GREATWEISTERN RAILWAY OTCANADL.—Tilerecev
haff.yearly report of the director having caused much du.
ratifianion among the shareholders living in Birmingham,.
meeting was convened by advertisement, and held on Than.
day, at the offices of Mr. B. Cheshire, solicitor, Temple-
row. Mr. Cherhire was called to the chair. After on.
adorable discussioe, it was proposed by Mr. Harrison, and
seconded by Mr. Bodily, that the following remonetranou
be forwarded to the board of directors :—•• 1. It appearing
from paragraph 12 in the report that the directors still
entertain the question of an amalgamation with the Grand
Trunk Railway, and this meeting being fully conviood
that the position of the two oompanns is so widely
different that it is quite impossible it could be effected
upon any terms without endangering the ruin of the Great
Western, as reference to the financial position, the state
of the flack and condition of the rolling stock of the Grand
Trunk will convince any one, therefore it is hoped the qua
Lieu of amalgamation will be altogether abandoned. 2nd.
That the late attempt to obtain a bill from the Canadian
parliament for this object has created a want of confidence
in the directors, and this meeting wanders that the pro.
visional agreement, signed by the board in contemplation of
such amalgamation, ought to be disclosed to the dais
holders. 3rd. That this meeting has read with alarm the
report of Mr. Sharp, the car superintendent, from which it
appears that upwards of fifty carriages end cars have been
entirely broken up during the past half year as unfit for
further service ; and it having been stated that the rolling
stock of the Great Western has been used over the Grid
Trunk line during the put winter, and no reference been
made to it in the report, it is felt that some explanation of
such unprecedented damage should be given by the bard."

THE COLLIERY ON FIRE AT WIOAN.—The efforte
which have hitherto been made to extinguish the firs is
Messrs. Mercer and Evans's High Brook Colliery, Park-lane,
near Wigan, have been unsuccessful. At the end of last
week, the covering of the down-cast .haft, the one nearest
to the four-feet mine in which the accident clocurred, was
blown up by an explosion of gas, and since then expiates
has succeeded explosion with startling rapidity—oo Wad
nesday morning, for instance, no fewer than seven taking
place. It has thus been impossible to keep an airtight
covering on the downcast pit, but the boarding over the up.
cast shaft remained firm till Wednesday, when it am
scattered in all directions by a rush of more than
ordinary force. Another plan is now beiog tried to
extinguish the fire—a large quantity of stain being
thrown into the down-cast shaft, which ha. *Can
been closed. This, it is expected, will pass Woa,
that portion of the workings where the fire exists, and will
drive before it the smoke through the uposat pit. If a current
of steam can thus be sent through the pit, it is hoped, should
no further explosions take place, to subdue the fire in snort
time, and check further destroctioo of property. its
believed, however, that the fire has not reached the Eve-fed
seam, which is very extensive, but is confined to till
four-feet mine in which it originated, and to the yard sal,
adjacent seam.
