'I HE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM

RAILWAY.

Yesterday the Half-yearly General Meeting of the
Shareholders and Prep ietors of the London and Bir-
mingham Railway took place at the Euston Hotel,
Euston-grove ; GEORGE CARR GLYNN, Esq., in the
Chair.

The CHAIRMAN observed that before the Report
was read he wished to call the attention of the meeting
to two important Reports, made by a Parliamentary
Committee during the present Session, in reference to
Railway Communication. The first was recommending
a Bill for the better promoting the comfort of passen-
gers. To this there could be no objection : but the
second referred to the mode of levy upon passengers,
and might be of serious consequence to proprietors in
Railway undertakings. The Directors had therefore
felt it their duty to watch, with a view to opposition,
any measure brought in founded on that Report. He
would urge upon the Proprietors not to be led away by
erroneous ideas from the immense increase of traffic on
the line, as a large amount of the capital raised on the
321. shares would still have to go, till the middle of the
year 1842, in paying interest on loans, after which
period the Company would be in receipt of an additional
35,0001. per year.
Mr. CREED, the Secretary, read the report, which
showed that additional calls had been made, increasing
the capital of the Company by the sum of 250,000/.,
which had been expended principally in the improve-
ment of stations, the manufacture of additional en-
gines, carriages, trucks, &c., consequent on the increased
traffic on the line—making their total capital amount to
the sum of 5,698,37.5/. 4s. 7d. There had been a de-
ficit in the passenger receipts of the present half-year,
as compared with that of the preceding one, of 206/.,
and an increase over the corresponding half-year of
1839 of 73,6551., making a general improvement in pas-
senger receipts of 171 per cent. The Directors were
prepared to declare a dividend of 4/. per 100/. share ;
but, in order to complete such dividend, they had been
obliged to fall back upon a portion of the reserved fund
of 57,0001. The Directors had determined on esta-
blishing a third class train between London and Bir-
mingham, the fare to be 145., and in proportion at the
intermediate stations ; and they bad the satisfaction of
stating that the branch line between Leamington and
Coventry was fast advancing, which, as a tributary line
to the London and Birmingham, would be of great ad-
vantage. _ _ _

The Report was unanimously adopted, and, after
some other business of little importance had been trans-
acted, the meeting separated.

THE PUSS YITES.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor
of the Wiltshire Independent
circumstance which lately took place in
this town seems to deserve notice.

A reverend gentleman, whose conduct as a man and
a clergyman has obtained from the inhabitants a large
portion of esteem and deference, in a very eloquent and
impressive discourse, inveighed with great energy against
those doctrines which, as he said, " are embodied in the
Oxford Tracts for the Times ;" and deprecated in very
forcible language the adoption of such sentiments by the
members of the Established Church. Yet it is also well
known that the very congregation to which these opi-
nions and arguments were addressed, is occasionally
made to hear a defence of the doctrines of Puseyism, and
from the same pulpit.
What a state of things is here—Puseyites and their
opponents nurtured, authorised, sanctioned, by the same
ecclesiastical power, both claiming Divine authority by
virtue of ordination from the successor of the Apostles
—both assuming to have been recipients of the Holy
Ghost, yet i❑ palpable and utter discord, not about the
form or colour of sacerdotal vestments, but about the
means by which a sinner is to obtain pardon of his sins,
and reconciliation with his Creator.

This is a schism indeed, before which all other schisms
and heresies fade into comparative insignificance, a
schism rending in twain the. Church—nay, the religion
of the Church, rending to its very foundation Christia-
nity itself.
All the bitterest sarcasms to which scofers have given
utterance, are empty and unmeaning sounds in compa-
rison with this plain and undeniable fact.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Devizes, April 3, 1840. Z.
