DON, AND LYNN AND DEREHAM RAILWAY
COMPANIES.

A meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavel
Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of hearing the terto
upon which it was proposed to amalgamate the lines.
Sir W. B. Folkes was called to the chair, and 0'
secretary read the advertisement cilling the meeting
and the purposes for which it was called.
The CIIIIRMIN then stated briefly what these object
were, and the terms upon which it was proposed 01_,
amalgamation should take place, and which were 11'
follows

Terms of the Amalgamation of the Lynn and Ely, Ely
Huntingdon, and Lynn and Dereham Railway Col

Ist day of January, 1846.
" The extension capital about to be raised by the LIB

portioned among the Shareholders in the three Compani.dr-
at the rate (or as near thereto as possible) of one new shy'

" The capital of the three Companies, and also the exler
sion capital above referred to, shall be taken at par.
"Inasmuch as by the terms of the Act of Parliament, ill;
corporating the Ely and Huntingdon Company, interest
the rate of 31. 10s. per cent. per annum is payable on
sums called up on the shares in the capital of that Comps%
but no such provision is made in the Acts incorporating t"
Lynn and Ely and Lynn and Dereham Companies, inter
the rate of 3/. 10s. per cent. per annum shall be paid
all sums called up on the shares in all the three Companietlij
from the date of the payment of such respective calls

panies shall constitute one Company, by the name of '
Eats Anglian Railways Company.'
" That such Act shall contain all such other clauses 04,
stipulations as the Directors of the three Companies shall,'"
their discretion, think proper."
The CHAIRMAN, hi proposing the adoption of
above, alluded to the desire expressed at a meetitis
held in August last for the amalgamation of the Colli;
panies whenever the time should arrive when such e
measure could be deemed practicable. That time hei
now arrived, and the proprietors had already beardre7
the terms upon which that amalgamation was propose'
and he would be glad to hear any observations that AN
Hon. Proprietor z,hould deem it necessary to offer. ie
answer to a question from a Shareholder, he said tP
works of the lines were in a very forward state.
The terms having been agreed to, the meeting the:
changed its name, and became, pro forma, a meetilir'
of.the

ELY AND HUNTINGDON COMPANY. •
Mr. LACY took the chair, and after having made
few prefatory observations, read a series cf resolution'A
which were to the effect that the shareholders approve,'
of the amalgamation. At this stage of the proceeding'
and before the reso utions were put to the vote,
Captain PORTER rose and made an observation relV
tive to " Mr. Henry Bruce, of Mincing-lane."
The CHAIRMAN reminded Captain Porter that the ity
troduction of the subject at that meeting was quite ire'
gular, and begged he would not persevere.
Captain PORTER said he was aware it was irregtll34;
but he wished to intimate that it was his intention '
bring the subject forward upon a future occasion. he
A good deal of irregular discussion followed upon t-,
topic, which had no reference whatever to the matter f°,'
the discussion of which the meeting had been convent'
and during which a debate ensued as to the policy of 034/
reporters' publishing that portion of the proceeding!'
Mr. Bruce at the same time declaring that if Captal
Porter's observations were published, he (Mr. Bruce,/
would insist on his right to reply. The reporters having
declared that they could give no pledge, Mr. Bruce 00:
tered into an explanation of his reasons for signing,'
certain petition; and the matter having at length bee"
brought to a close,
The CHAIRMAN requested that Captain Porter
not make any further observations; the subject droprl
the business of the day was resumed, the resolution'
were put and adopted, a vote of thanks passed to the
Chairman, and the meeting separated.

The late Sir Alexander Ferrier, K.G.H., her Bit
tannic Majesty's Consul for South Holland and Zealant"
who died at Rotterdam, in the kingdom of Holland, oij
the 17th of August last, at the age of seventy-two, bit.'
mlide his will there, in the year 1841, in the Duty
language, which was registered in Rotterdam imlne:
diately after his decease, by which instrument, as the
translation runs, he nominated and appointed as IT
sole and universal heirs his joint children, and grand
children to each, such share to which they are entitle'
by law. Sr Alexander, from weakness in his sight'
was unable to write or sign his name. A notatie,i
translation of his will was proved in London on the 23
of December, 1845, by the executors, Sir James Hear;
Turing and Willem Mattheus Hop, Esq. The property
belonging to Sir Alexander, within the province of Cs 11;
terbury, is of small amount, his estates lying in Holland'
where, for the last thirty years he has been pertne
newly domic led and resident, carrying on business as
merchant. The deceased was Knight of the Order 4?
Guelph of Hanover, and Defender of the Scotch Frill'
leges at Veere.
The late John Ryley, Esq , of High Elms, Watford
who was for nearly thirty years a magistrate for 01
county of Hertford, and formerly of the Bengal Ci!'l
Service, was possessed of considerable property in Inc*,
and by his will has left the sum of 85,000 sic:ia rupee'
standing in his name in the funded stock at Calcutta, td
be divided between his wife and three sons, equally, ¢a
his estate and mansion at High Elms, also his estate o'

Ralph Ryley, and Edward Charles Ryley. The d°
ceased died at High Elms, on the 13th of last Novetnbet•
in his 73d year.—Yost.

We learn, from private sources of information, el°
the re-construction of the Cabinet has been the result of
compromise between the Premier and those who were or,
posed to his original proposition, which is understood to hall
been sweeping and radical in the extreme. It is now ss„l_,'
that the project to be submitted to Parliament by Sir P'
Peel is, that wheat in future should be liable to a fixed duti
of twelve shillings a quarter, such duty to be decreased 11
two shillings aquarter in each succeeding year ; so that
the end of six years it should be adinitted free. This state-
ment we submit to our renders Just as it has reached our
selves—observing that it comes from a source to which
have been frequently i.iebted for early and authentic in for-
mation.—Dublin F.:ening Mail.
Early nest year it is intended to send mail 1)00_,I
from Lou" to Portsmouth six times a day, and we shiT
consec,ientiv have six daily de, iveries.—Hampshire Telegrap;
