The clauses in this ltill were settled, amended, and passed by the
Committee.

LONDON AND BIRIVIINGIZAIVIC STATIONS.
The next case taken was that of the London and Birmingham
Company, who were the promoters of a Bill for improving and en-
larging their stations at Camden-town and Eustonequare.
'1 he Bill was opposed by several holders of land an houses, whose
property it was proposed to take for the purposes of the improvement.
Mr. It. STEPHENSON, the engineer-in-chief of the London and Bir-
mingham Company, stated to the Committee the inconvenience
which was felt at present from the platforms of the Euston-square
being so restricted that very often some of the arrival trains were
longer than the platform itself. The Bill was for power to remedy
the defeat, as well as to enable the Company to erect new offices and
a new departure station for the northern passenger traffic. The im-
provement of the Camden-town station was a couple of slips for
accommodating the goods traffic.
The Committee declared the preamble to be proved, but the con-
sideration of the clauses was deferred till to-morrow.
The Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL

WAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.)

A special meeting of the proprietors, shareholders,
and scripholders of this Company took place this day,
at the London-bridge terminus, in compliance with the
vessional orders of the House of Commons. The chair
was taken by W. A. Wilkinson, Esq.
The SECRETARY read the advertisement convening
the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said that they were assembled in
consequence of the resolutions of the Houses of Parlia-
ment. The meeting was merely a formal one, as at a
former meeting the proprietary bad decided that the
measures proposed by the Directors were most desirable.
He would therefore propose the three following Bills for
their adoption:—
" A Bill to consolidate and unite the London and
Brighton, and the London and Croydon Railway Com-
panies, and the undertakings belonging to them :"
" A Bill to enable the London and Croydon Railway
Company to construct a Branch to Deptford, and a Wet
Dock and other works connected therewith :"
"A Bill to enable the London and Croydon Railway
Company to make a Railway in extension of the Croy-
don and Epsom Railway to Dorking, in the county of
Surrey :"
The Bills were carried unanimously.
• An HON.I PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the
Duke of Richmond would oppose them?
The CHAIRMAN said, he was not in the Duke of
Richmond's counsel. He had opposed them last year,
but be did not get much by it; so he considered
that ha had enough of it. Besides, he considered
he had already as much as he could do on his
hands in another quarter.—(Laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN said that with respect to the third
Bill before Parliament they had been opposed by
the Grand Surrey Canal, and by certain road
trastees, the consequence of which was they were
obliged to omit that part relating to the wet docks. How-
ever it was a matter of no consequence, as they had
made private arrangements with the dock proprietors
which would fully effectuate their objects.--(Hear.)
Mr. SAISIUDA then made a statement to the pro-
prietors respecting the atmospheric line. He said,
that since he had last the honour of appearing
before the proprietary, th 9 Company had increased

month they had carried 42,000.
A vote of thanks having been given to the directors
and chairman, the meeting separated.
