said that popular favour was fleeting. He (Mr. O'Connell) bad
been popular for 45 years ; S. O'Brien would be popular for a
longer period.—(Cheers.) ti.e people of Ireland were true—
never did a nation so emphatically deserve the name.—(Cheers )
S. O'Brien's career was commencing as his ( Mr. O'Connell's) was
about to close, and he thanked God he would h:tve such a successor.
Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN proposed the health of the Chairman, which
was followed by that of "The Hierarchy and €iergy of Ireland,"
for which
The Roman Catholic Dean Com. returned thanks.

DIRECT LOIN-DON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.
On Saturde.v the arrangement for the union and amalga-
mation of the tw; companies formed for making a direct
,
railroad between Londonand Manchester was signed by
an of the Direct London and
John DiHMI Visq., the Chaim:.
Manchester Illtilitayf and Co' Leicester Stanhope, the
Chairman of the tilted Independeni London and Man-
chester Railway.
The arrangement recites that the two companies shall be
united into one when the Bill shall have passed.
That the Direct London and 31anchester Railway shall
alone apply to Parliament for the Act.
That the two companies shall have ad pqual number of
Directors.
That the Chairman of the Direct Company, John ”illon,
Esq., shall be the chairman of the 24 directors; and
Andrew Caldecott, Esq., and the Hon. Colonel Leicester
Stanhope, shall be the deputy chairmen.
That the object of the agreement ard the parties to it shall
be the making a direct line of railway from London to Man-
chester, as economically as possible, to carry goods and pas-
sengers at the cheapest possible remunerating tariff, with the
greatest possible expedition consistently with safety ; and
that the interests of the trade between London and Manches-
ter, and the promises made to the public by each Company,
shall be the guiding principles of the Directors.
That Messrs. Ashurst and Son, Messrs. Ludlow, Son, and
Torr, and John Owens, Esq., shall be the solicitors.
That J. U. Rastrick and George Remington, Esqs., shall
be the joint engineers.

BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAYS.
A considerable sensation was caused on Saturday in Liver-
pool by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London
and Birmingham Railway- Company with that of the
.Grand
Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable
consequences to the Proprietors, and will, it is expected,
lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calcu-
lation of the respective interests of the parties, it appeared,
that while the London and Birmingham line yielded the
full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a
condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation
of the two properties for equal dividends in future required
that the Grand Junction shares should be " written up'.
twenty pounds per share ; and it was, therefore, agreed
that new shares of twenty pounds each should be created,
free of cost, to be added to the original shares, and the
whole formed into common stock, entitled to common divi-
dends from the Ist of October instant. It has been deter-
mined, also, we understand, that on the London and Bir-
mingham line the Company will now commence being their
own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once
be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods
and passengers, so as to render the calculations upon which
any project of competing lines may be based extremely un-
promising. By arrangements in progress the consolidated Co-
mpany will proceed to establish what has long been considered a
desideratum, a complete s% stem of trunk line from London to
Glasgow (via the Carlisle and the Caledonian) ; and fronfLon-
don to Holyhead, and across Ireland ; and they have decided to
mconrage in every way the formations into such trunk lines of
Cie most direct lines subserving the trade of the country
It is felt that these gigantic operations will " be a heavy.
blow and great discouragement" to many of the projects re-
cently afloat, while they give stability to many schemes of
undoubted utility.—Lirerpool Mercury.
