A meeting of the registered shareholders of this com pany was yesterday held at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, for the purpose of confirming an agreement made by the directors with .the directors of the Greet Western of Bengal Railway Company for the amalea mation of the two companies, and of adopting the Mea sures necessary for carrying the same into effect, and also of receiving a report from the directors, Tho chair wits taken at one o'clock by Sir G. Larpent, chairman of the company. The notice convening the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to read the report of the directors, from which it appeared that the company had been registered under the Act or 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110; that till the necessary conditions had been complied with; and that the directors had brought their negotia tions with the East India Company to a close. The terms upon which the Hon. East India Company had previously proposed to sanction the construction of two sections of the great trunk line of railroad from Calcutta to Delhi, throuell Mirztpore, one in the lower aid the other in the upper provinces, were:—that the land for the railway should be granted free of all cost for iiinety nine years; and that interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum for fifteen years on the capital employed on these sections (no exceeding 3.000,0001. sterling) should be advanced by the Hon. East. India Company, such interest to commence as soon as the contract should he arranged, and the ruin of 500 OWL paid into the East India Company's treasury; repayment of said interest being made when the profits of the line should exceed four per cent. The director; did not consider these terms sufficiently favourable to induce them to propose to the shaeeholders the adoption thereof. The directors considered the rate of guaranteed in terest too low, the period too short, and the sum re quired to be paid down too large. Upon all these pints, the directors were happy to state that the Hon. East India Company had met them with fairness and libe rality, and had agreed to raise the rate of interest from four to five per cent.; to extend the term from fifteen to twenty-five Years; and to require 100.00/. only to he paid upon the‘ arrangement of the contract. The terms, therefore, which the directors had now to submit to the consideration of the she's holders were—that the - East Indian Railway Company was to undertake to construct in the first instance, and to keep and work when constructed, two section; of their proposed line of railway between Calcutta and the north western pro vinces in India—one section in Upper and the other in Lower India; and toexpend thereon the sum of 3,000.0001. sterling. The Railway Compeer was to carry the Govern merit mails free of cost, and the troops and military stores at the lowest fares charged to passengers and goods. In consideration whereof, the East India Company was to guarantee a minimum dividend of five per cent. tier annum upon sums which, in the course of three years from the date of the railway company signing the first contract with the East India Company, should be paid into the East India Company's treasury by the railway company, to an extent not exceeding 3,000,0001. ster ling. This guarantee was to continue for a period of twenty-five years, and the payment of the interest was to commence as soon as the payment into the East India Company's treasury should amount to 100.000/.. arid was to be made in London half- yearly. The East India Com pany was to provide and .lease to the railway company, without charge or expense, for ninety-nine years. all the land required for the railway, the land remaining the property of the Government. When the profits of the railway exceed five per cent., the excess was to be di vided between the East India Company and the railway company, until the amount which may have been ad vanced by the East India Company shall have been repaid: thus, supposing the line to pay 10 per cent., the proprietary would receive 71 per cent., and the Govern ment 21- ' until the advances should be repaid, when the 1 whole of the profits would revert to the proprietors. It was the unanimous opinion of the directors, that thesti terms were such as they ceutil most fuliy recommend the proprietors to adopt; offering as they did advantages superior to those enjoyed by any railway company at home or on the continent, and removing the difficulties which, in times like the present, might otherwise pre vent the railway company from raising the necessary capital for an undertaking in so distant a country as India. The gurrantee established the railway payments up to 3,000.000/ sterling on the basis of a Government 5 per esna stock, and offered a safe and eligible invest ment fir money at a fair rate of interest, payable half yearly in London, for twenty-five years. In addition to this certainty, the proprietors might reasonably indulge the hope of an early participation in the profits of the railway, which had been shown, by the data laid before them in April last, to promise a large addi tional compensation to the persons who might be disposed to embark their capital in the undertaking. Should the proprietors concur in these views, the direc tors hoped that authority would be given to them to close eith the proposals of the Honourable East India Com pany. The directors were prepared to take immediate measures for carrying out the undertaking ; arid they hoped to be able to make such arrangements as would ensure the commencement of the works during the cold season of the present year. To accomplish this, a com mand of funds to some amount would be required, and they relied, therefore, upon the proprietors immediately registering their shares; for upon the number of shares registered, every arrangement must depend. The direc tors would receive payment in anticipation of calls, so as to allow parties to avail themselves of the East India Company's guarantee at once; but until the registration of the shares be completed, the directors could not state positively what amount per share could be so paid; they were prepared, however, to take the responsibility of re eeiving 151 per share, expecting that the whole amount required would not exceed 201. out of the 501. shire. The proposed amalgamation with the Great Western Railway Company of Bengal would be upon the follow tog terms 1. That the subscribed shares in the Great Western of Bengal Railway Company be exchang. d tor an equal number of shares in the Consolidated iompatiy, " 2. That the relative expenses of the two companies be equitably adjusted by mutual arrangement. "3. That three of the directors of the Great Western of Bengal Railway Company do juin the Consolidated Board. 4. And that the claims of the officers who may be displaced by the amalgamation, be considered by the Consolidated Board." The lion. Baronet then went on to say that no time had been lost in laying the result of the nego tiation with the Board of Control before the share holders. He always considered it necessary to have a substantial proprietary; that had been obtained by the company to their fullest setistaction It was most im portant to know the actual amount of shares registered, because if the shares were registered to any consider able extent the calls would of course be considerably less. For the present year no larger sum would be re quired than 100,000/. which would be sufficient to corn inence proceedings at once in India ; but it must be borne in mind that 5 per cent. would be paid to the sharthelders upon that sum. With respect to the amalgemation referred to in the r post, he felt. that they would he adding strength to their concern by taking these parties into the management with the present direction. Proposals of amalgamation had been made by other companies, but, under existing circumstances, the directors could not recommend therni to the proprietors; but, as this undertaking was clearly understood to be the first to which the sanction and influence of the Hon. East India Company would be given, the directors ' hoped that all parties desirous of carrying out railroads in Intia would unite in giving that aid to this company upon the success of which the future extension of the system of railway comieunication in India del.ended. It the great line conn , cting the metropolis of India with the north-western province's were accomplished, there could be little doubt of similar undertakings in other parts of India being, ultimately adopted. If the present opportunity be lost, it was problematical whether this i merest. d mode of communication, offering such idvant ,, ges to British India—such additional security ie the Governme=nt—and such benefits to the whole empire—would not be delayed for many year,, to the serious lo‘s of the pres nt generation. It was intended to send Mr. Stephenson, C E., out to India with the staff of the coinparKs ; that gentleman possessed the fullest confidence of the directors, and he had rendered most efficient services hitherto to them. With Mr. Stephenson would also be sent out other persons con. Elected with the whole machinery of railway companies. It was the intention of the company to educate the natives of India in the use of the machinery connected with rail way matters.—(Hear, hear.)

The usual half yearly meeting of this- company—the twenty-six , h—was held yesterday at Otte o'clock, at the offices of the company, Nine-elms, tor the transaction of the ordinary business of the undertaking W. Chaplin, Esq., M.P. for Salisbury. presided. A vast ntuabtr of shart . h..lders were present. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the seal affixed to the r•-gister of proprietors, and the previ.us minutes confirmed, The SECRETARY (Mr. Laurentz Campbell) read the following repotov-hich, as it is of au important charac ter, we give as submitted to the shareholders.:— " The Dirt etors are hapuy to state, that - notwith standing the very great reduction in the fares of this railway, the long continued winter, and the general commercial depression, the resu l t of the half-year's traffic enables them to recommend the same dividend as was paid at the corn-sponding period of the last year. The gross income of the past six months amounts to ... „, £192,432 17 0 The gross expenses, including interest on borrowed capital, amount to ,„ 105,488 17 3 Showing a balance of . £86,943 19 9 of which after the payment of the diAder.d of 1/. 17s. 6d. per share, subject to income-tax, there will : remain 3901 4s. 9d. applicable to the revenue' account of the current half year. - - - " The directors also recommend, IV emir irmity w ith the notice conveyed in the last halt % yearly rep al, the payment of 6 0001 to the holders of old 401. shares (con solidated eighti , s), being at the rate of 51. per cent. p r annum on their capitaL from Ist Janu . iry to 30th June last, from which day the 401. shareholders will be entitled to dondend rateably with the preprietors generally. " The Salisbury and Bishopstoke Branch, 22 miles in length, was opened for traffic in March, and the South• ampton and Dorchester Railway, 61 miles in length, was opened in June last, but a failure in the tunnel at Southampten, which has interpo,ed a break between that lime and the main railway, has prevented the new line from being worked with all the convenience which could have been wished. The directors anticipate that this obstruction will be shortly removed, and that a large accession to the traffic will then ensue. "The directors of the Southampton and Dorchester Company have hitherto not felt at liberty to acquiesce in an amalgamation between this proprietary and their own, but this difficulty no longer existing, and your directors considering that such a course must be mutually beneficial, will at the present meeting request your authority to perTe'et an arrangement fur the complete union ot the two companies. " With reference to the works of the company, now under execution, the directors are happy to report that ihe extension to Waterloo -bridge is in a most satiafan tory state of forwarnness. AU the branches and extensions sanctioned in the session of 1846 are in progress ; and the dir e ct ors see no cause to doubt that the oranches from Weybridge to Chertsey, read trona Eareham to Coshatn may be opened in the spiing, and those to Godaltning and Alton, in the summer of next year. The line between Basingstoke and Salisbury being of heavier character, its completion must not bi- anticipated before the spring 01 1849. " Several purchases of land has. been made on the London-bridge Extension and Hampton Ceurt Branch, and both will be shortly under contract. " Having thus briefly noticed the operations of the company under their existing powers, the directors are confident that the proprietors will feel satisfaction in reviewing the important proceedings in Parliament during the session which has just terminated. " In the metropolitan district the company have pro cured powers to widen the main line between the Rich mond Junction and Nine-elms, and to take addi tional property for enlarging the site of the proposed station near Waterloo. bridge. "In the Richmond and Windsor districts, Acts have been passed for making extensions from Richmond by Staines to Windsor (including a loop, passing by Chis wick, Breutford, and Hounslow), and trom Staines by Egham, to the main line nearFartibrough, with a branch to Chertsey. In the capital of these undertakings (amounting to 800,0001.) this company hold 520,0001. An agreement ler a perpetual lease ut these lines has also been entered into, and powers of purchasing them have been obtained. " In the Portsmouth and Brighton districts an Act has been obtained for effecting arrangements between the Brighton Company and this company for the joint ownership of the, Brighton Company's line between Cosham and Portsmouth, and for giving the Brighton Company powers 'of running on the South-Western line between Wandsworth and Waterloo-bridge. This company have also acquired powers tor making an in dependent line from Cost am into Portsmouth. With re gard to the larger question ot furnishing further railway accommodation in the country lying intermediate between the South -Western and Brighton main lines, no progress has been made, but the directors deem it right to take this public opportunity of emphatically denying all in tention or desire to thwart the public requirements in. this respect. In entire consistency with their repeated opinions they have certainly urged, that to execute the direct Portsmouth line would not be the best course for fulfilling those requirements; and they trust that the time is at. hand wh -n are n, ;ein „ ts way be completed for perfecting the railway accotinnadation of this district in a manner more likely to serve the public interests. this company have obtained the sanction of Parlia ment for making a railway from Andover to Southamp ton, and power to purchase the Andover and Redbriclaw Canal, on which the proposed railway may be, to a great extent, executed. Arrangements have also been made with the promoters of the Manchester and Southampton Balla ay, by which (in the event of their procuring an Act, in the next session, for the execution of such part of their line us lies between Andover and Cheltenham), hey will, on contributing half its cost, become join! owners of the Andover and Southampton line between Andover and Romsey, and will have rights of running over the remainder of this company's line, by Ramsey and Redbridge, to Southampton, and of using this coin panv's stations there, on term s of rec i proca l advantage. " - Of the branches promoted in connaxion with the Southampton and Dorchester line, three, namely—to the Southan.pten Water at Ming,- to Lymington, and to We) mouth—have been sista:tamed by Parliament. The Bill for making the branch to Blanoford has been prose cuted suecesstully through the Commons, but owing to its being heard by the Committee to whom the lines west of Salisbury were rein] red, it was necessarily so delayed, as to prevent its being passed into a law during the late session. It will be resumed next session, when, the op position to it having been already fully heard, no doubt of its success need be entertained. ‘• With respect to the great extension lines from Salsbury, westward, although the directors are unable to report final success, they believe that it can be no longer doubtful. The necessity of, waiting tor the re- , port of the Commissioners ot Raile,;eys upon the financial ;wean) of the company, led to considerable dela) . in the first instance. end the inquirt it- e lf. cenducted asit was befere a Committee quite niieetnepled in the patience and care with which they investigate , the subject, was protracted to sa great a length (fifty-three days), that it was only on the 2d of July that the Committee unanimously decided in favour ot these tines. These Bills have, therefore, been suspended under the tattlers or the Houses until the next, session, and after the un paralleled examination by three Committees in the last and present ear, and their unanimous decisions in favour of the execution of such lines by this eotnpant and their allies, any further attempts to oppose the opinions of the district, and of Parliament, can scarcely succeed even to the extent Of causing further delay. t '• The Bill for extending the period for executing the Exeter and Exmouth Railway, and for authori s i ng t hi s company to subscribe towards its capital, and lease or eurchase it on the terms which have at a former meet ing been sanctioned by the proprietors, has received the Royal assent. " West of Exeter, the directors regret that the opposition referred to iu their last reptirt, was unsuccessful, and the company r were p revente d submitting the Plymout h and Truro lines to the consideration of Parliament on their merits. Under these circumstacces, the directors considered it their duty to aid in the oppositions raised in the locality by the B r i stol and against the various lines promoted Exeter, and South Devon Companies, and the result was the rejection of the Creditors and Launceston, the Plymouth, Tavistocls, and Launceston, and the Laun ceston and Liskeard Bills ; thus effectually preventing the occupation of the district by hostile and less compre hensive undertakings, and obtaining a further recogni tion of the greater value and importance of the measures proposed by this company. - "The Bill for improv in g Sutton Pool, the gre a t corn mercial harbour of Plymouth, and for authorising this company to subscribe towards it, and to assume an ade quate share in its nsanagenient, has p asse d into a law, and the directors believ e that the company rav e th us obtained a position of the utmost valise in Plyrnoth, when the strongest teeli n g in favour of the extension thither of a railway, on the national gauge, continues to prevail. " The Bill for authorising, the lease of the Taw Vale Railway by this company was referred to the Commit tee w'h'en had char to of the Bills east of E aeto . , and from tin s eireuirtstanca could not be brought under dis cussion before the 9th of July last. It, therefore, re mains suspended snider the resolutions of the Houses, and mill be resumed in the next rsessit,n, Mean time the Taw Vale C o mpany have atiquire i l powers for theexacta n or tw, braseh lines (to Bideford and S out h Nlit i tan.), s,bieh will afford ituporta sit furt h er sstsantiant at i on to No: th Devoii, and it is nlso extremely probable that, by use adslition of the Ex, ter anti Credi tuu line (to be included the inteutled lose to this By traffic 3,324,935 5 0 PRICE SD.

" It is not the intention of the directors on the present occasion to enter upon the measures which it may be necessary for the company to promote in Parliament next session, further than to ask for the confidence of the proprietors, and their sanction to such preliminary steps as the cirectors may think it expedient to take before submitting to a future meeting definitive and ma tured plans. " With respect to the capital intended to be raised under the reiulutions of the special general meeting held in November last, the proprietors are probably aware, that through the suspension of some of the company's Bills, the directors have failed to acquire powers to create so large an amount as was then contemplated " The sums authorised to be raised in shares by the company's Acts of the present session, are For Subscription towards and purchase of the Windsor Lines £Boo,ooo „ The Andover and Southampton Line 300,000 „ The Widening of the Main Line aud.En largement of the York-road Station 150,000 „ Furthur Subscription towards the Southamp ton and Dorchester and Branches „ The New Works connected with the Portsmouth and Fareham Line ~ Subscription towards the Exeter awl Ex mouth Railway The Sutton Harbour Itnproveinent (Ply mouth)- Total £1,775,200 "In consequence of this limitation of the capital to about one third of the sum intended in November last. the directors propose the issue of third•sheres instead of integral shares of 501. and 401., and as Par:iament has prohibited the payment of interest out of the new capital. Ihe die, ctors recommend the followine• plan, which will give the holders of the new stock, at least a just equiva lent for the proposed modification of the terms of their subscription, and will be, under the ciretinastances, the most convenient for the present shareholders, vi z.:— " That there shall be immediately created such a number' of - thirds of a 50!: share as shall be sufficien.k to rive each holder of a 501. scrip certificate the option e t taking one such third, and each holder of five 40/. scrip certificates the option of taking four such thirds. "That the deposits already paid shall be treated as so much paid up on t►_e third shares, and that the remainder of each third shall be called up iu seven eayirents of 11. 13s. 4d. each, at intervals or three months, the first of such payments to be muds on the 30th September next, and the last on the 30th M,rch, 1849. " That dividend on such thirds shall accrue from the 14 July, 1848, upon the amount which shall have been then pail in respect of calls thereupon, and upon all sums paid subsequently to that day from the time of their respective payments, rateably with the other divi dend bearittg shares in the company ; but no interest shall be payable in respect of any sum paid on calls pre viously to the Ist July, 1848, but payments in advance of calls, if tendered shall be received, and interest at 51. per cent. per annum allowed. " Should the proprietors adopt this recommendation of the directors, the ready acquiescence of the scrip• holders may be confidently anticipated. " The attention of the directors has been called by various holders of 401. shares to the inconvenience arising from the existence of this description of share, and the directors have therefore determined, in framing the above terms, to avoid anything whi.•h might hereafter increace their number ; but the holders of the 40/. scrip may rely that every facility will be eff aided them in the conversion of their scrip, should the terms above suggested to the preprieters be sanctioned a' d acted upon. and as regards the existing 401. shares, the difficulty felt by the holders of them will be removed by the conversion of all toe fully paid up shares in the company into transferable stock in the course of the present autumn, and by adoring the same process as regards all the other shares so soon as full payment shall have been made upon them. " In conclusion, the directors feel called upon, after a mature review and consideration of all the circumstances affectiee the present position and future prospects of the South Western Company, to express a very decided opi nion that its affairs were nese r at any former period in a ct,ndition so promising; and they feel confident that time, and perseverance in the course which the proprietors have commenced with so much spirit. are alone neces• vary to prove the correctness of this opinion."

The Guildford line h a d now a double line of rails, and- the traffic of that district had increased, and was increasing. The lines between Guildford and Godalming were heavy, • but they were in a very forward state, and they might anticipate that the traffic to the coat by that route would ba considerable. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the other lime: men tioned in the report. At all the station , . wish the 'ex• ception of the Andover ro a d, t h e tra ffi c had greatly increased. The traffinof -the docks at southampton had also materially increased ; 63 pleket,. departed from the port in the course of a month. The distant3e, between Havreand Southampton had recently been accomplished by one of their boats in six hairs and e quarter, .and 163 packets passed between the .port and the isle or Wight in the course of a month. The Dorchester line h a d just been re opened, and the mail train ran along ityester , day. The people of Salisbury had testified their reTect for him in electing him as their Member, and he hoped they would appreciate the kindness, especially as he had ; polled more votes than any person did on uny former occasion. —(Cheers.) The line which had reeently passed the House of Commons—between _Exeter- and Salisbury—would bring them a vast accession.of traffic from the west. They proposed to erect laige,worka at Salisbury, which would be a most convenient point fin the Exeter as well as the old line. • They had not derived . a vast sum from the parent line during this year, owing to the reduction of fares, but they had ' tt,e elements of prosperity in the whole dis riet, especially as, it wits in creasing. He believed that their new line would yield a dividend of seven per cent. Mr. SimesoN seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. SMITH required an explanation of the item 4,164 i. for " sundry petty disbursements." The CHAIRMAN said the expenses extended over a, period o- three years, and related to the various new. lines. To other questions he stated that 240,0001. was. paid on the fifty shares-50,0001. or one• filth remained unpaid. The time was only three weeks past, and it would not be well to allow the num.'s of their friends td be exposed for the. gratification of any shareholder. rhe meeting, he was sure, would agree with (Cheers.) The traffic from the.west of England would, rte believed.; be satisfactory. The tariff .in tho nets .. Bill was more than they were now taking.—(Cheeri ) - Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE entered his protest 'against the name of one share defaulter not being made known —they ought to know who paid, and who did not pay their calls. Mi. Strutt's Bill would have obviated this, and if he wanted an urgum tit in favour of that Bill he should find it in the geberal opposition of all railway companies to it.—(Applause.) It he had bean the Member for Salisbury he should not have opposed it. He gave the directors credit for not adopting the plait of other companies, and not increasing the fares as soon as Parham , nt rose. They wanted no argument to show that the Windsor line was a most important true. The Central Devon had been thrown out by the Standing Orders. He wished to know whether this was caused by the Honourable: Member for Honiton (Mr. LMcke, the engineer), and whether he Intend° t to Imitate the example . of Mr. Stephenson, the engineer of the Manchester and S..uth4rnpton, who had off-red to carry the line through the Standing Orders at his own expense.—(Hear, hear.) Ho wished to suggest that there should be a refreshment room on the line, or that one should be carried along with the trains.— (Laughter ) The CHAIRMAN repeated that the 50,0001. was but a. small amount ; money was scarce, and three weeks had butelapsed since the time of payment, and that parties paid 5 per cent. interest. The Waterloo-bridge line would be opened in July, 1848, and the London-bridge one as soon aft, r as p .ssible. They had bought the shares held by the public in the Dorchester line, subject to the approval of the meetirg. They had fe;t it their duty to give Mr. Cockburn a dinner at Richmond for his exer ti,ms.—(Cheers.)._ Mr. Licsn, Sf.P., explained that he had employed most able men to survey the Cornwall line. But tine or two parties c• uld be blamed, and the errors ferretted out by Mr. Brun.-1 were only such as: had been passed by other Committees without objection. It the directors wished it he would carry the line through the Standing Orders —(No, no)—hut would 500/ com pensate him fir guaranteeing 10,0000—(Hear, hear.) They should recollect that this was but one of eight lines which the company had 13, , f0re Parliament la-4 session. He was not the engineer of the Southampton and Dorchester, and was not therefore responsible tor the tunnel. He had never charged the company for any thing but for his own :ervices. He never made a profit out of any one he employed. It was too much to ex pect him to be responsible for the acts of those who were employed by the company.—(Dear, hear.) In reply to two questions, the CHAIII.3IAN replied that the Wads and Forests had not expressed any desire to alto r the station determined upon by agreement at Windsor. It was true the Great Western in tended to reduce their fares, but he did not think they were entering into a ruinous competition with th a t line. Even with the contemplated reduction of their fares, he believed that they should be enabled to pay 71. per cent. The GENTLEMAN who elicited these replies said, the Great Western would no doubt next year get their line to Windsor ; and by the lines they had obtained they would be 4- nabl.l to cros the rivvr to join their line, to get to Ilungerford and also to London-brit7ge.--(Cries of "No, no.") The gentle. man admitted that he Has a broad gauge proprietor, but he held a greater stike in narrow gauge lines. He doubted much whether the to the west would be productive. The CHAIRMAN said they had 230 miles of railway, and 21,0004 a mile share capital, and surely they could compete with the Great %Vestern. They certainly would tike a con4derable portion of the traffic of the Gaut Western b. tween Exeter and Lot-don. Mr. BIRCHAM explain. d that the Great Western had not yet reduci d their tares, and it was competent for any one to sae them fur the difference mentioned in their Act. Bat the fares os the two companies would ulti mately he :dike. The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to another question that the receipts of the Richmond line for the last six months amounted to 9,4721. Three quarters of the Windsor line belonged to them, and they had money to buy the other quarter. Mr. CHADWICK, deputy chairman of the Staines line, stated, in reply to the gentleman above referred to, that the Great Western could only come to Vauxhall bridge. The cotetracts of the Staines ling had been taken at 8,000/. a mile. including bridges; and surer- at such a rate they could defy competition, for he defied the Great Western to get to Waterloo bridge under 1,000,0001.; but if the Great Western did carry on the line to Water loo-bridge, they would take two churches, besides im portant works, and interfering with Lambeth Palace. The CHAIRMAN said the Great Western line to Bat tersea would bring them a great accession of traffic. The report was then receive d unsnieleously, and a dividend of 11. 17s. 61. per share was declare d, and also a resolution to pay 11. per share to the lr Iders of the consolidated eighths. A resolution was then proposed empowering the directors to purchase 9,000 shares in the Dorchester line. The CHAIRMAN stated that they proposed to buy these shares, with some tenth shams, which had not been issued, and the market premium would be the value given for those shares. The resolution was agreed to: A resolution was next proposed for purchasing the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western line, at a pre mium of 4/. _ _ _ OWEN considered the proposition a job, and one which would merely benefit the hulders of th 18,000 shares. The CHAIRMAN said the directors had no objection to wait for a short time to see what the line would produce, hut they were so confident o; the importance of th- line that they had no doubt on the matter. They simply wished to have the option of doing so. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE moved that the a g reement be entered into; which was seconded by Mr. H . vs. Mr. BIRCUA.M said the directors simply wished the sharehold, rs to confirm an agreem: nt into which the had entered with the Windsor line. The purchase ache line was quite optional. Mr. TITE, as one of the shareholders in the Windsor line, hoped the South-Western would not exercise their option, as he believed, instead of being worth a premium He of 41, it would be worth many 41. premiums. ~u(1 great difficulty in preventing the sharehol ders from with. drawing from the agreement. corroborated li r .rj A e.'shareholder in the South- Western,Mr. LocKE , M.P., as a large ders not to ~ s a 1 o day in urged the shareholders the Ai•P statementthe nh a o i f rm m a r n .

The reading of the report gave the utmost satisfac tion to the meeting, as nearly every paragraph of it was applauded. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the adoption of the report and accounts, and addressed the meeting. He said he had always thought that a well digested report should supersede a speeeh of the chairman of a com pany ; but so many revolutio..s—such extraordinary changes had recently taken place in the property of the company—that he felt some remarks from him were necessary. Their affairs were in a most satisfactory state.—(Cheers.) By the end of 1848 their lines would have stretched out as far as London- bridge, and would afford accommodation to the throngs of people passing at all times over Southwark, Blacktriars, Waterloo, West minster and other bridges, and no doubt their line would be selected as the best means of getting to the coast — more preferable than the route through Isleworth (by the Great Western), and the passengers wo uld have sufficient accommodatio n, excellent carriages—wire blinds and wooden - whe eled carriages—which neither created noise nor threw up the dust.—(Cheers.) The traffic had immensely increased, and the number of people now travelling on the roads was greater than be fore the line was made—at _least the duty paid by coaches had much increased. , the traffic at Slough was immense, but when their Windsor line was made what a vast number of people would avail thpm,eiv,,, of the line, because it we.uld carry them directly on to Lyndon-bridge.
