" RAILWAY LITIGATION.
" At a preliminary meeting of persons interested, held the 2d day
Of becember, 1845,
" It was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened
!.1.1 various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to'
the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of
claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of
ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the
legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for
shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various
railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi-
dual responsibility), a contdential meeting be speedily convened of
Parties who are interested in these objects."

And then, what joy flumes the face ?

The promised Suit from HYAM 1

To be so grand—so richly dress'd ?
And what delights them all the best,
They must be bought of HYAM 1

His Tunics, and Hussar Suits smart,
Are such as must please every heart,
Because they come from HYAM !
The juveniles, with ruddy face,
You here can dress with neatness—grace ;
Some thousand sizes here you trace,
Produced with care by HYAM !
