LYNN AND ELY RAILWAY.

The first General Meeting of the Shareholders in the Lynn
and Ely Railway Company was held yesterday at the London
Tavern, Sir W. J. H. B. Folkes, Bart., Chairman of the Board
of Directors, in the chair. The Secretary having read the ad-
vertisement convening the meeting, read a report which stated
that the meeting had been called in accordance with the provi-
sions of the Act of Parliament, authorising the construction of
the line, which only received the Royal assent on the 30th of
the last month, and consequently the Directors had not, for the
want of time,been able to prepare a lengthy and detailed account
of the position and prospects of the Company. There could, how-
ever, be no doubt that it would prove amply remunerative, and the
Directors looked forward to the time when it would be united
to the Lynn and Dereham arid Lynn and Huntingdon lines—
in fact, they might state, that an arrangement had been made
for uniting the three lines when completed. The Provisional
Committee, which consisted of the chairman, Francis Cress-
well, Esq., William Everard, Esq., Henry Charles Lacy,
Esq., Foster Reynolds, Esq., and William Seppings, Esq., had
been confirmed as Directors to manage the affairs of the Com •
pang under the Act of Parliament.
The report was unanimously adopted nn the motion of the
Chairman ; and Mr. Rance, of Mincing-lane, and Mr. Self, of
Lynn, having been appointed auditors of the Company for the
ensuing half-year, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Chair-
man and Directors, and the meeting terminated.
