SOUTH WALES.
---- .4 ‘l"' orT.4 • cik;

A special meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Paddington Station ; Mr. William
Matthews, deputy-chairman presided.
Mr. F. SAUNDERS, the secretary, read the notice
convening the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN said the first resolution be had
to submit was one approving a bill, in compliance
with the standing orders of the House of Lords, for
making a railway from the South Wales line to
Portskewit, a steam-ferry across the river Severn,
and a railway from thence to Bristol. The object
of the promoters was to shorten the communica-
tion by steam and rail from South Wales to the
railways at Bristol and other places. The directors
of the South Wales Company thought it desirable
to encourage the undertaking, and they had agreed
to subscribe a sum not exceeding 26,0001. In lieu
of this amount they might be called upon to make
about a mile of railwayfromtheir line to the Severn,
at Portskewit.
After a few observations from Mr. RIDGWAY and
other shareholders, a formal resolution approving
the bill was adopted.
The CHAIRMAN said the next matter for their
consideration related to the intended construction
of the Pembroke branch. It would be recollected
that just before the last meeting an injunction had
been obtained to restrain the company from paying
any dividend until the Pembroke line was com-
pleted. An arrangement had been come to with
the parties, in order to liberate the dividend. The
terms of the arrangement were to the effect that
the directcrs of the South Wales Railway were to
obtain the assent of the shareholders prior to the
Ist July next to the arrangement for making the
branch railway from Lang`mna. to Pembroke by the
end of 1860, and that the company would make
application to Parliament iu the ensuing session for
power to construct the line in accordance with the
agreement. He concluded by moving a formal
resolution, approving the agreement, dated. 20th
Feb. last, in respect to the construction of the,
Pembroke branch, and authorising the necessary
steps to be taken.
After some observations from Mr. Ridgway, Mr.
Alen, Mr. Rees, and other shareholders, the reso-
lution was adopted, and the proceedings termi-
nated.
