SOUTH UNION AND BIRMINGHAM
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
A Meeting of the Committee of Management of the above Rail-
way Company was held on Friday, the 19th ultimo, at the offices of
the Company, No. 17, Flu(yer-street, Westminster, W. COLLINS,
Esq., M.P., in the Chair, to take into consideration the state of their
affairs, and the course it would become them to take, in consequence
of the Plans and Sections not having been duly lodged, as well as in
consequenee of their extremely defective state.
These two facts having been clearly demonstrated, the Committee
felt that, in justice to the shareholders, there was no course open
but that of immediately checking all further outlay, and proceeding
to wind up the affairs of the Company for this year.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
" That as the gross negligence of the engineer and lithographer,
relative to the Plans and Sections, has rendered It impossible to
proceed to Parliament in the ensuing session with any chance of
success, this Committee deem it advisable to wind up this concern
as promptly as possible for this session, rather than involve the
Company in further expenses at the present time."
" That, accordingly, the sum of twenty eight shillings per share be
forthwith returned to the shareholders by an order on the Com-
pany's Banters, to be granted at the offices, No. 17, Fludyer-street,
Westminster, on producing the scrip, and that a memorandum be in-
dorsed thereon, which will entitle each holder to the same number of
shares in the new Company, with an allowance per share on the
deposit then required, equal to the present deduction of 12s. per
share." . . . . .

.....
" That all outstanding accounts be called in immediately, in order,
if found correct, that they may be discharged."
" That after liquidation of all claims on the Company, the balance
of deposits then remaining in hand (if any) to be retained towards
the new Company, to be immediately formed for the same objects as
this Company had in view."
" That those parties who have not yet paid the deposits on the
shares allotted to them, be requested to pay their proportionate
amount towards liquidation of the expenses within ten days after
notice shall be given to that effect."
" That this decision of the Committee, with a report of the pro-
ceedings, showing the unjustifiable conduct, by means of which the
Company has been brought to this unexpected termination, be pub-
fished twice in the London papers—viz., Morning Herald and Sun—
for the information and satisfaction of the shareholders, and that an
account of the receipt and expenses be also published and circulated
amongst the proprietors as soon as the same can be ascertained."

REPtOhltatT.nothing
The Committee have to report has been wanting on
their part, or on that of their solicitors and secretary, to insure the
success of the undertaking.
The solicitors' department having been conducted with great care
anti ability, and the Book of Reference ha
amplein time, the failure in the deposit of
sean rdeady for deposit
en-
tirely 40 he attributed to the neglect of the engineern and See
ttc:iists issisants—a n:ltleCt the more extraordinary, inasmuck as at a very me
it-
date the Corelittee were repeatedly assured by the engineer tahra3;
everything in his department was in the most advanced state.
that the plans and sections would be
The assurance complete long
before the 30th, was repeated at two several meetings of seine of the
ham in the middle of November reite-
rated in London from day to day, and from hour to hour, the
close of the month, until, tired out by the frequent excuses for not
producing the same, several
gmbers of the Committee resolved to
convince themselves as to the real stitte of things by an investigation
at the lithographer's *Mee, when, to their extreme astonishment,
they found that, even so late as Saturday afternoon, the sections had
not been engraved.
B dint or the greatest exertions, however, this part of e duty
was yat length got through, though, as it afterwards proved, in th a
most
defective manner.
On the morning of the 39th the lithographer ceased his labours,
really, or pretending to be, broken down by exertion.
At this critical-moment of the proceedings three of the Committee
and the solicitor found themselves reduced to the necessity of assist-
ing personally in the lithographer's work, and In arranging and
binding up the sheets, and by these moans, at length, in the afternoon
of the 30th, the Plans and Sections were Ospetched to their several
destinations ; but notwithstanding every exertion, especially on the
part of Mr. Woody, one of the Committee, and of the local r,gpnts
intrusted with this duty, the Deposits were too late to comply with
the standing orders of Parliament.
The Committee have only further to add, that they have endea-
voured to do their duty faithfully to the shareholders, but after all
their labours (the Sections being, on examination, found so utterly
worthless) they consider the only honest course left them to pqrsue
is that which is embodied in the resolutions betore-mentioned.

Note.—The liabilities do not exceed 2501., exclusive of the Legal
and Engineering expenses, which may amount to 1,4001.
The Company's Books showing the details of the above account,
and also a Copy of the Plans and Book of Reference deposited with
the Board of Trade, lie at the Company's Office for the inspection of
the Scripholders.

All the 2E1,000 shares in this Company were originally allotted to
the public without any reservation. Each member of the Committee
had a limited allotment, provided that he signed the deeds and paid
the deposit thereon the same as any other person ; and many of the
Committee are at the present time large shareholders.
Several persons to whom allotments were made disposed of their
letters to parties who paid the deposits thereon, and applied to sign
the deeds ; but such applications were in all cases refused, the deposit
money returned, and the letters of allotment cancelled ; and no one
is a subscriber to the deeds whose character and condition had not
been carefully inquired into and approved of by the Committee.
Thus 731 shares remain unappropriated, and the Committee have
deemed it advisable to retain this number for the purpose ofquallfying
gentlemen eligible to become members of the Committee, who must
be original allot see and sign the deeds.
It will be seen by the balance-sheet that a strict regard to a wise
economy has been observed in administering the funds of the Com-
pany. Ko money has been spent in advertisements or other mea-
sures in order to raise the price of the scrip in the market; but the
Committee, having ever had in view the success of the undertaking,
have spared ne expense in the accomplishment of all objects cal-
culated to promote the incorporation of the Company.
The plans and sections have been completed with the greatest ac-
curacy and care by the Company's able engineers, Sir John Macneill
and James Thomson, Esq., and have been duly deposited, and the
notices to landowners and others have been served, in conformity
with the standing orders of Parliament ; and every detail has been
attended to in the most careful manner, so that no company can pos-
sibly go to Parliament better prepared, or with stronger claims to
that success which it is confidently expected will attend this Com-
pany.

-In order to enable the Committee of Management to make the ne-
cessary deposit with the Accountant-General, a further sum of Is. Gd.
per share is required. Scripholders resident in the metropolis are
therefore requested to present their Scrip Certificates between the
20th and 31st January Instant, to the Secretary, at the Company's
Oilier, who will receive the deposit and register the same. Scrip-
holders resident in the country are requested to attend with their
Scrip Certificates for the same purpose, at the following places,
viz.:—

COURT CIRCULAR.
WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—The Queen held a Court
yesterday afternoon at the Castle, for the reception.
on the throne, of addresses from the Corporations of
the cities of London and Dublin.
At a quarter past two o'clock the Lord Mayor and
Corporation of London arrived at the Castle, having
travelled from town by the Great Western Railway.
The City procession was preceded by the City Mar-
shals on horseback. The Lord Mayor and Sheriffs
came with their state equipages, and the other mem-
bers of the Corporation occupied numerous carriages.
The deputation consisted of the Lord Mayor, seven
Aldermen, two Sheriffs, 110 Common Council, and
the City ()Seers.
The Aldermen present were Humphery, Hooper,
Sir George Carroll, William Hunter, Wood, Hughes
Hughes, and Sidney.
The Sheriffs, Messrs. Chaplin and Laurie.
Among the Common Council were Mr. William
Johnson, seconder of the Address; Deputies Prit-
chard, Peacock, Johnson, Bridge, Lorkin, and West-
wood ; Messrs. Anderton, Bennock, Snelling, T. J.
Holt, Norris, W. Cash, and W. Chadwick.
City Officers—The Recorder, the Remembrancer,
the Comptroller, Mr. Laurie, City Pleader ; the Soli-
citor, Mr. Under-Sheriff Bircham, Mr. Under-She-
riff Wire, mover of the Address ; Mr. Secretary
Potter, the High Bailiff of Southwark, the Bridge
Comptroller, and Mr. Temple, Keeper of Guildhall.
The Lord Mayor was attended oy his Chaplain, the
Rev. Mr. Farebrother, and the Sword-bearer and
Mace-bearer. His Lordship wore his gold collar
over his state robe, and all the members of the depu-
tion wore their respective robes.
The Corporation alighted at the state entrance, and
passed up the grand staircase.
The state apartments had been prepared for the
reception of the Corporations. The Addresses were
received in the Throne or. Garter-room, which is fitted
up for Investitures of the Most Noble Order of the
Garter, the furniture being of purple velvet pat-
terned with the star of the .order, and the beautiful
carpet of garter blue, having the different ensigns of
the order wrought in gold colour.
The Corporation of London were received on their
arrival in St. George's Hall, and were conducted to
the Waterloo Chamber, where a most sumptuous
collation was served on a long range of tables ex-
tending round the sides, and covered with the greatest
variety of refreshments and delicacies. The centre of
each table was elegantly ornamented with handsome
silver vases, richly chased and a number of ornamental
designs. The Queen's pages attended at the tables
on the guests, including the whole of the Corporation
and officers, supplying the numerous party with
champagne and other choice wines.
On leaving the Waterloo Chamber, the Corporation
reentered St. George's Hall.
The Queen and Prince Albert left their apartments,
and were conducted by the Lord Steward and the
Vice-Chamberlain to the Throne-room. Her Majesty
being seated on the throne, Sir William Martins and
the Hon. Frederick Byng, the Gentlemen Ushers in
Waiting, ushered the Lord Mayor and deputation
into the Grand Reception or Ball-room, fitted up in
the gorgeous style of Louis Quatorze. At the door
of the Throne-room the Corporation were met by the
Vice-Chamberlain, who conducted them to the pre-
sence of her Majesty.
The Recorder then read the following Address :
Most Gracious Sovereign,—

We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects
the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of
London, in Common Council assembled, humbly
approach your royal person, respectfully to represent to
your Majesty
That great, powerful, and wealthy as this nation is, by
far the largest portion of your Majesty's subjects in Ire-
land, and a great portion of your Majesty's subjects in
England, Scotland, and Wales, have long been reduced
for their principal food to potatoes.

That all classes—but especially the poor—have been,
and are, great sufferers froth this result of the national
economy.

That the blight which has fallen upon the potato has
subjected your Majesty's people to great anxiety and
distress, and to the danger of famine.
That their sufferings are attributable to erroneous
legislation, which, by excluding the importation of food,
and restricting commerce, shuts out from the nation the
bounty of Providence.

We, therefore, humbly pray that your Majesty will be
graciously pleased to use the means in your Majesty's
power to open the ports of this kingdom for the free im-
portation of food.

Her Majesty having received the Address, was
pleased to return the following most gracious
answer :

The motives which hare induced you to present this
Address are duly appreciated by me.
The wants and sufferings of my people at all times
command my warmest sympathy, and I deeply regret the
failure in the present year of a full supply of an article
of food on which so many of my subjects are accustomed
to subsist.

I have directed Parliament to assemble on an early
day, and I shall gladly sanction any measure which the
wisdom of the Legislature may suggest as conducive to
the alleviation of this temporary distress, and to the per-
manent welfare of all classes of my people.

The Lord Mayor and the Senior Alderman, Mr.
Humphery, had the honour to kiss hands.
Mr. David Williams Wire, the mover, and Mr.
William Johnson, the seconder of the Address, ad-
vanced, and had also the honour to kiss hands.

The deputation then retired from the royal pre-
sence.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert remained by
the side of her Majesty during the reception of the
Address. The Ladies in Waiting, the Viscountess
Jocelyn and the Countess of Charl'mont, were be-
hind the Queen, on her right. The Lord Steward,
Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the Earl of
Dalhousie, stood on the Queen's right. The Vice-
Chamberlain and the Duke of Wellington stood on
her Majesty's left.
The Cabinet Ministers, the Duke of Buccleuch,
the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone, Lord Gran-
ville Somerset, the Earl of Lincoln, and the Right
Honourable Sidney Herbert, and also the Gentlemen
of the Household inWaiting, were ranged on either
side of the throne.

Her Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-
Arms lined the apartment.

The Lord Mayor and deputation from the Corpo-
ration of the City of Dublin arrived at the Castle at
half-past two o'clock. 'His Lordship and the mem-
bers of the Corporation appeared in their respective
municipal robes of office, and the officers carried
their badges. His Lordship was accompanied by
Mr. Thomas Reynolds, Marshal of Dublin; Mr. Cor.
P. Shannon, Town Councillor; Mr. Thomas L. Sin-
noll, High Constable; Rev. Edward H. Nelson,
Chaplain; Mr. Duckworth Nelson, Physician an.l
Surgeon; Mr. T. J. Beasley, Secretary ; Mr. Thomas
Ackins, S word- bearer ; and Mr. James Curran, Mace-
bearer.

His Lordship and the deputation, on alighting at
the', state entrance, were conducted by the grand
staircase through the Guard Chamber to St.
George's Hall and the Waterloo Chamber, where
they partook of the collation. Returning to St.
George's Hall, the deputation were summoned to the
presence of the Sovereign, and were conducted by
the Vice-Chamberlain to the presence of the Queen
on the throne.
The Lord Mayor read the following Address from
the Corporation of the city of Dublin :

and profound respect for your Majesty's person and
throne, but impelled by an imperative sense of duty, we
cannot refrain longer from laying before your Majesty
that which must cause much pain and anguish to a
monarch who feels acutely for the sufferings of her
people.
We assure your Majesty that we would not address
you on the destitution of our country, but we are deeply
impressed with the awful responsibility that would at-
tach to us in the eyes of an all-ruling Providence if we
were silent, and did not make known to your Majesty
the melancholy situati,,n to which the inhabitants of
Ireland may be redue(;d, and the danger that exists of a
whole people under your • Majesty's sway falling victims
to the scourge of famine, and pestilence, its usual con-
comitant, if measures shall not be promptly taken by
your Majesty's Government, under the blessing of a
merciful God, to avert from Ireland such a calamity.
We beg to inform your Majesty that, from causes over
which your people of Ireland have had no control, they
have been reduced for many, very many years, to look
to the potato crop as the only source from whence to
draw their daily sustenance. To them, beyond the
peciale of all other nations, was assigned—as their only
food—the poorest food in the world, and of that, for the
vast majority of them, their supply was scanty ; but
their wretchedness did not terminate even at this point—
for them there was still a step lower in the depths of
misery. Their supply of food was not only scanty and
of the worst kind, but of late years they were compelled
to eke out existence on the very worst species of
that food. Alas ! food, unfitted for the brute animal,
I was and is the food of the vast majority of your subjects
in Ireland.

May it please your Majesty, this state of destitution
of your people, although known to us, who live among
and form a portion of them here, rests not on our evi-

dente. Commissioners appointed by your Majesty, in
their report now published to the world, have announced
that the agricultural labourers of Ireland and their fami-
lies are calculated to amount to more than four millions
of human beings, whose only food is the potato, whose
only drink is water, whose houses are pervious to the
rAtt, to whom a bed or a blanket is a luxury unknown,
and who are more wretched than any other people in
Europe.
This statement is too true, but it is confined to one
class alone—agricultural labourers. We are compelled to
ed:l, that this description of the destitution of four mil-
lions of your E jcctA , when it says they are more
wretched than any other people in Europe, does not
convey the whole truth, for there are, alas, many more
ot-' your people, not included in the class desifrnated by
the Commissioners, who should be added, who are now
on the verge of famine; and this is related of the inha-
bitants of a country which of late years may be justly
rermed the grarary of England, exporting annually
'runs the midst of a starving population food of the best
izincl in sufficient abundance fur treble its own inhabi-
tants.

Such, may it please your Majesty to be informed, was
the situation of the Irish peop:e at the commencement
or the late autumn. The
vv ise Ruler of all was pleased
then to bless our land with a harvest teeming with
abundance of the best food of man. Our people ga-
thered it and saved it; but, alas! when He was pleased
thus to reward the labours'of the husbandman, He, for
his own wise purpose, blighted the potato crop, and
destroyed at least one third of their sole, their only sup-
port for one year, and this involves a state of utter
de,titution for four months of a great majority of your
Irish people.
May it please your Alajesty—We have reflected on the
awful truth; a vast number of fellow-beings; ehitttid for
the same wise purposes, destined for the same great end,
in danger of being without food for four months, and thus
to fall the victims of famine and pestilence, if immediate
measures are not resorted to to avert the calamity. How-
ever, in appealing to, and thus submitting to your Ma-
jesty the danger advancing on your people, we know you
have the will—and we confidently rely on it—to save
them ; and we know also that, placed at the head of the
most powerful nation of the world, the power to save
exists. But we ask not alms ; we desire not the dolings
out of charity from the affluent of one portion of the
kingdom to the people of the other. We submit that, to
avert a national calamity of this kind, great national
undertakings of public utility for national good
should be resorted to ; that the national treasury should
be poured out, to give employment to the people, and
remunerative wages, such as would enable them to pay
for food at the high rate at which it may be had, either
arising from its better quality than that heretofore used,
or the increase of the demand where the supply may
straitened from the loss of the crop. Such, we sub-
mit, are the leading measures to be promptly resorted to.
Employment of the people on national works—wages
commensurate with the costs of living—freedom for
import of provisions. Mercantile enterprise will supply
the rest.

We submit to your Majesty that our country presents
a wide field for such national undertakings—in the cul-
tivation of our waste lands, the drainage of our soil by
the improvement of our numerous streams and rivers,
the opening out of the remote part? of the island by mak-
ing roads throughout the country, and the erection of
railways. We, humbly laying before your Majesty the
state of destitution to which your subjects in Ireland
have bean reduced, the awful and appalling calamity
:bat advances on them, and suggesting the means by
which its horrors may be alleviated, if not altogether
averted, are not unmindful that we live under a Constitu-
tional Monarchy, and that these things cannot be granted
without the concurrence of the three estates. We there-
fore hope that it may please your Majesty, in the exor-
cise of your prerogative, to summon your Parliament to
meet you at an early day, and that you may be pleased
to inform them of the miseries that await your loyal and
devctad people of Irelaud, and demand of them measures
whereby your Majesty may indulge the dearest wish of
your hears—to be enabled, under God, to save your
people.

I; referring your Majesty to the erection of railroads,
as a mode of procuring immediate employment for the
people, and consequent relief, we submit that if the
usual time expended in the investigation of such matters
shall be employed before Committees of Parliament,
during tlee next sessions, as formerly, from this source
no relief can be expected, as the time will have passed
bJere the promoters of such works would he authorised
by law to commence their operations. We therefore
submit to your Majesty that you will be pleased to re-
commend, in your adress from the Throne to Parlia-
rn,,nt, that, for the facility of legislating on local Acts
relating to Ireland, where the rules of the Legislature
reitder previous inquiry before its Committees necessary,
to pass a law enabling and direetieg Committees of Par-
liament to whom such previous inquiries shall be en-
trusted, to hold their sittings in Dublin, and exercise the
same powers and authority for compelling the attend-
ance of parties before them as when sitting at West-
minster. Such a law, may it please your Majesty,
would, in our judgments, facilitate the dispatch of busi-
ness by the Legislature of both countries, and he a vast
saving of expense to the people of Ireland, when obliged
to apply to the Legislature for local Acts to encourage
and protect enterprise, and the investment of capital in
the various improvements which science has of late
years pointed out to man.
\Ve assure your Majesty that we are second to none
in loyal attachment to your person and throne, and if
we have approached your Majesty with the sad recital
of the wretchs dness of your people in Ireland, we have
been impelled to it by an imperative duty, as the re-
presentatives in municipal council, of the inhabitants of
the metropolis of that portion of your Majesty's do-
minions, where, for many years, your subjects, although
living in the midst of plenty, were, nevertheless, on the
brink of famine—subjects who have been described, and
truly described, as the most wretched people in Europe,
and the cup of whose misery is full and overflowing in
the rapid advances of famine and pestilence on our land.
May it, therefore, graciously please your Majesty to
cause your Parliament to be summoned at an early day,
that such measures may he passed as may enable your
Majesty, under an all-wise Providence, to be the sa-
viour of your Irish people from the scourge of famine,
and that having been the instrument is His hands to
avert the threatened calamity from Ireland, you may
for many years govern a loyal, happy, and contented
people. _ _

His Lordship advanced, and kneeling, presented
the Address to the Queen. Her Majesty, having re-
ceived the Address, returned a most gracious answer.
The Lord Mayor and Town Councillor Shannon
had then the honour to kiss hands, and the deputa-
tion withdrew from the royal presence.
The Queen afterwards held an Investiture of the
Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath.

The Knight Grand Crosses having been robed by
Mr. Hunter and Mr. Ede in their mantles, and wear-
ing their collars, passed into the Chapter-room. There

Order.
The officers of the Order wore their mantles, and
carried their respective badges. There were present
Algernon
Albert William Woods, Esq. (Lancaster Herald),
Gentleman Usher.
The Earl of Liverpool was introduced between Sir
Thomas B. Martin and Lord Aylmer, the two junior
Knights Grand Crosses present, preceded by B:tth
King of Arms and the Gentleman Usher, the former
carrying the ensigns of the Bath on a crimson velvet
cushion. His Lordship was conducted to the
Sovereign.
The Earl of Liverpool knelt near the Queen, and
the Sword of State, borne by Sir William Martins,
Gentleman Usher, being handed to her Majesty by
the Vice-Chamberlain, the Queen_ was most graciously
pleased to confer the honour of knighthood upon the
Noble Earl therewith.
Bath King of Arms, on his knee, presented to the
Queen the Ribbon and Badge of the Order, and her
MajesMajesty, assisted by Prince Albert, Acting Great
ty,
of the Order, was graciously pleased to place
the same over the right shoulder of his Lordship.
The Queen also presented the Noble Earl with the
Star of a (civil) Knight Grand Cross of the Bath.
The Earl of Liverpool rising, had the honour to
kiss her Majesty's hand.
The Knights Grand Crosses and officers of the
Order then retired from the presence of the Sovereign.

Previous to the Court, the Hon. Mr. Forbes was
presented to the Queen by the Vice-Chamberlain, on
his appointment as one of her Majesty's Pages of
Honour.

The Court was attended by Lord Rivers, Lord in
Waiting; Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in
Waiting; Major-General Wemyss, Equerry in Wait-
ing ; Colonel Bouverie, Equerry to Prince Albert ;
the Groom of the Robes, and Mr. James Bunce Cur-
ling, Adjutant of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-
at-Arms.

The Yeoman of the Guard, in their coronation
co'tume, lined the grand staircase and anti-room. Sir
Samuel Hancock, the Exon in Waiting, and Mr.
Ellerthorp, the Adjutant, attended.
A Guard of Honour of the Grenadier Guards, with

The Countess of Cbarlemont left the Castle in the
afternoon.
The Queen and Prince Albert took their early
