PROVINCIAL.-MALDON, WITHAM, AND BRAINTREE.
--SALE TO THE EASTERN Cucvrta COHYAN v.—%cvderday'a Meeting
of this company was held at the White Hart Inn, Witham, Essex, to
consider a provisional agreement made with the Eastern Counties
Company for the sale of the:intended railway. The Rev. Sir J. Page
Wood, Bart. presided. Mr. Blood, the aceretary.read a report
from the directors which stated that the Eastern Counties Board
had offered to purchase the line on the following terms :—To pay all
the expenses in relation to the undertaking, provided the same do
not exceed 6,300/. ; and adopt the agreements already made with the
landowners; to pay a bonus of DS. per share on all shares sent Into
the Eastern (booties Conipanv' provided not less than 7,000 Pheres
shill be sent in ; and to make the proposed railway from Maldnn
Witham and Braintree, and open it for traffic within is mouths. The
directors' after expressing their confidence in the complete success of
the undertaking, and complimenting the Eastern Counties Company
for the mode in which they had acted throughout, concluded by
strongly recommending that the proprietors should accept the
terms offered. In answer to a question the Chairman stated that
those proprietors who may refuse to sell their share, on the terms
above-mentioned, will be at perfect liberty to continue their con-
nexion with the undertaking, takingof course a share of the liability
on their shoulders. Mr. Bunting, of London, spoke at some ten h,
contending that the terms offered were much too low. Indeed he
thought they were Justly entitled to a premium of M. After some
friendly discussion on the point, the report was unanimously
adopted, ea was a formal resolution confirming the agreement made
with the Eastern Counties Directors. An allowance of 201. was
then voted to each of the directors, aa remuneration for their past
services.

LIVERPOOL, ORmsmax, AND PRESTON.—The first gene-
, red meeting was said on Wednesday at Liverpool. About fifty gentle-
men were present. Sir William FelMen, Bart., occupied the chair.
Mr. Graham, the secretary, read the report. The directors referred
to the keen opposition which had been offered to the undertaking at
every stage, and expressed satisfaction at the success which hap
attended their measures. They acknowledge the assistance rendered
to them by the East Lancashire Company, and state their conviction
of the necessity to renew, in the ensuing amnion of parliament, the ap-
plication for a branch to Southport The brief period which
had elapsed Mem the passing of the Act had not enabled
the directors to collect the account., and present a state-
ment of the expenditure up to the present time, which,
with every due regard to economy, from the opposition which
they have had to encounter, must nocessarily be considerable. The
report was unaniramoly adopted. Directors and auditors were
elected. This ended the business of the first meeting. At two o'clock
an extraordinary general meeting was held, for the purpose of consi-
dering the propriety of amalgamating with the East Lancashire Com-
pany. The same parties were present, and Sir William Feiklen again
occupied the chair. The chairman expressed himself in favour of the
proposed amalgamation. They had been, he said, only successful at
the eleventh hour in parliament. They had powerful antagonists, but
by perseverance, great exertion, and skill, and with the assistance of
the East Lancashire Company, all opposition had been overcome. Ile
gave It as his firm opinion that they would not haveboen so successful
but for the influence which the latter company had exercised.
Mr. Lloyd read the section., of the act relative to amalgamation;
and, In answer to a question from Mr. Blair, it was stated that an
extraordinary general meeting of the East Lancashire shareholders
was to be held on the 2nd October, for the purpose of sanctioning, on
their part, the amalgamation. It would require the consent of three-
fifths. The Chairman then formally moved the amalgamation, which
was duly seconded, and carried without a single dissentient voice.
The terms of amalgamation are: " First—The Liverpool, Ormakirk,
and Preston Railway is to be united with the Earl Lancashire Line,
and the East Lancaehire Company arc to take upon themselves the
debts, liabilities and engagements of the Liverpool, Orniskirk, and
Preston Company. Second.—The East Lancashire Railway Company
are to raise an additional capital of 750,0001., for the execution of the
Liverpool, Ormokirk, and Preston Railway, to be divided into 25/.
sharer, being the same amount of capital, and the same number of
shares so are authorised to be raised and created by the L.iserpoot,
Ormekirk, and Preston Company. These shares are to be distributed
amongst the shareholders of the latter company; and as the whole of
the Orruskirk Company's capital has not been appropriated, the abate-
holders will be entitled to seven East Lancashire shares for every six
shoes now held by them in the Liverpool, Ormakirk, and Preston
Company. Credit will be given by the East Lancashire Company for
the sum of 2/. Inn, per share already paid, and the new shares will be
entitled to dividends upon the amount paid after the same rate, and
will be placed in all respects upon an equality with Fart Lancashire
share, Four of the directors of the Liverpool, Onnskirk, and Pre.-
ton Conipany, will take seats at the Fast Lancashire board, exclusive
