The Directors of the London and York Company and the Directors
of the Direct Northern Company have the satisfaction to announce
to their respective Shareholders that arrangements have been con
eluded, subject to the approval of Parliament, for an amalgamation

struction of the Line. The effect upon the stock cf the respective
Companies under these arrangements, when completed will be :
Ist. That the London and York 50/. Shares,- upon which 21. 10s.

in the amalgamated Company, the 21. 10s. paid being credited as 101.
per cent. deposit on such 25/. Shares.

2d. Thit -the DireckNorthern 251. Shares, upon which 21. 10s.
each, or 10/. per cent. deposit has beef paid, will be exchanged in the
proportion of THREE existing Shares for TWO Shares in the Amal-
gamated Company, upon which the 21. 10s. paid en each of the three
Shares will be credited as 31. 15s. paid on each of the two Shares,
being equal to 15/. per cent. deposit, such Shares not being subject
to any further call until 15/. per cent. has been paid on the reduced
London and York Shares.
3d. The London and York 25/. Extension Shares will not be
affected by this arrangement, but will continue of the same amount
as at present.

tain Parliamentary sanction to these arrangements. In the mean-
while, the Directors request the shareholders in each Company forth-
with to send their scrip to the ()dices of the respective Companies,
that it may be endorsed in accordance with these arrangements, and
become negotiable upon that basis. •
