Non W
n EASTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday a special
meeting
of the shareholders of the above company was
held at York; H. S. Thomson, Esq., the chairman, pre-
siding. The chairman asked the assent of the share-
holders, first, to an application to Parliament for power
to construct a branch (12i miles long) from the Bishop
Conside Auckland line to the Ironworks
The esti-
mated cost was 10,0001. per mile. This branch would
open out a large coalfield, and also would be used for
the conveyance of iron from the Conside Ironworks. He
presented a calculation, according to which theproprie-
tors would obtain 7 per cent. for the
outlay!on this work.
The next question was with reference to the directors
applying for power to amalgamate the Hartlepool Dock
and Railway Company with the North-Eastern Company
in accordance with the agreement contained in the lease
granted in 1843. He moved resolutions embodying these
propositions, and Mr. Leeman, deputy chairntan, se-
conded the same. Mr. &mime, of Leeds, deprecated, in
strong terms, the ruinous policy of making fresh additions
to their capital in the present state of the money market.
Re moved, as an amendment, "That no branches or
extensions be allowed while money is worth more than
the average dividend of this company." Mr. Gregson,
of Newcastle, seconded the amendment, but the resolu-
tion was carried by a considerable majority.

of the above railway was held at the Great Northern

2981. 18s. Bd. Preparations were being made for de-
veloping goods traffic on the Gilderscree branch, and
the works on the Ardsley branch were proceeding satis-
factorily. There would be- no difficulty in cGuspleting
this latter line so as to be opened simultaneously with
the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway, which it
Joined, and which would form its southern outlet. A
dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was agreed
to, aod a balance of 1741. ordered to be carried to the
reserve fund, The receipts of the railway for the
quarter ending the 30th of September have been, for
liiassengers, 3,7401. ; for goods, 2,3281. Several other
r!sall items make up a total of 6,2261. The expenditure
of the railway for the quarter has been about 2,6001.,
