The adjourned •Wharncliffe meeting was held
on Thursday at the Paddington Station, Mr. Daniel
Gooch, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in
the chair. There were only two bills ready, and
these were unanimously assented to. The first
was " A bill to authorise the Shrewsbury and
Potteries Junction Railway Company to deviate
from and to alter parts of their authorised works,
and to make new branch and junction railways
and diversion of roads in connection with their
authorised works, and to amend the ' Shrews-
bury and Potteries Junction Railway Act, 1865,'
and to authorise the admission of the said company
to participate in the ownership of the Wellington
and Drayton Railway, and for other purposes." The
chairman explained that, so far as the Great West-
ern were concerned, this was what was called a per-
missive bill. The second was "A bill to authorise
the Stourbridge Railway Company to construct rail-
ways to Amblecote and Cookley, and branches at
Spon-lane and Stourbridge, and to raise additional
capital, and for other purposes." The chairman
stated that one of the objects of this bill was to
carry out an agreement which had already been dis-
cussed and sanctioned by the shareholders in this
company. The meeting adjourned until the 21st inst.

used in either external or internal diseases. Holloway's ointment should be well rubbed on the throat and chest in
sore throat, enlarged glands, chronic cough, and wheezing.
In common catarrh and influenza the ointment well rubbed
upon the walls of the chest, aided by a few doses of the
pills, soon effects a cure. The same treatment judiciously
followed up removes diphtheria, asthma, bronchitis,
pleurisy, and prevents the deep inflammation resulting in
abscess or ulceration, so apt to ensue where throat or chest
complaints are neglected.

An adjourned meeting of this company was held
on Thursday, at the Waterloo station, for the
purpose of considering certain bills now pending in
Parliament—Capt. Mangles in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said he was sorry to have called

the shareholders together, as the business of the day

was only a matter of form; but he was obliged to do
so, as they were all well aware. The bill he had now
to submit to them was a bill for making railways
from the Great Western Railway at West Drayton,
in the county of Middlesex, to Colnbrook and to the
Windsor branch of the London and South-Western
Railway at Staines, in the county of Middlesex. He
explained that the bill was brought into Parliment
by a separate company. The capital was to be found
by the new company, and the only clauses which
affected this company were those giving them power
to make working arrangements with the Great
Western Railway in connection with this line, and
also as to the terms of those working arrangements.
It was no scheme of the South-Western Company,
and was not promoted by them. He moved a reso-
lution approving the bill.
Mr. llvr9iirms seconded the motion, which was
carried.

The meeting was then made special for the pur-
pose of considering a bill for conferring further
powers on the Great Western Railway Company in
relation to their own undertaking, and the under-
takings of other railway companies, and for other
purposes. ,

The SOLICITOR explained that this bill. was pro-
moted by the Great Western Company. The South
Western Company was under working arrange-
ments with the Weymouth and Portland Railway
Company, and it was expedient that those arrange-
ments should be varied, but before an alteration
could be made the terms would be submitted to the
shareholders. This bill also gave this company
powers to make working arrangements with the
Great Western Company.
The CHAIRMAN said that they had a line to Dor-
chester, and this new line was promoted by a sepa-
rate company for continuing the railway on to
Weymouth, and it would be of considerable ad-
vantage to the South Western Railway.
A SHAREHOLDER asked if both companies—the
London and South Western and the Great West-
ern—were to have running powers over the line?
The CHAIRMAN said it was a joint lease. He
might mention that the line was already open for
traffic. He moved a resolution approving the bill.
Mr. DUTTON seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.

A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the
proceedings.
