LONDONDERRY and ENNISKILLEN

RAILWAY COMPANY.
The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this
Company was held on Tuesday, at the Guildhall Coffee
House.
The chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by Mr.
Ferrers, chairman or the Company.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Hemmings) read the report,
which was to the effect that the Act of Incorporation had
been obtained with comparatively little expense, the only
difficulty having been to satisfy the Marquis of Aber-
corn that his property would not be damaged by the
line. Sir John M'Neil had resigned the office of en-
gineer, and JAI.. Robert Stephenson had been appointed in
his stead. Of the new lines proposed in Ireland the only
one which would affect the interests of this Company was
the Dublin and Enniskillen, which there was reason to
hope would be sanctioned by Parliament next session.
The works to Strabane and Newtown-Stewart would be
shortly finished. A call of 21. would be made in Octo-
ber next, and three more calls next year. The general
account of receipts and disbursements showed a charge
of 25,0001., in deposits of 21.105. per share on 10,000 shares.
The Disbursements were—
Parliamentary Expenses
Engineering Expenses 1,500
1 ,11

Salaries

Total
Leaving a balance of 20,050/.—(liear, hear.)
The SECRETARY then read also the rt port of the en

- gineers appointed to survey the line after the retirement
- of Sir John M‘lsTeil. These gentlemen suggested se-
veral departures from that engineer's plan, which could
_ not be accomplished without application to Parliament.
- The report strongly urged the necessity of going on with
- the works with as little delay as possible, on the ground
that there will, at no distant period, be a great rise in
- wages on account of the number of railways about to be
- undertaken in Ireland.
The surveyors expressed their confidence that the line
would be completed at a cost within the capital of the
- Company.
The report was then unanimously adopted.
A PROPRIETOR then moved a resolution, to the effect
- " That the thanks of the shareholders be given to
- the Directors for their attention and exertions in pro-
curing the Act of Parliament at so comparatively,
- small an expense, and for the satisfactory report and
-2% statements which th:y had laid before this meeting of
the proprietors."
The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously,
- and with applause.
The common seal of the Company was then put to the
- Register of Shareholders.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was carried in the
same manner, and the meeting separated.

514 LYNN AND DEREFIAM RAILWAY
The first half-yearly meeting of this Company was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street.
Henry Charles Lacy, Esq., in the chair.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement con-
_
vening the meeting, proceeded to lay before the Pro-
- prietors the report, which was merely a recapitulation of
the progress of their Bill through Parliament, and men-
- tioning the necessity of electing auditors and directors.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that the report be re-
- ceived, entered on the minutes, and a copy seat to each
shareholder.
Mr. W. EVERARD seconded the resolution, which was
eat ried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN moved that the seal of the Company
be affixed to the register of Shareholders.
Mr. H. C. PARTRIDGE seconded the resolution, which
was carried without dissent.
_ The CHAIRMAN said that the next form to be dis-
- charged was the election of two auditors, an appointment
3% which, under the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act,
2 was rendered imperative.
A SHAREHOLDER suggested that, as the Proprietors
were comparatively ignorant of each other, it would be
better that the Directors should name the gentlemen
they considered most suitable for the office.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Board could not nominate,
but only suggest, gentlemen to discharge the duties of
auditors. However, anticipating some difficulty might
arise in the selection, he had drawn up a list of those
who held the largest amount of shares in the Company.
Mr. Tinker was, next to himself (the Chairman), the
_ largest holder, having 525 shares ; but as he was the
auditor of the Ely and Huntingdon Company, his elec-
tion would scarcely be advisable. Mr. Lloyd held 400
shares, but he was abroad. Mr. Dawson held 350, but
being a sharebroker at Liverpool, it was possible that at
27'3 any period his interest in the Company might cease ;
his election, therefore, would be inexpedient. Mr.
Bruce, who held 310, was in the same category as Mr.
Tinker, being connected with the Lynn and Ely Company.
Mr. R. C. Dawson held 230 shares, but being Secretary
of the Milbank Penitentiary, his time would be too
2% much occupied to give his undivided attention to their
- - interests. Mr. Lechmere, a solicitor, was the next
largest holder, having 225 shares, to whom no objection
existed. He therefore suggested that either that gen-
- tleman and Mr. Teether or Mr. G. Whitley, each holders
of 200 shares, should be elected.
Mr. BUNTING then moved, and Mr. SMITH seconded,
the nomination of Mes-rs. Lechmere and Whitley, who
were unanimously elected auditors.
Mr. LECHMERE returned thanks, and assured the
meeting he would do his duty conscientiously by the
Company, which he considered would, when in con-
_
nexiou with the two collateral lines near them (the Lynn
and Ely and the Nottingham and Grantham) become
the best among the railway projects of the country.
Mr. TABERNER moved that their late Board of Direc-
.
tors, consisting of Henry Charles Lacy (Chairman), Sir
Henry R. Calder, Thomas Neville Abdy, William Eve-
• rard, Henry C. Partridge, and J. B. Whiting, should be
re-elected.
. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was car-
- ried unanimously.
Thanks were then passed to the Chairman and Direc-
- tors, and the meeting separated.

MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE MAN
CHESTER ♦ND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY.— A
numerous and highly-respectable meeting, called by circular, of
the shareholders in the Manchester and Birmingham Railway
Company, was held at the Clarence Hotel, on Tuesday after-
noon, 19th inst. Nathan Lees, Esq., was called to the chair ;
and we noticed many of the largest and oldest shareholders in
the line present. A strong resolution was passed by the meet-
ing against the amalgamation with the London and Birming-
ham Company, on the terms proposed ; and from the deter-
mined and unanimous feeling manifested, it is quite evident
other and more equitable terms must be proposed or admitted
by the London and Birmingham Company, or the amalgamation
will be broken off altogether. A committee was appointed to
correspond with the shareholders resident in other towns, and
- to act as may be considered advisable.
COUNT KONIGSMARK, AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE,
BY CArr. FREDERICK CHAMIER, R.N.—They who delight
in supernatural agency and the wildest romance, may absot
lately. luxuriate in these volumes. In his preface, Capt.
- Chamier tells us that Count Rosen suggested the story of
- Konigsmark to him as one of
.great interest. He could no-
- easily have recommended a more singularly romantic one.
- The strange s'ory of the ring (Capt. Chamier adds) does not
belong to the Konigsmark family, but the Barnekows. The
- ring was acquired in the manner described in the work, and
- when in the riots occasioned by Ankerstrom's murder of his
sovereign, the owner of this ring was killed by the populace-
- the ring which he had never been able to take from his hand,
2% could not be found after his death. With much of the history
tip of the time, in which the Countess of Northumberland, Mr.
- Montagu, her husband, the Lady Elizabeth Percy, her daugh-
ter, the Dowager Countess of Algernon, the notorious Duchess
of Cleveland, the Countess of Sussex, her daughter, and
various others are made to play conspicuous parts, we have
an abundance of wild and stirring adventures in both love and
war, Konigsmark being a devil for fighting, and a perfect
Don Giovanni in his amours."—Naval and Military Ga-
zette.
DARING ROBBERY.—Last evening, two men en-
tered the parlour of the George beer-shop, Burdett-street,
Westminster-road, and, having consumed a pint of porter
they had called for, went off carrying with them the clock,
valued at 41. 10s. They must have been expert thieves, as they
had to pass the landlord and his two sons on their exit, they
being in the bar at the time.
A MAN STRUCK DUMB.—On Tuesday morning,
between seven and eight o'clock, as a man named Benjamin
Reynolds, residing in St. Andrew-street, Seven-dials, was
conversing with some of his companions, he suddenly ex-
claimed, " I am losing my speech." and the next moment was
unable to utter a word, though in full possession of all his other
faculties.
