COUNTIES RAILWAYS.
The Committee of the London and York Shareholders, finding
that the Directors, without consulting the Shareholders, or calling
public meeting to ascertain their sentiments, have entered into ar-
rangements by which the Shareholders will be sacrificed unless they
protect themselves, beg to call attention to the following terms of
amalgamation which they have arranged with the Eastern Counties
Company, subject to the approval of Parliament.
Ist. That if the London and York Bill shall not pass into a law,
and the Extension line to York of the Eastern Counties Company be
sanctioned by Parliament, in the present or next session, the share-
holders In the London and York Company who shall assent to the
amalgamation prior to the decision of Parliament on the Bill,
shall
be entPled to one Eastern Counties (York Extension) Share of 151.,
in respect of each 501. share in the London end York Company, and
of each two London and York Extension tihares of 251.
That each such Share of 151. shall, when so issued, be credited
With the deposit of ten shillings, as having been paid thereon.
The Committee with the greatest conflden:e appeal to the Share-
haiders, collectively sad Individually, whether the terms of this amal •
gatnation he not far preferable for their interests to those announced
by the Directors of the London and York Company on the sth of
May, as having taken place with the Direct Northern Company.
• The advertisement of the London and York Company, calling for
the Scrip to be brought in and indorsed with the terms of amalga-
tion with the Direct Northern Company, is evidently for the purpose
of informing Parliament what number of assents to that amalgama-
tion have been given. In like manner, and for the like purpose the
Committee request the Shareholders to produce the Scrip to their Com-
Mittee, at No. 4, wise-lane, accompanied, to save time, with a me-
morandum stating the name and address of the holder, the quantity
of Scrip,theadand be and the distinguishing numbers ; and, on these being
co
found correct, the Scrip will marked, so as to secure
the holder the benefit of the amalgamation with the Eastern Counties
Company, WiliCh.
preferable in a pecuniary point of view, and
equally guaranteed and certain.

TO TIIF•• CH- AND DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON
AND YORK RAILWAY. Shareholders' Committee ltaoms,4,Size-lane, Ilacklersbury,
London, May 5, 1846
Gentlemen,—The Committee of shareolders' have learnt with
surprise that you have rejected the proposal of the Eastern Counties
without first ascertaining the feeling of your Shareholders
ComPanY'
with regard to it.
The Committee, baying in view only the good of the Shareholders,
extremely regret that the course they have taken should be to ob °al-
sonalitieous wit yr Bhoaregard to them .rd, and that you should hav in an
e indulged n
ous
any per-
The Committee are determined nothing shall induce them
sight of the courtesy which, as gentlemen, they de
to lose
sire to exhibit to your Board. They now, therefore, most-
respectfully, as large Shareholders, and the repre•entatives
of large Shareholders in the London and York Railway, re-
quest your Board to immediately convene a pu'lie meeting of the
Shareholders, wlth a view to obtain their decision, in conformit
with the late Parliamentary resolutions, as to the proprietary of the
London and York Bill proceeding further. The object of the Com-
mittee in making this application is, if possilole, to save the expense
of a Parliamentary contest, which they anticipate will be followed
by a dissolution of the Company. —I have the honour to remain,
Gentle Men, your most obedient servant,
JOSEPH LA'MERT,
Chairman of the Committee of Shareholders.

ONDON and YORK RAILIVAir.
, Brothv Sharcholders,—Be cautious. If you get your shares
marked so as to entitle you to the " Eastern Counties Extension"
shares, you will have the benefit of the Eastern Counties Extensions,
if their Bill panes, and can fall back on the Amalgam![ on with the
Direct Northern, if the London and York Bill passes. If you consent
to the Amalgamation with the Direct Northern, and the London and
York Bill falls, you lose all chance of the Eastern Counties offer.
Think which Is best. You will, in a few days, find binding your
shares to tths Direct Northern Amalgamation will make them un-
saleable. The public will not buy shares on which they have only one
61423_ce, but those on which they have two chances, viz., the benefit
R°dug converted into stock of the Company that gets its Bill,
hethei it is the Eastern Counties York Extensions or the London
and York. A SHAREHOLDER.
