BLACK WALL RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
A special general meeting of the directors and proprietors
of this railway was held at twelve o'clock this day, at the
London Tavern, for confirming the draft of a Bill for widen-
ing the line from Stepney to Fenchurch-street, and for
amending the Acts relating to the railway, J. A. Daniell,
Esq., in the chair. A considerable number of proprietors
were present.
The SECRETARY read the Bill for widening the line, from
which it appeared that a capital of 240,0001. was required,
of which 60,0001. is to be raised by new shares, and the re-
mainder by loan. _ _

A SHAREHOLDER considered that it was quite unnecessary
to widen the line, as the traffic was dimishing instead of in-
creasing. At the present time they were losing about 1,0001.
a month. Ile moved as an amendment, that the project be
deferred until the increased traffic on the line rendered it
necessary.
The amendment having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN defended the directors, who were large
proprietors themselves, from any desire to widen the line, if
totally unnecessary. There could be no question that a
great accession of traffic would take place if the line was
widened. Besides, they were simply asked to confirm a re-
solution passed at a previous meeting. If they did not
adopt this plan now, they would perhaps not have another
opportunity.
Dr. BOWRING, M.P., also defended the directors, and in
doing so drew attention to the fact that the line was barely
sufficient to accommodate their present traffic. How then
could they accommodate the increase which would take
place when the junctions and extensions which they were
empowered to make were carried out ?

Sir. LEA considered that they ought not to raise any addi-
tional money by mortgage until they had completed the line
to the Eastern Counties.—(Hear.)
Mr. CRAWLEY was of opinion that the directors had made
out a good case for widening the line. He wished to know
what arrangement had been made with respect to the stations
if the project was carried out.
The CHAIRMAN said may alterations which would be ren-
dered necessary were included in the estimates. After ob-
taining the consent of Parliament to the Bill a meeting of
the proprietors would be called, in order to obtain their sanc-
tion to its construction. At the present moment the direc-
tors had no intention of calling on the proprietors to contri-
bute money towards the object which the meeting had been
called to confirm. Independent of the traffic which they
could not fail to obtain from the Eastern Counties, they con-
fidently anticipated a great increase of traffic from Bow and
the neighbourhood of Stratford.

The amendment having been withdrawn, at the request of
the proprietors, a motion, confirming the one passed at a pre
vious meeting, fur widening the line, was unanimously
agreed to, and the meeting separated.

PRESCRIBING BY TELEGRAPH,— The eleetric tele-
graph is far more extensively diffused in America than with us,
and is commonly applied to the purposos of the every-day business
oflife ; but we were not prepared to hear that the personal visits of
physicians are dispensed with, electricity answering every end. The
Lockport Daily Courier says, early in the forenoon yesterday a gen-
tleman stepped into the Telegraph office at Buffalo, and desired to
have Dr. Stevens, who resides in this village, called into the office,
as he wished to have some conversation with hire. The Doctor wasa:ia
summoned, when the gentleman at Buffalo said his wife wabst
