RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MONMOUTHSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held at the offices,
Newport, on Wednesday—Lord Tredegar in the chair.
Mr Harrison, the secretary, read the notice convening the
meeting for the purpose of confirming or otherwise a propo•
sition to subscribe £20,000 to the proposed Alexandra Docks,
to be constructed on the west side of the river.

Mr C. BAILEY, M.P., moved a resolution to the cffeot
that the SUM named be subscribed towards the new dock.
He referred to the progress of other South Wales ports
through possessing ample dock accommodation, and similar
results would follow, in his opinion, the construction of new
docks at Newport.
Mr T. BROWN seconded the resolution. He held that in
advocating dock extension he was not only advocating the
interests of the Monmonthehire Company, but of the old
Dock Company as well.
Mr CARTWRIGHT maintained that the present docks
would be found sufficient for the trade for years to come,
and he adduced statistics showing that the old dock had been
a very unprofitable investment to the shareholders.
After some further discussion,

Mr CARTWRIGHT suggested that the resolution should
contain a condition as to protective clauses to the Mon-
mouthshire Company, which was agreed to by the mover
and seconder.

The resolution asamended was carried by a large majority.

NORTH-EASTERN.

The directors of this company have given notice of in-
tended application to Parliament for power to amalgamate
the West Hartlepool Railway and Harbour Company and
the Cleveland Railway Company with the North-Eastern
Company on such terms and conditions as may have been
or may be hereafter agreed upon.
A provisional agreement for amalgamation has been en-
tered into between the directors of the North-Eastern and
the director of the Hartlepool Company, subject to the
approval of the shareholders of both companies, to the effect
that for the year ending July, 1865, the net earnings of the
Hartlepool Company are to be divided among Class A and
Class B and the ordinary stooks as provided by the act,
1863. The amalgamation is to commence or take effect on
the Ist of July, 1865, and the North-Eastern Company, on
obtaining Parliamentary sanction, are to substitute for the
West Hartlepol classes A and B stocks a corresponding
amount of North-Eastern preferential stock, carrying a per-
petual guaranteed dividend at the rate of £4 per cent. per
annum, from the Ist of July, 1868, with intermediate gua-
ranteed dividends for the year commencing the Ist of July,
1865, at £3 ss—for the year commencing the Ist of July,
1866, at £3 103—and for the year commencing the Ist of
July, 1867, at £3 15s per cent. per annum. Tho holders of
ordinary stock are to be entitled to- guarantee dividends at
like rates per cent,, calculated on £76 19s for each £lOO
ordinary stock. The directors of the Hartlepool Company
have unanimously recommended the adoption of an aural-.
gamation on the terms provisionally agreed upon,

BURY ST. EDMUND'S AND THETFORD.
A line of railway to connect these towns has been pro-
jected, and it is intended to use portions of the Great
Eastern Railway, and to make working arrangements with
that company.
