The Scripholders' Committee have to announce that a Deputation
of their Body had an interview with the Managing Directors, on the
19th instant, when specific answers were promised to a series of
questions relating to the affairs of the Company. The Answers re-
ceived are most unsatisfactory, The D.rectors state that they
" Cannot possibly give the amount of expenses," and that they
" Do not Intend to call a Meeting under the Sessional Order, until
after the second reading," which stands for the 29th ,instant. It is,
therefore, of the •ty most importance, that THE PETITION TO
PARLIAMENT TO. STAY. THE BELL, which has already received
the support of nearly Four Thousand Scripholders, should before
that day be signed by a clear majority.
Scripholders wlio have not Signed the Petition, ALTHOUGH
THEY MAY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DISSENT TO THE
COMPANY, are earnestly requested to apply, without thlay,-to Mr.
G. D. Clark, Manager of the icripholders' Protection-office, No. 11,
Bucklersbury. Those at a distance will, on application, receive
instructions and forms of authority to sign and vote.
For the Scripholders' Committee,
THOMAS HARVEY, Chairman.

TRENT VALLEY MIDLANDS and GRAND
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management have to inform their ShareholderP,
that the Committee appointed to decide upon the group of railways
in which this annpany's project is included, has been appointed to
meet 011 MONDAY NEXT.
The Subscribers are already aware that an arrangement for amal-
gamation has been concluded with the South Staffordshire Company,
and that therefore the main expense of a Parliamentary conflict will
be avoided ; the only point open for decision in Committee being,
whether the route proposed by this Company or that proposed by
the opposing Company shall be adopted.
The conclusion of the Committee on this point cannot involve any
lengthened sittings, and so soon as it shall be announced, the Share-
holders will he in a condition to arrive at a satisfactory vote upon the
entire measure.

The
.171recior; have, therefore, thought it expedient to postpone the
meeting, which could otherwise have been immediately convoked, in
obedience to the new Sessional Orders; but it wil be called on as
OILY a day subsequent to the decision of the Committee as the regal-
Site forms will allow.
