RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

FRESTON AND WYRE. RAILWAY MEETING.—The general'
meeting of this company was held on Monday, Sir Hesketh
Fleetwood, Bart., in the chair. The chairman stated that
there would be a steamer put on to run between Fleetwood
town and Ulverstone, and another between Fleetwood and
Belfast. The secretary mentioned that the former would
run twice, or at least, once a day. lie said that Captain
Denham's report of the harbour works would be sent to the
shareholders with the director's report, and adverted to the
Patent Screw Light House, erected by Messrs. Mitchell and
Son, of which a diagram and specification were given by us
in our number for April 25th, and said that it had answered
its expectations most admirably. Others, he said, were
erecting on the same principle. He observed that there
could be no doubt but that the railway would be opened the
first week in July. To a question by Mr. Philpots, he re-
plied that of the £5O shares the issues had been to the amount
of £130,000, and of the new, or £25, to the amount of
£90,000. On the motion of :Mr. Philpots, the six retiring
directors were re-elected. Thanks were voted to the direc-
tors, secretary, and engineer, and a very handsome testimony
to the zeal and ability of the secretary was given by Mr.
Elwin.—Railway Magazine.
