lIONDOIk.i AND YORK AND EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAYS.
The Committee of the London and York Shareholders, finding
that the Directors, without sonsulting the Shareholders, or calling a
public meeting to ascertain their sentiments, have entered into ar-
rangements by which the Shareholders will be sacrificed unless they
protect themselves, beg to call attention to the following terms of
amalgamation which they have arranged with the Eastern Counties
Company, subject to the approval of Parliament.
Ist. That if the London and York Bill shall not pass into a law,
and the Extension line to York of the Eastern Counties Company be
sanctioned by Parliament, in the present or next session, the share-
holders in the London and York Company who shall assent to the
amalgamation prior to the decision of Parliament on the Bill, shall
be enti' led to one Eastern Counties (York Extension) Share of 151.,
in respect of each 50/, share in the London and York Company, and
of each two London and York Extension Shares of 254.
That each such Share of 151. shall, when so issued, be credited
with the deposit of ten shillings, as having been paid thereon.
The Committee with the greatest confidence appeal to the Share-
holders, collectively axd individually, whether the terms of this amal -
gamation be not far preferable for their interests to those announced
by the Birectors of the London and York Company on the sth of
May, as baying taken place with the Direct Northern Company.
The advertisenfint of the London and York Company, calling for
the Scrip to be brought in and indorsed with the terms of amalga-
tion with the Ditect Northern Company, is evidently for the purpose
of informing Parliament what number of assents to that amalgama-
tion have been given. In like manner, and for the like purpose the
Committee request the Shareholders to produce the Scrip to their Com-
tntte. at No. 4, Oise-lane, accompanied, to save time, with a me-
morandumsii stating the n
of the name and address of the holder, the quantity
compared and
datid the distinguishing numbers; and, on these being
the holder the found correct, the Scrip will be marked, so as to secure
Company.

surprise that you have r.ejected the proposal of the Eastern Co'untes
Company, without first ascertaining the feeling or your Shareholders
with regard to it.
The Committee, baying in view only the good of the Shareholder
extremely regret that the course they have taken should

The Committee are determined nothing shall induce them
to lose sight of the courtesy which, as gentlemen, they de-
sire to exhibit to your, Board. They now, therefole, most
as large Shareholders, and the repre•entatives
respectfully,
of large Shareholders in the London and York Railway, re-
quest your Board to immediately convene a pu'lle meeting of the
Shareholders, with a view to obtain their decision, in conformity
with the late Parliamentary resolutions, as to the proprletory of the
London and York Bill proceeding further. The object of the Com-
mittee in making this application is, if possible, to save the expense
of a Parliamentary contest, which they anticlpate will be followed
by a dissolution of the Company. —I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen, your most obedient servant,

Chairman of the Committee of Shareholders.

LONDON and YORK RAILWAY..
Brother Sharehokiersi—e Rhea"ctious. If you get shares
marked so as to entitle you to Eastern CountiesEstension"
shares, you will have the benefit of the Eastern Counties Extensions,
if their Bill passes, and can fall back on the Amalgamation with the
lirect Northern, if the London and York Bill passes. If you consent
to the Amalgamation with the Direct Northern, and the Loudon and
York Bill fails, you lose all chance of the Eastern Counties offer.
Think which is best. You will, in a fey; days, find binding your
shares to ithe Direct Northern Amalgamation will make them un-
is_?leable. The Public will not buy shares on which they have only one
vope, but those on which they have two chances, viz., the benefit
hete i
being
converted into stock of the Company that gets its Bill,
