LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)

A special meeting was held at noon (adjourned
from May 13), to obtain the asee3t of the proprietors to
certaials now pending in parliament, in accordance with
the Wharncliffe standing order of the House of Lords.
Mr. Weeniest., M.P., deputy-chairman, presided,
and explained that the first bill for conesderatica
was the London end North-Western (Additional
Powers) Bill. It was truly an omnibus bill. Its
object was to enable them to carry out various improve-
, meats with the view of facilitating the traffic generally.
It involved the alteration of streets in Wigan, Chester,
Toworater, and in the neighbourhood of Northampton
and Newport. It also provided for a new line
from New Huddersfield to Kirkburton. This line
would be 41 miles long, through a dense po-
pulation which required the accommodation, and
which would, if the London and North Western did
not provide it, probably connect themselves with the
Midland. The bill further empowered the company to
cooolude arrangements, which were now being negotiated
in the most friendly spirit, for furthering the traffic, be-
tween them, and otherwise for their mutual interest.
The heads of the bill having been read,
Mr. WILLIAIN objected to the 47th clause, which em-
powered the raising of the requisite additional capital of
150,0001. by preferential shares at the discretion of the
directors, against the principle of which he protested. He
also complained of the proposal to take in the Cannock
Chase and other lines.
Mr. MORGAN supported the bill, which he regarded as a
measure of peace, end one calculated to improve the posi-
tion of the company. He did not agree in the principle of
preference shares, but understood that the permissive power
sought was simply to enable the directors to raise the ca-
pital, if oimemary, at a rate of intereat below the average
rate of dividend paid upon the original capital. (Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN having briefly replied to Mr. 'Arilliarna's
objections,
A resolution affirming the bill was unanimously passed.
The second bill empowers the company to make eertain
new branch railways, forming communication with West
Cheshire from Sandbach to Northwich, and to abandon
part of the Mated and Kuntsford line. The additional
capital (which may be raised by preference shares) is 60,0001.,
in addition to 60,0001. already authorised for the Chelford
and Knutaford line.
A resolution assenting to this bill was also unanimously
adopted.
The meeting was then further adjourned till Friday at
12 o'clock, for the consideration of other bills now in com-
mittee.
