RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

COVENTRY CANAL, AND OXFORD, COVENTRY,

AND BURTON-ON-TRENT.

COVENTRY, TUESDAY.-A special general meeting of the
proprietors cf. the Coventry Canal Navigation was held this
day at the Canal-office, for the purpose of taking into consi-
deration and determining on the propriety of applying to
Parliament next session for power to convert the canal into
a railway. The meeting was most numerously attended.
Among the proptiotors present were Lord Somerville, the
Hon. and Rev. W. Somerville, W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P.,
Francis Railton, Esq., the Rev. T. C. Adams, the Rev. G.
Woodcock, Rev. R. R. Vaughton, A. Herbert, Esq., &c.
The chair was filled by W. S. Dugdale, Esq., M.P. From
the statements made to the meeting on the part of the Com-
mittee of Management, it appeared that a company had been
formed to make a railway from the Oxford and Rugby Rail-
way, near Southern, by Coventry, to Burton-on-Trent, which
company solicited the support of the Canal Company; and
the Committee recommended the project to the favourable
consideration of the canal proprietors, as in their judgment it
would be highly beneficial to the public, and conducive to
the interests of the proprietors, as the projectors propose t )
purchase the depots and warehouses at Coventry, together
with that portion of the canal which lies between Coventry
and Hawkesbury, an arrangement which would in no way
affect the chain of communication between London and Man-
chester. The Committee of Management therefore recom-
mend to the meeting the adoption of the necessary resolu-
tions, to enable the Committee to give their cordial support
to the measure.

This commmunication produced a long discussion.
Mr. F. BAILDO proposed that the Committee of this Com-
pany shall be, and they are hereby empowered to sell that
part of this canal, buildings, and land which lie between the
city of Coventry and the junction of this canal with the
Oxford canal at Ilawkesbury, including the Company's
wharf, warehouses, land, buildings, and property at Coventry,
or to grant a lease of the same for any term of years, or to
convert the same into a railway, and to apply to Parliament,
if necessary, for the purpose.
The Rev. G. WooDcom seconded the resolution, which
was unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed that the support of this
Company be given to the projected Oxford, Coventry, and
Burton-on-Trent Junction Railway Company, which was
unanimously adopted.
It was intimated that most of the canal proprietors present
consented to act on the Provisional Committee of the Oxford,
Coventry, and Burton•on-Trent Junction Railway, and that.
Mr. Dugdale consented to become the chairman.
