THE LIVERPOOL AND BURY RAILWAY. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS. GENTLEMEN, THERE is to be a Meeting of your Body on the B th proximo, to determine, among other matters, on the proposed amalgamation of your Company with the Man chester and Leeds ; and I, therefore, as one of the body of Shareholders, beg to submit for your consideration the following facts, in the hope that you will be induced at once to put your veto on the scheme to be submitted to you, satisfied as I am that your 'interests as a body will be sacrificed by the connexion Ist.—The Liverpo nd Bury Line (late the Bol ton, Wigan, and erpoel) has been held out from the beginning, its promoters, as a 10 per cent. line. 2nd.—l lieve it was satisfactorily proved in Par liament at the traffic would yield that per centage on the capital. 3rd.—By the proposed amalgamation you will re ceive at most the 10 per cent. which your own line, as an independent line, would secure to you. Now let me at this stage ask, how do you advantage by the amalgamation ? But I shall tell you how you will suffer a material dis advantage. As I have said, your connexion with the Manchester and Leeds will just give you what your own line would give you without their assistance ; and, as a consideration for the union, the new stock which is about to be created by your own line, to carry out its extensions and new branches, will be distributed over the entire body of the amalgamated Company, instead of among the Share. holders of the original Bolton and Wigan Line,—thus damaging your interests to a considerable extent. Then there is the further loss you will suffer by being, in consequence of this proposed amalgamation, excluded from a participation in the stock of the Liverpool and Leeds Direct project, and which are now done at a high premium. Let me tell you what my opinion is : this scheme ap pears to me to have been got up by the Manchester and Leeds Company, for no other purpose than crippling the Liverpool and Leeds Direct ; and so you and your inte rests are to be made subservient to that good end, and your Board of Directors have not been keen-sighted enough to see the motive, or, if they did, they must per mit me to say that they have been very soft in allowing themselves to be so readily captivated—or captured— which you please. The Liverpool and Leeds Direct scheme offered pal pable advantages to your line,—that is, advantages in addition to what your own line was worth, in so far as it offered to throw the whole of the Leeds traffic, for Liver pool and intermediate points, on it, and thus, while car rying out its own purpose, benefitting your interests most largely. And what do your Directors now recommend you to do ? Nothing less than this, to join the Manchester and Leeds, (by which you will gain absolutely nothing,) so that the Manchester and Leeds may be the better able to keep a powerful competitor out of the field, and thus be enabled to retain the exclusive carrying and passenger trade from Leeds to Liverpool by its own round-about route. MANCH ESTER UNITY OF THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD-FELLOWS. To the MEMBERS who belong to the LODGES in the LIVERPOOL and other DISTRICTS that have been SUSPENDED by the G.M. and BOARD of DIRECTORS for a violation of the General Laws of the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd-Fellows. NUM EROUS applications having been made by Mem bers of Suspended Lodges for Re-admission into the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd- Fellows, on the ground,that they were ignorant of the steps which had be9,-tiken by their Lodges in seceding from the Manchester Unity, I am instructed to inform all who may hate dissented from or taken no part in such proteeedings, calculated to destroy all con fidence in the stability or usefulness of the Society, that arrangements have been made to REINSTATE THEM in full possession of all the privileges and immunities which belong to the Society, in making the necessary provision for the just requirements of such as may have a claim upon the funds by being unable to follow their employment. To afford every facility, and to give the Members an opportunity of examining for themselves as to whether the principles upon which the Society is based are correct, the G.M. and Board of Directors have fixed Thursday, the Ist day of January, 1846, as the last day Clearances can be granted ; and those who do not avail themselves of this offer will not be al lowed to re-join, even as new Members, without they in dividually obtain the consent of the General Annual Committee, and that consent will only be given in strict accordance with the 32d General Law.—All applications to made' to Prov. C.S. ANDREW ROURKE, at the District Offices, 14, Chapel-walks, South Castle-street, Liverpool. The principles on which the Manchester Unity are now founded are such as to insure the Members the benefits held forth at whatever date they may be claimed, by calling upon the whole of the Lodges to pay their Con tributions to a " General Lodge Fund," which is appro priated exclusively to paying the Sick and interring the Dead; all other expenses to be defrayed by a separate Contribution. If this rule had been acted upon at the formation of the Society, the Lodges which are at present suspended would not have been in the deplorable condi tion in which they are now situated ; and what must be come of those Members who, after having so lavishly expended the whole of their funds, are left upon their own resources? Their position will be truly awful; and, after having subscribed their money for thirty years, they will find that at the time they stand most in need of as sistance a deaf ear will be turned to their applications, and they will live to curse a e hour they were, in th eir incautious moments, induced to listen to the clamour of designing men, who have everything to gain, and nothing to loose, by the violent disruption of a body hitherto the pride of the working classes, and their surest guarantee for the respect of their fellow : countrymen. The Annual Committee has decided that the Manchester Unity shall for the future be considered a MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETY ; and when the Funds of one District have be come exhausted, by circumstances arising over which the Lodges have no control, the necessary Funds to enable them to relieve their Members will be provided for them, if such Lodges shall have regulated their payments and Expenditure in accordance with the Scale laid down by the General Committee. Your interest is, to get that traffic to pass over your own line: but your Directors, by their proposed amal gamation, are just in effect telling you that such traffic had better keep where it now is. The Manchester and Leeds Line will gain, as they think, all they want by this movement, while yeu will lose a large proportion of the advantage your own line would give you. But do not let your Directors think that, by the amalgamation, they can succeed in extinguishing the Liverpool and Leeds Direct! If they, or their friends of the Manchester and Leeds, had but thought of it, they might have seen and known that there are other means to work out the purpose of the latter company, and which means, I have occasion to know, are now being actively brought to bear, and which will not only defeat the pur pose of the proposed amalgamation, but deprive you and your line of any chance of advantage from that traffic. You cannot blame the Liverpool mid Leeds Direct for doing so ; they offered a friendly alliance, but your Directors rejected it. I call upon you, therefore,—or, rather, would submit to you whether it is not at once our duty, at the meeting to be held on the Bth of October, lst.—To disapprove of the proposed amalgamation with the Manchester and Leeds Company. 2nd.—To instinct your Directors to open up a ne gotiation with the Committee of the Liverpool and Leeds Direct, with a view to an immediate and ami cable understanding with them. By adopting these two courses, you will at once establish the independence of your own line, and secure to your. selves all the advantages—and they are many—which its own immediate and prospective intrinsic worth is certain to realise ; thus averting a division of large profits, and maintaining entire your own power as a Company. There are many of your body who agree in the opinions I now offer to you, and who are determined with me to do all in on:• power to prevent the union contemplated. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, A SHAREHOLDER.
