Wednesday week at the street door, when she asked her if
she would like to have her balms told. Complainant made
no objection, and invited her to take a cup of tea. While at

that she must put her wedding nag in It, which she did. She
then told her that she must pet the glass awry where no

LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

The report of the directors of this company states
that they have to submit, on the 27th Inst., two subjects of
great impertence to the shareholders namely, the expediency
of leasing the Staines and Wokingham and the Portsmouth
Railways. It also states that the former consists of a double
railway (18 miles in length) tanning out of the company's
Windsor line at Staines, and ending with a junction with
the South Eastern company's Raiding and Reigate line at
Wokingham, and of a short junction railway, now in °GUMS
of construction at Reading, for connecting the South
Eastern Company's system with the narrow gauge lines of
the Great Western Railway. which approach that town from
the north-west. It also comprises the right, granted by per
liameet to the Staines and okinghant Company, of running
over the South Eastern Company's line between Woking-
' hem and Reuling, and of using their stations there. The
South Western Company have for some time past worked
the Staines and Woidngliam line, under a temporary agree-
meat, sad are, therefore, not unacquainted with he resources ;
and It is on a cansideradon of these that the directors have
arrived at the conclusion that an arrangement of a more per-
manent character Is desirable. This railway traverses a
favourite country for reaidence ; • considerable portion of
its traffic pewee, st a scarcely appreciable additional expense,
over the South-Western Company's existing line between
Staines and London, and it opens Reading and the great
convergence of railways at that point to the South-Western
Oa completion of the junction before referred to at
system. Oa
it will also afford the best opportunity of
transmitting goods without change of carriage from or
to London and its cohorts, to or form all points on
the narrow gauge railways now worked by the Great
Western Railway Company. The lease of the Staines and
Wokingham line is proposed to has for 42 years from the 25th
of March, 1858. The rent is to be half of the gross receipts
of the line between Staines and Wokingham, but not less in
any year than 7,0001., this company paying the toll for the
use of the before-mentioned portion of the South Eastern
Company's railway, and retaining the whole of the fares
and rates received for the traffic on that portion. The
grunting and accepting of this lease were sanctioned by
parliament during last melon, subject to the approval of
the shareholders in each company. The terms of the lease
have been Approved by the Staines and Wokingham Com-
pany, and the directors now recommend the shareholders of
the South Western Company to rarity ths measure on their
part. The undertaking of the Portsmouth Company, as
oinany authorised by parliament, consisted of a line 32
in length, commencing from the South Western
Company's railway at Godelminte (34 miles from London) ;
rug thence in the direction of the old turnpike-
road by Healement and Peden:6old towards Portsmouth,
and ending at Havant, 66 miles from London, by a %scam
with the Chichester and Portsmouth line of the Brighton
Company, on which, and the joint line of the Brighton and
South Western Companies, It relied for its connexion with
Portsmouth. The Portsmouth Company next obtained
powers for the construction of a branch between three and
four miles long, from Godalming to the South Eastern Coro-
pan s Reading and Reigate HOP at Shalford. Thus, through
hal:motions with the South Western at Godaboing, and
wi the South Eastern at Shalford, it propceed to open
London by a double route to the country below °attaining,
and by Its junction with the Brighton Company's railway at
Havant, to complete a new line between Portsmouth sod
London, of 73 miles only, by Guildford and the South•
' Western, and of 82 miles by Shalford and the South-Eastern.
Each each route, it will be observed, Is considerably shorter
than the tainting onee (of 944 mike) by Bithopttoke on
the one hand, and by Brighten on the other. The
Portsmouth Company in the lest session of perils-
ment, ;notwithstanding every oppoeing exertion of the
Brighton Company and this company, succeeded in
obtaining powers of running over the Brighton Company's
line between Havant and Hilrea, with the alternative power
of making an independent petalled line there, and a junction
with this company's railway at the Coeham station; they
also obtained similar rights of running over the joint Has of
the Brighton and South Western Companies between Hama
and Portsmouth; and although they were excluded from the
privilege they sought of using the Brighton and South
Western station at Portsmouth except upon arrangement
with its owners, they obtained powers, failing snob ar- '
rangement, to construct an Independent terminal station. '
The Portsmouth Company have now also brought their
undertaking into a state ready for opening. Matters
thus standing, the directors were invited to consider
proposals for working the line, and for :making
the neemosery %cliental arrangements es to the interoksege
with It at Gedelming, and for the recess
maga= of snob traffic between London and Godebsing.
