THE FENIAN SPEECH AT CORK.

Mr. GRAVES said he thought the notice given lu the
early part of the evening scarcely met the gravity of Vie
question; he therefore gave notice that on the motion for
going into committee of supply, he should call the atten-
tion of the house to the recent events iu Ireland, and ask
certain questiong. (Lowd cries of "Hear, hoar," and
cheers.)

Mr. GLA DsToNE said with a view to progress b,ing
made with the Irish CLurch Bill. he should ask the. hou o
to hold a morning sitting on Tuesday next from two to

seven o'clock.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER.

Yesterday the Parliamentary Committee re-
sumed its sitting on the bill ; Mr. Dent, M.P., in
the chair.

Mr. VENABLES, Q.C., who appeared for the rail-
way company, stated that the interval since the
adjournment on Friday had been spent by the
directors in carefully considering what course they
would adopt, and he thought that if the committee
consented to the proposition he was about to
make, there would no longer be any opposition on
the part of any considerable body of persons in-
terested in the company's affairs. The clause which,
with the consent of his learned friends, the company
Dow proposed was as follows :—" The Boardg may
forthwith issue the A debenture stock by the Ar-
rangement Act, 1867, authorised, for the purposes
therein described ; and if it shall appear to the
arbitrators that it is expedient, for the payment of
pressing claims against the company and for satis-
fying any rights, claims, or liens on land by general
creditors, that the amount el A debenture stock
should be increased to any sum not exceeding,
together with the 5600,000 of that stock authorised
by the Arrangement Act, 1867, the sum of £950,000,
and the arbitrators shall issue a certificate or certi-
ficates to that effect under their hands, the Board
shall create and hue A debenture stock to such
further amount as shall be directed by such certifi-
cate or certificates, and in that event all the enact-
ments and provisions of the Arrangement Act, 1867,
with reference to A debenture stock shall be read
and construed, and may be acted upon by the Board,
as if £950,000 and not £600,000 were the amount
of the said stock by that Act authorise.] to be created
and issued," &c. Although that increased the total
sum which the arbitrators might authorise, it must
not be forgotten that the lands when freed would
realise about £250,000, when the A debenture stock
would be recouped by that amount, so that the ar-
bitrators would practically only have the power to
authorise an additional £lOO,OOO beyond the
£600,000 authorised by the Act of 1867. The
principle was agreed to, though he was not quite
sure the clause was drawn to meet that view. lie
hoped that, as the proposal the company now made
was agreed to by all parties substantially interested,
the committee would adopt it.

Mr. MERENVETHER, Q.C., on the part of the city
lenders, stated his approval of the proposal made
by Mr. Venal)les.

Mr. RODWELL, (4.C., on behalf of the mortgagees
And creditori, and Mr. Fry, on behalf of the Gene-
ral Credit Cornpartie9., likewise intimated their con-
sent to the arrangement. .

Mr. BRIDGE, who appeared for the trustees under
the rolling stock deed and for certain mortgagees,
and Mr. Littler, who represented Metropolitan
Extension debenture-holder, dissented from the
company's proposal. Mr. Littler's ground of oppo-
sition was that though his clients had every Confi-
dence in the arbitrators, they could not consent to
their having power to raise more capital over the
leads of the Metropolitan Extension debenture-
holders.

Mr. Hodgkinson and Mr. Forbes were ex mined
on the part of the company in support of Mr.
Venables's statemen*, and the committee thee ad-
journed until to-day.

BUFFALO AND LAKE HURON.
The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the City Terminus
Hotel Cannon-street ; Mr. E. Heselti3e iu the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that their relations with the Grand
Trunk Company were not very satisfactory. The
portion of the traffic to which they were entitled
for the half-year ending on the 31st of December
last was about £20,000, and they had not yet
received it. Ile thought it hard that the Grand
Trunk Company should have been in receipt of the
joint traffic from July to December last, and now it
was April, without having paid them. According
to the-agreement of the sth of November last, the
Buffalo Company were to be debited with £l,OOO
for interest on additional capital, and credited with
£5OO for office expenses. In the Grand •Frunk ac-
counts the former item w‘is inserted, but the letter
item was omitted. That was the way of doing
mess. The agreement of the sth of November lest
was for the settlement of past differences, but all
the money was not yet paid, there being a bill fer
£lO,OOO due, together with the £20,000 he Pal
mentioned, lie lad expressed great reluctance to
entertain any new agreement until they were
settled with for the past.
Mr. Cox seconded the motion, which, after a
short discussion, was carried unanimously, and the
other ordinary business was adjourned.
The special meeting was then held, to obtain the
opinion of the proprietors in respect of the heads of
agreement, dated the 19th of November last, for a
lease of the line, commencing at a rental of
£42,500 a year and gradually rising to £65,000 a
year, in addition to which the ordinary shares of the
Buffalo Company were to rank with the ordinary
shares of the Grand Trunk Compiny.
The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors had
entertained the matter so far as to bring it before
the proprietors because they believed that some of
the large shareholders were favourable to it, but it
subsequently appeared that meetings were held in
Liverpool, and memorials representing one-third of
the capital were sent to the board against the agree-
ment. Ile then moved a formal resolution to the
effect that the heads of agreement of the 19th of
November, made between this company and the
Grand Trunk Company, be approved and adopted.
Mr. Cox, a director, said it was his duty, as a
matter of form, to second the motion.
A discussion ensued in which Mr. Villesboisnet,
Mr. Wright, Mr. Healey, Dr. Rose, and Mr. Ash-
ton took part, and it resulted in the unanimous re-
jection of the heads of agreement. It appeared
that proxies representing 37,054 votes were recorded
against the heads of agreement and 3,230 votes in
favour of them ; majority, 33,824 votes.
On the motion of Mr. STerr, seconded by Mr.
HEALEY, a resolution was passed to the effect that
the company was prepared to receive any other pro-
posal that might be made.

The ordinary business was then r,sume-I, and, in
compliance with th 3 desire of the Liverpool share-
holders, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Stitt, Mr. Ashton, and
Mr. Healey were unanimously elected directors of
the company.

A rote of thanks to the chairman concl'aded the
proceedings.
