TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE
LYONS AND AVIGNON RAILWAY (SEBASTIANTS)
COMPANY.,
62, King William-street. London, Juno 24, 184 G.
Gentlemen—The lease of this line having been at length conceded
by the French Government, your directors lose no time in reporting
to you the result of their proem inns.
They need scam ly remind you that, at the time of your original
association, you were without competitors, and a reasonable expec-
tation was entertained of obtaining the lease for this company on
favourable terms. More recently, however, it became appal, nt
that, by reason of the delay which had intervened, and during
which great changes had occurred, we had no chance of obtaining
the undivided possession of the lease, without submitting to terms
which would have rendered the possession of the whole tar less be-
nelcial, than the occupation of a part of a concession made on more
advantageous terms. Our attention has, therefore, been for some
time past directed to affect an amalgamation of interests between
our own Company and the strongest of oar competitors; and find-
ing that the Company represented by Mr. Taia,ot was supported by
the greatest amount of local interest and wealth, we placed our-
selves in eommunication, and ultimately in alliance with them. A
deputation of our body pro:ceded to Paris to carry this object into
effect, and the result of the negotiation was an agreement that, in
case that Company should btain the lease, 23,320 shares of 500
francs (20/.) each. should be handed over to your directors for ac-
count of the shareholders, and for rateable distribution among them.
We have now the satisfaction to state that the lease has been oh-
ta vied by Mr. Tal.tbot's Company, on terms quite satisfactory. The
duration of the lease is 44 years, 294 days.
It remains tor us Only at the present taoment to point out that the
above number of shares divided rateably amongst your body will
give to each shareholder in this (Sebastimes) Company one con-
stituted share in respect of every seven held by him in this Company.
When the number of shares is not exactly divisible by 7, we i ropose
to issue temporary memoranda, or scrips representing fractions of
shares, to be afterwards called in and exchanged for integral
sh tree, upon terms which will be fully explained on the face of the
document.

The deposit on the constituted shares is fixed at 125 francs (50
ash •re ; and there will, therefore, be returnable to the share-
holders the sum of 91., together with one share in the constituted
Company, in exchange for every seven shares in this Company.
You are requested to transmit, at your earliest convenience, to
this office, 62, Kng William-street, City, from 11 till 3 our present
letters of allotment and bankers' receipts, and you will then be fu
nished with proper forms upon your signature, of which your con-
st•tuted shares will he duly registered in your respective names, and
the balance of yuur deposits will be returned to you.
We are, Gentlemen, your obedient servants,

The Oregon Treaty had not been presented to the

Mr. Allen bad resigned on that day the Chairmanship

Mr. Hannegan's resolution to determine the adjourn•

An impression appeared to be gaining ground that
Mexico was on the point of soliciting the termination
of hostilities. Rumours of a wide revolt against the
Lower of Paredes were also current.
