LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.--(TIlli DAY.)
_

A specie.' general meeting of the proprietors of this
company was held this day, at tee Euston Station, for
the purpose of expressing their approval of a number of
Bills now pending in Pat liament, by which it is pro-
posed to authorise the London and North-Western
Railway Company either to contract or to become the
lessees or proprietors of, or to contribute towards the
formation of, the railways therein mentioned. The chair
was taken at one o'clock by G. C. Glyn, Eeq., chair-
man of the company.
The SECRETARY having read the notice convening the
meeting,
The CILLIaIIAm said—Gentlemen, you are aware that
this meeting is called in compliance with the standing
orders of l'arliaraent to ask for your final sanction to the
measures now b?fure the Houses of Parliarn.--nt. The
list read sounds a long and formidable one, but, in point
of fact, I shall be able to reduce it to a very short corn
pass. By looking at the list of Bills read to you by my
friend Mr. Creed, it appears that the different measures
there alluded to, when put in that proper shape which I
think they should be on the present occasion, are either
renewals of the Acts brought forward by the directors
in the last session of Parliament, and which were then
either lust or withdrawn, or branches or amendments
connected with the several Acts then obtained. In point
of fact, the different schemes that the directors have to
propose naturally divide themselves into three classes—
those to which I have re erred, and which constitute the
largest portion, viz., amendments of the Acts of last
session, and Acts which were withdrawn or lost, and
there is only one undertaking, or rather a lease, which
the directors are now about to introduce to the meeting.
I am anxious to put these things before you in this way,
in order that you
to lead 3,,,uoi,teithmaa' not charge us with any attempt
of the Bills .t length which the lengthy
