LLANELLY RAILWAY AND DOCK

COMPANY.

A general meeting of the Directors and Shareholders in this
Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, pur-
suant to advertisement, for the purpose of submitting to the
Shareholders a Bill to be introduced into Parliament during
the present Session to enable the Directors to extend their
op:rations upon the line of railway, and also to enable them to
raise more funds.

Mr. BIDDULNI was called to the Chair, and read a clays*
in the Bill incorporating the Company, which provided that
when any new 13111 was about to be introdu:ed to Parliament
it should be submitted to the Proprietors, and which further
provided that three-fifths of the said Proprietors should agree
to its introduction. It was for this purpose that that meeting
was called.
After some discussion as to the mode of taking the votes.
Mr. Bnou NT rose to explain the objects of the Bill. Their
present Bill would expire in August next, and it was therefore
necessary that the Act should be extended. Upon the railway
were to be used locomotive engines, and when their original
Bill was framed, steam had not come into use. That Bill was
obtained in the year 182 S, and of course steam power was not
mentioned in it. That Bill merely empowered the Company
to raise 14,0001., and yet it was under that Bill that they were
obliged now to act. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to
state the advantages that would accrue to the Company if the
railway was extended.
Several Shareholders manifested their decided opposition to
the Bill, and after a great deal of desultory conversation a show
of hands was taken, and the Bill abandoned.
The meeting then separated.

NORTHERN AND EASTERN
RAILWAY.
The lialf-vearly General Meeting of the Proprietors of Ibis
Railway was held yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, at the
Lon.lon Tavern, Ilishopsgate-street. Wm. Crawshay, Esq.,
in the Chair.
W. Boults:E, the Secretary, read the Report of the Direc-
tors, from which it appeared that the opening of the line as far s.s
Hockerill, might be looked for by April next, that the traffic on the
line during the six months ending the 31st of December, 1841,,
amounted to 23,944/. 6s. 7d. on an average of 9201. 18s. &I,
being an increase on the traffic receipts of the preceding
six months, of 3911. Is. Bd. per week. The expenses charged
against the traffic account of the last six months were
18,0081. 18s. ed., leaving a halance in favour of the Com-
pany, for that half-year of 5,935/. is. I Id.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that he was open to answer
any questions which any of the Proprietary might think St to
put relative to the affairs of the Company; or if no one had any
observations to make, he should move the adoption of thee
Report.
Mr. HAtivay seconded this motion, which was then carried

In answer to a question from Mr. Reese, the CHAIRMAN
stated that there was some difference between the Northern
and Eastern and the Eastern Counties Railway in consequence.,
of the latter Company demanding that they should pa)", in ?II:
