RAILWAY.

A meeting of the Provisional Committee of this Com-
pany was held yesterday, at the London Coffee-house, at
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, which was very nume-
rously attended by gentlemen from several and different
parts of England, all of whom seemed to vie with each
other in their zeal in the project, and the proceedings
throughout were of a most animated character.

Wm. Melville Lomas, Esq, of Liverpool, was unani-
mously called to the chair; after which Wm. Burdett,
Esq., one of the solicitors of the Company, opened the
ousiness by detailing the proceedings which had taken
place up to the present moment, in pursuance of the
:arrying out of the undertaking from its first introduc-
tion to the public.
The usual routine resolutions, all of which were una-
aimously agreed to, were moved and seconded by R. A.
Riddell, Esq., John Holmes, Esq., William Yeily, Esq.,
New ton Crouch, Esq., J. Mannering, Esq., Capt. Twisie-
ton Graves, James Tracey, Esq., William Garrow,
S. R. Riddell, Esq , and Robert Causton, Esq.
William Burdett, Esq., Messrs. Elmalie and Preston,
and J. E. Bales, Esq., are appointed solicitors to this
Company • J. U. Rastrick, Esq., consulting engi-
leer ; and Oliver Byrne and A. B. Clayton, Esqs.,
acting engineers. On the motion of W. Garrow, Esq.,
icconded by Newton Crouch, Esq., N. J. Kempe, Esq.,
was proposed as secretary, on which the Chairman and
several other members of the Committee bore very fiat-
',ering testimony to the abilities and general eligibility of
Mr. Kempe. He was unanimously elected to the office,
Ind on the Chairman announcing his appointment, he
very appropriately expressed his acknowledgment.
For the information of the Company, the engineers
presented the following report :
" To the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Midland
Grand Junction Railway.
_ _ . .

''Gentlemen,—As a preliminary observation, we may state
that the progress of the surveys are such as to ensure beyond
all doubt, in ample time, a compliance with the requirements
of Parliament.
" The terminus of the railway will be on the west of the
Great Western station at Reading, and will cross the Thames
on the bridge by the Henley-road, passing along a perfectly
dat country, to within one mile and a half from Henley,
whence it will proceed between the hills at Druids' Temple,
(the Thames at these points being about 150 feet bread).
The line will then go near or through Great Marlow, and
between High and West Wycombe, describing a segment of
a circle with a radius of four miles.
" From West,Wycombe to Aylesbury the line is direct,
and the country flat. To the distance of about five miles
beyond Aylesbury, the course is through a valley in a direct
line, or nearly a dead level.
"An opening then presents itself between the Quainton
and Pitchcot-hills, where a slight cutting will be found
necessary to enter into a level and continuous valley, through
which it is proposed to lay the rail, cutting the base of Zion-
house-hill and Claydon-hills to the east of Padbury, from
thence passing the Rivet Ouse to a proposed station within a
quarter of a mile of Buckingham. From Buckingham it is
proposed to pass through Whittlewood Forest in a straight
line, the country here being highly favourable. After
passing the forest, the country through which the line is pro.-
posed to be carried is in some degree interspersed with hills,
the valleys of which, however, with the assistance of slight
cuttings, may be made to connect so as to form a continuous
and easy line, until it connects itself with the London and
Birmingham Railway at the station at Blisworth, where
there is at present a branch line, about four miles long, into
Northampton, which continues on to Peterborough. Here
will be the terminus of the projected line of the Midland
Grand Junction, and we cannot conclude our report without
observing that we have seldom witnessed a railway present-
ing, from one end to the other, fewer difficulties in the con-
struction of it.
" We are, Gentlemen, your very obedient servants,
" OLIVER BYRNE,I E •
Acting Engineers."

A long and animated discussion ensued respecting the
constitution of the Committee of Management, when the
following gentlemen were unanimously chosen, viz.:—
William Bradley, Esq. John Holmes, Esq.
C. Byrom, Esq. W. Kempe, Esq.
IVni. Byrom, Esq. J. C. li'.ngston, Esq.
%V. Caldwell, Esq. W. M. Lomas, Esq.
3. S. Fowler, Esq. R. A. Riddell, Esq.
Thos. Wynne_, Esq. H. Taylor, Esq.
W. Garrow, Esq. Richard Deily, Esq.
Captain Twisleton Graves A. M. M•Muran, Esq.
JOHN HOLMES, Esq., suggested that, in order to faci-
litate the business of the Company, two Vice-Chairmen
should be appointed to assist the Chairman, which was
agreed to.
After some conversation, the Committee resolved to
defer the appointment of the Chairman and the Vice-
Chairman for the south.
W. Melville Lomas, Esq., was unanimously elected
Vice-Chairman of the Company, for the purpose of pre-
siding over the business of the northern districts.
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the proceed-
ings, which were characterised throughout by great
irit and unanimity, then terminated.

'THE EXETER, DORC HESTER, AND
WEYMOUTH JUNCTION COAST RAILWAY,
AND THE BRIDPORT AND EXETER RAIL.
WAY.
TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE DORSET COUNTY CIIRONICLE, AND
SOMERSETSIIIRE GAZETTE.
Sir,—ln troubling you with a few remarks on these two
projected lines of railway, I think I ought to state that lam
a large shareholder in the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey-
mouth, and that I am a considerable landowner in Dor-
setshire.
In Treictnan's Exeter Flying Post, of Thursday last, is
contained a statement that the Bridport and Exeter line " is
intended to complete the only link required in the great line
of railway on the southern coast." If such is the intention
of the promoters of that scheme, it is quite clear that it can
never be realised, because the present termini of the Brid-
port and Exeter line is at those two places only, leaving a
country of twenty-two miles on the coast between Bridport
and Weymouth, and sixteen between Bridport and Dorches-
ter (the terminus of the Southampton coast line), and surely
this is a link which will require to be filled up, and a most
important one.
That the public may not be misled, I think it my duty,
Sir, through the columns of your widely-circulated paper, to
state that the termini of the Exeter, Dorchester, and Wey-
mouth Railway will be at Exeter, Dorcheister, and Wey.
mouth ; and at the two latter very importtint towns, it will
join the coast line from Southampton, and therefore this line
will, in fact, " complete the only link required on the
southern coast."
It is not reasonable to expect that the promoters of any scheme
( whether a complete or a very incomplete one) will misrepre-
sent it, but to call a line of railway commencing at Bridport,
and terminating at Exeter, a coast line, or to say it is
tended to complete the line on the southern coast, whilst
leaving a distance of twenty miles and more between Brid-
port and Weymouth and Dorchester, is advancing what
very few persons will believe, although repeated In the
Exeter Flying Post, or any other flying post, every day in
the year. Facts are stubborn things, Sir, especially when
connected with projected railways.
I became a shareholder, Sir, in the Exeter, Dorchester, and
Weymouth Railway for several reasons :—First, because that
line will, in fact, complete the line of railways on the southern
coast by k junction with the Southampton line at Dorchester
and Weymouth ; secondly, because in its route it will in-
clude the two impoitant towns of Dorchester and Weymouth,
as well as Bridport, Charmouth, Lyme Colyton, Axmouth,
Sidmouth, Exmouth, and all other places on the coast to
Exeter; and thirdly, because I am strongly of opinion that
neither Government nor any Parliamentary Committee will be
induced to adopt or countenance a line springing up about
midway, and traversing part Only of an integral line, to ratify
the inhabitants of a particular locality with whom it may
have originated, and whether I am nght in this belief re-
mains to be seen as to the towns of Iloniton and Axminster,
where the Bridport and Exeter proposes to run by two branch
lines. These places are far away from the coast, and will
shortly be reached by a direct line through those parts of
Dorset and Devon.
If you will find a corner for these remarks in your valuable'
columns, your will greatly oblige, Sir
A DORSETSHIRE LANDOWNER.
London, October 20, 1845.
P.S. I am just informed that the promoters of the Bridport
and Exeter contemplate a landslip at Bridport, whereby that
:own may some morning be discovered very near Weymouth.

At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
22d day of October, 1815,
It was unanimously resolved,
liirst —That the East India Railway Company was formed in the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
always into India. •
Second—Thai the promoters of the undertaking 7abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway,
which shonll be selected by Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developments consequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
at this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Govemmont, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations. _

Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforseen circnmstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first communication with the Government, the selection being left to
the Government.

Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public for constructing railroads
in Western India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Government.
Sixth—What under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be theirimperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its full Integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares.
Eighth—That 121,000 shares of 501. each be created, en Which a
deposit of ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scrip already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as maybe
found advantageous for the interests of the undertaking.
Ninth—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Pr3prietors and the public.
GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman.

In conformity with the above arrangement it is requested that al]
holders of scrip desirous of availing themselves of the above Novi.
Mons, do send in their scrip on or before the 20th November next,
accompanied by an application addressed to the Secretary in the fol•
lowing form:—

LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND LONDON AND CROY-
DON COMPANIES.—The negotiations which have been pending
for some days past between the Brighton and Croydon Com-
panies have at length been brought to a satisfactory con-
clusion. The directors of the two lines, after long and
anxietia deliberation, have finally agreed on an amalgama-
tion, the shares to te consolidated into stock, and to rank
therein, Brighton zt 501., and Croydon at 181. 10s. This
arrangement is of course subject to the approval of the re•.
spective proprietaries, but there can be no doubt that the
ratification will be cheerfully awarded, as the prosperity of
both lines must be materially enhanced in consequence.
EXPERIMENTS IN WOOLWICH MARSHES, OCT. 24.
Colonel Lacy, Director of the carriage department in the
Royal Arsenal, Lieutenant-Colonel Dansey, C. 8., Lieut.-
Colonel Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Assis-
tant Director-General of Artillery, Lieutenant-Colonel liar
R. 11., Lieutenant-Colonel Colqulictin and Captain
l'alliser, of the Royal Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Barney,
Commandant of the Royal Engineers ; Brigade-Major Sena-
' ham and Captain 'Wynne, Royal Engineers, assembled in
. the Marshes at two o'clock, tem., to witness experiments with
a newly erected one-gun battery, constrncted, under the
superintendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Barney, on a principle
suggested by Colonel Abbot. The battery was made 10
feet in thickness, by about 21 feet in front, and 8 feet high,
with the embrasure faced with stone inside, into which was
fixed an iron bolt attaching a traversing platform 16 feet
long, on which an 8-inch gun on a ship or garrison carriage
was mounted. The base of the embrasure is very high, on
Colonel Abbott's principle, being within half an inch of
under part of the gun when run out for firing, and directed
against an object about six feet high at 250 yards' range. The
tiring took place with hollow 8 inch shells,weighing4Blb. and
561 b., and the charges of powder were in the first instances
81b., and afterwards 101 b. to each round, and the last shell
fired burst ftom the effect of the large charge, although it did
not contain any explosive materials inside the metal of which
it was formed. 17 rounds were fired into the mound, and
the shortest recoil of the gun and carriage on the platform
was 6 feet 1 inch, the whole giving an average recoil of 7 feet
6i inches. The masonry of the embrasure appeared to
answer very well and proved very secure. The wheels
of the traversing platform are supported on circular pieces of
iron screwed down upon wood imbedded in the earth, similar
to railway sleepers and about the same dimensions. The
other parts of the ground are left in the usual state, with a
small quantity of sand and gravel packed upon it to render
it dry. The experiments were concluded for the day at four
o'clock,
