RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

GREAT NORTHERN.

A special meeting of the proprietors of this line was
held at the station, King's-cross, yesterday morning, for
the purpose of considering, under the Wharncliffe order,
certain bills which have passed the douse of Commons,
and which contain provisions in which this company is
interested. Mr. Denison, the chairman of the company,
was in the chair, and there was a tolerably numerous
attendance of proprietors.
The first resolution which the Chairman proposed to
the meeting was one empowering the directors to enter
into an arrangement for working the Leeds and Halifax
Railway, a short line about 18 miles in length, now in
process of construction, and nearly completed.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the arrangement con-
templated was one by which this company should work
the traffic of the line in question, paying to the persons
who bad constructed the line a certain portion of the re-
ceipts. The object of this company in desiring such an
arrangement was to encourage traffic from Halifax to
London to come by their lines through Bradford and
Leeds.

The resolution was agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed a resolution approving
of the provisions of a bill now before Parliament, autho-
rising the formation of a railway between Wakefield and
Leeds, and empowering the directurs to make an agree-
ment for the working of such line, when made, under a
provision contained in the bill. Mr. Denison explained
that the arrangement contemplated in the case of this
line was precisely similar in principle to that proposed to
be made in the case of the Leeds and Halifax line.

The resolution was adopted.
The third resolution, which was also proposed by the
chairman, empowered the directors to make a similar
arrangement in regard to a line proposed to be con-
structed between llorocastle and Kirkstead, in Lincoln-
shire (the bill for which is now before Parliament), a
distance of about seven miles.

The CHAIRMAN said that this line was not likely to be
so productive as the other two, concerning which they
had adopted resolutions ; but the directors thought that
it would be to the interest of this company to work it.
The resolution was agreed to, five hands being held
up against it.
One of the proprietors who had opposed it stated in
reply to an appeal from the chairman, that he had done
so because he thought that this line would not pay.
The fourth resolution empowered the directors to make
an arrangement for the working of a short line proposed
to be made between Welling and Hertford, to be called
the Hertford and Welling Junction Railway.
The CHAIRMAN recommended this resolution to the
meeting on the ground that it would be more convenient
for this company to make an arrangement of the kind
proposed than to have to forward the traffic of this line
under the facility clauses of Mr. Cardwell's railway bill.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
A similar resolution was to have been proposed with
respect to an arrangement for working the Ambergate,
Nottingham, Boston, and Eastern Junction Railway ;
but as the bill authorising the construction of that line
has not yet passed the House of Commons, the conside-
ration of this resolution was obliged to be postponed till
Thursday, June 22, to which day the meeting was ad-
journed.

LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND
EXTENSION.
A meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday at
the London Tavern, for the purpose of authorising the
joint committee of this company and the Eastern
Counties Railway Company, and London and Blackwall
Railway Company to borrow money on mortgage under
the powers of the act, and for other purposes ; and
the meeting was afterwards made special for the purpose
of submitting, pursuant to the standing orders of the
House of Lords, to the proprietors then present, in per-
son or by proxy, the following bill :—" A bill to alter
the line of the London, TilbuDry, and Southend Eaten-
sion R ailway, to authorise the lease thereof, and the
purchase of the railway and certain parts of the works
belonging to the Thames Haven Dock and Railway
Company, and for other purposes," and of which the
short title is, " The London, Tilbury, and Southend
Railway Deviation and Amendment Act, 1854,"
Mr. .DANIEL, the chairman of the company, briefly
explained that the object of the meeting was to borrow
25,0001. on debentures, to make up the amount of
425,0001. agreed to be paid to Mr. Pete and Mr,
Brassey under contract. The traffic, he observed, had
been as satisfactory as could have been expected. The
traffic returns had given the whole amount received,
but that sum was subject to a deduction of one-third in
payment of work done by the Blackwall Company and
the Eastern Counties Company, and for running over
their line.

A resolution authorising the directors to raise the sum
required was then agreed to, and the meeting having
been made special, another resolution was passed ap-
proving of the clauses of the bill above-mentioned, after
which the meeting separated.

chase of the railway and the works belonging to the
