CLARENCE.

A spee'al meeting Of this eompsny was held on Satur-
day at the George and Vulture Tavern, to consider a
Bill now before Parliament for authorising the amalga-
mation of the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway Com-
pany and the Hartlepool West Harbour and Dock Com-
pany, also the purchase of the Clarence Railway by the
Stockton and Hartlepool Railway Company, and for
consolidating the Acts relating to these companies; Mr.
H. Blanchard in the chair.
The solicitor read the heads of the Bill, from which it
appeared that the Clarence Railway Company are to
receive 2i per cent. on their old (1001) shares, with
power to the amalgamated company to purchase those
shares after expiration of five years at the sum of 501.

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.--The works
on the Oxford line are proceeding at a very rapid rate—
in fact, the line is all but completed, excepting that por-
tion of it through the town of Birmingham. It is ex-
pected that it will be ready to he opened for traffic early
iu September.—Railway Record.
THAMES I:lAvErt.—There is a rumour abroad that
this company is likely to come to an amicable arrange-
ment with the Eastern Counties. If it can be done with-
out sacrifice, we advise the conversion of this last rem-
nant of a conflicting interest in its territory into a vehicle
of special advantage to its proprietors.—Railway Times.
TRIPS FOR THE SEASON.—WINDERMERE.--Me per-
ceive that the London and North-Western Company are
preparing excursion trips for the season to Windermere
and the lakes, at fares which, when compared with those
of stage-coach times, are quite insignificant.—Railway
