OXFORD, WORCESTER, AXD IVOLVER-
HAMP7'ON RAILWA Y.

A special general meeting of the proprietors in the
above company was held yesterday at the London Tavern.
Colonel RUSHOCT took the chair.
. .

The SECBITARY read the notice convening the meeting.
The C/SAIRMAN said the object of the meeting was to
take into consideration the bill before parliament. This
was composed of three measures, but two only of these the
directors proposed to the shareholders to prosecute. The
Steurbridge Extension line was one which nobody at all ac-
quainted with Stourbridgc could require any information to
satisfy them as to its desirnbleness. It was one mile, two
furlong•, and two chains in length. It would connect the
line at Stoarbridge with the town, the cost of which was
estimated at 30,0001. It was a line the directors unani-
mously advised them to proceed with. Another line
was the Kingswibford Branch, two miles, three fur-
-1 longs, fire chains in length. This branch was
originally contemplated by a bill of the year 1845.
Now, an addition was made to that line of five furlongs;
therefore, in the whole, it was three mike long, the esti-
mated cost of which would be 85,000/. This the directors
also advised them to carry out, as it would touch very rich
mineral districts, and went to Oak Farm. He (the chair-
man) now came to the Stratford Exicusion Bill. That, for
several reasons, it was not considered advisable to pursue.
The resolution was put and carried, and a vote of
thanks having been passed to the chairman, the meeting se-
, paratcd.
