BANDON and -BANTRY RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the scripholders in this Company was
held this day, at the London Tavern, fur the purpose of
determining whether the company should be dissolved.
The Rev. Somers Payne was voted to the chair.
The advertisement convening the meeting having
been read, scrutineers were appointed, and during their
investigation,

---
Mr. STEVENS read a report, from which it appeared
that in consequence of the resolution come to by the
shareholders on the 6th of June last, the directors
bad resolved to withdraw the B 11. It appeared
further that the committee received a deposit of
11. 7s. 6d. on 17,156 shares, being within:lso of the entire
number mentioned in the Bill. This produced a sum of
24,552/. Os. 10d., to which as to be added a sum
of 137/. 17s. ld. for interest, making together
24,6891. 17s. ld. The actual disbursements up
to the present time amounted to 12,233/. 4s. 3d.,
leaving a balance of 12,456/. 12s. 10d. The directors
regretted they could not make satisfactory arrangements
with their solicitors and engineers, the demands of the
latter being so large, that they did not deem themselves
justified in discharging them. They were, therefore,
=able to declare a final dividend of the depo-
sits I still, not wishing to keep so large a
sum ht hand, they proposed to pay immediately
ss. per sfiltre, and the remainder when the accounts
should be finally closed. Against the above named sum
d 12,456!. it appeared that there were claims to the
=mount of 11,413 L The report concluded by stating
that the directors felt extreme regret at the abandonment
of the line, which they believed to be a bona fide
-undertaking, in which they bad little doubt would be car-
Tied out, as it was in continuation of,the Cork and Bandon
Railway, and in that case that their present works would
be available.
1,, It was then proposed that the Company should be dis-
Jaolvee, and the resolatiOn having been seconded, was
ex:ried unanimously.

It was then proposed, seconded, and carried, that the
dissolution of the Company should not be considered an
act of, bankruptcy.
Some of the shareholders expressed themselves as dis-
satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the
Company had been conducted, and thought they should
have made the dissolution an act of bankruptcy.
The scrutineers reported that the number of shares
present was only 3,141, which not being the requisite
number, the meeting adjourned after some desultory dis-
cussion.

LEICESTER and BEDFORD RAIL-
WAY.-(THIS DAY.)

In consequence of there not being a sufficient number
of scripholders at the last meeting of the Company, held
a week ago, an adjourned meeting took place to-day, at
the London Tavern. The object of the meeting was
for the purpose of ascertaining the sense of the share-
holders as to the dissolution of the Company.
R. LINDSELL, Esq., took the chair shortly after one
o'clock, upon doing which he stated that the directors
and a committee of the shareholders had had an inter-
view with Mr. Hudson, at Derby, on Wednesday last,
at which a long discussion took place, and in
the course of which Mr. Hudson stated that
if the directors wished to do anything with him they
must abandon the whole 1 ine and leave it in his hands.
The directors thinking the adoption of such a course in-
compatible with their previous arrrangements, declined
to accede to it, and stated to Mr. Hudson that they had
only half the line to dispose of, upon which Mr. Hud-
son declined to enter into any arrangement, stating it
was his intention to adopt the best line between
Leicester and London, giving equal advantages to
the Eastern Counties Railway and the Direct
Northern. The result was, that no arrangement was
entered into with Mr. Hudson. At that 'interview
Mr. Hudson had stated to him (the chairman) that
he was -in error in stating that there was
a division in the Committee of the House of
Lords, and that the rejection of the Bill was carried by
a majority of one only, for the fact was, the Committee
were unanimous on the rejection of the Bill. All that
he (the chairman) could say with respect to that was,
that he had received his information from a gentleman
of undoubted respectability, and upon that information
he made the statement be did to the meeting. The
worthy gentleman concluded by moving a resolution
that the Company should be dissolved.
Mr. CORRIE, one of the deputation to Mr. Hudson
from the shareholders, thought that the interests of the
shareholders would have been best consulted by adopt-
ing Mr. Hudson's proposition, and not pursuing the
course that had been pursued.
Some considerable discussion then took place, in which
Mr. Franklin and Mr. Richardson, two of the deputa-
tion, joined, and which ended in the adoption of the
resolution for the dissolutionlof the Company, that reso-
lution not being considered an act of bankruptcy.
The CHAIRMAN in the course of his statements, in
answer to the observations that had been made, stated
that he bad no doubt that the communication with Mr.
Hudson would be renewed ; not at the suggestion of the
Leicester and Bedford Railway Company, but at that of
the South Midland.—The meeting then separated.
