LONDON, SALISBURY, and YEOVIL

JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY

A special general meeting of the Shareholders hi this Com-
pany was held this morning at the London Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the
complete amalgamation of the three undermentioned com-
panies, so soon as they shall have obtained their respective
Acts of Parliament—namely, the London, Salisbury, and
Yeovil Railway Company, the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor-
chester Railway Company, and the Cornwall and Devon
Central Railway.

Mr. John Chapman, one of the Directors, occupied the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting,
remarked that their Noble Chairman was prevented by his
country engagements from attending; while their Hon. Vice-
Chairman (Mr. Ashley) was detained by his duties of at-
tendant upon her Majesty the Queen Dowager, in Worces-
tershire. He might, however, add, that he had that morning
receiveda letter from Lord Winchester, wherein he expressed
his regret at being unable to attend, and said he was strongly
in favour of an amalgamation. Of course he need not point
out to them the nature of the three Companies, because they
must long ago have made themselves masters of the whole
project, but he might just premise that the three railways
formed a complete and uninterrupted line from the South-
Western line to the Land's End. The first of these,
the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil, proposed to go from
Basingstoke to Yeovil; the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester
ran from Yeovil to Exeter; and the third, the Cornwall and
Ilevon Central Railway, continued the line on down to the
Land's End. The two first Companies came to an arrange-
ment some time ago to amalgamate, and so far as they were
concerned, there was hardly any necessity for their calling
them together. It was at all times, however, of vast im-
portance that the Directors and Shareholders should be upon
a good understanding, and every important item connected
with the undertaking should both have the approval of
the Shareholders as of the Directors. Internally the ar-
rangements to be submitted to the meeting had already been
agreed upon ; but before going into Parliament it was of
importance that those arrangements should be ratified by
the unanimous voice of the Shareholders, and made fully
known to the public. The Legislature, in the last session,
acknowledged that the object they had in view was of vast
importance; and that object being countenanced by the
almost unanimous support of the population of the dis-
tricts through which their line passed, and in fact
01 the public generally, they had every hope and chance of
success. If any Honourable Proprietor wished to ask any
questions, or make any observations on the subject of the
amalgamation, he should be most happy to hear them.
After a pause, _ _

The CHAIRMAN continued. No one appearing inclined to
make any remark upon the question before the meeting, he
presumed they had perfect and entire confidence in their
Directors, and he, for one, felt flattered and grateful to them for
it. With the permission of the meeting, he would volunteer a
little information. The limes newspaper had lately called
upon all the new companies to tell the public what amount
of subscription they had raised, and the nature and extent
of their funds. Now, as neither the public nor the Times had
anything to do with their bouks,they declined to comply with
the request of the Times, but they had no objection to tell the
Proprietors, who had a right to know what the state of their
funds were. The amount to be subscribed by the London, Yeo-
vil, and Salisbury Company was 1,500,000/. The deposits were
all paid and the shares distributed, with the exception of some
300 or 400, and the subscription list contained names that
would do credit to any company, not excepting the London
and °Birmingham and Grand Junction. The subscribed capital
of Yeovil, Eastern, and Dorchester, was 1,300,033/. The
deposits were all paid, and the shares distributed. With
regard to the Central Railway. the capital was 3,000,000/. ;
and he might state that the deposits were all
paid, and the capital subscribed for. The necessary
deposits, which were 10 per cent., gave them a very large
sum indeed, but it would be satisfactory to know that it was
fluctuating at interest in the hands of their bankers.
A resolution confirming the amalgamation was then
agreed to, and the Directors having been authorised to take
whatever steps they might deem necessary for carrying the
arrangement out, a vote of thanks was paned to the Chair-
man, and the meeting terminated.

CORN WALL AND DE VON CEN-
TRAL RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
A special General Meeting of the Shareholders in this
Company was held in the same room immediately after, to
consider the propriety of amalgamating with the London,
Salisbury, and Yeovil, ar.d Exeter, Yeovil and Dorchester
• Railway Companies. Humphrey Williams, Esq., in the
chair.
The usual formalities having been gone through,
The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the meeting. It
was simply the consideration of the resolution which had
been agreed to that morning by the eastern portion of
the line. He thought it as much the interest of the western
potion of the line to amalgamate as any other of the
companies. One great reason was, that a large extent of
railroad could be much more efficiently and economically-
managed than a small one. The Chairman, after stating
that he was in the hands of the meeting, concluded by
reading the resolution for amalgamation, which was to be
submitted.
In answer to a Proprietor respecting the whole route of the
lines proposed to be amalgamated,
The CHAIRMAN said the complete scheme formed a junction
a ith the South-Western Railway at Basingstoke, from which it
passed by Whitchurch, Andover;.Salisbury, Wilton, Yeovil,
Crcokham, Hocnerton, and Exeter; from thence the line took
the back bone of the county into Cornwall, following
as nearly as possible the mailcoach road to Fal-
mouth and Penzance. A line was also proposed
between Falmouth and Plymouth, which would be
of the greatest importance this line was in a great mea-
sure completed; in fact with regard to the whole scheme he
might say that the surveys were in the most forward state.
Nothing would be wanting to complete all that Parliament
required. The sections and plans would be lodged in good
time, and he was sure no error would be found that
would prove inimical to their application. He was happy to
have a little more information to give, which had just been
communicated to him. Negotiaions were at presentgoing on
down stairs, with the Directors of the South Western Com-
pany, which he had no doubt would be concluded
in free minutes, and would result in a total amalgamation
of the four lines from London to the Land's End.—(Cheers.)
He was also gratified to say, the whole capital of the lines
for which they were about to apply to Parliament was sub-
scribed and allotted, with certain necessary reservations, and
the deposits all paid up.
Mr. CHAPMAN spoke at some length in favour of
the amalgamated scheme, and condemned the proceedings of .
the Great Western Company, which he characterised as a
gross monopoly, that had never acted in a manner commen-
curate with the public interests.
Sergeant GAZELEE and Mr. ARCHER followed in the same
strain, expressing the opinion that the whole of the West of 1
England were anxious to free themselves from the thrall of 1
1 the Great Western Company. _

After some further dia.cus-sion the Chairman retired a few
minutes, and on his return intimated that he was happy
to state that the basis of an arrangement had
been just concluded with the South Western Company and
and the other companies interested for an amalgamation of
the whole. The details would have yet to be settled,
though he might say the principle of this most important union
was settled. (The announcement was received with loud and
general cheering.) He hoped in a short time to have the
pleasure of calling them together, to submit a resolution on
that important question, and now he would put the motion
fur which the present meeting had been called.
The resolution was then put and unanimously carried.
The meeting, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman,
separated.

Sir Robert and Lady Peel will be honoured by a
large ynd distinguished circle at Drayton Manor next week.
Sir Robert H. Inglis, Bart., M.P., is shortly ex-
pected to return fiom a tour in the Peninsula.
We are enabled to state that the Bishop of Car-
lisle, who, at the close of last week, was dangerously ill at
Rose Castle, near Carlisle, his Lordship's episcopal residence,
is now much better.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE HON. CAPTAIN LEICESTER.
—WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.---The remains of the late Hon.
Captain Leicester (who expired at his apartments in the In-
fantry barracks on the 7th instant), the only brother of
Lord de Tabley, were interred this day, at St. George's
Chapel, with military honours.
CONFIRMATION OF THE ELECTION OF THE BISHOP
OF BATII AND WEus.—Yesterday forenoon, at eleven
o'clock, the solemn ceremonial of the confimation of the elec-
tion of the Bishop of Bath and Wells (late Bishop of Oxford)

sion were Dr. Burnaby, vicar-geneal, Dr. Phillimore, the

tered in due form, and the proper service read, the newly-
