PATENT SPERM OIL. This excellent Oil, only ss. 6d. per imperial gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and will burn in every de chargedn o oil lamp.

THE attention of RAILWAY ENGINEERS, AR CH ITECTS, and CONTRACTORS, is particularly directed to the great advantages to be derived from the application of SEYSSEL ASPHALTE, as the only impervious and permanent Covering for Arches and Roofs, and Lining of Reservoirs, Gutters, &c. , The arrangements Of CLARIDGE'S PATENT ASPHALTE COM PANY enable it to execute Works of any extent with the great est promptitude. In order to guard against the use of spurious materials, it is important that all applications for Works to be executed, be made direct to this Company ; and as a further protection, it is suggested that Engineers, Architects, and Contractors sh ou ld require a CERTIFICATE from the Company that the proper description of material has been used. Information may be obtained as to all Works which have been executed by the Company since its establishment in ;838, 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. I. FARRELL, Secy., Seyssel Asphalte Company, Stangate, London.

There are now VAC ANCIES for Two Ladies and One Gentlem an , i n d etac h ed rooms, with separate a Mh RAILWAY. The Shareholders in thi s C ompany are aware, from the course service ; for Three Ladies an d f or T wo Gentlemen the First which was adopted at the General Meetings, held in November Class, and for Five Patients in the Second and Third Classes. and December last, of the strong dissatisfaction entertained by GRIFFITH JONES, Secretary. 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 two undertakings conjointly to the Great Western Company. At both Meetins distinct notice was given, in the most for mal manner, that g these questions would be submitted for the reconsideration of the Proprietors, so soon as those then enti tled to hold Shares were enabled, by obtaining the transfer and symbol of their property, to give their votes upon subjects of such vital importance to the Shareholders. Upon general principles the dissenting Shareholders are o posed to anything that wonld bear the character of repudiatio p n, 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 transfers; the admission 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 ownoperty, the Directors call a Special Meeting, for no l ess an object than to alter the nature of the property, by an amalgamation with an other undertaking, (not being authorised to do so by any power their act, owing to which, most in \te t- - if - C HESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY _____ HALF-YEARLY ORDINARY MEETING. The HALF-YEARLY ORDINARY MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS of this COMPANY will be held, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, London, on WEDNES DAY, the 10th day of February next, at One o'clock precisely. , maaeua— .:erms were oi 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 shares in the Birmingham and Oxford 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 80 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 large measure of support w hi c h t h ey h ave &ready ieceived, placing betond a 91.iestion the fact that a con - Ridprahlia nneinAttr ..a 44. 0 ny tit iue anarmiciers are decidedly opposed to the arrangements proposed by the Directors, and are deter mined to annul them. ant i to Lo becure ror tne Birmingham and Oxford Company at least as good terms as thos,e offered by the London and North-Western Company —.-15 per sha re premium. The Shareholders are well aware of the argument which has been adduced by the Directors to justify their proceedings— that in consequence of the views entertained by Parliament on the subject of competition, there was no alternative but to dis pose of this line to the Great Western Company, although the result might be that they must have it on their own terms. To this it is replied—firstly, that the Directors in making terms were at least bound (as trustees for the proprietors) to obtain a 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, withoutfTarther 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 (nitimately) 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 Oxford proprie 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 Great Western Railway. • As the dissentient Shareholders are now desirous of at once completing their arrangements for effecting the a o N eets above .anti no al.nn , ledge of the entire support they may rely upon, they request that theirbrother Shareholders who concur with them-in Opi nion will transmit their names with the number ofshares held by them, without delay, to the following parties:—Mr. E J.
