Information may, ' 6" obtained as to all Works which have been executed by taib Company since its establishment in 1838, which will prove That the failure of many Works represented to have been done with the genuine , material, has resulted from the substitution of a spurious one.

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUN CTION RAILWAY. The Shareholders in this Company are aware, from the course which was adopted at the General Meetings, held in November and December last, of the strong dissatisfaction entertained by an influential body of their brother Shareholders with the pro ceedings of the Directors, both as regards the proposed amal gamation with the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Line, and the proposed sale of the• - M - iindertakings conjointly to the Great Western Company. At both Meetings distinct notice was given, in the most for mal manner, on of ropthat theseefluestions would be sub m i tte d for the ;110 ,hirP reconsideratlrietors, so soon as th ose t h en enti tled to hold Sher ere enabled, by obt a i n i ng the transfer and • symbol of their,, roperty to give their votes upon subjects of such vital importance to the Shareholders. ...i Upon general principles the dissenti ng Shareholders are op posed to anything that would bear the character of repudiation, but the unprecedented circumstances connected with this case (amongst which the following are most prominent) fully war rant them in the course they have adopted. The non-issue of the certificates for the shares for upwards of four months; the consequent impossibility of obtaining legal rraa.rem • tha ada-.4...... v.... A—..-.. • Lue attrnission by the Chairman himself of the fact of a refusal to register transfers; the extraordinary circum stances that before the certificates were issued, and when therefore none of the changes of property which had taken place since the passing of the act could be recognised, and the real owners of the shares were thus precluded from expressing their opinion at to the disposition of their own property, the Directors call a Special M ee ti ne. for no less an ouject Irian to alter the nature o the property, by an amalgamation with an other undertaking, (not being authorised to do so by any power in their act, owing to which, most inadepuate terms were of fered for the Birmingham and Oxford Lines itself,) and then to sell the line so amalgamated, (a proceeding equally unautho rised by their act,) clearly justify the holders of the chap.. ,iic 'mu...plain and uxtord Railway, who are dissatisfied with the result of these irregular proceedings, in resisting to the ut most of their power the accomplishment of the objects so pro posed, and in protecting their property and interests by those means which the law has provided. The dissentient share holders were satisfied, that as soon as the opinions of the real holders of the shares could be ascertained these views would be readily responded to; and all doubt upon the subject is now removed by the laree MPIIR ..tire or suprt which th ha already received, placing .. beyond a question the fact that a con ve siderable majority of the Shareholders are decidedly opposed to the arrangements proposed by the Directors, and are deter mined to annul them, and to secure for the Birmingham and Oxford Company at least as good terms as those offered by the London and North-Western Company—el 5 pershare premium. The Shareholders are well aware of the argument which has been adduced by the Directors to justify their nroceedings— that in consequence of the views PritPrtoir..,l 1... u Parli ort the subject of competiti on, t h ere was no alternay tive bu a t ment to dis pose of this line to the Great Western Company, although the result might be that they must have it An rhnh. „.., pis it is replied• firstly, that the musinterm a s were at least bound (as trustees for the prop r i e t ors ) to o b tain full value for their property ; and the universal admission that the Birminghom and Oxford is a ten per cent. line, (more was originally stated,) sufficiently indicates,_ without further refe rence to the offer of the London and North-Western Company, that the price offered by the Great Western is inadequate. Se condly, as the dissenting Shareholders consider that the only result which can be expected from competition is to secure (ultimately) the lowest charges to the public consistent with safety, they contend that this would have been more certainly and readily accomplished by an arrangement with the London and North-Western Company, who, while they are ready to give increased terms to the Birmingham and (lyfnrii nronrie- tors, are alsoprepared to secure to the public a scale of charges lower than those provided for by the Birmingham and Oxford act,_and considerably lower than those of the Groot Western Railway As ttie dissentient Sha re h o ld ers are now d es i rous o f at once completing their arrangement s f or effecting the objects above alluded to, and as they will b e grea tly f ac ilit a ted by a know ledge of the entire support they ma y rely upon, they rP(lllelat that their brother Shareholders who concur with them in opi., nion will transmit their name s , with the number of s hares held by them, without delay, to the following parties : — Air, E, J.
