MEET NG S.—KILLARNEY J SC-f I ON.--G ENERAL MEET-
Dsc. 10.--The directors' le sort that the extreme depression of
the railway market during told only temporarily diminished the
value of their shares, and did not retard the ultimate seers of the
undertaking. All the company's bills are paid can't the Irish soli-
citors', furnished only n few days before, and under the consideration
of the board. The ewes of receipts over expenditure has been vested
in government clack. The works will be commenced early in spring.
It will not be neceaary to call up more that: 21. 7s. on each share in
1047.—The report of the engineer, Sir John Macneill, is as follows :
"I have precersled with the laying out and surveying the line of time
Killarney Junction Railway, for the purpose of r emu ins the working
plans. The plans and specifications of the first contract, being the
Mist ten miles from Killarney, towards Mill-street, are complete, m
that the usual advertisement a toe tenders may be published whin
you think prover. The second contract is nearly couiplatee, and my
assistants are laying out the remaining portion of the line from Mill-
street, to Its junction with the Great Southern and Western Railway,
near Mallow. I have found it advisable to make a very few trifling
alierutions, within the limits of deviation, from the nuffiamentary
plans, but the few that I have made improve the line, and u;:l tend to
diminish the cost of the work. 1 have before n.e thesvot kir.g plans of
the heaviest portion of the line, and it Ow, me much satisfaction to
be able to state, that notwithstanding the increase in wages and price
of materials, which has taken place within the last six months, the
works can be completed within my original estimate. The works ow the
remaining part of the line which has not yet been finally laid out, are
very light, so that I have no doubt whatever, that tbe mire line can be
completed, and opened for traffic, by the time that the Great
Southern and Western is open toMalow, and within the poilLamentary
estimate; and when the moderate cost of the construction of
your line, and the very great passenger traffic that you will un-
doubtedly have, are talon into consideration, there can be no ques-
tion that the undertaking will be a highly, remunerative one to the
shareholder." The abstractMao:punts stowed a total of receipts,
31,2841. tie. 7i1.; of expenditure, 13,7541. Its. lid. Of the balance of
24,521 W. les. 041. there is invested in Government Stock, 23,0111.

After some discussion it was unanimously It/wired, "That the di-
rectors shall, if possible, proceed to parliament during the ensuing
session, but if they are unable to obtain a further subscription before
the 31st inst. then the scheme should be postponed till next session,
and the directors are hereby directed to take immediate sieps to
compel all the provisional committee and directors who have not paid
their subscriptions to do so ut once."
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—THE Sroun VALLEY is

terms are 45 per cent. on the capitol to be expended, and a division
of the profits after that sum.
SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTEII RAILWAY.—WHALET-
BASOOF BIANCTI.—The fist and of this branch was cut on Friday,
the 15th inst., by F. D. P. Ashler, Erg., with the usual forenoon

at IMkintield, and parses through Hyde, Morph., and other places, to
Mlialey-bridge, a distance of 12 miles, and it then conthmes for about
three miles further to Hayfield. At Whailey-briitge it will be con-
nected with the Cromfull and Manchester and Buxton, Matlock, and
Midland Railways. The portion ol the line a: tar as I lvde will, it is
expected, be opened in the course of next summer, and the rem:tinder
in about two yenta from the present time. There rue several very
heavy works on the line, but the principal one will be that of the
crossing over the river Wrier, near the Simple viaduct. Mr. A. T.
Jee, the engineer of the line, has completed his plans, and the VOW
tracts base lien entered into far the performance of the works by
Mere. Miller and Blacker.
THE LOCOMOTIVE tiTAIILISHMENT AT Asitronn.—The

being erected was originally a hollow, the surface rising in the dim-
