ng to those locally interested the merits of the line, and with '
a view of ascertaining their sentiments. It is intended to
form a direct communication from the seaport of Southend
to Chelmsford, there crossing the Eastern Counties, and
proceeding to the north-west of Dunmow, and forming a
junction with the Northern and Eastern at or near Saffron
Walden. Branches are projected from the main line at
Rochford to Burnham, a good seaport; from Great Baddow
to Maldon, from Dunmow to Braintree and Coggleshall,
to join the Eastern Counties at Marks Tey, and from
Dunmow to Bishops Stortford. The line runs nearly
at a right angle with the Eastern Counties, affording com-
munication from the south-west to the north-east portions of
the county, also connecting the Thames, by a direct line, via
Ely, with the principal northern and manufacturing counties.
The arguments adduced in favour of the scheme were ge-
nerally of the same character as those mooted at the meeting
at Chelmsford on the 12th inst. The meetings, after hearing
the several statements of the promoter:, adopted a series of
resolutions approving of the undertaking as being calcu-
lated to improve the trade of the county, and determined
upon consulting the acting provisional committee, with a
view of appointing provisional committees for their respec-
tive districts.

SALE OF RAILWAY SHARES IN COMPANIES NOT

COMPLETELY REGISTERED.

It hai been a question much debated amongst respectable
stockbrokers, and others deeply interested in railway stock,
whether the sale of shares, represented by letters of allot-
ment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, in companies only pro-
visionally registered, is or is not legal, under the new Joint-
stock Companies' Act, which came into operation on the Ist
of November last. It is very much to the credit of the
members of the Manchester Stock Exchange—which, as a
body, we believe, stands high for the careful conduct of its
business—that they should have taken the best possible
course to set this question at rest. Through their solicitors,
Messrs. Sale and Worthington, the Manchester Stock Ex-
change proposed a case for legal opinion, and we have been
favoured by these gentlemen with a copy of the queries, and
of the answers thereto given by the authorities consulted.
When we state that those authorities are amongst the lead-
ing counsel at the English bar, namely, Sir Frederick The-
siger, the Attorney-General ; Mr. Ogle, of the Western ;
and Mr. Cowling, c f the Northern Circuit, we need say no
more to recommend their deliberate opini ns (for we under-
stand that the Attorney-General had the case before him
some time, for the express purpose of giving it his most care-
ful consideration), to the serious attention of all connected
with railways, and especially to the Boards of Provisional
Directors of Companies established since the Ist of November
last. The following is a copy of the case :-
1. Whether as to the Companies established before the Ist
of November last, and therefore not within the provisions
of the new Act (7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 110), the sale of
letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, or any of
them, is legal ?
We are of opinion that sales of letters of allotment,
bankers' receipts, and scrip, issued by companies esta-
blished before, the Ist of November last, are not within the
provisions of the statute 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 110, and
that, consequently, the sales of such documents are legal.
2. Whether railway companies are within the restrictions
as to the sale or transfer of shares, or other restrictive clauses
of the above Act; and if so, whether, after provisional re-
gistration, and before complete registration, the sale of letters
of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, is legal or illegal?
We are of opinion that railway companies established after
the Ist of November last, are within the restrictions con-
tained in the 26th section of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110,
and we think that sales of letters of allotment, bankers' re-
ceipts, and scrip, attempted to be made after the provi-
sional, but before the complete registration of the company,
are illegal.
3. Whether, after complete registration, but before ob-
taining an Act of Parliament, the sale of such scrip (as
scrip will then have been issued, and then of scrip only), is

legal or illegal ?
\Ve are of opinion that sales, after complete registration, of
scrip issued by railway companies established subsequently
to the Ist of November last, are legal. It is evident from the
latter portion of the 25th section, that the Legislature in-
tended that railway companies, on complete registration,
and before the Act of Incorporation, or other Act giving autho-
rity for executing the works, should have all those powers
conferred by the first part of the section, which are most
qualified or retained by the latter part; and we do not find
anything either in that, or in the preceding section, from
which it is to be collected that the Legislature intended to
render illegal sales of scrip by such companies, until their
Acts of incorporation should be obtained.
4. If the sale of scrip, after complete registration, be legal,
whether it is not the duty of the Provisional Directors to
lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu-
ments, at the registry office, so as to obtain a certificate of
complete registration, and thus enable scripholders to sell
scrip ?
\Ve consider it to be the duty of the 'Provisional Directors
to lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu-
ments, at the office, for the purpose of obtaining a certificate
of complete registration.
5. If the restrictive clauses of the Act do not apply to rail-
way companies, whether the sale of letters of allotment,
bankers' receipts, or scrip, be or be not illegal, notwithstand-
ing they are so excluded?
Being of opinion that the restrictive clauses of 7 and 8 Vic.,
c. 110, apply to railway companies formed after the Ist of
November last, it only remains for us to observe, that as to
companies established before the Ist of November, we do not
think, independently of the statute, that the sale of letters of
allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, Would be legal.

THE LATE FIRE at SIR CHARES

PRICE'S.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, AND OFFICIAL REPORT.
From an early hour yesterday morning until late last evening a
large concourse of persons continued to assemble in William-street,
Blackfriars, the scene of the late dreadful fire, many for the purpose
of inquiring as to whether or not any other bodies had been found.
Notwithstanding the strong fears that were apprehended at one time
that several parties had lost their lives by plunging into the water,
it is now generally believed that every man who was immersed was
afterwards rescued. Two hats only remain at the police-station
which have not yet been owned, and the reporter yesterday was In
company with a gentleman who lost his hat whilst jumping from
one of the burning barges into a boat, and returning home he had
neglected to call at the station-house for the same• The only doubt
that now remains is whether the owner of the otherhat had perished;
it is, however, quite probable that he was saved in a similar way
to the other party. Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday a male and
female called at the Bridewell Hospital, and requested permission to see
the remains of the man who had perished, as they had lost
a brother, and knowing that he was assisting in working one of the
engines, they were fearful that he was burnt. Thst request was
immediately complied with, when they identified the remains as
being those of their relative, a young man named George Spencer,
of Black Bear-alley, Farringdon-street. The state of the parties
upon seeing the blackened mass of all that remained of their brother
can be more easily imagined than described. The poor fellow, it
appears, was one of many who occasionally earn a few shillings by
calling the firemen to and working the engines at fires. A man
named Wilford, who was working at the same engine, said that he
was talking to the unfortunate fellow, when all of a sudden the fire
rushed out of the wiado as and through the doorway, completely
enveloping the whole of the men who were then working. Such
was the fury of the blazing turpentine, that before they had let go
their hold of the engine the machine became ignited, and they were
forced to jump into the stream—the only place they could run to
escape being burnt to death. He noticed Spencer running at the
same moment with himself, but the passage not being sufficiently
wide for all to pass at the same time, the deceased must have been
driven by the flames into the corner where the remains were found.
Seine idea of the extent of the fire may be formed when it is stated
that at one time there were between forty and fifty puncheons of
turpentine, from eight to ten tons of cod oil, and a quantity of other
oils in a thorough state of ignition. The former article was kept in
large wooden vessels, lined with lead, and there is no doubt that, as
the lire reached those compartments, they exploded, and to that cause
may be attributed the rapid progress of the flames. Mr. Inspector
Woodruffe, and a gentleman named Richmond, of Broadway, Lud-
gate-hill, had both very narrow escapes, and one of the firemen,
named Hitchin, who was standing on a ladder directing the water
through one of the upper windows, was blown down by the explosion
of one of the cisterns of turpentine.
Although every inquiry has since been instituted as to the origin
of the disaster, nothing that could be depended upon could be learned.
Some parties imagine that the flames arose from a spontaneous igni-
tion, and others that it was caused by a flue in the cooperage—this
department is under that portion of the premises where the fire was
first perceived.
The total damage done it is at present impossible to tell; but it is
believed to be under 10,0001. The following is a copy of Mr. Super-
intendent Braidwood's official report :
" Tuesday, Sept. 16, forty minutes past one r.se.—A fire broke out
on the premises belonging to Sir Chas. Price and Co., William-street,
Blackfriars.—Cause of fire unknown. The turpentine warehouse
and contents destroyed on west side of wharf. The windows burnt
out, and roof considerably damaged, of oil warehouse on the east side
of premises. Most part of cooperage and stock at the water side
severely damaged. Insured in the West of England and Imperial
Fire-offices for stock ; the buildings, which belong to the Bridewell
Hospital, it is unknown at present whether or not they are insured.
" C. Hoppe, Pig Quay Coal Wharf.—Counting-house severely
damaged. Three or four barges extensively scorched, and one sunk.
Insured for stock in trade in the Licensed Victuallers'-office.
"Messrs. Capel, coal-merchants.—Windows burned out of count-
ing-house, and several barges damaged by fire, &c. Insured in the
Phoenix Fire-office."

The fire was extinguished by engines belonging to the parish, the
Bridewell, nine land engines, with a floating one belonging to the
London Establishment, and the West of England and County ones,
with their firemen'and assistants.
