GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

A special adjourned meeting of the proprietors
was held at noon, at the London Tavern, in compliance with
the standing orders of the Hones of Lords—Mr. 00008011 in
the chair —to consider one of the remaining bills pending in
parliament. The hill requiring the decision of the share-
holders war '• A bill for making railways from the Great
Peatern Railway at Feat Denham to Norwich, to be called
• The Worisurn Valley Railway; and for other purposes."
The only clause in the bill affecting the company wee one
which authorised them to wthscribe 72,000/., or one.third of
the proposed capital, to the midertakirg.
Mr. BIDDER, in moving the adjournment of the meeting
for a fortnight, Groomed his regret at the rejection by the
Mows of Commons committee, on the previous afternoon,
of the bill for making a railway and branches to connect the
Great Eastern Railway with the railways commencing near
Doncaster and Astern, to be called "The Great Eastern
North Junction Railway." That derision was, be contended,
against the weight of evidence in favour of the opening of
a new communication with the north. The committee
seemed willies to grant all they could grant without injuiy
to the Great Northern Railway. The chairman of the
committee admitted that the line would be the bast ; but
what would become, he asked, if it were made, of the Great
Northern! Possible injury to that railway was not a suffi-
cient ground for rejecting a bill which was manifestly for
the public benefit ; and the board intended to submit the
question again to the shareholders.
The motion having beau semieded and carried, the meet-
log adjourned till the 21st mat, whoa the remaining bills
will be considered.
