TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS
SPIRITUAL AND TEMPORAL, IN PARLIA-
MENT ASSEMBLED.
The Petition of the undersigned Subscribers to the Irish
Great Western Railway.
Humbly showeth,
That a Bill has been brought into your Right Honour-
able House, call: ad the " Midland Great Western Rail-
way of Ireland Mullingur and Galway) Bill, for making
a railway from Mullingar to Galway.
That a certain other Bill has b•-en bronht into your
Right Honourable Illuse, called the " Irish Gr• at
Western Railway," for making a railway from Port-
ar!ington to Galway.
That an attempt was made during the last session of
Parliament, by the Midland Greet Western Railway
Company, to obtain the consent of Parliament to the
nrAtieet for the construction of a railway to Athlone and
Galway, when the said Company presented a Bill in the
House of Commons to enable them to carry into effect
that portion of the scheme between Dub in and Athlone.
That the said last mentioned Bill, together with a Bill
to enable the Irish Great Western Railway C anpany
to construct a railway from a point on the Great
Southern and Western Railway to Galway, were hr aught
at the commencement of the last session of Parliament,
under the consideration of the B tar.] of Trade, which
tribunal reported strongly in favour of the Irish Great
Western Railway, and against the said competing
pr. eject.

'That an agreement was subsequently entered into be•
tween the two Companies, to the effect, that the Irish
Great Western Railway Company should Construct their
line to Galway, and that the Midland Great Western
should abandon that portion of their scheme between
Mullingar and Athlone, and confine their op' rations to
the north western parts of Ireland, by extending their
line to Longf ird and Sign—,
- That, the said report of the Board cf Trade was
brought under the consideration of th Select Corn
mi:tee of the House of Commons, to which the said Bills
.were referred in !he last session of Parliament, whose
•I.Tisioa was in accordance with the recommendation of
the Board of Trade, and the said commi.tee sanctioned
the said agreement' entered let° between the said corn
patties, having added to the Dublin and Mulling,r Bill
the title of " Nlid!ai:d,r and struck out of the said Bill
all the clauses enabling the said :•lidland Great P 4 estern
Company to construct the branch from Mullingar to
t

That the said agreement was faithffilly observed by
the Irish Great Western Railway Company, who with-
drew >all opposition against the Mullingar Bill, which
consequently obtained the sanction of Pat liament, hav-
ing pa,sed into a law under the title of "An Act for
making a railway \from Dublin to Mullingar and Long-
ford," to be called -*The Midland Great Western Rail-
way of Ireland."

That the following is a cony of the said agreement:—
(No. I.)

position had been withdrawn."

MEMORANDUM, STH MAY, 1845, LONDON

The heads of an agreement for carrying into effect
the proposed measures for a railway from Dublin to
Mullingar and Longford, to be ultimately continued to
Sligo, and another railway from I'ortarl rigton to Gal-
way, through Athlone. It is agreed that the petition,:
now pending in Parliament for the above purpose be
withdrawn, and that each party assist the other to carry
the pending Bills (but confined to the above objects) into
effect.

If any difference shall arise as to the mode of carry-
ng the above arrangement into effect, it is hercby dis•
tinetly agreed by all parties signing this paper that the
mode of doing so shall be submitted to the decision of
the Committee to whom the Bills be referred.

For the Galway Company and other petitioners.
FI rzN. FRENCH.
That notwithstanding the said agreement, the said
Mullingar Cempany covertly assisted other parties in
opposing the Bill of the Irish Great Western Railway
Company in Parliament in the last session, and when an
arrangement was enter, d into between the secretary of
the Grand Canal Company an' the Irish Great Westt ft,
Company, that no Opposition should be proceeded with
on the part of the former, and that certain clauses should
be introduced for the protection of the interests of th,
Canal Company, Mr. Perry, who had signed the under-
taking on the part of the Muilingar Company, i ntered
an Opposition agtisst the Irish Great Western Railway
on standing orders, in direct violation of his solemn
pledge, whi :h he kept up until the arrival in London of
Sir John Kingston James, one of the Canal Director:.
who refused to ratify the ag ement of the authorised
serretor„. of the Canal Company.
That Mr. John Ennis, also, who had signed th-
declaration hereinbefore mentioned as deputy•chairmar
of the Mellinger Line, setting forth, " That ia the fullest
confidence that the arrangement entered into hetwe..,
Mr. French and Mr. Perry would be carried out by both
gentlemen and the companies they represented. as wet,
us those by whom they were supported. or w th whom
they were connected, to the utmost of their ability, tar
securing the Acts of Incorporation for both lines," and
who thereby further declared, " That he acquiesced in
aup confirmed the said agreeMent,"
had a petition signed
by himself, and pre.ented to your Lurdships House, as
soon as the Act for incorporating his own company
had been secur-d. setting forth amongst other things
that the said petitioner, John Ennis, was prepared t
show another and a better line Of railway for connccti,:g
together Dublin arid Galway than that which had been
adopted by the Irish Great Western Rail vay Company.
and praying that the Irish Great We tern Railway Bill
might not be allowed to pass.
That following up this open and flagrant violation
of good faith and honour, the Midland Great Western
Company have brought into your Lordships' thus.., in
the present session, a Bill to enable them to construct a
Ratlaay from Mullingar to Athlone and Galway, in
opposition to the said Irish Great We,tern Railway
Company, and in violation of the said agreement.
That your petitioners submit that this breach of a
written engag mint and total disregard of the former

tbw part of the Midland Great Western Company, hav,

serious injury to the

sitv of this educational improvement has long been felt and
acknowledgo. The matter has been zealously taken up by
several most influential and public..spitited gentlemen. with
whom Provost Blaikie, with his usual zeal in the public
service, has heartily co-operated. Others of our civic func-
tionaries are, we understate!, rem friendly to the object in
view. Several professors, with Whom the individuals above
referred to have been in communication, have signified their
entire willingness to engage in the work. We are informed
that, as the result of a meeting, held on Thursday, of
the parties who have chiefly interested themselves in this
movement, including some of the proflsors, with the provost,
in the Council Chamber, it was agreed to try the experiment
of a Summer Session, for certain classes. As tee details must
almost immediately be laid before the public, it is unne-
cessary to say more at presert ; but we must express a
strong hope that the experiment will receive from the pultlic
such support as to afford ample encouragement for carrying
out the scheme on a scale of greater extension in future
seasons—Aberdeen Herald.
LITERARY MEN —We believe The truth to be, that
potent ministers, great commanders, and rulers of every ge-
nius, do not like independent literary men. They fear them
in their erlergYr and applaud their own cunning generosity
when they can stop ttnir late and dying accents with some
paltry pension, or bury them with cathedral honours, or
redeem their widowteor orphans from starvation and the
union workhouse.
