AFFAIRS,

A notice has been given for a bill to enable the Liver-
pool, Crosby, and Southport directors to sell their line to
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, who are under
engagement to complete the link between Waterloo and
Sandhill-bridge, a distance of three miles and a quarter.
On Tuesday, Mr. Donald M'Arthur, aged about forty-
five, a baker at Wimbledon, died at that place from the
effect of injuries received from being run over by a train
at the Wandsworth-common station of the South-
Western Railway, on the day of the Thanksgiving.
At a meeting of the Great North of England Company
held at Dariington Thursday last, a committee of directors
and shareholders was appointed, to effect, if possible, an
arrangement with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Com-
pany, relative to the Great North of England purchase on
amicable terms.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.—The Herald
states that the directors have given the London and
North-western Railway notice that they' intend to take
legal proceeding,: relative to the agreements of 1849, for
carrying the Manchester trafic of the old London and
Birmingham over the North Staffordshire.
DISPUTE AT THE CHESTER RAILWAY STATION.-With
much regret we find that the dissensions amongst the
directors of the Chester General Railway Station have
not terminated. During the week barricades have been
erected and forcibly removed, but we give no opinion on
the points in dispute, as these, we understand, are about
to be discussed in the Court of Chancery.
