DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY
• COMPANY.--:(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the shareholders in this railway was
held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
submitting the plaa'of their proceedings in tne ensuing
Parliament.
The advertisement having been read,
Mr. CAPPER was called to the chair, and in a few re-
marks stated that their engineer, Sir John Rennie, bad
resigned, and Mr. John Miller was elected in his stead.
He was happy to say, that although their expenses in
the late contest in Parliament had been very heavy, they
had still money and money's worth left, and the prices
of shares in the market at that time were higher than
when originally issued. He should call upon the Secre-
tary at once to read the Directors' and the Engineer's
report.
The Secretary then read the reports alluded to,
After stating the course pursued during'the last session
before the Committee of the House of Commons, and
their defeat by the London and York, the report thus
proceeded :
" Holding it to be now settled, leeyond doubt, that a new
line from London to York would be sanctioned, irrespective
of existing routes, and being convinced that the scheme of
the London and York does not satisfy the main conditions
which ought to attach to such a line, as a communication
of great national importance, your Directors instructed Mr.
John Miller, the distinguished engineer of the North British
Railway (to whom they have now committed the entire
charge of the engineering department) to examine the
country between London and York, and to report to them
bikopinion, with a view to future proepedings, ..•
" let his opinion the Directors most heartily concur, and
they propose acting upon it, by carrying out the system of
railway therein recommended.
" To the North British, the Great North of England, and
the other lines which form the eastern route to Scotland, the
formation of the shortest line from London to York is of vital
importance, and the Directors think themselves justified in
anticipating that the scheme recommended by Mr. Miller
will receive the cordial support and co-operation of these
Companies, as well as of the population generally of the
north-eastern portion of Great Britain.
"In Mr. Miller's hands the Directors are confident that
they will be enabled to submit to Parliament a main line
which shall be at least ten miles shorter than that proposed
by the London and York, and which, combined with the
necessary branches, will give a greater amount of local ac-
commodatien.
" The Directors are enabled to state that the gross amount
of expenses incurred will be about thirty shillings per share,
and, consequently, to such Shareholders as may desire to
withdraw from the further prosecution of the undertaking,
there will remain the sum of, say from 17s. to 11. per share
on their original deposits of 21.105. per share to be returned.
"Having maturely considered all the circumstances of the
case, the Directors have conic to the determination that the
original project of an integral line from the metropolis to
York on the direct principle, and under one management,
ought to be resumed and proceeded with in the ensuing ses-
sion of Parliament.
" For this purpose the Directors propose that the required
capital of 4,000,000/. shall be divided into 160,000 shares of
251. each, those Shareholders who may desire to continue
their interest in the undertaking being entitled, with the
sanction of the Directors, to exchange their Scrip Certificates
of 50/. each for two new shares of 25/. each, on paying up
such further sum per share as, with the remainder of the
former deposit, will make up 10 per cent. upon the capital
now required to be deposited by the Standing Orders of the
House of Lords. As to any shares that may,remain at the
disposal of the Directors, after carrying out this arrange-
ment, they will consider a preference to be due to approved
holders of the present Scrip."
The report of Mr. Miller, the engineer, was then read,
recommending a direct line from London to York in pre-
ference to a line which should more particularly study
the local accommodation of the district. He proposed
that those local disadvantages should be met by a system
of branch lines.
Mr. J. BLACK proposed that the reports should be re-
ceived and adopted, and that the thanks of the Share-
holders be tended to the Directors for their exertions.
Mr. CROMBIE, after a few observations, seconded the
resolution, which was unanimously adopted.
Mr. ROBERTSON proposed a resolntion to the effect
that the capital of the Company should ho 4,000,0001.,
divided into 25/. shares, with a deposit of V. los. per
share, the holders of present scrip to receive the first
allotment.
• This resolution was seconded by Mr. LAWSEN.
After a few questions from Mr. Gore, as to whether
any opposition might be expected to their schemes from
the Cambridge and Lincoln and the North-Eastern
Railwa) s, to which the Chairman replied in the nega-
tive, the meeting broke up after a vote of thanks to the
Chairman. .

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. TIIE WEA-
THER.—Both yesterday and to-day we have had splendid
weather. More favourable for the outstanding crops it could
scarcely have been; and there is still sufficient wheat, &c.,
uncut in the neighbourhood to make a continuance of this
brilliant and warm weather desirable. This evening it is very
gloomy.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 9.—STATE OF CAVAN.—Neither
of the projected meetings took place at Killishandra yesterday.
The troops were all in readiness, but fortunately there was no
occasion for their services. The Evening Post of this after-
noon says :—" Our letters from Cavan this morning state that
