LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER
It WAY.—IMPORTANT MEETING.
On Wednesday last a special general meeting of the P1,,70
prietors and Directors of this Company was held in the Co" Sales-room, Liverpool, to consider the propriety of adopting a
Report of the Directors, recommending and empowering tn
to adopt the plan proposed for carrying on the line to Hullt ,is
a„o
bank, in Manchester and thus forming a junction with
Manchester and Leeds, and the Manchester and Birminghll33.
and also with the Manchester and Sheffield lines.
Mr. C. LAWRENCE was in the Chair ; and, after the not°,
calling the meeting Lad been read, the Treasurer of the Cum',
mittee read the Report of the Directors, which recomment;
the adoption of the following resolution, after stating na
the cost of the proposed line will not exceed 225,000 h, sr
alluding to the difficulties they had had to encounter in It,
endeavour to carry into effect a line to extend to Store-sr:4
in Manchester :—" That the Directors he hereby empoe'"of
to proceed with the negotiations and arrangements
,i/j
pending with other Companies and parties interested, en"tbe
take the necessary steps, by application to Parliament, in
present session for an extension of time for the purchesn4
land, should such a course be deemed expedient; and to n
into such contracts, and do all such other matters and tblZ.
as may be necessary or expedient for carrying into fullere.
and operation the formation and completion of the procor
Hunt's-bank junction line, in conformity with the Report
received and approved by the meeting."
~.e
The CHAIRMAN then said, the Directors were fully o'ol
the great importance of the question before the meeting'ore
it was, therefore, with regret that they did not on the,*
sent occasion appear before the Proprietors as a united " fee The Report which had been read, although nominally t
ile
port of the whole Board, was only that of a major/01 p
0y
that not a large one ; and it was due to those
necessary
,
ntlemen ing the minority to state that fact. He felt it necessary '.400.
form the meeting, as the Board were now of a different ortbas
to what they were at the last meeting, that the reason n,
change was expediency. They had no chance of succeetlintes obtaining an Act for carrying out the most desirable plan stia
such influential and powerful interests as the Manebestelsole
Leeds Company against them, and it was therefore &Owed
to carryout that now proposed, for if they did not he felt cony y
iy
that it would place the Manchester and Liverpool C 0134100 a position of great danger, and jeopardize the propertY
concern altogether.
Mr. Moss, one of the Directors of the Company, r-nr°P°4
the resolution quoted above.
Mr. R. BENSON moved an amendment' to the effec
a junction of the railways on the south side of the Mane' blit,
via Store-street, would be more advantageous to the 5,„.
and would conduce snore to the interests of the
...so. pcol and Manchester Company. After giving several `7;-oor
for this proposition, it went on to state that this
sios
palsy have, consistently with their own intereshot,., saf
been anxious to consult the convenience of the Pun"-eies"'
therefore, if the Leeds Company should, after having the proposion to leave the whole question at issue attic
unexceptionable reference, and in consequence of the.t.roc
mination of the Company not to make the junction:a tbt:
Salford, conclude themselves to execute that line, "'-odaticr Company will engage to afford them every acceseintil their
and facility in their power for effecting a junction 01
railway."
Mr. D. HooosoN spoke against the original reselntinn"
great length.
rtes
sul e
Mr. H. EARLE seconded the original motion, and at
it at considerable length. The adoption of the line
pe°`
once effect a communication between the seaport a Lwive
.)
and the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire.—(Clle.rhieoritir Mr. SAUNDERS and Mr. CROPPER also support
nal motion.
On
Mr. ALSTON moved, that the question be deferred .v. ltair
month, and this amendment was seconded by the I.e
b it
FORMBY.
A long discussion ensued on this in the course waleof2edf was stated, that out of five lines to in
it wa'd thus :
determined to carry four of them to Hunt's-bank, :zoo as'
complete communication would be formed betwee. n.joittys•
and west coasts, the formation of such a union of trade"
being considered most important for the interest "
t
generally.
to
The CHAIRMAN at length put Mr. Alston's ernendEnen
amendment Pr
the meeting, which was lost, after which the arae
posed by Air. Benton was withdrawn.
The original resolution was then carried by a °l:4l'l3°llble
majority, and the meeting separated.

I THE INCOME PLUNDER.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
Sia,—As the people are generally ignorant of the machineri
by which Pitt worked his Income-tax, perhaps the following
may show them a little how they may expected to be Peel'
by the present Income-tax, and to gnaw their chains with re-
morse for their own apathy in not opposing its enactment.
I was (when Pitt's Income-tax was inflicted) a partner
small manufacturing concern, and during the three previa"
years, from which our average income was to be reckoned, Re
had incurred upwards of 8001. losses, in bad debts, and go'
ships reeked.
I laid before the Commissioners (some of them violent plotni
hatching Tories of the Castlereagh school) a clear stateme
.of our losses, giving names and dates of every item, sh°l44,
that our income was nothing, and that we had been sebsigt
on our capital. The Chairman settled the business at once,
saying, "You cannot. maintain your family for less than 30°•
year, and therefore you shall be assessed at 3001." We had °-
appeal—nothing but pay, and work or starve.—l am,
ONE OF THE PLUNDEREv•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE S UN.
SIR,—As the NoMe Lord, the Member for South Lao*
shire, has thought proper to boast of the petition which 14
presented from Manchester in favour of Sir Robert Pis
Income-tax and tariff, I beg to inform you, for the benefit and
satisfaction of those staunch Reformers which Manchester CO
boast of, that the majority of the manufacturers, `merchants'
shopkeepers, and others, are opposed to the obnoxious, iiiqual
rial, and shameful Income-tax ; and therefore I declare that!
those 24,000 signatures, which the Noble Lord said his peace
tion contained, were scrutinised, there would not be found ow'
than one-fifth in favour of the beautiful and well-liked
and that one- fifth is composed of the Church clergy and tbeir
friends and partisans, who, when they were asked to 5110 s
it ,
petition for repealing the obnoxious Corn-laws, declared 7,-
a public question, end they would have nothing at all to 0"
with it. Now these are the men who cry aloud for the bogie"
tax, and any measure which their old friend, Sir Robert, 035/
think proper to propose. If the Noble Lord, or any one of tbe
Members for Lancashire, will take the trouble to go round
every elector, or even non-electors, they will find how tials?
hare been deluded by their friends, and in such a manner
think they will not easily forget.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Manchester, April2l, 1842., LIBERATO REFoRMO.
