JONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
To the Seripholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above

Company.
A Committee of Shareholders in the London and Yark 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 depreciatl,n 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 aid York Com-
pany must absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must
immediately follow ; and the mejority of the scripholdens 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 Parlia-
mentary Contract.
This fearful position of matters has induced the Committee to con-
sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are the strong
opponents of the Lakes 1 and York Company, may, for the sake of
protection and certait ty to their own shareholders, be still open to
some liberal compronds,, and that the London and York directors
and shareholders onglit, either by diminishing the extent of their
undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount off calls to re-
lave the pressure which will come on their subscribers), or by some
absorption 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 stets ought to be Immedi-
ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, it' 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,
or the line sh uld 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 positios of
several well-supported Companies who, before the Committee of the
House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from
to 8 per cent., prows that success on the part of the London and
York Railway, in obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the
subscribers and scripholders ; and if any other argument was needed
to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extra"t from
the " Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be ceemeti sufficient :
" The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are
_graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the Loudon and Oxford
_Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper :
4' 'Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have
So Increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lilies 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 new 50 per cent. mere 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 far a few minutes, the Chairman announced
that the Committee were unanimously of op uton tbat the preamble
of the London and Oxford had not been prov, d."
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,
stave to appear before a similar tribunal as that of the defunct London
and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to
ascertain if the shareholders concur in any of their views, for which
purpose the following printed form may be obtained at the Com-
mittee-rooms, and every shareholder and subscriber to the deed 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 meet 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 fir an
abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalgamation
with the Eastern Counties Line, or, Thirdly, of having the C ,mpany
At Once dissolved.
I would prefer the• of these alternatives, and I authorise
the Committee of Shareholders to represent my opinion to the Legis-
liaLure, and to pray Parliament to carry the same into effect, or to re-
sect the London and York Bill.

LONDON AND YORK COMMITTEE OF
SHAREHOLDERS.
The LONDON COMMITTEE for carrying out the above objects,
earnestly desire the co-operation of every scripholder in the pro-
vinces, and they therefore suggest that PUBLIC MEETINGS be
immediately convened in the following towns:—BIRMINGHAM
MANCHESTER, LIVERPOOL, LEED,•, HULL, HALIFAX,
BR I)FORD, BOSTON, LEICESTER, NEWCASTLE, NOTTING-
HAM, PRESTON, SHEFFIELD, S ! AMFORD, LINCOLN, WAKE-
FIELD, YORK, EDIN,;URGII, GLASG. ,W, and ABERDEEN.
It would alio IA advisable that the Provincial Committees, or
Chairman presiding at such meetings, should admit no persons,
except those producing and regist, ring their scrip, names, and ad-
dresses in a book, to he kept at the door for such purpose, so that
the bona fide intentions of such meeting of shareholders be properly
represented to the London Committee.
By order of the Committee,

.OND ON AND YORK RAILWAY.
The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the
original Subscribers and actual Holders of Shares in this Company to
as advertisement dated the 16th instant, and by the Secretary of the
Company, expressing the confidence of the Directors in obtain!ng
their Bill. The Committee, considering this the greatest misfortune
that can happen to the Shareholders, the more earnestly .invite all
those from whom they have not yet received communications, to
lose no time in recording their opinion in accordance with the sug-
gestions contained in the circular issued by the Committee on the
14th instant.
The holders of many thousand shares have already returned their
concurrence with the views of the Committee; and the progress thus
far made leaves no doubt on the minds of the Committee of their ul-
timate success.
The Committee, in reply to many letters received, offering pecuni-
ary support, beg to state that they decline resolving any subscriptions,
and intend personally bearing all tll expenses, unless the body of
Shareholders in the London and York line vote their payment from
the general funds.

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
The Committee of Shareholders on the London and York
Railway view with satis:action the advertisement in this morning's
papers from the London and York Directors, and signed by the Se-
cretary, J. R. Mowan, announcing that their attention is being
directed " to the i raeticability of treating with any rivals upon
terms advantageous to the London and York Shareholders."
The Committee feel that the steps they are taking will reduce
from theory to practice the wish of the Directors, and facilitate In
the most effectual manner the attainment of the object which they
now for the first time announce their Intention to accomplish, and
the Committee have much satisfaction in apprising the Share-
holders that the answers they have already received establish be-
yond a doubt that the Proprietors will adopt the views which led
to the formation of this Committee, and which they consider as the
only means of escape from liabilities and engagements of a most
ruinous nature.
