RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY MOVEMENT IN
SCOTLAND.

An important movement is now being made, origi-
nated by the members of the Stock Exchange in Glasgow,
for the purpose of putting a stop to the great majority—
upwards of thirty—of the Scottish Railway schemes now
before Parliament. The nature of the movement is thus
described in the Scottish journals :
" At a meeting of the scripholders representing a large
amount of scrip in the numerous Scottish railway com-
panies, called into existence by the recent mania, it was
considered prudent and advisable, under the altered cir-
cumstances of the country, to adopt measures to put a
stop to further expensive proceedings going on in Lan-
don, and to have many of the schemes, which do not ap-
pear to be at present required, wound up. From the un-
saleable state of the various scrips, and the already em-
barrassed condition of the money market, as well as the
unfortunate position in which the country would be
placed from the extreme difficulty, if net inability, to
meet the unprecedented demand for capital which would
immediately and necessarily arise were any considerable
number of the numerous new schemes now before Par-
liament to obtain Acts, it must be apparent that the steps
proposed to be taken will not only be attended with the
greatest advantage to all concerned, but to Scotland
generally.
" Those who approve of such a course are requested
immediately to call at N 0.45, George-street, Edinburgh,
where they will find petitionsfor signature to the various
committees of the railways which it is proposed should
be wound up. For similar purposes in Glasgow—at the
writing chambers of William Steele, jun., 6, South
Hanover-street.
