the shareholders.—(Loud cheers.) He was now sufficiently acquainted with the position of the Company to be able to assure them that there was no line in the kingdom which before long would yield a better dividend than the Eastern Counties' Railway.—(Loud cheers.) They only bad to exercise proper energe and exertion, by giving to the public those proper conveniences and facilities which every railway company ought to give—(Loud cheers) —and traffic would flock to the live in such a manner, as to prove that it would be one of the best railway investments in the coun try —(Cheers.) He would say for himself, and for those gentlemen who acted with him, that no exertions should be wanting on their part to give the public all those con veniences to which they were justly entitled, and all those facilities which they had every right to expect from railway companies in return for those great privileges which had been granted to then' by Parliament, and by doing this they would be not only supplying the wants of the Public, but be benefiting the, Sharehoders likewise.—(Cheers.) They bad assembled there to-day thus early for the purpose of having an opportunity of developing their plans for the extension of the line to York, and he hoped before he left that his plans would be honoured with their approba tion, that he should lay before the public such a scheme as they ought to adopt, and at the same time offer such terms to the London and York Company as would induce them to join in the plan.—(Cheers.) He was sure no person would wish to see money expended in public works without it yieldirg a return, and he was satisfied, after care ful reflection, that if the London and 'fork were constructed to-morrow, it would be a most severe infliction on the share holders ; and if they would accept the terms which he would that day offer to them (and lie hoped the shareholders would take it up if the directors did not)—if they would do that, so as to enable them to go to Parliament as a united body, they would obtain the means of submitting to Parliament the best and easiest means of opening a communication be tween London and York. He would first have the resolutions read which he was about to submit; after this he would offer some observations on the subject, and after that en deavour to explain his scheme for uniting with the London and York for the construction of the best line between Cam bridge and York. He called upon Mr. Duncan to read the resolution. Mr. DUNCAN then read the resolution, which was to the effect that application should be made to Parliament to au thorise the Eastern Counties' Company to make an extension line front Lincoln to York, and also from Tottenham to Far ringdon street, with such branches as might be necessary e that the capital should •be 4,500,0001, to be called Eastern ,Counties York Extension shares, to be raised in shares of 201. each, a deposit of 21. each to be paid on the 10th of January; such capital to be apportioned in the proportion of 944,240 shares to the Northern and Eastern Company, 1,500,000 to the Cam • . bridge 'and Lincoln, 200,000 to the York and North Mid land, 1,120,420 to the Eastern Counties' Company, and the remainder to the landowners, and capitalists, andothers along the line, reserving to the directors authority to make any alterations, or to enter into such arrangements as they may deem expedient. Mr. HUDSON again rose and said—Now, Gentlemen, if you will allow me, I will make some few observations upon the reesolution which has just been read to you by Mr. Duncan,and first, with respect to the Northern and Eastern Counties' Rail way Company. It was quite clear that we could not go to Parliament with the extension of this scheme with such an agreement as had formerly existed with the rival company. I therefore submitted the plan which is now contained in this resolution to the Directors of that Company, and they in the most handsome manner recommended its adoption to the shareholders on the terms now proposed. They are to receive two 201. shares for each 501. share in the Northern and Eastern. These gentlemen have been waiting fur some time to come into this nice snug third, and they have never yet been able to obtain it. It was stated that the Eastern Counties gentlemen bad been receiving, by the issue of new share.% a large premium on the original stock. That being the case, it was necessary to give some compen sation for the abandonment of that agreement. It was most important that that agreement should be abrogated, because you may remember that it was one of the greatest objections last session, that this tract of country was not under one mangement. But we can go to Parliament with the Northern and Eastern as an entire and uncontrolled scheme from London to York. That is the reason why I wished to conclude terms with the London and York, and I must say that I was met in the most handsome and liberal spirit by those gentlemen. — (Cheers.) It was in contemplation by the York and North Midland Company to make a line from Doncaster to Lincoln at a valuation of about 200,000/. We gave that up to you, but still we have a right to claim in. return the amount of stock. There was another Company that we thought had some claim upon us—l refer to the Midland Counties; but on further examination we find that they have no claim, as we do not engross any part of their line.—(Cheers.) To this measure I think Parliament, after a careful and unprejudiced consi deration, cannot object. lam aware that the London and York have got a step in advance of us, but we all know that the Committee which decided in the House was a divided one, and the value of their opinion may be estimated when we hear the reason assigned by one gentleman in his place in the House of Commons for his vote was, that one indivi dual was in possession of 600 miles of country.—(Great laughter). Was this a proper reason for any man to assign? If there ever was a futile reason this was one. I hope to see some sound principle laid down by the Legislature for the guidance of members of Committees. When we consider that they are to adjudge upon millions of property, millions invested at great hazard, property which contributes to the good of. the country, as well as of the individual shareholder—is it right, I say, that this property is to be trifled with and wasted because one individual is entrusted by others with the management of so many miles of railway. But Gentlemen, what does the country get by the passing of this measure? It involves only an outlay of four millions of money, and gives larger accommodation than the London and York. By the passing of our Bill, however, you protect four millions and a half already expended, and you save the expenditure of six mil lions, besides hundreds of persons from ruin, who might be silly enough to invest their capital in the London and York. They would thus secure all that was valuable in the district; between York and London. It will secure the traffic north and south of a most important town, Cambridge. On the other hand the London and York line passes through many little towns. I will not call them little towns, but they are, at all events, towns that are already well supplied with inde pendent branch lines. The traffic of such towns as Newark, which the Londoa and York proposed to accommodate, is very small, north and south. This traffic is with the west, which are the great consuming districts. I have now explained my views on that part of the resolution just read, relating to this branch of our present meeting. Never theless, though such a proposition may be considered an ar rangement as should not be agreed to by an old established company like the Eastern Counties, yet it is one which, in my opinion, will best serve your interests, and secure to you future advantages. It is a proposition that should be taken up by you with the best spirit. It is one which I commend to the adoption of the Directors of the London and York Railway Company. It was received in evidence that that line will require at least 8i millions for its construc tion—(Hear, hear)—and taking the present price of 'work and material, I am quite sure it will require at least IA mil lions. The Directors have had their Subscription Deed signed for five millions, which was only equal to half the completion of the line. What I propose is, that the 501. shares shall be reduced to 201. shares, and the shareholders be allowed to come and take 20/. shares in the extension. If the Directors are so pledged to press forward their scheme, then your next course is to look to the shareholders themselves—(Hear, hear)—to those who have embarked capital without the least chance of its realis ing them any benefit. Offer to them the olive branch—the boon—and leave them to • act for themselves. As far as the Directors are concerned, it may not be so easy to arrange with them, as some one of them may be desirous they should take the line through Bedford, while another may want them to go by Doncaster. Let the shareholders of the London and York ponder well over the arrangement I propose, and not attempt to carry out an un dertaking which was not backed with with a single esta blished line in the kingdom, and the directory of which did not contain a single gentleman of experience in railway affairs. I would not have proposed those terms did I not think it would be for your benefit as shareholders, and also for that of the country at large. You must take the proposition on the broad principle, and though you are shareholders of an old established line, you must consider that on the alliance and terms proposed you will be sure to get as much dividend the circu ms tances of the ttlitry will allow.—(Hcar, hear.) - • _ce thn rams; ion you :r9.1 an rtirtt Übttion OPENING OF THE PORTS.

This monument to future generations, of the munificence, spirit, and taste of the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn, of the nineteenth century, was opened to-day by her Majesty, her Royal Consort, and some of the first nobility in the country, with great form and ceremony. As we have not hitherto given any account of this mag nificent building, alike creditable to the taste of the benchers and the architect, it may be as well that we should do so before giving that of its opening byour Gracious Queen. Within two years and a half the whole pile of buildings, more elaborate in design and superior in execution than any of the Halls of the other Inns of Court, has been not only raised from the ground, but decorated and furnished com pletely. The whole building extends upwards of 230 feet from north to south, in a direct line, but not in a uniform range, it being, conformably with the arrangement of the in terior, broken up externally into three principal masses, whereby considerable play of outline and a pleasing diversity of composition are obtained, that carry with them a charm of their own, which frequently impresses more forcibly than mere beauty. The three main divisions consist of the hall at the south end; the library at the north, which is placed trans versely to the rest of the plan, its length being in the direc tion of east and west, while the intermediate portion com prises the council-room on its east side, the drawing-room on its west ; with a vestibule of general communication between them opening at one end into the great hall, and at the oppo site one into the library, so that from the latter room a long and varied vista may be obtained, terminating in the great south window of the ball. Although these apartments, cons• i tuting the whole of the upper part of the structure, are over the floor level with the terrace; the approach and ascent to them is on the outside, yet not entirely, as there is an inner flight of steps besides those leading up from the terrace. There is, indeed, an entrance also to the lower floor, but it is intended as quite a secondary and private one, except that it communi cates directly with what is called the benchers' room, with a richly ornamented .ceiling. The common entrance to the hall is at the south or lower end of it, through the oak screen beneath the gallery. And even before it is entered, or if access into it cannot be obtained at all, a clear view of it may be enjoyed through the screen itself, the latter consisting of open compartments, each of which is tilled in with a single sheet of plate-glass. Whether it be entered from this, or the upper end, upon the dais, the coup d'ceil is splendid. This banquetting room is a truly noble and worthy specimen of the magnificent class to which it belongs—we might safely pronounce it the most magnificent specimen of that class of modern date, for if it falls on of them, and earlier ones, in some particulars, it surpasses them in others, andis of more uniform excellence throughout. Its dimensions are 120 feet by . 45, increased at the north end to 60 by the two spacious oriels at the extremeties of the dais, which cause that part of the hall to become a kind of transept. A fine open roof of oak, somewhat similar in design to the celebrated one of Westminster Hall, produces a powerful degree of character as well as magnificence. Its windows, which are filled in with a profusion of . p a inted glass in their upper half , exhibit in g armorial bearings and a variety of devices, give the new hall an air of finished grandeur and richness which cause it to eclipse nearly all other structures of the kind. After the ball itself the library is the most important part of the interior, both for its size and its architectural character. It is 80 feet in length by 40 feet in width, and 48 feet high ; and terminates at each end in a lofty, spacious, and deeply recessed oriel, whose window forms three sides of an octagon, while the other two sides, or embrasure in the thickness of the walls, are richly adorned with shafts, panels, mouldings, and other architectural details. The same, or even an in creased degree of decoration is bestowed upon the ceilings, which are framed in by an arch, forming the head of the ge neral recess. The windows themselves are of unusually rich de sign for their kind, their heads being filled with tracery ; and the mode here adopted for the glazing generally is singularly tasteful and happy in effect. Instead of being of the usual lozenge form, the quarrels c.insist of small circles, or patens of moulded glass and their interstices, whereby the appearance becomes that of delicate network; and, diapering also, the light is in some degree refracted, in consequence of the surface of the glass being embossed. Besides these two beautiful windows, there are three others on the north side, in the gallery over the bookcases, which are not only against the walls, but are made in the lower part of the room to form seven recesses. We must not pass over the vestibule between the hall and library, for it is a very interest ing, piquant, and scenic bit, the centre o f it formin g an octagon with open arches, carried up as a directory or spacious lantern, with windows on its sides, partially tilled in with painted glass. The adjoining rooms right and left, the council and drawing-room, are, though rather plain, in excellent taste, without anything to strike in description, yet with much to captivate by effect. One thing, however, there is fur notice in them, which is, that their ribbed ceilings are of painted deal, which would hardly be supposed by those who have never before seen any . specimen! of that wood when brought to perfection, by being slightly stained and polished, whereby it acquires a depth of tone and a lustre rivalling those of the most expensive woods. ; The preparations for the reception of her Majesty and her Royal Consort, and the distinguished guests expected to grace the inauguration of this splendid building, have been going on for some time past, and were not concluded till late last night. Although it had been announced that her Majesty was not expected to arrive before half-past one or two o'clock, long before that hour every part of the Inn from which a glimpse of her Majesty could be obtained was occupied. Her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort, escorted by a de tachment of Life Guards, arrived at the hall soon after one, and were received at the south entrance by the Treasurer, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, and most of the benchers of the Inn, who attended her Majesty through the centre of the hall into the ve stibule. Her Majesty, who looked extremely well, was dressed in a blue bonnet with blue feathers, a rich Indian shawl of scarlet and gold, and a white lace dress. Her Majesty was accompanied through the hall by her Royal Consort, who wore a field-marshal's uniform, by some of her ladies in waiting, and by several of the Officers of the Household. Sometime previous to the arrival of her Majesty, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who appeared in excellent health, the Lord Chancellor, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Aderdeen, the Duke of Richmond, the Speaker of' the House of Commons, Lords Cottenham and Campbell, the Vice-Chancellor of England, and Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce, and Wigram, ,entered the hall, which was at this time filled almost to suffocation by barristers and students, who cheered her Majesty and her Royal Consort most enthusiastically as they proceeded up the hall.' The Queen and the Ladies in attendance upon her having retired to the Council-room, the Treasurer, the Duke of Wel lington, and the other personages of distinction remained in the next drawing-room until her Majesty left her retiring room, when the Treasurer conducted her and his R ,yal Highness Prince Albert to the library, accompanied by the visitors and benchers. The Queen being seated on the chair of State with hie Royal Highness Pi ince Albert on her left band, the Treasurer, accompanied by the benchers and the deputation of barristers and students, read the address from the soccer and pressrnted the same to her Majesty on his knee; ft wh cwe as understood, her Majesty conferred on him the honour of knighthood. The ancient book, recording the names of the illustrious visitors in the time of his Majesty King Charles the Second, was then placed on a table in the Library, for the inspection of her Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Albert, both of whom, as we understand, inscribed their names in it. The Treasurer then conducted the Queen again through the vestibule to the centre of the table at the north end of the hall, and placed her Majesty under the canopy of s tate, with Prince Albert on her right band. During this ceremony the barristers and students remained standing in the hall. Grace having been said, her Majesty comtnanded all present to j i be seated. Her Majesty, during the dejeuser, wore her bonnet, and repeatedly laughed and chatted with the Treasurer and the Prince, the latter of whom was seated on her Majesty's right, and the former on her left hand. After the conclusion of the , clejeuntr, the Treasnrer, by the permission of her Majesty, proposed the Queen's health, which was drank amid the loudest plaudits. Then followed that of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales. The hearty manner with which her Majesty joined in these two latter toasts produced the most e nthusiastic cheering. These were the only toasts that were drunk ; and, shortly after 3 o'clock, her Majesty, accompanied as on her entrance, retired from the hall, amid great cheering. The gallery of the hall was densely crowded with ladies. Her 11Iajesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert seemed highly delighted with the entertainments of the day.. We feel sorry that we are only enabled to give our readers so meagre an account of so important a cere mony, but the wretched accommodation given to the gentlemen connected with the press prevents us from giving a more detailed account. While we confess that no parsimonious spirit has been displayed by the benchers in the erection of this magnificent building, or in the reception of her Majesty, we cannot but lament that they should have thought it worthy of themselves and consistent with the dignity of the Society that they represent; to treat with indifference, if not with insult, a profession, the members of which have hitherto been con sidered as fit as themselves to sit at table with Princes, and whom it remained fur the Benchers of Lincoln's - Inn to en s deavour to associate with menials and waiters.
