RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON.

A speci.Al meeting of this company was held yesterday
at Fendali's Hotel, Palace-yard, to consider the propriety
Of c ing the forfeiture of certain shares, Mr. IV.
Reed in the chair. _

The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the meeting.
Certain persons had taken more shares tha❑ they could
pay the calls on, and consequently they remain in arrear.
The ,hares 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 had expressed their surprise that so cheap and
iPeful a railway as this would be should zemain 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 mile. He concluded by moving formal reso-
lutions declaring the forfeiture of 880 shares, upon which
the first, second, and third calls remained unpaid, and
aiuthoriaing the directors to sell or otherwise dispose
of the mem in such way as they might deem expedient.
The resolutions we're passed unanimously, and the
Foceedingc-eoncludca wither vote of thanks to the chair-
man.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN-

SHIRE.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany took place yesterday, at the Palatine Hotel,
Manchester ; Mr. T.ll, Barker, of Sheffield, one of the
directors, presiding. The chairman said he believed the
progress of the company's bills to bo perfectly satisfac-
tory, but the position of the Parliamentary business did
not yet enable the directors to make a definite report to
the shareholders upon them, for which purpose the last
meeting had been adjourned, Mr. Williamsithought it
was very hard upon the old proprietors that they should
suffer whilst preference shareholders were quarrelling
among themselves. The meeting was then further ad-
journed to the 25th May, when it was expected that the
necessary meeting under the Wharncliffe order could
also take place.
