LONDON.-EAST COAST RAILWAY.-Yesterday a spe-
cial meeting of this company took place at the offices in Moorgate-
street, for the purpose of agreeing upon term, for proceeding to par-
liament in the ensuing session, and of affording opportunity for the re-
tirement of the dissentient shareholders. The chair was taken by W.
Morley, Eq. After some discussion, a resolution to the following
erect wns agreed tounanimourly :-That the directors having gua-
ranteed that the expeneem of the renewed application shall not ex-
ceed Se. per share, it be agreed to proceed to parliament for power to
carry a line from Wiabeach to Spalding, with a branch from Long
Sutton to Sutton Bridge. That there be created 25,000 shares of 101.
each, 8,020 to be appropriated to the present holders of old shares ;
the remainder to be offered to the holden; of old shares, or to new
parties, on the payment of 11. per share on the above guaran-
tee sus to expenses. Thaw who would rather withdraw from the
company to receive back 6s. per share on producing their drip. The
meeting then separated.
DI:NOTABLE RAILWAT.-An extraordinary meeting of
the proprietors of this railway was held yesterday, at the London and
North Western Company's dike, for the purpose of considering an
offer made by the latter cowpony "to purchase and redeem the rent
and moiety of surplus profits " nnder the Dunstable and London and
Birmingham Railway Act-in other words, for the purchase of the
line. The following are, in effect, the terms of the offer : The Lon-
don and North Western Company to pay the expenses of every das-
cription incurred be the Uneatable Railway Company, including
the coat of obtaining the act, the interest paid to shareholders on de-
mein, and cans; and also to satisfy all debts and liabilities which had
been incurred. Payment to be made as soon as the amount had been
ascertained. and the sale and redemption confirmed by a meeting of
the North Western Company. Mr. Elba, in moving the acceptance
of the offer, said that, in his opinion, it was highly beneficial.
When the company was first started, it was intended to take a tan.
nage of 4.3. per ton per mile, but by the act power was only given to
levy Id. per ton. Under sash eircumatzinces, it wasnot likely that mote
than 1 per cent. could ever be obtained from the working of the line.
Captain Mangles, MX., seconded the motion, which was carried,
there being only one dissentient voice.
PROVINCIAL —SCOTTISH CENTRAL.-A special gene.
cal meeting of the proprietors of the Scottish Central Railway was
held on Tuesday, in the Council-hall, Perth, for the purpose of cond.
• &ring an agreement entered into by the directors with the London
and North Western, Lancaster and Carlisle, and Caledonian Railway
Companica, fur a lease in perpetuity of the Scottish Control Railway,
and its branches and works, to these companies. Major Moray Stir-
ling, of Abeerairny, who occupied the chair, detailed at some length
I the circumstances which had taken place in regard to the agreement,
1 and concluded by requesting the secretary to read the report, from
which it appeared that overtures made to the directors for a union of
I interests between the company and the London and North Western,
the Lancaster and Carlisle, and Caledonian Companies, had led to
negotiations, the result of which was, that an agreement had been
concluded (aulnect to -she approbation of the shareholders), for a
perpetual lease of the Central Railway and its branches to these arm-
, fiant, on the following terms, viz. : -The guaranteed rent to be
, 71,4002. sterling per 111111l11:11, being 7 per cent, on 1,020,0001., as

to be payable half-yearly thermfter. The money required to complete
and stock the line and its branches to be bonowed and the interest on

panies; and debited against the profits before they shall be divided.

addition to these terms the proprietors to receive interest until the
opening of the main line at 4 pet cent. on 210,0001. from the let July,
1917, being In lieu of the profit which might be expected to a Ire nom
any partial opening of the railway. The resolution, adopted on the
26th of August last, authorising the creation of new stock to the
amount of 170,000/., to be rescinded. Mr. Campbell, of Monocle,
begged to ask if it was intended to finish the branches at the came
time with the main line. The chairman, in reply, stated that the
branches would certainly be forwarded with all due expedition, as the
success of the main line depended in a great measure upon them. Mr.
George Gray asked if the "completion of the line" included the com-
pletion of the tunnel likewise. The chairman replied in the affirma-
tive, and stated that the whole line, tunnel and all, would be completed
and opened in March, 1846. Two resolutions, in approval of the
course adopted by the directors, were then moved by Mr. Belthee, of
Invermay, and Mr. Campbell, of Muncie, seconded by Provost Wright
and Mr. Bum banker, , and carried unanimously. After a vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated.
MANCHESTER, MIDLAND, AND GREAT GRIMSBY Juac-
rms.—Yesterday, a general special meeting of the shareholders in this
undertaking was held at the company's offices, Rotherham, for the
purposcof determining whether the company should be dissolved, and
to submitthe accsunts, and the report of the provisional directors. As
it was generally understhod that the directors had Incurred a very
large outlay, a stormy meeting was anticipated. John Aldred, Esq.,
the chairman of the board of directors, presided; and Messrs. Wig-
field, Hoyle, and Guest, were Dominated scrutineer& The report of the
directors entered at length into the proceedings which had given rise
to the position in which the company was placed—that of having
been unsuccessful in their application to Parliament during the
last session, owing to the committee of the House of Lords having
given a preference to the line proposed by the Sheffield and Lin-
colnshire Junction Company, to the opposition offered by which com-
pany it was, that their heave parliamentary expenditure was attri-
butable. They advised the an/elution of the company, so far as
e out the line of last year went, but recommended to the
shareholders the prosecution of a line from Masbrough to Doncaster,
a distance of twelve miles, for which they had caused a survey to be
made, and which they found could be completed at a cost of 270,001.
For this line no tunnelling would be required, and the gradients were
extremely favourable. The treasurer's amounts showed that a deposit
of 11 7s. 6d. per share had been paid on 31,220 sharesoehtch amounted
to 42,927/. 10s. The expenditure amounted to 27,831/. Is. Ild., the
engineering, surveying, &c., having cost 7,3421. Is., the parliamentary
expenses being 9,4881. Is. 9d. ; and the expenses of witnesem in
Lonuon, with travelling, &c., upwards of 6,0001. There was a tralanoe
in band of 15,076!. le. ld. ; but as there were liabilities to the amount
of 8,0311. 14e. Id., the sum to be returned to the shareholders WWI
reduced to 7,024/.loe. The recommendation of the directors was that
those who joined the new company should receive one 231. share in
=of every 241. which they held in the old one, or, in other words,
shareholder who secededfrom theold company would receive lea.
per share, while those who Jained the new company would have topay
