Junction line to Norwich. One gentleman had of
to guarantee an annual consumption of 25,000, if that
work were completed. He also referred to the great in-
crease on the facility of access to Wales, if the recom-
mendations of the Directors were attended to.
In answer to a question from a Shareholder,
The CHAIRMAN said that the London and Birmingham
Board had assented to all the proposals now submitted
to the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution, embodying the
assent of the shareholders to all the different matters &-
tailed in the notice convening the meeting, observing that
• the shareholders of this Company would participate pro
rata in the Shropshire project.
Mr. E. D. DAVENPORT, of Capesthorn, after compli-
menting the chairman on his address, spoke at some
length, and asked whether this Company intended to
oppose a line projected from Birkenhead to Macclesfield.
He was a shareholder in the Manchester and Birming-
ham Company to the extent of some hundreds per an-
num, but he thought that the line from,Bitkenhead to
Macelesfield would accommodate the public, and he had,
therefore, given his assent to it. It weuld reduce coals
in price three shillings per ton. tle hoped that scm
arrangement would be come to with that Company. Ile
then, at considerable length, complained of the slow tra-
veiiing upon this line, stating that sonic of the trains
were generally half un hour behind their time, whikt
others were not uufrequently an hear. This inuruieg
was the first thee that he had ever knowo the train to
arrive in proper time at Alderley. lie also complained
that the charge for a passenger to go from Chilford to
Chester was eight shillings, whilst if the party b wked
first from Chilford to Crewe, and then from Crewe to
Chester, he would only be charged six shillings. The
mail train had at times been an hour beyond its proper
time, and if the Directors did not take means to ensure
greater regularity, he would not promise not to endea-
vour to make them.
The CHAIRMAN regretted that at times the trains had
not come in at the proper time, and the Directors had
appointed a superintendent, whose duty it was to ascer-
tain and report the cause of the late arrival of the trains,
and from these rrports it appeared that the delays had
been caused by the late arrival of the trains from Lon-
don on the Grand Junction line at Crewe. In conse-
quence of the reduction of rates and fares, the increase
of the traffic on this hue had increased tremendously.
They had generally a stock of engines on.hand, but now
they hitd- stone -',except those 'at work:. ~They .had 4004
new ones ordered, but such was the demand for engines
now, that the makers would not show any favour in the
completion of their orders. With respect to one
engine which they had had ordered, Mr. Sharp wished
them to go upon the London and Birmingham line for
a trial ; but upon its arrival in London, the London and
Birmingham Company laid violent hands upon it --
(Laughter)—and said that they should nut have it back
again.
Mr. TuoMAS Coox seconded the motion of the chair-
man, which, after a few words from Mr. Latham, passed
unanimously.

MANCHESTER AND RUGBY DIRECT, via MAC-

CLESFI ELI).
MANCHESTER, MONDAY, HALF PAST FOUR.—To•day,
at twelve o'clock, a meeting of the shareholders of this
Company was held at the Albion Hotel, in Manchester,
for the purpose of receiving a statement as to the present
position and prospects of the Macclesfield and Lichfield,
or Churnet and Blythe Junction, in which Company the
shareholders have the option of receiving an equal num-
ber of shares for those held in the above company. The
advertisement, signed by the committee, recommended
the shareholders to delay determining as to the course
which they will individually adopt, until after they had
the opportunity of hearing the explanations and state-
ments which would be submitted to them at the proposed

meeting.
Mr. William Hill, Chairman of the Board of Directors
presided.
Mr. JOSEPH HERON, Town Clerk of Manchester and
one of the solicitors of the Company, thin rose and
stated that it would be within the knowledge of every
shareholder that at the last meeting, by the terms of the
report which emanated from the Board of Dirt ctors of
the Manchester and Rugby Railway Company, the
shareholders had had the option given to them of receiv-
ing back a sum of 325. per share, with a right to such
further amount as ahouid at any subsequent period be
ascertained to be the property of each, or of receiving in
the place of such portion of their deposit back again
scrip of the same amount in the Churnet and Blythe
Railway Company. Since that announcement had been
made, the Directors had conceived that it would be only
just and equitable that every necessary information
which it was in their power to communicate to the share-
holders, should be laid before them, so as to enable them
to decide for themselves which course it would be the
best for them to adopt under all the circumstances
of the case, and so that hereafter there might be no
room left for any shareholder to blame them, whether
he decided to accept his proportion of the deposit, or to
take the scrip proposed in the Churnet and Blythe scheme.
This had led to the coavening of that meeting. They
had before them the prospectus of the Churnet and
BI ithe scheme, and he therefore felt that he had very
little to do, for he could add nothing to the statements it
contained. They had, therefore, now to decide for them-
selves which of the two courses it would be most advis-
able for them to adopt. As to their own immediate
position, he would state that a full and accurate state-
►nent of their affairs was now in course of preparation;
but it was not completed so as to lay before the meeting,
although it was desirable that it should have been done.
The question, however, as to the Churnet and Blythe
admitted of no delay; and consequently the meeting had
been called at the earliest opportunity in order that the
shareholders might have the means of deciding for them-
selves what should be their course of action under the
circumstances.

Mr. FAULKNER briefly enumerated the chief merits of
the like. By the construction of 451 miles of new rail-
way they would be enabled to shorten the distance be-
tween London and Manchester, in conjunction with
other lines existing and in progress, from its present
length, to within 177 miles, and the time now occupied
in traversing that route could be reduced from its period
at present occupied to within four hours and a half. The
line had been surveyed with great care and minuteness,
and their surveys were all ready for Parliament. Those
surveys were not to be quarrelled with, and he need
only say that they were executed by Mr. Locke, in
order to show that they could not have been confided to
a better man in the whole kingdom. That gentleman
was so well satisfied with the character of the under-
taking, that he had declared that it must be made, and
had also strongly recommended it to the Directors of
that line with which he was connected immediately in
the district. Ferom circumstances into which, perhaps, it
was not necessary for him to enter, but which had
their origin in an arrangement between the Grand Junc-
tion Company, and the London and Birmingham and
Manchester and Birmingham Company, the Directors of
the Churnet and Blythe Company had not deemed it
expedient to put out such a number of their shares as
would have prevent( d their being under the necessity of
coming to others to ask for their assistance. The line

was a substantial line, not promoted by parties who en-
gaged in it for merely speculative purposes, but by the
resident landowners and proprietors of the district. In-
deen, he might mention that five-and-twenty miles of the
land which would be required, out of the forty-five
composing the total length of their line, were the
property of promoters of the line, and consequently
the heavy expenditure necessary in the purchase
of land would not be called for, less than one-half the
length only having to be purchased by the Com-
pany. He had alluded to the Grand Junction Company.

to say that this was a most desirable junction to effect.
They had made certain propositions, and those proposi-
tions had been accepted by the committee of the Churnet
and Blythe Company, and he had no doubt whatever
that they would go to Parliament with every prospect of
success.
Mr. FAULKNER, before he sat down, in answer to dif-
ferent shareholders, said he did not know how many
shares in the Churnet and Blythe had been issued; nor
how much of the deposits paid up. The deeds were out
at the present time, so that though he made the inquiry
before he left town, he cc uld not receive a correct reply.
He might, however, state in general terms, that a fourth
part of the capital of the Churnet and Blythe had been
already paid up, that capital amounting to one million.
Mr. IlEeoN again rose and said they had felt it their
duty to make all the inquiries which were necessary in
order to secure the interests of the shareholders of the
line. They had asked what w ould be the position of the
shareholders if they were to take Churnet and Blythe
scrip. They found it would be exactly this—the ex-
penses incurred by the Manchester and Rugby Company
had been ascertained to amount to somewhere about
Bs. 6d. per share. The Churnet 'and Blythe Company's
shares were 201. shares, with 40,. paid up. They had
originally been 251. shares, with 21. 12s. 6d. paid up ;
but as the committee had not issued their scrip, they
had altered the amount, in order to facilitate the
arrangement. The Rugby shares were 201. shares,
with two guineas paid. The Rugby shareholders bad,
consequently, Is. per share on their side, which left the
portion of expenses at the sum of 6s. 6d. per share.o

the possibility of its ever

' of circumstances could never occur. It would require
that there should be 30,000 sham outstanding, but there
were not so many in the Rugby and Manchester Com-
pany, and consequently it could not be so. Consequently
such a result, which would be unjust to the shareholders
who had elected to take their money, would not arise.
The expenses of the Churnct and Blythe Company had
been very light. The whole expenses did not amount to
more than between 7,000/. and 8,000/.
Mr. FAULKNER—Not more than between 6,0001. and

Mr. Ca.aDwtox, Deputy-Chairman of the Churnet and
Blythe Railway, then entered into some statements
proving the advantages which would arise from the
adoption by Parliament of that line, and its supe.iority
over the London and Manchester and North Stafford-
shire lines. It was, in fact, the best and shortest line to
London, its sharpest gradient being 1 in 100, and its
lenth only 454 miles.
JOHN HARLING, Esq., and W. BURT, Esq., spoke
against the plan proposed; the former stating, on the
authority of Mr. William Rawson, an advocate for the
scheme, that the Churnet and Blythe line would cost at
least 40,000/., while the presence of the North Stafford-
shire, supported by the Grand Junction and the London
and Birmingham, would prevent its deriving any of the
through traffic, the latter dwelling upon the fact that
several of the provisional committee had not paid up
their shares, and suggesting that the question of amal-
gamation should be referred to some able and experienced
Parliamentary counsel for his advice.
After a prolonged conversational discussion, in which
Mr. Heron and Mr. Faulkner reminded the meeting that
the North Staffordshire had to go to Parliament as well
as the Churnet and Blythe,
The CHAIRMAN rose, and proposed consecutively
three resolutions—lst, declaring that after the state-
ments and explanations which had been given to the
meeting by the representatives of the Churnet and
Blythe Railway Companies, the meeting expressed its
intention of uniting the interests of the two Companies.
This resolution was carried by a large majority, only
fire hands being held up against it.
The second resolution carried oat the purpose of the
previous motion, and the third (which with the second
was carried unanimously), appointed Messrs. Wm. Hill
and James Lees members of the provisional committee of
the Churnet and Blythe Railway.

CONTINENTAL LINES.
ROCHEFORT, ROCHELLIE, AND POITIERS.—The plan
for the proposed branch from Poitiers to Rochelle and
Rochefort has been sent before the administration supe-
rieure. This is one of the most important sections ofthe
west. The surveys for the branch were commenced in
September, 1844, and were carried on with great ra-
pidity in the three departments of Vienne, Deux-Sevres,
and the Charente Inferieure. This is the first line form-
ing a portion of the ensemble to be established in the
departments between the Tours and Nantes and the
Tours and Bordeaux Railways.
ORLEANS AND TOURS.—The concessionary company
appears able to open the first section of the line from
Orleans to Bordeaux in the beginning of March next.
In the department of the Loire the length of the line is
32,346 metres. The works are now so far advanced that
barriers are being placed at the paths which cross the
railway, while the building for the reception of the car-
riages is carried on with the greatest activity on the
part of the contractor, who has undertaken to finish
them in the course of the present month. At Beauge-
nay, also, the works are far advanced. In the depart-
ment of Loire-et-Cher, in which the length of the rail-
way is 49,561 metres, it has been necessary to execute
works of some extent to confine the waters of the river in
their proper bed. The Directors having determined upon
giving a fixed residence to each of the watchmen and
others employed along the line, some delay has been
occasioned in building their residences. The station at
Blois is rapidly progressing. The length of the railway
in the department of Indre-et-Loire is 33,447 metres, and
on this portion the works have been carriedon with the
greatest activity. The guard-houses are finished, the
barriers are being raised, and the stations of Vouvrayl of
Amboise, and of Mount-Louis are fast approaching
towards completion. The Tours station, the dimensions
of which are considerable, is proceeding but slowly ; but
this arises from the great care necessarily bestowed upon
a work in which the solidity and good disposition of the
building are of such importance.
CALAIS BRANCH.—The project of uniting Calais with
the Belgian frontier has been for a long time past under
consideration. "We learn from a good source," says
the Journal de Calais, " that the English Company
which has at its head Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, con-
tinuo s to be occupied with the project of uniting Calais
with the Belgian railways by Gravelines, Dunkirk, and
Fumes, keeping in the most dirt ct line. Agents of the
Company have been lately at Calais conferring with M.
e you, engineer-in-chief, upon the surveys which he had
sdready made, and which might be made useful to them."

SIB, PETER LAURIE AND JOSEPH
ADY.
The following was handed by Alderman Wilson to Sir
Peter Laurie, at Guildhall :
Mr. Alderman Wilson—The occasion of my writing is
thi3 :—Through the malice of Sir Peter Laurie I am
daily insulted in my own house. To-day two men, at
least six feet high, came here demanding a return of
twenty shillings, and before I could ascertain whether it
was due or not, they laid hold of me, threatening vio-
lence, and obliged me to call out murder, they fastening
the door and the windows. As soon as they found help
,;,,owing they ran away ; and last week one Joseph Lay
rßinained wilfully there un the premises, shouting and
thro .ttening my before I could get a constable, who
thrust him out with great difficulty. Be so good as to
teach Sir _Peter, if he has cause to see me, he must go
to a proper Cqurc. I am not in the City jurisdiction,
and his publishing his hostility unlawfully may be pro-
motion of murder. I have known even a quaker to
dye with a poker or carving-knife in his hands when at-
tacked by a murderer—vide Symonds and Hoddesdon,
Herts.

Yours respectfully, J. ADY.
The ground of our dispute is his detention of my books.
