reduce their prices, and exporters and the home trade have
operated with caution.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(YESTERDAY.)

Sub-Committee No. 4.
This Sub-Committee re- assembled to-day, at twelve o'clock.
The Members present were—Sir W. Heathcote, Chairman,
Mr. Ackland, Mr. Hope Johnstone.
The case of the
WEST OP ENGLAND JUNCTION

was then proceeded with. This case was adjourned from the
last assembling of the Committee. The formal proofs were
not entered into, as the party on whom devolved the duty
of depositing the plans with the different parish clerks was
absent.

The allegation of the Rev. Mr. Barry was then proceeded
with. It appeared there was no vertical scale on the plans
deposited with the clerks for the counties of Oxford and
Southampton ; and there was also a discrepancy of 26
chains with reference to the terminus as shown on the scale
and to its actual position. There was also a number of other
allegations, but of no public importance. The Committee
adjourned shortly before four o'clock.

and Mr. Denison.

The proceedings commenced by calling on

Mr. Coates, agent for the promoters ; Mr. Smith, agent
for the opposition.
After some minor objections, the following was alleged :

parish of Cawthorne.

- Several Acts of Parliament, together with an Inclosure
Act, were produced on the part of the promoters, in all of

DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHES-
TER RAILWAY, AND REMINGTON'S INDE-
PENDENT LONDON AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY.
A meeting of the subscribers and scripholders in this
amalgamated Company was held at three o'clock yesterday,
at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to consider the
propriety of recommending the directors to wind up the
affairs, and return the deposits, or to adopt such other mea-
sures as might be for the interest of the shareholders. There
was a very large attendance of shareholders, there being pre-
sent the representatives of upwards of 40,000 shares.
Mr. Pocock took the chair, and after having briefly opened
the proceedings,
3fr. Ain/HILTON, amidst great confusion, said, that as no

come to any resolution coached in the spirit of the advertise.
ment by which it had been called. He concluded by mov-
ing a resolution to the effect that, inasmuch as there had
been no amalgamation between the Remington and Ras-
trick lines, it was desirable that each Company should have
a meeting of its own ; that the meeting was, at the same
tame, obliged to Mr. Pocock for having, by his advertisement,
called their attention to the condition of the two projects,
but that he ought not to have called it in the manner in
which he had, as the Companies were entirely distinct and
separate.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DAVIS having seconded the resolution,
A SHAREHOLDER wished toknow what funds still remained
on hand ?—( Hear, hear.) The shareholders were, in point
of fact, entitled to force them to give a full and faithful ac-
count of the position of the company's affairs without any
further delay.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then moved that a resolution should be
forwardel to the directors of the two companies, calling upon
them to wind up the affairs of the two undertakings, and
pay ever the surplus of funds on hand immediately to the
shareholders.
The resolution was seconded by Mr OBARD, who
was decidedly of opinion that it would be. forhis benefit if
the Companies were dissolved.—(llear, hear.) P
there were some gentlemen present whose interestsrobably
would
not be served by such a course.—(Hear, and laughter.) ould
Mr. ANDERTON trusted that his resolution would be put
in the first instance. He was about to make some further
observations in support of it, but from the great uproar which
prevailed, he declined further addressing the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Anderton's resolution, when
20 hands were held up for it, and a complete forest of hands
against it. He then put the resolution which he had himself
moved, for which almost every hand was held up. Great
cheering, of course, followed.
Mr. SAMUEL POCOCK then moved that two copies of a
protest, embodying the resolution of the meeting, be for-
warded to the directors of the two Companies. After this
meeting the shareholders would, of course, protest against
any further sums of money being expended in the prosecution
of the undertaking.—(Hear, hear.)

carried. having seconded the resolution, it was put and
It was then unanimously resolved that a committee, con-
siating of ten shareholders (two-thirds of Rastrick's, aad the
remainder of Remington's (,ompany) be formed, and the chair-
man be appointed.to carry the foregoing resolutions into effect.
Another resolution, to the effect that the committee
should have the power of investigating the accounts of the
directors, was then moved by Mr. Samuel Pocock,
The resolution having been seconded,
A SHAREHOLDER said, that it was impossible for the
meeting to confer any such power on the committee.
The CHAIRMAN, however, put the resolution, which was
declared to be carried.
To defray the expenses of the commitee and the present
meeting, it was resolved that a subscription of one shilling be
paid for every ten shares.
