with the gentlemen preeent on the condition Into which the united

with the district between Bendel and Liverpool, from the demeaned'
that coal VSA verricaree between Manchester and Carlisle That
was, no doubt, a limate object, but the want of unanimity anoest
the promoters of several line* bad brought the company Into its
present difficulties. Ile recommended that they should ea.
believer to get . rid of the heavier pert of the works,
from Tebay to Bishop Auckland, which would cost two millions, cad
also of the simultaneous clause, which required them to invest their
property equally upon the three lime, and thus protracting the period
when the lines might become profitable: and he intimated that there

Railway C. mpany) ready to take a large portion of it off their hand,
But in order to effect those ob}ects it would be neerhary to have
another act of parliament, and he sirs of opinion that at the salmi
meeting neat week they should moire le stay all farther prooredlaw,
to make no further calls, and that they should Instruct the dinettes
to dispom of that part of undertaking to which he had referred at
a fair price, and to }cams the other if they could get wiz per out or
upwards, and to adjourn the manta, for three months in order to
enable those objects to be effected. He recommended that that police
of the line between With and nodule, w hien was likely to be my
profitable, should be completed without delay. He coselsded by
moving, " That in the opinion of the meeting it mu enpedleot tast

the terms of an agreement that had been entered into in Octobw ISM,
between the Waveney Paltry eharehothers and the Norfolk Railway
Company, whereby the latter engaged. in con'lderlition of canes
advantages afforded them by the Waveney Valley Company, to wise
to them 11,00 e shares In the Norfolk line, with a priority OM all
the other share., and to pay
W likewise the man el sow,
es a bonus to the original aveney Valley shareholders.
The report proceeded to state that neither of these engagements had
been fuWed by the Norfolk Company, the Ent having bees annulled
by the claims whirls contained the stipulation having bees Ann
nut of the act, nit was not in conformity with the standing ordrrs.
The second part of the agreement, namely, on to the peyrneet of the
3,0001 , had not been completed, owing, as war alleged, to the trer
sure in the money market; and under these cirtulnalancea the ens
notice bad thought it right to Lull a Matting o; ths shserhoklers, is

soother charge for trunk taking was still outstandunt. —After the re.
port was concluded, the Chairman moved that it be reoeired ant
adopted, at the same time expressing his readiness to afford
any information that might be desired.--A loner and extremely
desultory dimension ensued no to the best mode of obtaining the ma.
onetime and stipulated payment from the Norfolk Railway C,rapairy,
MI also as to tine {satire who were entitled to share in the 3.0004

the result at a anctiod meeting, to be culled as soon as eoavenient. It
