RAILWAY NEWS.

With rather a larger quantity of transactions which
may be reported, although of no great amount in bulk per-
haps, shares and scrips were yesterday undeniably looking
downwards in price with very few exceptions, as will be
shown by the official list. Oxford and Cambridge were more
firm. trench lines, in despite of the efforts of powerful
parties with objects of their own to improve demand and prices,
found no favour; the market for them, as the sporting folks
would say, was nowhere. People are not yet brought to
apprehend the peculiarly profitable attractions of lines, like
that of du Nord, with a lease of 39 years only to run. East
India lines come in for their share of depression. The great
delay of the East India hoard in coming to a decision about
the degree of patronage and guaranteed interest to be
afforded to one or more of these hues, if indeed the question
be not disposed of negatively, begins to exhaust the patience
of holders.
At Liverpool, London and North-Western stock closed
firmer than on Thursday ; and Chester and Birkenhead were
also higher, but the business generally was no better.
The Manchester market was heavy and inactive: prices
without change.
The Birmingham market was somewhat firmer, and stock
in the local lines more inquired after. There were sales in
the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley, at 335. 9d. p.;
and in the Stour Valley at 21s. 3d. p. ; there were also trans-
actions in Shrewabury scrip at 6s. 3d. p., and in registered
ditto at I p.
There was rather more business done at Leeds, and prices
were a shade higher, though the sale* still continued limited.

offices in Guildhall.buildings ; James Fadaile, Esq., in the chair,
when a resolution was parised far empowering the directors to sell the
shares forfeited at a previous meeting, and the banners terminated.
GLOUCESTER, ABERYSTWITH, AND CENTRAL WALES.—
A meeting of scripholders in this company took place yesterday at the
London Tavern, for the purpose of taking measures to dissolve the
company. The only director who showed himself at the meeting was
the on. Captain Berkeley, M.P., who was voted to the chair. From
the statements made it appeared that the company was to have been
composed of 50,000 shams, but only 28,000 odd had been issued. Mr.
Clarke stated that the receipts were .10,800/., and that the actual dis-
bursements and liabilities would amount to about 25,000/. One item of the
receipts was 16,000/. (=investment.) A reripholder wished the chairman
to say if this were • investment, and what sort of an investment.
The chairman • that it was an investment in scrip. (Loud
laughter.) scripholder said he supposed this was the scrip
that was to be used against them when trying to dissolve the com-
pany. (Hear.) He called at the office, and was told as moth; for •
gentleman there said they misfit attempt to dissolve, but they would

tinuing. He could not my who it was, only that it was • tall gentle.
man in a brown coat. (Laughter.) The chairman declared very
frankly that this investment (!!) was made before he entered the com-
pany, and on learning of it, he questioned whether he could remain
in any longer; but he thought, from his awn persona mom., he
might improve the position of the company. (Hear.) A resolution
was csrried, with only one dimentient, that the strip purchased with
this 16,00M.should not be used on the cowed= of dissolution. The
chairman mw no intention to use it. He said it was safely lodged in
the strong boa at the care, sad the key was at his residence. Several
violent remarks were made against some of the ex-directon, and also
against the unwire bawd. Muth confusion 'pervaded the wholP or the

suftl:icnt under the act, the neetillg Wan nd,inunled till FritLY next,
ut which the hon. CkipL Berkeley promised to take the chair. Before
the meeting separated,a vote of thanks wan proved to the chairman
for his frank expituistions during the meeting.

PROVINCIAL. IMPORTANT SALE OF RAILWAY
sroex.—A very important vale of railway stock has taken place at Li-
verpool. It coniisted M 120 ahem In the Manchester, Bolton, and Rory
Canal Navigatirm and Railway Company, on which 931. has been
paid, 420 fifths ditto, and 360extenidons ditto, on which I/. and 21. 2a.
have been paid respectively. This company, as the railway world are
aware, is now amalgamated with the Manchester and Leer* and the
shares, which are the property of the company, were sold in pursuance
of a revolution adopted at the hot meths* th • proprietor. held So an
indetamdent body, which took place in Manchester on the 29th ultimo.
The proceeds to be divided moot the Proprietors of the 6,081 then
registered old abates. Ibrears.Thasams Winwanley and Sons were the
auctioneers ; and there was a large attendance, among whom were
many broken. The conditions of tale were, that the 120 shares should
be put up in single lota, the purchaser to have the option of talong live
shares, but no more; 10 per cent. depocrit to be paid to the auctioneer,
and the remainder of the purchase money on the 22nd instant, at the
office of the company in t-alford, when the ccrtincatea will be ready
for deliviry. I-or the Fifths and Extensions the conditions were the
same, except that the purchaser might take any number of a art, not
less than S, nor more than 20 A broker asked whether the 120 shares
would be entitle I to the bonus( which attached to the shares that
might be bought in the market! Mr. Ilerbviliire (law clerk to the
company) replied in the negative. In reply to other questions he
stated that the fifths would not be entitled to the dividend on the Is
October. At Christina.. the whole shares would receive 3/. 4a., and
afterwards rateably with the Leeds Company. I If. more had been
paid on the whole shares than on thine of the Leeds Oampany. The
bidding. for the whole shares commenced at 103 and won race to 113,
at which price 39 shares were sold ; all the rent went for 1141., the
buyers being principally Liverpool broken acting for principals. Two
lots of the filth,, of 20 shares each, were sold at 61. 10.., three at
W. 17s. Gd.; all the rest at IL, except one lot for 71. 2e. 6d., also to
brokers principally. The chairman of the late company, Mr. James
Brancker, was one of the purchasers of this Mock. Then followed the
extensions, which, it was stated, although nominally 201. sharee,woutd
be only 161. in the Leeds Company. The mice, obtained were 3/. 2a. 6d.
and 3/. ss. The competition was not very lively, and the prices were
scarcely so high so conned tote anticipated, being a shad^ lower than
those quoted in the lists of the day. The following is an analysis of
the stile from our own notes

From this result it appears that, without did tlw amount to be
called up, the sum to be returned to the proprietors of the
old shares will be a considerable fraction less than 31. per share.
