ItAt I,WAY.
I,r6th an anxious desire to meet the public convenience, and with
a view to placing the varied advantages of their Railway, in raspect
both of business and pleasure, more within the reach of every class
of the community, the Directors of this Company have resolved, on
and after the Ist of May ensuing—
To increase the number of the trains and to accelerate their speed,
and vary the hours of departure and arrival of many of them.
To carry Second-Class Passengers with their Express Trains.
To abolish their Slow Trains altogether, and to convey Third-
Class Passengers at the Parliamentary fares, with their ordinary
Trains, four times a day each way, and at hours to allow of an early
departure and late return to and fro.
To make the following great Reduction in their Fares through-
out :

Express Train, first class reduced to 20s.
second class —17 s.
Fast Trains, first class —17 s.
second class —14 s.
Mixed Trains, first class 144.
second class —10 s.
Third class at..........G5. 6d.

By an arrangement with the Floating Bridge Company, the Omni-
bus fare between Gosport and Portsmouth is reduced from Is. to 6d.
each Passenger, including the same weight of luggage as allowed by
the Railway Company. First class, 1121 b. ; second class, 841 b.;
third class, 561 b.

Steps are in progress to increase the convenience of passengers
proceeding by steam to France, the Channel Islands, the Southern
Coast, and the Isle of Wiglat. This route to France, although mile-
what longer, is by far tint most certain and secure, from there being
good harbours for departure and arrival at both ports.
Parcels will be carried at a greatly reduced scale, the throughout
charges between Southampton, Gosport, and London, including
delivery by passenger trains, being fixed as follows, viz .
Is. Od. for 28 lb.
Is. 6d. ~ 56 lb.
Is. Od. „ 112 lb.
Time Bills, giving fu'l particulars, are in emirs, of publication.

RAILWAY.

Notice is hereby given, that a General Meeting of the Shareholders
of the South Midland Railway Company, will be held at the Railway
Station, Derby, on SATURDAY, the 2d of May next, at Two o'clock in
the afternoon, for the purpose of giving their sanction, or otherwise,
to the further proceeding with the Bills now before Parliament rela-
ting to tkis undertaking.
The votes will be taken according to the amount of Scrip held by
each Shareholder, present, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting ;
and every person claiming to vote, either in his own right, or as
proxy, will be required to produce and deliver up the Scrip attaehed
together, with the name and address of the owner affixed, whose
vote will then be noted, and the Scrip returned.
Forms of Proxy may be obtained by applying to the Secretary, at
the Company's Offices, Midland Railway Station, Leicester.
The Directors think it right to inform the Shareholders, that the
preamble of the Bill for the Huntingdoa Branch of the South Mid-
land Railway, has already been declared proved by the Committee of
the House of Commons, and that the sill for the Rugby and Hunt-
ingdon Railway (a competing line) has been rejected.
The Committee on the Bill for the Northampton and Bedford lines
is appointed to meet en the 27th Instant.
Dated this 13th day of April, 1046.
GEO. HUDSON, Chairman of the Committee of Directors.
By order, G. N. BROWNE, Secretary.

L OND ON AND YORK RAILWAY.
ILA The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the origi-
nal Subscribers and actual Holders of Scrip in this Company to
the advertisements issued on the 16th and 18th instant by the Direc-
tors of the London and York Company.
The first expresses their confidence in obtaining their Bill. This
the Committee conceive to be the greatest misfortune that can happen
to the Shareholders, as calls must then be made, and the shares be-
come valueless.

The second announces that the attention of the Directors is being
"directed to the practicability of treating with any rivals upon
terms advantageous to the London and York Shareholders." The
Committee give the Directors full credit for the intention thus ex-
pressed, and have the satisfaction of feeling that the steps they are
taking will facilitate the Directors in the attainment of this most im-
portant object.
The holders of many thousand shares have already signified their
concurrence in the views which led to the formation of this Com-
mittee, and as they almost universally express an opinion in favour
of an amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Railway, the Com-
mittee are directing their attention to this point, and only require the
early adhesion of those Shareholders who have not yet replied to the
circulars to insure success.

The Committee, in reply to many letters received offering pecu-
niary support, beg to state that being personally holders of nearly
6,000 shares, they decline receiving any subscriptions, and intend
bearing all the expenses, unless the Shareholders in the Londou and
York line vote their payment from the general funds.
