• HULL. APRIL 15.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—Last .evening a meeting of shareholders in
the East Coast Railway took place in the room of the Stock Exchange.
The local solicitor of the line was in attendai.ce, and readily fur-
nished all information in his power. He stated that glom the esti-
mated traffic returns, the line. when completed, would pay ten per
cent. ; that every one of the provisional committee had taken 100
shares each, and, with the exception of one gentleman who had sold
fifty, they all held the shares,taken by them. The line, as originally
brought betore the public, was intended to commence at the terminus
of the Lynn and Derehain at Lynn, and form a complete coast line to
Grimsby ; but the scheme of the East Lincolnshire meeting with
greater support from the landed interest, and taking the same route,
the committee abandoned that part of the line from Boston to
Grimsby, retaining the remainder from 1.3 nn to Boston, being, with
branches, about forty-five miles. It appeared, however, that not-
withstanding this abandonment enatil.-d the promoters to reduce the
amount of shares from 22,000 to 10,000 of 501. each, there were not
more than 8,000 to 9,000 taken up. The project appeared not divested
of merit, as shortening, in connexion with other projected lines, the
diAance front the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and to Lon-
don. It was stated by the solicitor, that should they succeed in the
Comm MIS, a further call of 5 per cent. would be necessary to enable
the Bill to go through the House of Lords. This appeared to tonally
decide the meeting as to the course to be adoped ; and a petition to
the House of Commons, praying the dissolution of the East Coast
Railway Company, was unanimously agreed to. It was understood
that the promoters would willingly accede to the wishes of the ma-
jority of shareholders. There has not been so much business passing
to-day. The sales are—North British, Carlisle, 338. 6d. - Derby and

gate-Street, on TUESDAY, 21st inst., at 3 precisely, to consider the pro-
priety of recommending the Directors to wind up the affairs and
return the deposits, or to adopt such other measures as may be for
the interest cf the shareholders. Gentlemen attending will be re-
quired to produce their scrip certificates, and (to ascertain the number
of shares represented at the Meeting) are requested to hand in their
cards, with the number of shares they hold (distinguishing the Com-
pany) written upon them ; and thmse unable to attend are requested

DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER
RAILWAY COMPANY.

(Rastrick's Line.)
The Provisional Directors of the Direct London and Manchester
Railway Company acknowledge the receipt of several letters and
communications, containing various views and opinions, and also in
gullies whether the Direct ors intend to proceed further in tile prose-
cution of the objects for which the Company was formed, or to take
Means for winding up the s une.
From the time when the Bill was reported as not having passed
the " Standing Orders" of the House of Commons, the Provisional
Directors have been most urgent in getting in the accounts of the
Company ; they are now now engaged in a careful examination there-
of, and they will take the earliest opportunity, consistently with the
interests of all parties, to consider and determine upon future pro-
ceedings.

AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.
The Committee of Management regret to inform the Shareholders
that, in consequence of an adverse report from the Select Committee
en Standing Orders, they will be unable to proceed further with this
measure in the present Session ; but, from the unamious reports of all
parties in favour of the line which the Committee continue to receive,
they see no reason for abandoning the project. In the meantime, all
those having claims against the Company are requested to send in
the same to the Secretary on or before the 22d instant, in order to
their being examined, and if found correct discharged.
By order of the Board,
JOHN 3IENZIES, Secretary.

SOUTH UNION, OR MANCHESTER, POT-
TERIES, AND LONDON RAILWAY.
The Directors of this Company regret to state that this measure
has been defeated on Standing Orders in the House of Commons, in
consequence of which they consider it ti eir duty immediately to
wind up the affairs connected with the undertaking.
The liabilities are now being ascertained and settled ; but as some
delay must necessarily take place before this can be effected, the Di-
rectors hereby give notice, that they will be prepared to return to
each Shareholder twenty-nine shillings per share (as soon as the
amount depositel by this Company with the Accountant-General
shall have been repaid), and a further pr 3 rata division of any ba-
lance of the hinds remaining in hand, after the final settlement of all
claims upon the Company in full, for his share and interest in the
undertaking.

The Shareholders will, on depositing the Scrip Certificates, or
Bankers' Receipts, at this office, for tea clear days, on and after the
25th instant,and executing a proper release thereof, receive a cheque
for the amount per share returned, together with a Certificate, en-
titling the holder to a pro rata division of and remaining funds as
above mentioned.

The parties sending Scrip Certificates by post will do so at their
own risk ; they are strongly recommended to register their letters
ant to address them to the Secretary of this Company.
By order,

W3l. WILSON, Secretary
17, Fludyer-street, Westminster, April 16. N 46.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
To the Scripholdere and Subscribers to the Deed of the above
Company.
A. Committee of Shareholders in the London and York Railway
has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of this
line, and whether anything can be done to lessen the responsibility
of the Shareholders, or in any way improve their position.
The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciation which is
taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that
this depreciation increases in the shares of those Companies which
are most likely to obtain Bills.
The expensive contest in Parliament of the London and York Com-
pany mnst absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must
immediately follow ; and the majority of the scripholders will avoid
registration, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of
coming into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must,
therefore, be enforced against those who have signed the Perlis-
Mentary Contract.
This fearful position of matters has induced tne Committee to con-
sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are the strong
opponents of the London and York Company, may, for the cake of
protection and certainty to their own shareholders, be still open to
some liberal compromise, and that the London and York directors
aid shareholders ought, either by-diminishing the extent of their
undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount of calls to re-
lieve the pressure which will come en their subscribers), or by some
apsorption in the Eastern Counties Company, obtain a participation
in an undertaking yielding a present profit, instead of one whose re-
turn, if ever obtained, will not be arrived at without years of painful
sacrifices and distress.
With these views, the Committee think steps ought to be Immedi-
ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if not
to dissolve the London and York Company.
In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter-
borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. each,
er the line should be given up to the Eastern Counties Company, on
their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and
giving shares in their Line as originally proposed.
The statement below, showing the past and present position of
several well-supported Companies, who, before the Committee of the
House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6
to S per cent., proves that success on the part of the London and
York Railway, in obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the
subscribers and serlpholders ; and if any other argument was needed
to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extract from
the Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be deemed sufficient :
" The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are
graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the London and Oxford
Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper :
" 'Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have
so increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines mentioned
above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can-
not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con-
struction of railways is now 50 per cent. more than at this time last
year.
" At this point of the proceedings the Chairman said that ;the
Committee thought it unnecessary to hear any more evidence re-
specting the London and Oxford Line ; and, accordingly, after the
room had been cleared for a few minutes, the Chairman announced
that the Committee were unanimously of opinion tbat the preamble
of the London and Oxford had not been proved."
The Committee beg to direct the attention of the shareholders to
the official announcement of the Government's intention to immedi-
ately introduce an Act investing the scripholder with such power,
that a majority in number and value duly registered at any public
meeting will prevent the further progress of any Bill in Parliament ;
and as the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very few days,
have to appear before a similar tribunal as that of the defunct London
and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to
liagactill* FAO alusteboldera concur in any of their views, for which
purpose t sollowing printed farm may be obtained at the Com-
mittee-rooms, and eVety- Sh-areheidee slut euls•cribcz to tne aeea is
earnestly requested to return the same signed immediately, in order
that the directors may be conferred with. or a public meeting con-
vened, as may be deemed most expedient for the protection of the
interests of all parties.
To the Committee of the London and York Shareholders.
Gentlemen,—l am a scripholder of Shares in the London
and York Railway, and am desirous, Firstly, of having the Line
South of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or, Secondly,
of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company for an
abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalgamation
with the Eastern Counties Line; or, Thirdly, of having the Company
at once dissolved.
I would prefer the • of these alternatives, and I authorise
the Committee of Shareholders to represent my opinion to the Legis-
lature, and to pray Parliament to carry the same into effect, or to re-
ject the London and York Bill.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RI PPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
lington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
Is sterling silver, that can be employed as such either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma•
terial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by NV. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.
