RAILWAY NEWS.

Yesterday. WU the settlement of the account in
shares and scrips. The fear of further failures has not been
verifird, which the extraordinary fluctuations in prices had
caused. The market was geed, and dealings active, with a
certain rise in prices. The Bears, it is said, had oversold
themselves.
The business in the Liverpool share-market was but very
moderate, and quotations were only in a few instances a
shade better than on Thursday. Midland Stock was done
at 12fi. There was also a better demand for Edinburgh
and Glasgow. Huddersfield and Manchester were 3 pm. ;
Oxford and Birmingham steady at 9 to 91 pm.
The Manchester market was rather animated to-day, and
prices have been well maintained, and a fair amount of busi-
ness transacted.
The improvement noticed in the market at Birmingham
on Thursday was still observable, and prices were the turn
better. Stour Valleys were done at 21 pm. ; Dudley. at
51 pm.; Buckingnanishires, j pm. ; North Staffer& 31 pm.;
Shrewsbury and Birminghams at If, and Shropshire Unions
13s. 9d. dis.; North British Extension scrip realised j pm.
At Leeds there was an increased business transacted, sad
prices were rather firmer. North Staffords were done at
31 pm., and North-Westerns were in demand at 10s. pm.
At Bristol the tone of the market was firmer, although the
indisposition which still prevailed to sell unless at full prices,
limited the amount of business done. Manchester and
Leeds Extensions closed at 11 to 11 pm. Bristol Water-
works, a pm.; Caledonian halve., j din. ; Eastern Counties

Wey, Jan. en —Mr. Deplete In the chain—A report wn. read
announcing the resignation of Mr. alicholeme, managing
director (en manager), horn 111-health. It also elated that the
traffic upon In portion of the line at present opened left mo
reasonable doubt of the complete .1,0011111 of the under.
taking. The wedge on the Ormskirk line had been contracted for;
the works on the Blackbran and Caine had been Impeded by the
weedier, bat it was expected would be completed by the end
of the year. A call would be made upon the 141. ohms
of 31. in March, and of 21. 10e. on the shores on which .51. was paid.—
The Chairman dated, in answer to quer-nets, that the remaining
cane lawn the Mares on which 51. wan pad, wetild be made about
every duce month.. and that no (thither cells would be on
those on which 201. was paid, till the taints were called up to the
same amount. Revolutions were parsed, mintioning the report, re-
*pethidine the retiring directory, and reducing the salary of the
directors from 1,7501. to 1,2001. (the 1,000/. a year to Mr. Nicholson
having been given up by that gentleman). An extraindinarpineetang
(allowed, but the bwinom was only formal. The bills of the projects

Sunday travelling was made b 3 Mr. Greif, but ultnnately withdrawn.
BIUNINGIIAN AND DUDLEY CANAL.9.—HrtI I early
Meeting, Jan. 20.—Mr. R. Scott, M.P., in the chain—A dividend of
21. per 'bare for the half-year was declared. The concern was re-
ported to be in an exceedingly dowelling date, the revenue for the
bet six months having been no lira than 83,3201. elk ojd. This ecim-
pony having an interest in the Stour Valley Railway, the leaning of
that line to the London and North Western Compel was referred to
in the report ; and erroneous notices relative thereto having appeared
in name of the morning papers, the extract is here presented entire:
" Your committee beg to inform the proprietors that term, far eleate
of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stow Valley Railway have
been agree upon between the directors of that employ end flow
of ;he London and North Western Company ; whereby the capital

this company is to be entitled toe proportionate share in all new stock
hereafter to be created by the London and North-Western Company.
—ln the courre of some &nervations with reference to Ode kw, the
chairman said the terms were not altogether aatiefeetory to him, but
that he hoped it would yield tij per cent on the capital embarked in
the undertaking.
IPswirtt, Bray, AND NORWICH.—JAN. 29. NW-
yearly Meetaig.—J. C. Cobbuld, Esq., in the chain—The secretary
read the directors' report, of which the moot important statements
were as follows:—The directors have not seen any grounds for doubt-
ing that the policy of amalgamating with the Pastern Union is
sound, and that the pemendon of the line between Ipswich end Col-
chester ia most Important to the future interests of the company, and
has been obtained on terms that will pr ire advantageous tolbeir reve-
nue and resources. A petition for an act to carry out the agreement

to the meeting, but the period that has dapped once the
opening of the railway to Bury tit. &Immune, although abort,
justifies the directors in stating that the traffic mtisfactorily
realizes all their expectation, and is progreedvely increasing.
Mr. Shefto Adair resigned hie seat ut the board room after the lent
half -yearly meeting, and Mr. Hart, of Stowmarket was elected to fill
the meaner. An experienee has proved it to be advantageous In many
circumstances to convert borrowed money into capital, the directors
have determined to propose for the co epany's unction to convert
133,3337. o( money taken on lean in Cue woe. II the powers they
seek are given, the shares will he leaned by them upon a very man
amount of depoeit, and no further call will be made on them for three
years. The directory will offer these new Mares exclusively to the
proprietors of Ipswich and Bury charm, as 'Updated by them in the
amalgamation. There le another arrangement which the direators
brought before the meeting. They propose to make a limited amount
of perpetual 11. per cent. guaranteed stole, to carry out a conditional
agreement with the Norwich and Dereham and Wenenm Valley Dam-
p/mice of • former year. These companies have both given their
.upport and influence to the extension line beyond Norwich, which
the directors have applied for leave to make. The plane, and other
property that meld be made available, have been delivered over to
the company at a low cold; but the sherehelders of there companies
have emulated fur the privilege of electing at en early period,
between a guaranteed 51. per cent. stock, or a share [deem in
the company. The teem:its up to the present time have

man, in moving that the report be adopted, mid, the team on
line bad exceeded their expectations. On comparing it with
traffic on itimilar linen, he found that it was equal, if not superior.
With reference to linos In that neighbourhood, he would refer them
to the Norwich and Yarmouth line, on ite opening in 1843. In Mart h
of that year, whet wee a much better period for railway traffic than
the present, he found, by referring to th. it receipts for one week was
only 2311., whilst on the Ipswich and Bury, for the third week it net,
opened, amounted to 4311.—at n time, too, when they could not fully
develop their traffic. he directors have made arrangements for (math

CALEDONIAN AND DEMBAIITONSIIIRE JUNCTION.—Spe.
riot General Meeting, Jan. 27,—Alex. Smollett, q., M.P., in the chair.
The meeting wax held in Glasgow, for the" purpose of cowl 'ering the
term. of the lease between thin company and the Caledonian Railway-,
and to consider a bill to enable the company to make certain alterations
in the line." The ant retary read the report, which sorted "That the
directors wished the knee Mould be in peril laity Juan-Ado( seven years'
duration (an originally prop: red), subject to the condition that an
option be referred to the Caledonem Company to give notice at any
time, within flee years of the opening of the line throughout, of the
determination of the lease on the expiry of seven years; but if
no mob notice be given by the Caledonian Company within the five
ye ar% then the lease to be perpetual ; the guarantee to he 3 per cent
rim annum, payable halt-yearly." The report elm dated that the
directors had endeavoured to do away with the break altogether and
make the lease perpetual ; and had they chain this it wan their full
intention to recommend its adoption to the meeting. Thia proposal
wan slim repeated by the Caledonian Comiany. The report then re-
ferred to the deviation and branches which the directors haul applied
to the Ileum of Commons for power to make. The Chairman middle
meeting bad been called for the purpose of adopting or rejecting the
team to the Calesconian Company. The directors of the Cale-
donian Compeny having refused to eannede • very important
point, namely, • break of the agreement at the end ef
teem years ; and also the privilege of at once making the
knee perpetual having been refused ; the directors have con-
sidered the remaining terma, and given the subject their ear-
nest ermaideration, and under all circumstances of the cam, they
have unman:limply arrived at the conclusion that they cannot mom-
'need the adoption of the mowed terms of the bane. But the
directors leave the matter th the bands of the sharebokiers, and in so
doing, the directors feel confident they are mending it to thew
whom det 'don will lead to the adoption of the course which will be
most conducive to the permanent interest of this promising liar. He
then proposed " That the draft of the bill now submitted be a
proved of and pealed, amid remitted to the directors to approve or or

M. de l'Espee in the chair. H. louduu, the secretary, read the
report "The document comments, by giving an amount of the
suomesive expenditure incurred for the cordtruction end establish-
ment of the line, as brought before previous general meetings. The
expenees up to Sept. 30, 1844, had been 51,783,5901 r. 72e., from
which were to be deducted 802,18G7e. 89e. for interest received
during the execution of the works, thus reducing the real expendi-
ture to 50.921,404 fr. 83c. The resource" of the company were-
-Ist 36,000,000 fr. of social capital; and Idly, 14,00,000 h. lent

1,297,871 fr. 240. ; or that the whole deficiency was at that period
2,119,077 fr. 7e. As early am that time, it woo evident to the booed of
directors that the toms of 4,000000 fr., lent by the state for den aging
half the cost of the passage through Haven by the Havre Rail wan,
would be inadequate. The additional mum required was estimated at
1,700001 r.; the augmentation of stock that would be called fen by
the opening of the Havre line wan estimated at 1,500,U0Ufr.; the ex-
pense of the projected branch lines of Louvicrs and Elbeuf

into as conapvison of the receipts and expenditure of the last six
months of 1846 .m 4111141, from which it appears that the receipts for
passengers have somewhat fallen off. One of thymuses of thin moult,
the report says, was the opening of the northern line, which took
away • certain portion of the lamas coming from England. The
winter also had been exceedingly rigorous, which in itself was always
en obstacle to travelling. In ad Otion to this, the Prim of food
being AU high, would naturally muse the more humble clamea to
think of procuring the ousissaries of life before expending
money for other pmposes, and particularly travelling. The
report referred to the lucid the Havre line not bring yet opened, as
had been expected. That eircumotince, It said, was not to be au f-
linty! to that company, but to the government authorities, who had
Insisted on such extraordinary trials of dead weight. These triah
were now over, that of the viaduct of Mirville baring finished that
day, and it was certain no line bad ever opened in any country
with its works In • higher state of pert ction. Had the open-
ing of that line taken place three months back, o large supply
of provisions would have been brought to Paris, in place of
being taken to England. Three was nu doubt that bread-
stuffs would also hare arrived in large quantities from America,
had it been known that the Havre line was open to carry
them into the centre of the country. The hoe was now
ready to be opened, ea soon as the rolling trials were eon-
