MEETING—(THIS DAY.)
A special general adjourned meeting of the directors and
shareholders was held to-day at the company's offices, at
the Waterloo station, Captain Mangles in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said of the three bills that stood over for
consideration at their last meeting only one was in a suffi-
ciently forward state to be submitted to the shareholders
this day. That bill gave power to the company to
authorise the construction of a railway from Weymouth
to the Isle of Portland, an I to extend the Wilts Somersiq
Railway to the Harbour. The line would be about tour
miles and a half in length ; but including branches and.
tramways it would extend to about six miles, By the
agreement already in existence it was arranged that the
line should be constructed by an tidependent company, and
when completed that it sh.c.ald be leased to the Great
Western and South Western companies, to be
held by them conjointly, each company paying
£2,250 per annum for the same, free of all deductions.
The chairman concluded byproposing a resolution, approv,
ing of the said bill,

The motion was then agreed to unanimously, and the
meeting was then further adjourned until the 29th inst.
A special general meeting was then held to consider a
bill to authorise the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Railway to make certain new lines of railway in the coun-
ties of Surrey and Sussex.

The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the railway
was to improve the connection with the West London Ex-
tension, Crystal Palace, South Western, and London and
Chatham and Dover lines, and to enable the South Wes-
tern Company to make arrangements for working over
those lines. The bill was merely permissive, there being
at present no arrangements going on with those companies.
A formal resolution was then submitted to the meeting,
approving of the bill, which was agreed to unanimously.
The CHAIRM4N said the other bill, No. 2, which wa■
for the making of a railway and harbour in the county of
Devon, to be called the Sidmouth Railway and Harbour,
was not yet in a sufficiently matured state to be submitted
to the consideration of the proprietors.
The meeting then adjourned.
