LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
To the Scripholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above

Company.
A Committee of Shareholders in the London and York 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, er in any way improve their position.
The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciation 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 and York Com-
Deny must absorb all the deposits. If the Act beobtained, calls must
Immediately follow ; and the majority of the scripholdem will avoid
registration, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of
corning 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 London and York Company, may, for the sake of
protection and certainty to their ewn shareholders, be still open to
some liberal compromise, and that the London and York directors
aad shareholders ought, either by-diminishing the extent of their
Undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount of calls to re-
love the pressure which will come en 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 steps ought to be immedi-
ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, if 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,
in the line should 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 position of
several well-supported Companies, who, before the Committee of the
House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6
to 8 per cent., proves 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 extract from
the " Times" of the Bth or April, might alone be deemed sufficient)—
" The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are
Seraphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the Landon and Oxford
hallway, as reported in ye'terday's paper :
"'Mr. I. K. Brand, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have
so increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines 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 now 50 per cent, more than at this time last
sear.
" 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 for a few minutes, the Chairman announced
that the Committee were unanimously of °pillion that the preamble
of the London and Oxford had not been proved.'"
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,
have to appear before a similar tribunal as that Of the detlinct 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-
and every shareholder and subscriber to the deed is
mittee-rOOlll5,
earnestly requested to return the same signed impumbleidclately, in order
that the directors may be conferred with, or a
may be deemed most expedient for the preltneceteltoinngofcothne-
veried, as
interests of all parties.
