EXAMPLES.

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN CON-
NECTING RAILWAY.
The Scripholders' Committee have to announce that a Deputation
of their Body had an interview with the Managing Directors, on the
19th instant, when specific answers were promised to a series of
questions relating to the affairs of the Company. The Answers re-
ceived are most unsatisfactory. The Directors state that they

" Cannot possibly give the amount of expenses," and that they
" Do not intend to call a Meeting under the Sessional Order, until
after the second reading," which stands for the 29th instant. It is,
therefore, of the utmost importance, that THE PETITION TO
PARLIAMENT TO STAY THE BILL, which has already received
the support of nearly Four Thousand Scripholders, should before
that day be signed by a clear majority.
Scripholders who have not Signed the Petition, ALTHOUGH
THEY MAY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DISSENT TO THE
COMPANY, are earnestly requested to apply, without &lay, to Mr.
G. D. Clark, Manager of the Scripholders' Protection-bffice, No. 11,
Bucklersbury. Those at a distance will, on application, receive
instructions and forms of authority to sign and vote.
For the Scripholders' Committee,
THOMAS HARVEY, Chairman.
11, Bucklersbury, May 23d, 1846. •

TRENT VALLEY MIDLANDS and GRAND
JUNCTION RAILWAY.

The Committee of Management have to inform their Shareholderp,
that the Committee appointed to decide upon the group of railways
in which this Company's project is included, has been appointed to
meet on MONDAY NEXT.

The Subscribers are already aware that an arrangement for amal-
gamation has been concluded with the South Staffordshire Company,
and that therefore the main expense of a Parliamentary conflict will
be avoided ; the only point open for decision in Committee being,
whether the route proposed by this Company or that proposed by
the opposing Company shall be adopted.
The conclusion of the Committee on this point cannot involve any
lengthened sittings, awl so soon as it shall be announced, the Share-
holders will be in a condition to arrive at a'satisfactory vote upon the
entire measure.

The Directors have, therefore, thought it expedient to postpone the
meeting, which could otherwise have been immediately convoked, in
Obedience to the new Sessional Orders; but it wil, be called on as
early a day subsequent to the decision of the Committee as the requi-
site forms will allow.
