the rich United States are equally sensitive to sor-
did influences, and the writer who would faithfully
record the state of public feeling with regard to any
great subject such as this, cannot justly omit to

mould the actions of a community and affect the
course of public policy.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WENSUM VALLEY.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the office, Poet's Corner,
Westminster, Mr. W. P. Greenfield in the chair.
The report stated that the directors were 'not in a
position to report that effective progress had been
made with the railway entrusted to them to carry out.
The circumstances causing the delay had been be.-
gond the control of the board. With regard to the
prominence given to the case in the recent discus-
sions between sections of the Great Eastern Board,
they state that the proposal to construct the. Wen-
sum Valley Railway, often broached, was submitted
to Parliament by independent promoters in the Ses-
sion of 1864 ; the line constructed was universally
supported by the landowners, and was in every sense
a landowner's line. It had been carefully laid- out
by engineers of character and experience, who fixed
the capital in "the usual way in the bill. The only
opposition with which the bill was ever threatened
in Parliament was that of the Great Eastern Com-
pany ; and in March, 1864, the directors of that com-
pany finding that there was no reasonable ground
for opposing its construction, adopted, of their own
spontaneous will and without solicitation from the
Wensum Valley directors, the following resolution :
" Parliamentary Committee, March 11, 1864.—Wensum
Valley Railway.
"Resolved,—That Mr. Maynard be instructed to offer to
the Wensum Valley Railway Company the following
terms :
" That the Groat Eastern Railway Company aro prepared
to contribute one-third of the capital, and to work their line
at 50 per cent., and will be prepared to concede, through
booking from Lynn to Norwich, on the undertaking that
they get corresponding through booking arrangements
from March to Lincoln over new line."
Negotiations followed, and a formal agreement was
drawn up and executed in the usual manner, and
scheduled in the Act, which passed without opposi-
tion. The agreement thus concluded gave the Great
