once to return to the Holders of Scrip 10s. per Share, out of the

SALES BY AUCTION.

THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.

R. GEORGE ROBINS. feels very great
pleasure in intimating to the public that he has been selected
by the worthy Proprietor to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION, on
THURSDAY, the 16th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart,
London, in lots of one share each,
A considerable portion of
TIIE " GLOBE" JOURNAL,

a paper of which it is not a little difficult to do justice in the common
language of praise. First, it may be well to state the reason why a por-
tion of a paper so deservedly high in the public estimation (and
never at any period inn, prouder position than at this Juncture)
should be in the market It is not a littlo refreshing to Mr. Robins
to be called upon for this explanation.
THE PRINCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS
A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE
in this

" LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH,"
and has presided over its destinies for many years, at length has
reached the

VENERABLE AGE OF EIGHTY-TWO,

a period of life, which is but rarely vouchsafed to mankind, and,
although in the enjoyment of excellent health, it may be conceded
to the honourable Proprietor, that he should have a few years un-
alloyed from the daily pursuit of literature and profit. It belongs to
him especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title
to consistency ; indeed he has, without deviation, pursued the even
tenor of his course. This Journal has always resisted every insidious
offer to compromise its character. It has traversed its beaten path
for many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheered
by the knowledge that
CHARACTER AND CONSISTENCY IS THE MOTTO CLAIMED
ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE."
If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladden
the hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to
its just pitch of renown to know that it never was more in public
estimation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur-
chaser an importan• query) will suggest itself, how has its income
fluctuated, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins
hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the fullest satisfaction on that
and indeed every othar point. The statement of profits during the
last ten years is before the writer of this announcement, from which
he collects the fact, that the Shares
HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGH A VALUE AS AT
THE PRESENT MOMENT.
The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail in the printed Par-
ticulars of the Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. The
paper, it is known, is divided into

SIXTY-TWO SHARES.
THE VENERABLE VENDOR
AT THIS SALE POSSESSES AND WILL SELL
NINETEEN SHARES.
"HOW INFLUENTIAL AND HOW VALUABLE"

must be the privilege of one who could possess himself of the whole
of these shares, and following closely in the track of his prede-
cessor, may continue to enjoy such an income as is not derivable
from many London journals. Much more might and ought to be re-
ported in favour of this
" FONDLING OF THE PRESS."

The printed Particulars will supply any deficiency, the rest will
form a short exordium on the memorable day when this portion
of the

" GLOBE" CHANGES HANDS.

The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the
Sale ; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe,"
and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

FORD ABBEY, IN DORSETSHIRE.
THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY, THE
FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ITS NEVER-ENDING DE-
LIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF
GAME, AND SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND,
" THOUGH LAST NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE
MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR
THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONASTERY
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL
ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE
VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON
LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS
NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH
WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica-
tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 9th
of July, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trus-
tees for absolute sale, one of
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins,
without the slightest affectation, proclaims that tie ap-
proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by
which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and
deeply-read community is alone to be found in the liberty the com-
poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be
a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale
is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the
herculean task must be approached.
THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES
are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since
maintained its proud superiority over
EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND.
It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising
Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey--
An old, old monastery once, and now
Still older mansion, of a rich and tare
Mis'd Gothic, such as artists all allow
Few specimens yet left us can compare.

extending to about
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES
OF RICH MEADOW. PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that
they are paid by a compromise with the
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through Willetthall. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build-
ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it
A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS

CAN NOT BE EXCELLED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND ;
AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN
THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY,
"THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN.
AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING
THE LAST TEN YEARS."

PUBLICATIONS.

Its classic front
EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET.
The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated
about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is
felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com-
poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt
to do it justice—it is indeed
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST.
Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to
generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid
the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country.
The first impression on beholding this
ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE
the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his
mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and reli-
gious state—one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound-
less admiration ; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot
too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob-
jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ;
they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is
to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded
to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu-
sion ; the form prescribed to the length ofan announcement will not ad-
mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to
go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at
least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ;
and he is fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly
talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections
of her own, and guided by ajudgment and cleverness that has never
been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant
parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par-
ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a
beautiful drawing of the Abbey.
The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of es. It is
on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and
Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles
from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5)4 hours
from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will
reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty
minutes' ride of Exeter. The county in which the Abbey
istile placedtigiegood
selection
will not yield to any other. The reader needs not
be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks

H E DAILY NEWS
NEW LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPER,

Price Twopence Halfpenny. "
Published in time for the Morning Mails.
Whitefriars, June 11th.

The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that
the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or
so punctually as might • reasonably have been anticipated. Their
apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded
all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required
numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the
Morning Expiesses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office
orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impossible,
to distribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing
such orders were unavoidable. They trust, however, that their ar-
rangements are now so compete as to insure the Subscribers against
all chance •f delay : yet, as all the respectable News Agents have
given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have
announced by advertisement their willingness to supply the paper
for 16s. 4d. per quarter—payment being made in advance—the Pro-
prietors recommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct
from a News Agent, and only when there is an apparent difficulty
transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY
NEWS Office, Whitefriars, London.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
orgrtefb conceanzl, and dinappolntmente keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's gly'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health frill threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate Import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but It is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within-the attainment of all ;by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.
The author's justification for this seeming ealogy of Ms own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guaran tee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit-

umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with or-

here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is
one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob-
tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the
soft undulating foliage of its magnificent and
TIME-HONOURED TREES -
is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost
boundless extent, and imparting just such an air of tempered wild-
ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those
who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend-
ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in-
crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the orna-
mental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded—
Before the mansion lay a lucid lake,
Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed
By a river, which its softened way did take

SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders was held in the Town-
hall, Perth, on Friday, the 12th current, for the purpose
of considering the Bills for that Company's Extension,
and for their amalgamation with the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway Company, Major Murray Stirling in
the chair.
The Bills for the various extensions were submitted to
the meeting, and approved of unanimously.
In submitting the Bill for the proposed amalgamation,
the CHAIRMAN stated that, from what he understood as
to the sentiments of some of the shareholders, he was
afraid that the same unanimity would not prevail in re-
gard to the arrangement with the Edinburgh and Glas-
gow Railway Company. He felt it to be his duty to
state that the directors had gone into that arrangement
after mature deliberation, and upon the conviction that
it was likely to prove highly advantageous to the Com-
pany. It was most important for them to stand on a
friendly footing with a company like the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Company, who had the command of a
very large portion of the best traffic of the Central line ;
and by the arrangement which they had made, not only
was this secured, but a conclusion put to the very pro-
tracted and serious hostilities in which they had been
long engaged with that powerful company and which
they were likely to continue to I), engaged in unless
some arrangement had been come to. A guarantee of
51- per cent, had been secured to the holders of the ori-
;

of their exceeding a dividend of 51 per cent. They were
entitled to look to this, considering the great prosperity
of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, as a most fa-
vourable alliance ; and the directors had thought it their
duty to the shareholders to close with these terms. He
was aware, however, that a different view was taken by
some of the shareholders, and he would request the
secretary to read to the meeting a letter which the
directors had received on the subject from several large
shareholders.

The letter, which was in the following terms, was
,hen read. _ _ _

London, June 8, 1846.

Gentlemen,—lt was our wish to have attended thv
general meeting of shareholders, called for the 12th inst.
at Perth, to consider the Bill for carrying the proposed
amalgamation of the Scottish Central with the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Railway into effect, but as our engage-
ments render that impossible, we take this method of
bringing under your notice the views which we enter-
tain of the proposed arrangement, in which we are
deeply interested, as large shareholders-of the Central
stock.

by the from

companies and the Lancaster, and Carlisle, and Caledo-
nian railways. It was upon this ground that it was at
first favourably reported upon by the Board of Trade,
and subsequently sanctioned by Parliament, in the face
of the strenuous opposition of the Edinburgh and Glas.
gow Railway Company. The reason for this opposition
was apparent, in the interest which that company had
to prevent the north and south traffic from proceeding
in the direct, its natural, course, and so avoiding their
line. That same interest is still in operation ; and,
doubtless, it was that which led to their offering the
terms of amalgamation which are now before us.
It is clear, therefore, that the public interests must
suffer by an amalgamation, whatever its effects may be
upon those of the shareholders. You will be met by
this objection the moment the Bill goes into committee,
and, for ourselves, we cannot doubt that it will be fatal
to its passing. To hold otherwise would be neither
more nor less than to hold that the principle which
guided the Board of Trade, and which subsequently was
established in Parliament, after the protracted contest of
last year, is to be overturned this year, the facts re-
maining precisely the same.
We, therefore, hold the arrangement with the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Company to have been from the first
inexpedient, and in violation of the principle on which
we obtained our Act.

But we should, nevertheless, not have made any
effort to disturb that arrangement, if it appeared cer-
tain that Parliament would sanction it. But when the
reverse is the case—when the engagements made with
the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company are likely to be
set aside, whether we desire it or not—and when we
are compelled, by the resolutions lately passed in Par-
liament, to come forward and express our opinions afresh
on the arrangements entered into by our directors,
we think we are bound to consider it in all its bear-
ings, and to act in such a manner as a regard to our
own interests requires. Better terms might, we think,
have been obtained from the southern companies, in-
cluding a guarantee on the new as well a.
the old stock ; and it is within our own per-
sonal knowledge—and we vouch for the fact—
that these are still within our reach, and might I
be immediately secured, if we were in a condition
to treat—in other words, if the present arrangement
were put an end to at the meeting of the 12th, as we
confidently trust it will be. An arrangement with the
companies south of us would not be liable to the same
objections in Parliament as the amalgamation now
proposed. They are our natural allies—they have already
been treated by the Board of Trade and by Parliament
as such. Our interests are identical. The more closely
we can be brought together the better both for the
public and ourselves. For every reason, therefore, we
conceive it to be for the interest of the shareholders to
withold their approval of the present Bill, and so make
way for the adjustment of terms with the Southern Com-
panies, in place of going before the committee and being
defeated, as we apprehend they certainly will be.
We feel it our duty to record our protest against the
competency of the meeting, called for the 12th, giving
their approval to the proposed arrangements. The Bill
deals with the new stock as well as the old, but the
holders of the new stock have not been summoned, and
we maintain that no binding resolution can be come to
at that meeting in a matter in which their interests aro
so deeply concerned.
It is most probable that many proxies may be trans-
mitted to you, to be used at the meeting in favour of the
measure, by parties who are in ignorance of the true
state of matters, and of the advantageous terms which
may be secured from the Southern Companies, We
submit that these proxies cannot with propriety be acted
upon without an opportunity being first afforded to the
parties of re-considering their position.
We have to request that you will oblige us by directing
this letter to be read to the meeting, and we remain,
Gentlemen,

better offers must be given by kestim
whose interests were naturally identified witl
to whoiii it was of the last importance to sect re this im-
pdtant link in the great trunk line of communication
from north to south. Besides, if the amalgamation were
approved of at this meeting, what would be the result ?
They would go to Parliament with the certainty of being
defeated, and if they were defeated, the southern com-
panies would not have the same incentive to offer them
high terms as they had now. Those partners of the
Company who were in the same position as himself, as
holding only the new stock, had an additional reason for
disapproval of this amalgamation, inasmuch as they had
no guarantee, while they were made to undertake all the
responsibilities of their copartners; he, therefore, begged
to propose the following amendment:—
" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the
amalgamation proposed by the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway Company with the Scottish Central Company,
will not prove advantageous to the interests of the pro-
prietors of this Company in general, and that the terms
are most unjust to the proprietors of the new shares in
the Scottish Central Company, by excluding them from
the guarantee for the payment of 5f per cent. interest
on their capital.
" That, according to the report of the Select Committee
of the House of Commons on the amalgamation of' the
railway companies, and the recorded decisions of Parlia-
mentary Committees, there is every reason to anticipate
that the proposed amalgamation with the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Railway Company will not be sanctioned.
•"That the meeting resolves, that the amalgamation
with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company
be not approved."
The CHAIRMAN then stated that he feared the amend-
ment could not be proposed to the meeting by Majer
Richardson, as he was merely a scripholder ; upon
which Major Richardson protested against this decision,
and requested his protest to be entered in the minutes.
Mr. MARTIN, a shareholder, then stated that he was
willing to adopt Major Richardson's amendment, and to
move it. In doing so, he begged particularly to guard
himself and the gentlemen concurring in his views,
against any charge of breach of faith with the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company. In ordinary
circumstances they would not have thought of disturbing
the arrangement, however disadvantageous they might
have thought it, after it had been approved of by a gene-
ral meeting, as this had been. But they were specially
called on by the Government resolutions to reconsider
their position, and to record their opinions anew upon
these arguments. It surely was not intended that they
were to meet merely to reiterate their former opinion,
whether they continued the same or not ; but that they
were to be free to act as if no such opinion had been ex-
'
pressed. In proposing that the amalgamation should
not be approved of, he did not go so much upon the
question whether the terms obtained from the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Railway were good or not. He was not
prepared to go into an investigation of that Company's
seven or eight millions of liabilities ; nor could he hope
to satisfy any meeting such as this as to whether their
liabilities were judiciously incurred or not. But what
his friends and himself went upon was this—that how-
ever advantageous the amalgamation might be for the
shareholders of the Central, Parliament never would
sanction it. By agreeing to go on with the amalgama-
tion, the Central were again embarking in the expensive
discussion of last year, whether the through traffic was
to be given to the Central lines, or to the Edinburgh
and Glasgow, and the coast lines running south from its
termini ; and in doing so the Central would be driven to
take up the very arguments which had been used against
themselves last year, by this very Edinburgh and Glas-
gow Company, and which they had then succeeded in
overturning. They would have against them the report
of the Board of Trade, the recorded decision of both
Houses last session, and, in addition to this, the very
formidable opposition of the Great Central South lines,
and a large portion of their own shareholders. That
this struggle must end in defeat he could have no doubt,
and its expense would form kvery serious and profitless
addition to their expenditure. He concluded by moving
Major Richardson's amendment.
Mr. DAVID RITCHIE seconded the amendment.
The motion and amendment were then put from the
chair, when there were found to be 206 votes for the
motion, and 140 votes for the amendment. The result
of this vote, we understand, will put an end to the annul.
gamation of the Companies, as the approval of" at least
three-fifths" of the proprietors present at this meeting is
required by the standing orders. Three-fifths of the
votes is 207, while only 206 voted for the measure.
The meeting then broke up, after a vote of thanks, on
the motion of Major Richardson, to the Chairman.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

EXPERIMENTAL TRIP WITH THE MONSTER
ENGINE (THE GREAT WESTERN) TO
BRISTOL.
We live in strange and stirring times, and it becomes
our duty therefore to chronicle strange and almost un-
believable facts. In travelling, the slow and sure prin-
ciple of our ancestors has given way to the rapid anal
safe principles of the present day. A few years ago
we should have been designated madmen, had we stated
our belief it the possibility or IMPIERfreg in London,
taking our luncheon in Bristol, and returning to the
metropolis in time for dinner. Such a feat, however, we
accomplished on Saturday last, thanks to the daring
energy and unflagging perseverance of those who have
the management of that stupendous undertaking, the
Great Western Railway Company :
A select party were' on Saturday invited by the
Directors of the Great Western Company to accompany
them in an experimental trip to Bristol, with the
double purpose of testing the power of their new engine
and of manifesting the advantages 11 hich they allege
the broad gauge possesses over its rival, the narrow
gauge. The engine in question was built by Mr.
Gooch, for the company, and its powers on trial have,
been deemed so extraordinary as to warrant the di-
rectors in taking the most effectual means for testing
them, and of placing the results in an unexceptionable
shape before the public. We believe it was at first in-
tended to tax the powers of speed of the new engine to
their fullest extent, and to show what speed could be
attained with a comparatively light load. It was at
first contemplated to carry a load of 80 tons at a speed
of somewhere about 78 miles an hour. It was under-
stood that the engine could accomplish this with com-
parative ease, as in some previous experimental trips the
engine attained the extraordinary rapidity of 79imtles an
hour with a light load. It was eventually decided that
the trip should:be made with a load of shalt 110 tons,
at a speed which would accomplish the distance be-
tween the stations at Paddington and Bristol, a dis-
tance of nearly 118 miles, in about two hours and ten
minutes, including stoppages ; averaging, at this rate,
a speed of upwards of 55 miles an hour ,• but, allowing
for stoppages, about 56 miles per hour. At a quarter to
12 the mammoth engine of the railway world, The
Great Western, was attached to the carriages, 14 in num-
ber, weighing, as we have before stated, 110 tons,
and at 10 minutes before 12 o'clock exactly the train
set off at almost lightning speed. Nothing could be
more delightful than the ease, smoothness, and safety of
the performance of the powerful engine by which the
train was propelled. Trees, hedges, villages, and sta-
tions, appeared and disappeared with the rapidity of
thought, and yet the passenger—whirled along as swift
as the wind—felt no other sensation than those of plea-
sure and complete security. We passed the Slough
station, a distance of 18 miles from London, at 10
minutes past twelve ; Maidenhead station, 22i miles, at
a quarter past 12 ; Tw_yford, 3011 miles, at 24 minutes

The Chairman then put the motion that the bl
be approved of, which was seconded by Mr. John
Murray.
Major Richardson, a scripholder of the company's
new stocks, was proceeding to address the meeting,
when it was objected by Mr. Oliphant of condie, that
he was not entitled to take any part in the proceedings,
as this was a meeting of the company incorporated by
the Aet of last year, and not of the scripholders. A
meeting had already been held of the scripholders, and
they had given their decision on the subject. Major
Richardson stated, that his information was that this
Bill had not been submitted to any meeting of scrip-
holders, who, it must be borne in mind, held one-third
of the stock of the whole company, and had, therefore,
a most vital interest in the measure, and begged to ask
the secretary whether his information was correct or
not.
Mr. KERR, the secretary, stated that the Bill for the
amalgamation had not been submitted to any meeting
of the scripholders.
After some discussion as to the right of Major
Richardson to be heard, the CHAIRMAN stated, that al-
though the meeting would be most happy to listen to
anything which Major Richardson might have to urge
on the part of the scripholders in regard to the subject
before them, it was not, he feared, in their power to
receive his vote.
Major RICHARDSON then stated that he appeared on
behalf of himself and other large scripholders of the
new stock of this Company to express their views in re-
gard to the proposed amalgamation, bywhich he conceived
their interests to be most deeply affected. The two most
important steps in a man's life were the choice of a wife
and of a partner. Of the two, the latter was the more cri-
tical, because it was more difficult to get rid of a bad part-
ner than of a bad wife. The first point, therefore, for
them to consider was, what were the liabilities of their
proposed partners, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Rail-
way? He should be very sorry to intrude upon them
any exparte views of his own on this subject, but he was
able to bring the most conclusive evidence from the most
unexceptionable quarter. He held in his hand the evi-
dence of the Company's own manager, Mr. Gregson, be-
fore the Select Committee of the House of Commons on
amalgamation, given so lately as the Ist of last month,
from which it appeared that the Company were engaged
in the-promotion of seven new lines, and that they were
connected, as guaranteeing a certain dividend upon a
certain capital, with seven other railways, and three ex-
isting canals. In this way, while the original capital
of the Company was only 1,687,500/., it was involved in
schemes embracing a capital of between seven and eight
millions. This was in itself a very startling fact, and
the meeting ought to consider very deliberately before
they entered into a partner Ship with a company which
had so suddenly increased its liabilities to this enormous
extent. They were justified in regarding the manage-
ment of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway with ex-
treme suspicion, when they found from Mr. Gregson's
evidence that his services had been secured with the view
of redeeming the Company from the insolvent position
into which it had fallen. He was asked by the Chair-
man of the Committee, whether he was employed to
take the charge of those railways " in consequence of
the state in which thy were ?" and what was his re-
ply ? " Certainly. The proprietors of these undertak-
ings found that their affairs were in such is
state that it required some person of much experience
in the management both of railways and canals, to
take charge of them with the view to obtain a dividend."
Was this a company with which the Scottish Central
ought to court an alliance ? His friends and himself
thought not. The Scottish Central, from its position,
held the key to the whole North of Scotland, and must
always be one of the best, if not the very best, line in
Scotland. Let it stand alone, and it must yield a better
dividend than the Edinburgh and Glasgow had guaran-
teed ; and, if they did stand aloof, he was satisfied that

dream, which is accomplished daily, and is now a mere
matter-of-fact occurrence. We can understand the pro-
digious velocity with which an avalanche of necessity
descends an inclined plane, but to find the same speed
realised by mechanical skill, an a plane in which the
gradients are sometimes much beyond the horizontal
level. is to the unscientific little short of miraculous. As
