BAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON.

A. special meeting of this company was held yesterday
at Fendall's Hotel, Palace-yard, to consider the propriety
of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares, Mr. W.
_Reed in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the meeting.
Certain persons had taken more shares than they could
pay the calls on, and consequently they remain in arrear.
The' shares had been forfeited by the dii ectors on the 13th
of February, and it remained for the meeting to confirm
that forfeiture. Persons connected with the Stock Ex-
change bad expressed their surprise that so cheap and
useful a railway as this would be should ternain at its
present position in the market. The line would be
opened on the 2d of July next, and would cost about
B,GOO/. a mire. He concluded by moving formal reso-
lutions declaring the forfeiture of 880 shares, upon which
the first, second, and third calla remained unpaid, and
authori sing the directors to sell or otherwise dispose
of the same in such way as they might deem expedient.
The resolutions were passed unanimously, and the
procee, rings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chair-
man.

SHIRE.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany took place yesterday, at the Palatine Hotel,
Manchester ; Mr. T. R. Barker, of Sheffield, one of the
directs rs, presiding. The chairman said he believed the
progref is of the company's bills to be perfectly satisfac-
tory, ',Jut the position of the Parliamentary business did
not r et enable the directors to make a definite report to
the st iareholders upon them, for which purpose the last
metiti ng had been adjourned. Mr. Williarnsathought it
was '✓ery hard upon the old proprietors that they should
safe] • whilst preference shareholders were quarrelling
amon g themselves. The meeting was then further ad-
journ ed to the 25th May, when it was expected that the
nee a scary meeting under the Wharncliffe order could
also. take place.
