RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.—The directors of this
company have issued a lung
statement in respect to
various proceedings taken by certain shareholders, who
are endeavouring to bring about an agreement for a
blue of the line to the London and North-Western
Company, at a rent equivalent to 4i per ceat. per an-
num. The directors state, that a binding agreement,
under seal, already exists between the Shrewsbury and
Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the
Great Western Railway Companies for the working of
the lines and the interchange of traffic, which agreement
will take the precedence of any other that may be pro-
posed; that not only have the Great Western kept faith
with the company, but they have consented, condilionally,
to several modifications for the clear benefit of the
Shrewsbury and Chester Company, which were pressed
upon them by the directors of the latter company.
.They ' maintain that the policy which makes the
'line a part of a great scheme of continuous railway
communication from L'uion to the river Mersey
has been successful in establishing its importance
and value; that the Great Western is naturally identi-
fied with the interests of the Shrewsbury and Chester
Company, while the interest of th© London and North-
Western has over been, and must ever continue to be,

opposed to that line of communication. In reference to
the proceedings of the directors of the company before
Parliament during the last senior], they state that the
have obtained powers to confirm existing egreemenj,
and to enter into now agreements with the Duke of
Bridgewater s trustees, which will afford the cerepacy
great accession of - traffic from north to south, and
unequalled goods station accommodation at Liverpool
and Manchester. They bare also • obtained power to
construct two short branches, connecting the Birken-
head line, near Warrington, with the canals and naviga-
tion of the Bridgewater trustees,
shaver, the Birkenhead
ich, when taken in
connexion with the ranning powers
line towards Liverpool and Blanchester, practically ex-
tends the Shrewsbury and Chester line to those pieces.
They state that their ally.the Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham Company have obteiced Parliamentary powers ari-
m
as bee% -thorising the to make use of the London, andtheyNorth-
Western station at Birmingham, cud,
already power to run over the Stour Valley line., which
is now open, the chain of -communication will thtis
he completed between Birmingham at one end and -Man-
.cheeter and Liverpool at the other. In conclusion,
the directors state that the ehareholders my rest as-
sured that a steady adherence 20 the policy hitheito
pursued, and to the agreements entered into for carrying
out that policy, is not merely the only.course. which can
safely be adopted to protect,them from patetiniiible
Siti-
gation, but that which-Wae4W speedily eDd certainly
give them the .best return on the property invested in tfie
undertaking.
