WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—A meet-
ing of the shareholders of this company was held on Mon-
day last, in the council chamber, town-hall, J. T.
Medlicott in the chair. This meeting was specially con-
vened fur the purpose of the shareholders sanctioning the
bill which has passed the House of Commons, and awaits a
second reading in the House of Lords. The solicitor read
rill the sections, which arc numerous, authorising certain
deviations in the line, and to amend the acts relating
thereto, and other purposes ; also another hill, now similarly
pending in the House of Lords, relating to the Waterford and
Kilkenny Railway Company, to enable the mid company to
sell or lease their undertaking, and to purchase or lease the
bridge to Waterford, by arbitration of members of either
company, with a government umpire. The chairman moved
that the bill which they had heard read he alopted. The
motion was seconded by Dr. T. L. Mackesy. Mr. E. Power,
Trainore, suggested that as an act of parliament was now
about being passed to have Wexford bridge free, the same
might be applied to Waterford bridge, which would confer
a great boon on the inhabitants of the contiguous counties.
Several bridge proprietors replied that the county and city
grand jurors were at any time empowered to effect this
object by the Bridge Act. The original resolution was
ad?Joted, and the meeting separated.
LLTNVI VALLEY RAILWAY.—A special meeting of
the shareholders of this company was had on Tuesday, at
the offices, 449, West Strand, for the purpose of considering
the draft of a bill now before parliament, and fur confirming
the forfeiture of certain shares. Sir R. l'rice was in the
chair. The forfeiture of the shares (640 in number) having
been confirmed, it was stated that it was proposed by the
hill to reduce the capital from 250,000/. to 125,0001., and to
consolidate the whole of the shares into one description of
stock, and to make no further calls on the proprietors • that
for the purpose of settling tile dispute with the South Wales
Company, 6,300/. be subscribed to the undertaking; the
Llyavi Company should pay them 4,5001. in bonds, payable
in tire years, at l per cent. ; the borrowing powers of the
company to be reduced from 0,0001. to 20,0001. The bill
was sanctioned, and a vote of thanks having been given to
the chairman, the meeting broke up.
MERIONETHSHIRE SLATE COMPANY.—Yesterday,
at a meeting in this matter before his Honour Sir William
Horne, the case of Mr. Stephen blooper, who had paid the
deposit on his shares, which had bean forfeited by the direc-
tors, was taken. Counsel for the official manager contended
that the forfeiture was not in conformity with the deed,
but the Master held otherwise, and struck Mr. Hooper's
name off the list ; and the names of about 40 other share-
s holders will be struck off as the 'lsn't of the decision.

FATAL EFFECTa OF LIOIITNING.—TIto neighbour-
hood of Yarmouth was visited on Saturday se'nnight by
a severe tempest, which inflicted considerable damage
upon a marsh mill situated at Toft Monks, near the seven-
mile house, on the Beech. river. Four young men were
eel-ineking in the neighbourhood, two of whom resorted
for shelter to the seven-mile house, while the other two
took r.fuge in the mill. The former wero standing with
their hacks to the fire-place, when the explosion of the
clout took place. They. were forced violently against each
other, but received no Injury. On proceeding to the door
they beheld the mill-sails dashed to pieces, and on entering
the mill they discovered the bodies of their companions
apparently lifeless OD the floor, their fates and the greater
part of their bodies blackened by tko sulphurous exhale-
tien. One of them soon recovered, but his companion
revived only for a short time, his last words being that " he
felt he must shortly die." He was a fine powerful young
man, by name Edmund Pettingill, about 25 or 28 years of
age. He has left a young wife, to whom he had been
united but five or six months. The mill, it apppeeaasen,, was
*0 property of the family, and is said to be ured.—
