RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

NORFOLK.

A special meeting of this company was held on Wed-
nesday at the office, Guildhall-buildings, to consider and
approve, or otherwise, of four bills now before Parlia-
ment ; Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting had been convened
in compliance with the standing orders of the House of
Lords. The first bill they intended to submit was the
most important, being a bill for authorising arrange.
ments between the Eastern Counties, the Norfolk, the
Eastern Union, the East Anglian, and the Newmarket
Railway Companies, for the amalgamation of their rel
spective undertakings; but, as it had not made sufficient
progress in Parliament, they would have to adjourn the
meeting for a fortnight, for the purpose of taking it into
consideration. -They could, however, proceed with the
other bills.

The Solicitor read the heads of a bill to authorise
certain improvemei.ts at Lowestoft harbour, and for
other purposes.
The CHAIRMAN explained- that the object of the bill
was to enable the company to increase the size of the
inner harbour, and to charge tolls on vessels that usually
choked up the harbour during the winter months, and
paid nothing for the accommodation, using it as a harbour
of refuge. In reply to Mr. Maclaurin, he stated that
600 or 700 ships occupied the space intended for vessels
trading with the port, but the bill would enable the
company to charge tolls, which would come to between
2,0001. and 3,0001. a year for that accommodation.
The motion approving the bill was carried unani-
mously.
The Solicitor then read the heads of a bill for making
a railway from Wells to Fakenham. It was promoted
by the Earl of Leicester and other landowners, and all
the Norfolk Company had to do with the line was to
enter into arrangements for working the traffic on it
when made.

A. resolution, approving of the bill was carried unani-
mously. _ _

The- solicitor read the heads of a bill for making a
railway in extension of the Halesworth, Beccies, and
Haddiscoe Railway from Westhall Low Common to
Woodbridge, and certain branches therefrom, and for
changing the name of the company to "The East Suf-
folk Railway Company." The Norfolk Company was
to work the traffic.

A resobttion approving of the bill was carried.
On the motion of Mr. Maclaurin a cordial vote of
thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting
adjourned to the 27th inst.

DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH.
A special meeting of this company was held on Mon-
day at the London Tavern to consider a bill now be-
fore Parliament, in compliance with the standing or-
ders of the House of Lords, Mr. W. A. Wilkinson in
the chair.

The solicitor read the heads of the bill, authorizing
agreements between the Direct London and Ports-
mouth Railway Company and the Portsmouth Railway
Company, and for winding up the affairs of the former
company.
The Chairman, in moving a resolution approving of
the bill, [stated that the shareholders would have the
option of taking paid-up shares in the Portsmouth
Company at'a diFomint, or of having a sum returned to
them after winding up the company's affairs.
A resolution approving of the bill was carried unani-
mously, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman and
directors the meeting separated.

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
A special meeting of this company was held at Glas-
gow on Tuesday for the purpose of considering, and, if
expedient, approving, two bills now before Parliament,
viz., " a bill for vesting the Ardrossan Railway in the
Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company, and
for other purposes," and "a bill for making a railway
from the "Ayr and Dahnellington Railway to Maybole,
to be called the Ayr and Maybole Junction Railway,'
Mr. Andrew in the chair.
The Secretary read the heads of the first bill.
The CHAIRMAN said, the object of it was the amalga-
mation of the Ardrossan with the Glasgow and South-
Western Railway Company. At the time the arrange-
ment was first entered into with that company in 1851
their revenue was 10,0001. per annum. In 1853 it
amounted to 14,000/. per annum, and the dividend from
4to 6 per cent. The zevenue of the Glasgow and South-
Western had risen from 212,4541. in 1851, to 249,1471.
in 1853, and the dividend from 2to 31 per cent. He
concluded by moving a resolution approving of the bill,
which was seconded by Mr. JAMIESON, and unanimously
adopted.
The Secretary then read the heads of the Ayr and
Maybole Junction Railway Bill.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving that it be approved, stated
that it was promoted by an independent company, and
all that the Glasgow and South-Western had to do with
it was to work the line after it was finished.
A resolution approving of the bill was carried unani-
mously, and the meeting separated.
