RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.

A meeting of the shareholders in thiscompany 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 had 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 advisability of accepting such offer. Mr. Thomp-
son and Mr. East would tell them the exact nature of
the offer.

Mr. TI:IO2dPSON said the London and North-Western
Railway Company had made an offer to this company of
4} per cent., and the arrangement stood open for the de-
cision of the directors, who had full power to call in first
counsel. He need not tell them that the offer made by
the London and North-Western Company was far be-
yond that made by the Great Western, for be 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.) Ho would, therefore, strongly advise them to
make certain of this 4A per cent., although, at the same
time, he must confess that he considered their line was
worth more.

It was then moved that the meeting highly approved
of the course taken by Sir W.Whi►e, Mr. Thompson, Mr.
East, and others, in endeavouring to obtain adequate
terms for the shareholders d the Shrewsbury and Chester
Company.
A long discussion ensued relative to the agreement
which had been entered into with the Great Western
Company by the directors of this company; after which
the resolution was carried by a large majority.
Mr. PULLEY then move:t that Sir W. 11'hite, Mr.
Thompson, Mr. East, or any other gentlemen, be ap-
pointed as part of a committee of five shareholders, re-
presenting that body, to make such agreement with the
London and North-Western Company, under the advice
of counsel, as they might deem best for securing a cer-
tain and adequate dividend; such agreement to be sub-
mitted to the shareholders for confirmation or otherwise;
end that the directors be called upo❑ 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 Mr. C. EAST,
After some further explanations from Mr. ROY, the
resolution was carried.

Mr. Thompson, Mr. East, Major-General M'lnnes, 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 se-
parated.

THE BRITISH PI • SRERIES.--The Great Exhibition
now affords an excellent opportunity to all persons in-
terested iu the improvements of deep sea fisheries. The
different models of fishing-vessels belonging to Great
Britain, with tishing-lincs, nets, and other apparatus, col-
lected together and arranged in Class 29, situated under the
north. cud of transept on the galleries, is both highly
creditable to the contributors and Executive Committee.
The models of fishing-vessels 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 fur 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 fish 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 or
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-ptbpeller,
a model of which, by Mr. J. E. Saunders, is in this depart-
ment, arrived at Grimsby a few days since, from Norway,
with 20,600 lobsters on board, all alive in the vessel's well.
