GENTLEMEN, IBEG to annex .you a copy of the Report of the Directors to the late General Meeting, and of the proceed ings thereat. In explanation lam directed to inform you, that the Act of Parliament authorizes the construction of a Railway from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton, with a Branch to Coal brookdale, the Capital being One Million, to be equally divided between the Shareholders in the Shrewsbury, Wo , verhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company. As, however, the original Share holders in the latter Company had, previously to the amalga mation with this Company, agreed to subscribe the sum of £300,000, being one-fourth of the Capital required towards the formation of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Bailwav (with which the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company having nothing to do,) it is provided in the act as one of the terms of the amalgamation, that two classes of shares shall be created, to be termed respec tively Class A shares and Class B shares. The latter class represents half the above mentioned capital of £1,000,000 (viz. £500,000) required for constructing the line from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton, and the Class A shares represent the other half of that capital, together with the additional sum of £300,000 to be subscribed on account of that class exclusively towards the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line. The position of the two classes of the Shareholders will therefore be as follows :—Assuming that (as it is presumed will be the case) the holders of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction scrip claim the shares to which they are entitled, then Class A will have 52,000 shares of .4'15 7s. 9d. each, and Class B the same number of shares of £9 12s. 3d. each, which share will be credited with 12s. as a deposit. The original number of Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire shares having been only 26,000, two of the new shares of 12s. 3d. making together £l9 4s. 6d. will be is sued in respect of each one of those original shares of ..t25, but not unless you forthwith send to me, at this Office, your origi nal Scrip with a request (in the annexed form) to be registered for the above Shares in the amalgamated Company. In ex change for your Scrip you will forthwith receive Certificates for your new Shares in the amalgamated Company. It is my duty particularly to point out to you the necessity of your immediate attention to this matter, and I have the honour to be, Your very obedient Servant, J. WHITNEY, Secretary. Wolverhampton, November 3, 1846. FORM OF REQUEST. MR. JAMES WHITNEY, Secretary of Shrewsbury, Wolver hampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Railway Company; MR. GEORGE KNOX, Secretar'Y ofArewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company; Gentlemen,-1 send you Scrip for so many intended Shares of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Stafford- , shire Junction Railway Company, in right of which I am now entitled to Shares in the amalgamated Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction Railway Com pany, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway company, and I request you will have me registered accordingly for the last mentioned Shares in the terms of the circular signed by Mr. Whitney, dated the 3d instant.

The Committee meet the Proprietors on the present occasion with much satisfaction, since they are enabled to report the at tainment of that which was the orieinal nhiert of th. tion of the Company, namely, the - passini in ihesessiOnit7st ended of an Act of Parliament which authorizes the construc tion of a Railway from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton. As doubtless most of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Proprietors are aware, they were not the only parties seeking to obtain that object. An influential body known as the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company also in troduced a hill into Parliament, which, if it had been passed in its original form, would have authorized a line (to the exclusion of this Company's) between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, thnnvh nnlv As a nnrt of n more extended nntlertnicin.f......, es..: former town to Birmingham. Since the two lines as between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton were and necessarily must be substantially identical in point of route, it has all along been the desire of your Committee to bring about an amalgamation with the other Company for the attainment of the object thus clearly common to both—leaving the extension line from Wol verhampton to Birmingham open to be made by other parties who might be so inclined. But the Shrewsbury and Birming ham Company, it is understood, experienced great difficulty, owing to alliances which they had formed, in agreeing to such an amalgamation, until the period at which it was ultimately decided upon, namely, whilst both bills were pending in the committee of the House of Commons, when arrangementswere made satisfactory to all concerned. The following is a copy of the short Memorandum of Agreement signed by the counsel of the respective companies, and will, it is believed, be at once intelligible to the local proprietors, though to others it may be necessary to state that the main difference between the two lines, as between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, was, that whilst your line was laid down on a low level at Wolverhamp ton, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham was on a high level. COFY OF MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT : Shrewsbury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction B,ailways. NoREED, That if the committee adopt the low level, then the Shrews bury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire line is to be taken. That if the committee adopt the high level, then the Shrews bury and Birmingham line is to be taken. That if both levels at Wolverhampton be adopted, then the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line to be taken, and a fork made out of it to the low level station, at a gradient of 1 in . 129. In any event the two Companies to be amalgamated as be tween Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, each taking half of the capital ; the Shrewsbury and Birmingham two-thirds, and the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Stailbrd shire one-third of the direction. Each party to pay their own costs up to this time ; all future costs to be debited to the joint account. . . All disputes to be settled by Mr. Hope and Mr. Cocicbmi,. with liberty, in ease of disagreement, to - call in it.thfrwl party. Signed) N. E COCKBURN, For the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company. JAMES it. HOPE, For the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company Committee Room, No. 26, House of Commons, June 30, 1846. This agreement was confirmed by the separate Acts subse quently obtained by this Company and by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, and they contain the requisite provi sions for carrying it into effect. Those provisions will be read at length if any proprietor desires it, and therefore your Com mittee will not attempt any other epitome of them than the very general one just given. There cannot in the opinion of your Committee be the slightest doubt of the policy or pro priety, either in a public or private point of view, of your de ciding on the present occasion to avail yourselves of the option secured to you by the Acts of Parliament of amalgamat ing with the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, and tak ing (in your due proportion) .4'500,000, being half the total capital authorized to be raised for the Shrewsbury and 'Wolver hampton line, with the nomination of one-third of the future Directors of the amalgamated company, and your Committee unanimously recommend to you this course. If this be your decision, it will be necessary for you at this meeting to resolve formally that the number of Directors shall be nine, next to name those nine, and then to resolve also that you agree to the amalgamation on the terms of the Act of Parliament. Your Committee will take the needful steps for carrying out the de tails of the arrangement, (some of which remain yet for more mature consideration,) but would not omit the present oppor tunity of stating, for the information of every proprietor, and calling his special attention to this fact, that he forfeits all in terestn the undertaking if he fails to signify his acceptance of the new shares (which will have to be offered to him in exchange for his present scrip) within the period and in the manlier which bill be stated in a notice and circular which will be is sued in a week or ten days from this time, and wherein the share arrangements will be minutely detailed. There has not yet been time to obtain a full and accurate statement of the accounts of the company up to this date, but it will be the immediate duty of the nine gentlemen to hom you may this day entrust the future management of your af fairs, to get in all the outstanding bills, and ascertain the exact amount of expenditure as speedily as possible. In conclusion, your Committee desire to express their unabated confidence in the soundness ant also th promising character of the undertaking, and rent personal gratification they will receive if it shall he the pleasure of this meeting, to elect that the undertaking shall be henceforward promoted by means of the joint funds, and with the united energies of the Shrewsbury and Birming- his able an( Offices, 103 ii'orfolk-street, Sheffield.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. AT a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the shareholders of the MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, and MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY, held at the Cutlers' Hall, in Sheffield, on THURSDAY, the 29th day of October, 1846, WILSON OVEREND, Esq. in the Chair. The Notice convening the Meeting, the Report of the I'rovi sional Directors, and the Abstract of the Accounts, having Feel' read by Mr. Pierson, one of the Solicitors of the Company, It was unanimously Resolved, I.—That the Report of the Provisional Directors now read, with the Statement of Accounts annexed, be received am adopted, and thR th7ir Rroceedings be approved andconfirmed 'That this Meeting*: hereby authorises and empowers the sary for obtaining an Act of Parliament, authOrising the con struction of the proposed Lines of Railway, during the ensuim Session; and also to enter into such negociations or arrange expedient, with a view of protecting and promoting the inter esti; of the Shareholders of the undertaking. 3.--Tnut tne Pro.-istousi nirectoffare hereby fully empoWeeed to pay to any Shareholder who may decline to join in the re newal of the Application to Parliament, in conformity with the recornmendatiOn contained in the Directors' Report, previously read, the Sum of Two Pounds and Ten Shillings per Share on all Shares held by such Shareholder in the Manchester, Shef field, and Midland Junction Railway ; and any further sum which, after the final settlement of all Accounts, may hereafter become payable to such Shareholder : the Scrip for such Shares being sent in on or before the 14th day of November instant. 4.—That the Directors are hereby authorised to dispose of the Shares which may be renounced by parties withdrawing from the further prosecution of the undertaking, in such manner as they may consider most conducive to the interests of the Com pany. • • • —• _ s.:—That the Report of the Provisional Directors, the state ment of Accounts, and the Resolutions of this Meeting, be printed and addressed to the Shareholders. 6.—That the best than.is of this Meeting are due, and are hereby given, to the Directors for their past services. WILSON OVEREND, Chairman. The Chairman having vacated the Chair, That the thanks of the Meeting readiness to take on the passenger to his destination ; and these trips will be repeated as often, and at such places, not only in the great thoroughfares, but in their intersectines, as shall he judged best suitable to the public convenience. The present Omnibus fare being Sixpence for any distance, howevershort, and to be paid over and over again, if business or pleasure call the passenger to make stops On . his_ route travelling tints becomes a serious expenditure ; but by the new system a somewhat discursive journey can be taken at the cost of a few pence. The advantages to be derived by the public at this trivial expenditure are, the saving of wear and tear of clothes and shoes,—shelter from the heat and other inclemency of the weather,—the sparing the personal fatigue occasioned by walk ing, —the enabling housekeepers and their servants to attend the best markets, the shopkeeper to send his parcels, and artizans to remove their families from crowded dwellings into the country air, because of the cheapness of that transit which will enable him to add an hour to his labour, and come to it unfatigued, much to the benefit of himself and his employer. To the aged, the invalid, and the infirm, it will afford the means of locomotion at a cheap rate ; in fact, there is no class uninterested in the success of a measure so much tending to personal ease and convenience; and the Company is divided into small Shares, to enable the public, whose business it is, to give it their support, and partake of the advantages it will afford. Particular attention will be paid to the accommodation, and taking to their destination, of passengers by the Railways ; and where large bodies of workmen congregate, accr" . " -- will be afforded at such hours and evening, as will best suit them s in the morning, dinner-tim Neither the formation of this Company, nor its operations, require an Act of the Legislature, but simply a Deed of Settle ment, which will be prepared and settled by Counsel on behalf of all parties ; but until the same shall be executed, the Directors have the right of making such alterations in, and additions to, the plan of the Company, as they may deem advisable. The projectors, who registered (provisionally) this Company, on the twenty-ninth day of September last, in consideration of their exertions in projecting, maturing, and introducing to the Shareholders, a Company promising such great advantages, being willing to look only to a small fractional part of the sur plus profits for their reward, it is stipulated and agreed on, shall have, during the continuance of the Company, - in equal fourth parts, to the use of themselves, four-twentieths of such surplus profits as may remain after defraying all costs and charges, and allowing a reasonable sum for wear and tear, and after paying a dividend to the Shareholders of Five l' per Centum per Annum on the Capital subscribe to be paid annually, and whenever otherwis a dividend of such surplus profits to be, Centtun per annum, divided iron to the said Five per in g to the num When 10,000 if their respective sl es are subscribed Company as rmed for operations, provided a Certific - ate * of complete tion be obtained, and the Call of One Pound per Share reon.
