EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0 0/. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are -Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the e'ements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so gretti, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total anneal losses of the different Established Cofnnanies have no: been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is or the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that arch an anomaly should ecase, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To sect 7e this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The trre rate of Preatiam for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted t n, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a carefu' combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be propertioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to ti. e, adop., such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may jastify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

Genuine only with Du B arry's signature. and CO., The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro• prietors of the Eastern Counties Railway was held yestferday at the London Tavern; Mr. Glynn, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. The meeting was not quite so numerous as we have seen, it on former occa sions, but ,it was • nevertheless somewhat noisy and uproarious. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, Mr. HELPS complained that a vacancy had been filled up in the board without the previous consent of the shareholders, which was contrary to the spirit of an agreement come to at a previous meeting. He alluded, he said, to the appointment of Mr. Anderson, whose election as a director the proprietors had already once pronounced against,—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ANDERSON, after some irregular discussion had been suffered to go on, explained that daring a period of intense anxiety in the affairs of the company he took the chair at three or four of the meetings, and on those oc casions he received not Only the utmost courtesy at the hands of the shareholders, but what was far more dear to him, namely, their unanimous vote of thanks.—(Hear, hear.) He had been requested to take the chair he now filled at the instance of the directors, it was true, but in accepting that honour his only motive was to advance the interest of the concern, .and therefore if his appoint ment was distastetul to the proprietors, he was quite ready to place his resignation in their hands.—(Hear.) Mr. PAULING understood that another new director had been appointed, or was about to be elected to the seat vacated by Mr. Betts, and he should be glad- to know if that was to be made without an appeal to the s h are holder s ?—( Hear, hear.) - The Chau/max said the directors had . the power of appointment, but the same power also rested with the shareholders, and if the meeting so thought fit they might exercise it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. j3ox, asked if it was true - that as agreement bad been come to of the nature specified by the two preced ing honOurable proprietors. Mr. RONEY (the Secretary) was understood to reply that ho bad, some slight recollection of such an arrange ment having been tacitly come to, but he only !poke from memory.—(Hear.) After some further discussion of a similar irrelevant nature, the common seal was affixed to the register of the shareholders, on the motion of the Chairman; and the report of the directors, which has already appeared in The Sun, having been read. The CHAIRMAN proceeded to address the meeting, claiming for himself and all others who were desirous of addressing it. a fair and impartial hearing, as the business to be transacted was of an urgent and important cha racter.—(Hear, 'hear.) The directors had nothing to , conceal, they were co-partners with the shareholders, and in no' degree anxious to keep back anything.— , (Hear, hear.) All the information they were in pos i session of was at the service of the meeting, and he therefore hoped there would be as little interruption as 1, possible.—(Hear, hear.) The report began with taking a rather gloomy view of their affairs. The Great , Northern was opened to Peterborough, and took nearly the whole of their Peterborough traffic, as the Great Northern line was some six or seven and twenty miles shorter than the Eastern Counties. He did not wish to complain of the directors of the Great Northern for charging lower fares than they, because he believed they charged as much as their Parliamentary powers would o all e n nd hear.)wetherrom--(HReeayr,etonto ito T H hen h . in ar o again, when the fr theli o n m e p Hitchin to Royst on , th ere wou ld be another route tNhoerwiEchastterranffic Union n y to Cambridge, while the opening of the Eastern ;Union Union route line fromcom Company the ref o re had was ta s k h e o n rte a r la th rg an e plretti.ron own,of their and s s ince t h e Eastern charged l accordinglto a very low tariff scale.—(Hear, hear.) They had, however, under all circumstances, thought it better to come to an understanding upon the subject, and ac icordingly they had agreed to, a mileage rate of ear- Iriage between London and Colchester, which would give : the Eastern Counties Company a fourth and the Eastern Union three-fourths.—(Hear.) He would not touch upon the point of uniting the two companies under one management, because that would form the subject of dis cussion at a future meeting.—(Hear, hear.) Now how could they contend against such adverse circumstances 'as these? By the Great Northern line the fare by first Class was 135., while theirs was 19s. Again, the fare to Norwich on the Eastern Union was as 10a. 6d. against 14s. 6d., and 6s. 4d. against Bs. 4d., and he hoped and Ousted the two, nay, rather the three companies, wosoo • hereafter always work in unison together as they-were bound up in each other's success. They had tried what a reduction of fares would do; but the.actual loss !milting from swell causes was very serious, as they had in one case been compelled to reduce their fares to 10s. and , 6s. 6d. from I Is. and 9s. The loss in their traffic to Ciimbridge was nine per ceut., and that to Peterborough fourteen per Cent., as he had already stated, while their working expenses remained tendiminished—(Hear, hear.) In addition to these losses the company had been suffering from the strike of the engine -drivers, having had to send to Scot land and Newcastle in search of men, at great expense, and to convert for a time their plate layers into a body of police, so as to prevent any disturbances on the line.—(Hear.) All these extensive precautions bad been required for the due and proper working of the traffic, and because of the inconvenience which all this gave rise to, the directors had been forced, indeed they had DO other alternative, but to charge the expenses which it involved to revenue. (Hear, hear.) He would now say a word or two with reference to the East Anglian line. Since he came upon the direction, he bad made several attempts to come to an amicable understanding with that line, and he had always been met on the threshold with the observation, " Why don't you pay as the twenty-two thousand . pounds yon owe to us?" (Laughter.) Now, they were advised that they did not owe any tling of the kind.—(Hear, hear.) That claim, he be -1 eyed, arose out of certain Parliamentary expenses in curred by the late board in 1847, and they (the new directors) of course resisted the claim; but whether there were or were not any ioni fide grounds for the claim, it ought not, in his opinion, to stand in the way of an amicable arrangement between the two lines for the ,'working of both, to be settled by law, or by any other means which might be decided upon. Various complaints had been made that they had used the East Anglian line very ill; but he knew of only two instances since he had been at the board in which any hitch had taken place, and he was a party to one of them. When he happened to be at the board one afternoon he received a telegraphic message that the sheriff had seized the rolling stock of the East Anglian line, and he thereupon directed the superintendent that the com pany should cease to book persons further than Ely. He was sorry to stop the through traffic., but under the circumstances he thought he was justified in tilting such a course. The stoppage, however, only 'toted from Saturday till Monday, when he gave orders 56 the superintendent to resume the through traffic, the sheriff having ceased to have possession of the rolling stock, by the use of which alone the East Anglian line was enabled to convey passengers. The next cause of difference arose in this way—we booked passengers from London to Lynn, and they booked pas sengers from Lynn to London, each company receiving the fares which were paid by passengers, and they, the Eastern Company, required them to deposit in their hands a sufficient sum of money to meet the differ ence in the receipts, which they declined to do. Now, these differences were anything but hostile, and on neither side was there any power or control which could prevent them arising.—(Cheers.) That company had lately published a notice in the Gazette of their intention to apply to Parliament for a Bill to lease the line to another company on a working agree ment; but as soon as the Bill was brought before . Parliament, the .most important clauses were withdrawn.—(Hear, hear.) Ever since he bad a seat at the board his great desire had been to work harmo niously with all the other lines with which they were connected, because he believed the course which had hitherto been too much adopted, of fighting every one within their reeeh, had proved most disastrous to the company.—(Cheers.) After alluding to the passages in the report detailing what had been done with respect to the Shelford and Shepreth Junction and the New market line, he next referred to the various Bills which it was intended to promote in Parliament, and which more or less affected their interests. The first was a Bill for the improvement of Harwich. Their sincere wish ' was to arrive at some means by which the line to Harwich might be made. The Government had made a splendid breakwater for the protection of shipping in the harbour, and the harbour itself was one of the finest, if not the finest on the whole east coast of England. The next was the Bill for the Shelford and Shepreth Junction, which was lost on the second reading. The chairman then made a passing reference to other Bills, and went on to say that the Bill promoted by the Blackwell Company for making a railway to Tilbury Fort was now before Parliament, and had been read a second time. He might mention that before that company went to Parliament with their Bill they made a proposal for carrying their Bow junction line into the Eastern Counties line at Stratford. They offered them (the Eastern Counties) an equal share per mileage after deducting 501. per cent. for working expenses. Now it appeared that the result of such an arrangement would be that when a passenger paid Is. for his fare, the Eastern Counties Company would only receive id. of it for their share.—(Laughter.) Besides, a junction of that nature would bring an influx of passengers to a point on the Eastern Counties line where the influx would be extremely dan gerous to the public safety, and it was on that ground that their Bill of last session was thrown out by Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, they bad always been desirous to come to an amicable under standing with the Blackwell Company. for they be; lieved if a fair " give and take" agreemen were entered into, they might hav e the aroad van tage of the Fenchurch-street Station.—Hear, h had The Bill promoted by the Eastern Unio n Company h been read a second time, and if they went to a Commit teeies Company would with it, the Eastern Cou nt . ntlemen, who m ight probably hate to fight_ thoss ga hereafter be their allies, and perhaps at great ex pense and trouble.

[PRICE SD. was the Shepreth Junction, which was simply a renewal of the Bill which came before Parliament last session. He now came to a part of the report which was highly important—that was the question of the dividend. The balance to the credit of revenue was very small indeed, and he had explained the reasons why it was so; hut the sum, small as it was, had been fairly and honestly earned.—(Cheers.) Every shilling fairly chargeable to revenue had been so charged.—(Hear, hear.) If ho were determined on one thing more than another, it was to set his face against anything in the shape of fictitious dividends or cooked accounts.—(Hear, and cheers.) The directors had recommended, is the strongest te-ms, that no dividend should be declared this half year.—(Cries of "Oh," and " Let's have a dividend.") But it was for the proprietors to say whether there should or should not be a dividend; the question was one which ]rid entirely in their hands, and they had a right to determine it as they liked. The amount standing at the credit of the company for the last half-year was 2',6361, and if a dividend of Is. per share was declared, it would amount to 17,0001., thus leaving a balance ira heed of 7,0001. or 8,0001. Then it should be recollected they might have to encounter Parliamentary contests, and to preserve the credit of the company. He might remark that the directors had to bear a great deal of odium, which properly belonged to their predecessors in office. —(Ekar, hear.) After alluding to these discou raging circumstances, he would refer to those of a more satisfactory nature.—(Elear, hear.) The di rectors had found that, during the past year, a great saving might be effected by substituting iron instead of wood sleepers, and especially at the present time, as iron was almost as cheap as wood. Though their money and receipts had been considerably diminished, owing to 1-he circumstances he had detailed, he was, however, happy to say that the aggregate amount of traffic had not suffered at all, and that there had been little or no re duction in the number of passengers or the quantity of goods conveyel The Chairman then observed that the desire of the directors was to act uprightly, honestly, and with the strictest in tegrity, and not to conceal anything whatever from the proprietors, and concluded by moving the, adoption or the report and the accounts appended. Mr. Niamey wished to know how much the Eastern Union owed the Eastern Counties Company? The CHAIRMAN—Between 11,0001. and 12,0001. The compauy had judgment for the amount. Mr. Entas (director) said that there was also a consi derable sum due to the Eastern Counties Company, through the clearing house, from the Eastern Union Company. Mr. NATHAN introduced matter relating to the pro posed agreement between the Eastern Counties, the Eastern Union, and the Norfolk Companies, and upon which subject a committee of shareholders of the first named body has been appointed. The CHAIRMAN deprecated all discussion on this sub ject. Everything known to the directors should be placed before the committee. Mr. NATHAN, however, persisted in referring to the subject, and the consequence was a large amount of in terruption and confusion. After the lapse of a few minutes, Mr. NATHAN again rose, and said he wished to know the motive that had induced the sending out to the share holders, at an enormous expense, the voluminous report of Messrs. Quitter and Ball. Why, one-half the report was not correct. One thing they said was, that the Colchester line was not given out to contract, while the contrary could be proved by a reference to the company's books. The CasinstAN said the directors were bound to give Messrs. Quilter and Ball's report to the shareholders in all its integrity. Captain KELLY had observed with astonishment the quantity of coke used upon the line. The Brighton Company worked their trains—both goods and passenger —at a consumption of only 20 lb, of coke per mile, while the consumption upon the Eastern Counties line was 34 lb. of coke per A SIIA.RHROLDER—The traffic of the two lines is totally dissimilar. Captain KELLY—Now, if the directors would bring down the working expenses to the same rate as those of the Brighton line, the Eastern Counties Company would have in their pockets rather more than 20,0001. a year from the saving of coke alone. If he looked at the whob) expense of the line as compared with that of the Brigh-' ton Railway, he found it. was as 564 per cent. against 364 per cent. of the earnings. If the shareholders would take the trouble to calculate they would see that if ;this line were worked as cheaply as the Brighton Railway they would save 85,0001. per annum. Again, the Norfolk Company took out'of the Eastern Counties net earnings 28,000/. per annum. These two sums toge ther made 114,000/. a year, which might possibly be saved to the eompiny. A PROPRIETOR—A good deal too promising to be true. Captain KELLY—Ho would now aik the chairman whether it was the intention of the board to bring for ward at the special meeting the proxies that had been placed in their hands, for the purpose of supporting their views as to the amalgamation of the interests of the Eastern Counties, the Norfolk, and Eastern Union Railways? If these proxies were used, would not, he begged to ask, the labours of the committee be fruitless? The CHAIRMAN called the speaker to order. He would not answer any question of the kind. He would act as he thought best fur the intrirests of the company. Mr. NATHIN—We are sold if the proxies are used. Captain KELLY—Then he inferentially drew from the answer of the chairman—(Laughter)—that the directors did mean to use the proxies. Now he would tell the directors this much, and he hoped the public press would notice it, that if the result of the investigation of the corn raittee— The CHAIRMAN again called the speaker to order —(Great confusion.) Captain KELLY—If the committee approved of the agreement for an amalgamation of interests between the three companies, the proxies of the directors would not be wanted; but if the committee reported that such an agreement would be injurious to the interests of the Eastern Counties, then the proxies would be brought forward, and the shareholders would be swamped; their interests might be annihilated, and the company utterly ruined. Mr. HOWES moved an amendment that a dividend of ls. per share be declared. Mr. Box seconded the amendment. Mr. GEACIS said it seemed to be the misfortune of every person who attended there to take part in Eastern Counties proceedings that he should have some small quantity of dirt thrown upon him. lie was not going to answer any of the anonymous publications having reference to himself', but he did feel it right to say, that throw as much dirt as they pleased, none of it would stick.—(Cheers.) He alluded more particularly to a paper which had been put into his hands very politely—as he had no doubt it had been put into the hands of others—as he came into the place of meeting. One portion of that paper charged him with coming there for other purposes than those which he avowed. That statement was not true—(Che , rs)— but that he came there for other purposes than his own immediate interests he would avow. The stock he held in that company, though some 3,0001., would not at all be an inducement for him to attend there, and give himself any trouble about the affairs of the company, because he knew that the better way and the safer way for him would be, to go on the Stock Exchange and get rid of his stock, and employ his time more profit ably. But there was a large number of shareholders who had paid a large amount of their shares, and who had called upon him—having some little faith at any rate in his honesty and in his habits of business —to attend there and put his shoulder to the wheel, in order to assist in getting the company out of the diffi culties under which it now laboured. The Eastern Counties Company was in a very unfortunate pesition in two respects: they had a large amount of property invested, on which they got nothing, and they were likewise in a very unfortunate position, inasmuch as the arrangements of the company had failed to give a guarantee to the public that the line could be safely travelled over. With respect to the figures that had been made use of by a previous speaker (Captain Kelly), he must observe that comparisons of working could not be made between one railway and another. Almost every railway in the country had peculiarities belonging to it, which prevented its traffic being brought into fair comparison with that of any other line. He thought that a great deal might be saved in the working ex penses. The Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company, of which he was a director, had been in a worse state than the Eastern Counties Company, but it was now rapidly progressing and developing its capabilities, which required only good management to bring it out. In the last half-year an increase of 35,000/. took place in the traffic with an increase of only 2,0001. in the working expenses. This was done by taking large views of the company' s Inter t e. s em , out giving power to the executive officers t o carry h —(Hear)—and by that executive having the entire con fidence of the company, without whicheiftltwas imossible The proper to carry out the details of an arr an g em development of traffic required as much still and educa tion as any particular trade or business, intri cate, and he did believe that theparticu however ar business they had to transact that d a y was this — they must set about, as w ell as they could , remedying defects of management t m ha r t existed in the pr esent hoard. They were told b y K e nnard, at the last m ee t in g , t h at the board of directors were so disunited, and acte so badl out d any bus y iness, together, and that was i m possible to carry it pos i t i v ely unpleasant to sit at the board. The bo a rd was like a house divided against Itself. There were three vacancies at the board, and the better way was t o fill t h e m up by sending new men into the direction, and let t h em with the rest of the board set about perfecting such a system of management as should .bring about such a diminution of working expenses as ought, he said, to be made; and also take the best means of developing the traffic which, he believed, was capable of great increlse. Mr. WADDINGTON, M.P., entered his protest against the use of proxies, on the ground that they had been obtained without a correct knowledge of the entire case about to be decided having been laid before the share holders. The chairman had told them that the present board had had cast upon them odium which belongal to those who preceded them, Why, the present board bad Mr. WADDINGTON would explain all about that charge after the meeting had dealt with the directors' report. They should have chapter and verse. With regard to the management of the line, the first thing which the directors should look to was to get the confidence of the public ; but on the Eastern Counties line nobody could be certain for how long a period the same trains would run. The consequence was they had lost the confidence of the public. The CRAIRXAN was about to put:an amendment for the adoption of the report, with the exception of that part of it which recommended the non-declaration of a dividend, when Mr. NORRIS objected to such a motion being put, as many persons might be in favour of a dividend and yet object to various portions of the report.—(Hear.) An amendment for the payment cf is. dividend was then put and lost. Mr. NORRIS then moved, as an amendment to the original motion for the adopts .1 of the report, ;that the meeting adjourn till the 18th March next. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE ,advised the shareholders to bundle the directors out neck and crop if they could he found. After considerable discussion on the question of ad journment, Tbj CaAnuitAx said the motion fi r adjournment was a ver- • anent one; and hi cor .idered it so much affc position of the e. -..dve and the financi,l posi le company, that he must state—and he did SO w. ly intention of giving offence, without any feeling ue, without intending it in the remotest de. gree as at—that he should, if it were carried, re- sign his seat.—(Great interruption.) Mr. M`LannEar-thotight that. Eh. chairman, if.he were really and deeply interested in the welfare of the com pany, would not make such a threat. He (Mr, M'Lauren) was prepared to nominate a gentleman to fill the situation of chairrean.—(Cheers), Mr. &La (a director) should withdraw lon the fol lowing morning from the responsibility of being one of the executive if the motion fur adjournment were carried. A PROPRIETOR—The sooner the better. Mr. ibiatazirrr--Wier what Mr., Nlis hats said the sooner be re signs the..better. Mr. WADDINGTON suggested that the mover of the adjournment should embody in his amendment an inti, mation to the effect, that the committee of shareholders be requested to consider the policy of entering on any , working agreement that might be made with the New market, and Chesterfurd and East Anglian lines of rail, way, and, it so considered advisable, to report thereon, to the meeting to be held on the 18th March. Mr. Noanis.had no objection to embody in his amend ment the suggestion made by Mr. Waddington. The question of adjournment with. the suggestion of Mr. Waddington embodied in the motion was then put, and The CHAIRMAN declared it had been lost on a show of hands.—(Much confusien.) A poll was demanded. Mr. MIHGRATE (one of the directors)--I say adjourn the meeting, gentlemen. Adjourn it if y,ou intend to save your property.—(lmmense confusion.) Mr. BROADBENT (a , iirectur) said that with the board, as at present constituted, nothing could be carried cut. Some of the members were like the dog in the manger. It was all talk, talk, and hours arid hours were spent upon the most trifling matters. Adjourn the meeting (said the speaker), if you would save your property. Mr. SMYTHE (a director) held a large stake in the company, arid would say it would be most prudent and desirable to adjourn. _ _ _ It was announced that the poll would take place at a quarter-past five o'clock. Mr. MIRGRAVE (the director) I wish you to under stand that they have proxies to the extent of 5,000. The Pruprietor who had demanded a poll withdrew his demand. Sergeant GASELEE moved the adjournment of the meeting till the 18th of March. The motion was carried. Mr. GEACU demanded a poll. The meein..: was then adjourned till four o'clock this day, when the result of the poll will be declared. .

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at the De Grey Rooms,' in the cityof York. H. S. Thomson, Esq., in the chair. The usual preliminaries haying been gone through, and the seal affixed to the registered list of shareholders, The two retiring directors, Mr. Williamson and Mr. Jowett, were unanimously re-elected, on the motion of Mr. Bull. The CHAIRMAN said the company, although not pros perous, was in an improved condition. The sharehol ders might have expected an increased dividend but for circumstances which the report developed, and which he would explain. He recalled their attention to the state Of their affairs when they undertook the management of the company, and the improved position which it now Occupied. ' One object they had in view was the main tenance of the crtdit of the company, which they had placed in a very good position, enabling them to borrow money on fair and remonable ti rms. The next point was to keep their traffic, which they fund areutened in every direction—by the Leeds and 'I hirsk, the Great Northern, the Ma , chester and SlitffiAd, and other rival lines, and the Aire end Calder Navi gation. Some arrangements had been eff cted, and he hoped before long that amicable agreements relat ing to tragic would be reticle with all f them. Another object they had in view was to work their traffic efficiently. By transferring their Lee de traffic to the Marsh-lane station they were saving 2,0001. a year, beiides securing other advantages wising from the management of their own aff,iire. The proposed out lay on this station he defendei as being prudent and ad visable. With respect to the Milford junction station, he believed that its erection would be fully paid for by the rent of refreshment rooms which are attached, ehilet the traffic would be more easily worked. The Chairman next proceeded to enter upon the details of the accounts, which showed an increase of receipts of 13,4401., and of payments the increase WAS 6,4091. A great portion of the outlay was in increased mileage, consequent on competi tion, but he hoped that eventually their work would be done with a less mileage, whereby a decrease of expense would bo effected. Ho concluded by moving the adop-. tion of the report. Mr. SEYMOUR, Vice-Chairman, seconded the motion. On the motion of Mr. KENNEDY, an amendment was moved to the effect, " That no reserve or depreciation fund should be permitted in that company." The motion was seconded by Mr. SIMPSON, of Leeds, and after a long discussion, in the course of which no new light was thrown on the subject of depreciation funds, the amendment was lost by an overwhelming nat:jurity, two hands being held up for it. Mr. RAMSEY inquired it anything had been received from Mr. if akon? The CHAIRmax said -Yes. A sum of 10,700/. had been received from that gentleman, being a balance of a much larger account. This item had arisen fr..re some de- Ihntures taken up by Mr. Hudson on b , ,-half of the com pany. The money had been paid to his private account, and repaid from it for the purposes of the railway as re quired. He was no friend or defender of Mr. Hudson, but ho honestly believed that this matter was purely one of mistake, and on its detection Mr. Hudson paid the sum-9,0001., with 5 per cent. interest, amounting alto gether to 10,700/. It reply to other inquiries, it was said the Chancery suits against Mr. Hudson were progressing at Chancery pace, and that the arbitration between the company and Mr. Crawshav, the contractor, was sill pending. The resolution declaring the dividend was then passed. After a good deal of discussion, in reference to the negotiations with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, A resolution was proposed, authorising the directors to take immediate proceedings against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, to force that company to take a joint lease of the Hull and Selby Railway, according to the original agreement. After some discussion on the subject, in which a great reluctance to resort to hostile proceedings was evinced so long as the least hope of an amicable arrangement re mained, it was finally agreed to authorise the directors to take legal proceedings. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors ter minated the meeting. .
