RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.
A meeting of the shareholders in this company Was
held yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the relative advantage of an
alliance with the North-Western Company, as compared
with that propOsed by the directors with the Great
Western Company; Sir William White in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, stated
that the present meeting bad been called for the purpose
of considering the offer made by the London and
North-Western Company to this company, and for ap-
pointing a committee to confer with the shareholders as
to the advisabilit) of accepting such offer. Mr. Thomp-
son and Mr. Eat would tell them the exact nature of
the offer.

Mr. TnomrsoN said the London and North-Western
Railway Company had made an offer to this company of
4i per cent., and the ariangetu,nt stood open lir the de-
cision of the directors, who had full power to call in first
counsel. He need not telt them that the offer made by
the Loudon and North-Western Company was far be-
yond that made by the Great Western, for he had no
doubt that the Great Western proposal would end in the
same way as they usually did, or similarly to their en-
gagement with the South Wales Company.—(Hear,
hear.) He would, therefore, strongly advise them to
make certain of this 41 per ct.nt., although, at the same
time, he must confess that he considered their line was
worth more.

It was th. n moved that the meeting highly approved
of the course Wien by Sic W.Wblre, Mr. Thompson, Mr.
East, aid others, in endeavouring to obtain adequate
terms for the shareholders f the Shrewsbury and Chester
Company.
A long discussion ensued relative to the agreement
which had been entered into s‘itti the Great Western
Company by the directors of this company; after which
the resokui n as carried by a large. majority.
Mr. PULLEY then moved that Sir W. ‘.l3ite, Mr.
Thompson, Mr. East, or any other gentlemen, he ap-
pointed us part of committee of five shareholders, re-
presenting that body, to make such agreement with the
London and North- Western C,,mpany, under the advice
of counsel, as they might deem best fur securing a cer-
tain and adequate dividend; such agreement to be sub-
mitted to the shareholders tor confirmation or otherwise;
and that the directors be called 'upon to furnish the
shareholders with copies of the agreement proposed or
alleged to have been made with the Great Western
Company.
This having been seconded by Air. C. EAST,
After some further explanations from Mr. Rer, the
resolution was carried.

Mr. Thompson, Air. East, Major-General Mimes, and
Dr. Fraser were then appointed as a committee, to con-
fer with the shareholders in Scotland and elsewhere; and
after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting es-
parated.

and the charges of the Royal Horse Artillery, preceded
ri
the Lancers, and the manner in which they
took up
by
their
positions being remarkably good. Two troops of the Lancer*
made excellent charges, advancing through
the centre of the
troops, and wheeling with great rapidity, the one to the
right and the other to the left of the whole troops-
The batteries had a fine effect when of the
they tired amongst the
trees at the west ,nd of the upper parth common. The

THE BRITISH Great Exhibition
FISHERIES.—Tbe
now affords an excellent opportunity to all persons in-
terested in the improvements of deep sea fisheries. The
different models of fishing-vessels belonging to Great
Britain, with fishing-lines, nets, and other apparatus, col-
lected together and arranged in Class 29, situated under the
north end of transept on the galleries, is both highly
creditable to the contributors and Esecutive Committee.
The models of fothing-ve.ssels with their gear being in a de-
partment by themselves, there being no models of other
description of vessels near them to detract attention, the
mind is enabled to dwell uninterruptedly on the subject be•
fore the eye for contemplation. At this department a
beautiful contrast is readily shown of the real and true ad-
vantages the decked-welled smack must possess over an open
boat, for supplying markets with the best quality of fish, and
in the freshest possible condition. When tish are hauled out
of the sea and hove into an open boat's bottom, they die
very shortly afterwards, and if not used that day or the day
following they become unfit for use in a fresh state. In the
welled-smack the fish are kept alive for several days er
weeks if required. The advantages possessed by the
decked vessels for safety, comfort, and being better calcu-
lated as nurseries for training youth to be active able sea•
men is also shown at a single glance. The Pearl fishing-
smack, eighty tons burden, with improved screw-propeller,
a model of which, by Mr. J. B. Saunders, is in this depart-
ment, arrived at Grimsby a few days since, from Norway,
with 20,000 lobsters on board, all alive in the yesservwell.
