bus fare between Gosport and Portsmouth is reduced from Is. to 641.
each' Passenger, including the same weight of luggage as allowed by
the Railway Company: First class, 1121 b.; second class, 841 b.;
third class, 561 b.
Steps are in progress to increase the convenience of passengers

Coast, and the Isle of Wight. This route to France, although ssine-
what longer, is by far the most certain and secure, from there being
good harbours for departure and arrival at both ports.
Parcels will be carried at a greatly reduced scale, the throughout
Charges between Southampton, Gosport, and London, including
delivery by passenger trains, being fixed as follows, viz.—
Is. Od. tor 2111 b.

OUTII MIDLAND, OR LEICESTER,

RAILWAY.
Notice is hereby given, that a General Meeting of the Shareholders
of the South Midland Railway Company, will be held at the Railway
Station, Derby, on SATURDAY, the 2d of May next, at Two o'clock in
the afternoon, for the purpose of giving their sanction, or otherwise,
to the further proceeding with the Bills now before Parliament rela-
tine to this undertaking.
The votes will be taken according to the amount of Scrip held by
each Shareholder, present, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting ;
and every person claiming to vote, either in his own right, or as
proxy, will be required to produce and deliver up the Scrip attaehed
together, with the name and address ofthe owner affixed, whose
vote will then be noted, and the Scrip returned.
Forms of Proxy may be obtained by applying to the Secretary, at
the Company's Offices, Midland Railway Station, Leicester.
The Directors think it right to inform the Shareholders, that the
preamble of the Bill for the Huntingdon Branch of the South Mid-
land Railway, has already been declared proved by the Committee of
the House of Commons, and that the Bill for the Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Railway (a competing line) has been rejected.
The Committee on the Bill for the Northampton and Bedford lines
is appointed to meet en the 27th instant.
Dated this 13th day of April, 1546.

By order, G. N. BROWNE, Secretary.

I.ONDON AND YORK. RAILWAY.
JIA The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the origi-
nal Subscribers and actual Holders of Scrip in this Company to
the advertisements issued on the 16th and 18th instant by the Direc-
tors of the London and York Company.
The first expresses their confidence in obtaining their Bill. This
the Committee conceive to be the greatest misfortune that can happen
to the Shareholders, as calls must then be made, and the shares be-
come valueless _ .

The second announces that the attention of the Directors is being
"directed to the practicability of treating with any rivals upon
terms advantageous to the London and York Shareholders." The
Committee give the Directors full credit for the intention thus ex-
pressed, and have the satisfaction of feeling that the steps they are
taking will facilitate the Directors in the attainment of this most im-
portant object.
The holders of many thousand shares have already signified their
concurrence in the views which led to the formation of this Com-
mittee, and as they almost universally express an opinion in favour
of an amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Railway, the Com-
mittee are directing their attention to this point, and only require the
early adhesion of those Shareholders who hive not yet replied to the
circulars to Insure success. .

The Committee, in reply to many letters received offering pecu-
niary support, beg to state that being personally holders of nearly
5,000 shares, they decline receiving any subscriptions, and intend
bearing all the expenses, unless the Shanholders in the London and
York line vote their payment from the general funds.

be obtained at the Committee-Rooms), and return the same signed
Without delay :
TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE LONDON AND YORK
SHAREHOLDERS.
Gentlemen,—l'am a scrip-holder of shares in the
London and York Railway, and am desirous, firstly, of having the
line south: of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or,
secondly, of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company
f r an abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalga-
mation with the Eastern Counties line.
I would prefer the * of these alternatives,
and I authorise the Committee of Shareholders to represent my
opinion to the Legislature, and to pray Parliament to carry the same
into effect.
