CYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWAY.--An extraordinary meet-
ing of the shareholders of this company was held at the
Black Bull, Hotel, Glasgow, on Tuesday evening ; James
Dunlop, Esq., of Glyde Ironworks, and chairman of the corm.
pany, in the chair..
The following report by the directors was then read by

the secretary :
" The directors have called this general meeting of the
shareholders fort he purpose of submitting to their approval
an arrangement which has been entered into with the di•
rectors of the Cal edonian Railway.
" That arrang, anent is embodied in the minutes of this
hoard of the 24th and 25th ult., which arc now laid before
the meeting ; and the following is an abstract of the terms :
"1. That the stock of the Clydesdale Junctign Railway
Company (includisig the 120,0001. of stock agreed to be given
for the Poiloc atirl Govan Railway) shall be immediately
amalgamated wit h the stock of the Caledonian Railway Com-
pany at par.
"2. That the holders of the" Clydesdale Junction stock
shall be guaranttted a minimum dividend of 6 per cent. p
annum thereon, payable half-yearly, from the date of th
opening of their line.
"3. That they: shall likewise participate share for share
with the holders. of the Caledonian stock in the profits of the
united company, so far as these may exceed the above per
centage on united' stock.
" The directors; feel no doubt that the above arrangement
will meet with the cordial approbation of the shareholders.
They are satisfied. that it is greatly for the advantage of both
companies. To the Caledonian Company it secures con-
nexions with the various Renfrewshire and Ayrshire rail-
ways and the hrtrbour. or Glasgow, and also the means of
obtaining a pass( anger station in the centre of that city worthy
of so important a line; and to the Clydesdale Company
it ensures a large fixed return upon their capital, commencing
from the moment their line is completed, with a participation
in all the additional profits and other advantages which may
be expected from such an alliance ; among these the directors
may refer to the new stock about to be issued by the Cale-
donian company for carrying out the various extensions,
branches, and st ations, acquired and projected by them.
" The sharehotders in the Clydesdale Company will be en-
titled to an equal allotment of that new stock, which it is
understood will be issued in the proportion of one share of
25/. to each origin al share of 50/.
" The directors have taken the opportunity of the present
meeting to request the shareholders to fix their remuneration,
and that of the auditors, and secretary, and treasurer of the
company, until the act of amalgamation be obtained."
R. JAMIESON, Esq., of Newferry, Cheshire, asked if there
was any fixed time hen the railway was to be completed?
The CHAIRMAN said it was proposed to open it in two years
from the time they took possession of the ground, and he
was not aware of anything to prevent this being accomplished.
DAVID SANDEMAN, Esq., of Kirkwood, then moved that
the meeting approve of the report, confirm the arrangement
therein referred to, and authorise the directors to concur with
the Caledonian Railway Company in applying to Parliament
for an Act to carry it into effect.
G. KIDSTON, Esq., merchant, Glasgow, having seconded
the resolution, it was carried by acclamation.
ROBERT JAMIESON, Esq., then moved that the following
sums be placed at the disposal of the directors :—viz., 500/.
for the remuneration of the provisional committee, 750/. for
the remuneration of the directors for the current year, 50/
