' arid South Coast Railway ConaPtiiies; and the Wie,by the
last-mentioned Compalfy of• par; (Wandsworth to T..on'7.
don) of the London' and South-Western Railway.
On the first Bill being.put to the meeting,
The-CiuwitAN stated that its only object was to in-
crease the opportunity for traffic now passing upon the
line, the cost of which is calculated at 186,000/.
The Bill was then pasied'unithitnously.
The next Bill was. for enlarging and permanently
separating the station from. that of the S.,uth-Eastern
company. The cost is estimated at 475,000/, and the
Chairman explained, that in addition to the portion
which the company possesses; it was requisite to tike
other accommodation.
Iu answer to a Shareholder, the. CHAIRMAN stated
that the Dover Company would still hold, ample accom-
modation for themselves, aed this Bill was proposed to
be able to moat any requirements that might occur in
the event of no arrangement _being come to with the
South-Eastern Compaoy. Ha, quite as much as any
shareholder, was opposed to.this large outlay of money
until it was absolutely necessary, and he was happy to
say thet Mr. Cubitt and Mr. Stephenson, the engineer
of the Dover :line, were now in communication for the
improvement of the-principal station at London-bridge,
with a view to the greater accommodation of both com-
panies, should the extensive amalgamation 'Which has
been proposed not take place, - -
To Mr. FLOOD a director replied that it was quite Mr.
Cubitt's impression, that even shohld the two companies
be amalgamated, it would still be iiilvisablelo carry on
the business in separate stations. •
Mr. BROWN expressed his determination to oppose it,
both as a South-Easter and a.Brighton proprietor.
To an inquiry as to Ike cause ,the great amount of
the estimate, klf,* 434
The CHAIRMAN replied that it was the value of the
property to be taken for the purpose. A friend of his
in Liverpool was absolutely selling his land by the inch
To further inquiry, Mr. Witaxxsoti explained that
11 the station at London bridg, was built conjointly by
the South-Eastern, the Croydon, and the Brighton Com-
panies, each of whom had the right to go to any part of
the station they pleased. The two latter of these com-
panies were now incorporated, so that two-thirds of the
ground was absolutely the property of the Brighton
Company, and this Bill was to obtain a right to divide
the ground in the event of the South Eastern Company
not coming to any accommodation.
The Bill was then passed with Mr. Brown only dis
senting.

The— third and fourth Bills were merely alternative
Bills, to obtain powers to make a station, not only for
themselves, but for the South-Eastern also. The second
of these two Bills calculated an outlay of 770,0001., but
that comprised all the objects of the three previous Bills,
and it was not at all contemplated that there would be
any necessity for spending the whole of the money. The
Bill was then passed with Mr. Brown again only dissen-
tient.
On putting the Bill for the line to Maidstone, Canter-
bury, and Tunbridge, with branches, Mr. Brown again
opposed; and in reply to the observations of another
proprietor, stating that he conceived that as a matter of
self-defence this Bill ought to be adopted, the Chair-
man said that he must altogether protest against i's
being supposed that this was a measure of defence, for
he believed that the line was a very good one, and such
as the shareholders ought to make from a proper regard
to their own interest.

The Bill was then passed, with three or four dis-
sentients.

On the Bill for the amalgamation of the Portsmouth
Atmospheric Company being put,
Mr. COHEN inquired what the terms were
on which this amalgamation was to take place;
for he believed that out of the 7,000 proprietors
there were very few who really understood what the
terms were. He wi-hed also to know whether the
Reading, Dorking, and Reigate Company would use the
Brighton line from Gomshall to Dorking, for he under-
stood that they intended not to do so ?
Mr. Wflatursow stated that according to the Act of
the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company they were
compelled to use the line of the Brighton Company,
though it was true that they had now a Bill in Parlia
ment to repeal the clause which compelled them to d.,
so. With respect to the Portsmouth Company, he might
say that it was agreed that the South-Western Compact)
should provide a portion of the funds for making the line
and were to share in the proceeds.
The Bill was then passed.
The CHAIRMAN said the last Bill was one authorising
the sale of the Brighton and Chichester line to the
London, Brighton, and South-Coast and London and
South-Western Companies.
Mr. Waturisow seconded the motion for the ap-
proval of the Bill.

It was carried unanimously.
The JHAIRMAN said he had now to move a resolution,
which did nut appear in the advertisement. it had
referrence to the establishment of a Steara•packet Com.
pony. The directors, upon their own responsibility.
had ordered a number of efficient steara•vesels for the
Brighton Station Company, and the resolution he had
now to move wag, to authorise the company to tak&
powers in their Act to advance 100,000/. tor carrying
out the object he had mentioned.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and di-
rectors, and the meeting terminated.

THE TRAMPS.—We are assured that to such a
pitch have the tramps got throughout the country, that
hey laugh at the law and the magistrates when admi-
nistering it to them ! This " trade of tramping " must
be put down ',by a law far more stringent than that now
applying to tramps ; both reason and justice to the
rest of the community demands it.
[ADVERTISEMENT].—ME. C*EW'S NOVEL, "TEE
POACHER'S WIFE," maintains its onward course of
popularity. It is, indeed, universally pronounced to b
one of the most attractive works of fiction of the time
On this marked success, much comment has been made;
but the surprise might have been more natural had the
volumes failed, than now when they have so signally
succeeded; inasmuch as apathy towards the great sub-
ject (the Game-laws), illustrated in the novel, would be
an imputation to public feeling. The Atlas says, "the
style of the rural demons who occupy a portion of the
story is preserved with extraordinary power and bold-
ness. There is no mincing of the phraseology—no
false delicacy. Mr. Carew's diction is everywhere
sometimes wild and uncouth, as if his subir•ct
had conjured up a strange language to give its terrors
fitting expression."
Mr. Evan Evans, of Liverpool, attended as a juror
a coroner's inquest, on Monday, and on that eyezdng
dropped down dead in the street.
