At the Upper India Railway meeting which has
Jet concluded, the terms arranged by Lord Joce-
lyn for an amalgamation with the East Indian
Itlilway have been confirmed. The capital re cognised
or the Upper Indian line is three millions, giving
about six-sevenths in the new shares for the existing
scrip. The Upper India Shareholders become
uenceforth, therefore East India Shareholders,
and, as such, entitled to the benefit of the issue of
extension shares which, from time to time, will doubt-
less be be needed. The guarantecisnot yet fixed, but is

Lord Dalhousie writes most favourably of
"te advantages to the country of railway communi-
and Sir Herbert Maddock stated at the
India ting this morning that he expected the Upper
line will pay 10 to 15 per cent. on the
capital, owing to the dense population. The
keeting passed a unanimous recognitiion of the
I,,aluable services of Mr. W. P. Andrew, the
founder of the company, and an old and expe-
llenced writer upon post-roads in India, and
expressed a hope that his services may be made
available by the amalgamated company.
