Soh-Committee No. 6.
This Committee stands adjourned till twelve o'clock to
morrow.

Sub-Committee No. 7.

DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHES-
TER RAILWAY, AND REMINGTON'S INDE-
PENDENT LONDON AND 11ANCHESIER

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 .f. 40,000 shares.
Mr. Pocock took the chair, and after having briefly opened
the proceedings,
Mr. ANDERTON, amidst great confusion, said, that as no
amalgamation had yet been entered into between the two
above-named companies, the meeting could not properly
come to any resolution couched 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
tine, 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 to know 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
forwarded to the directors of the tv, o companies, calling upon
them to wind up the affairs of the two undertakings, and
pay over the surplus of funds on hand immediately to the
shareholders.
The resolution was seconded b Mr. OBBA y RD , who
Was decidedly of opinion that it would be for his benefit if
the Companies were dissolved.—( Hear, hear.) Probably
there were some gentlemen present whose interests would
mot be served by such a course.—(Hear, and laughter.)
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 decl:ned 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 lie 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 fur-
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.)
Mr. Jonas having seconded the resolution, it was put and
unanimously carried.
It was then unanimously resolved that a committee, con-
sisting of ten shareholders (two-thirds of Rastrick's, and the
remainder of Remington's Company) 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.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a shareholder, said that he
believed that 80,000 shares of Si. ss. each had been paid into
Rastrick's, and 70,000 or 80,000 of 2/. 15s. into Remington's
Company.
Thanks were then voted, on the motion of Mr. Obbard, to
the Chairman, who having responded thereto, the meeting,
which was rather a stormy one throughout, separated at
half-past four o'clock.

(YESTERDAY.)

Sub-Committee No. 4.
This Sub-Committee re- assembled t o- day, at twelve o'clock.
The Members present were—Sir W. Heathcote, Chairman,
Mr. Ackland, Mr. Hope Johnstone.
The case of the
WEST Or ENGLAND MITNCTION
was then proceeded with. This case was adjourned from the
last assembling of the C,mmittee. The formal proofs were
not entered into, as the par y on whi an devolved the duty
of depositing the plans with the different parish clerks wss
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.

The following Members composing this Committee met at
the usual hour to .day :—Mr. Strutt (chairman), Mr. Beckett
and Mr. Denison.
The proceedings commenced by calling on
THE SOUTH YORICSHIME COAL SILL.
Mr. Coates, agent for the promoters ; Mr. Smith, agent
for the opposition.
After some minor objections, the following was alleged :
That ao-plan had been deposited with the parish clerk of the
parish of Cawthorne.
Several Acts of Parliament, together with an Inclosure
Act, were produced on the part of the promoters, in all of
which the alleged parish of Cawthorne was defined and de-
clared to be a township only. Toe Committee, consequently,
decided that this was not a non-compliance with the stand-
ing orders.
The Committee then adjourned.

Sub-Committee No. 8.
The Members composing this Committee assembled to-day
at twelve o'clock. The first Bill called was
THE MIDLAND (BIRMINGHAM AND

GLOUCESTER BRANCH.)
Mr. Carter, agent for promoters ; Mr. Elgin, for the Great
Western, against the Bill ; Mr. Berkeley, engineer.
After some allegations of inaccuracy of sections relating to
bridges and high road crossings, and engineering inaccuracies,
it was alleged that there were no vertical sections shown.
This case was adjourned.
SILLS WITHDRAWN.

On the following Bills being called, their respective pro-
moters gave notice of their withdrawal.
Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester, and Stockport Direct
—Midland Rail way —Newark and Gainsborough—Southamp-
ton and Dorchester—London and South-Western—Basing-
