bridegroom went off in a post chaise with all haste to
fetch it, being told that he must be back by twelve, or the
ceremony could not be performed that day. That hour
came, but not the bridegroom, who, however, came soon
after. The delay proved dangerous, as the ceremony was
put off. The effect on the bride was alarming. She was
attacked with a hysterical fit, in which she remained a

PROPOSED ARRANGEMENT 'BETWEEN THE
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND
JUNCTION COMPANIES.

During the past few weeks the holders of stock in these
two great Lines have been acted upon by the circum-
stance o some differences, said to be serious ones, Nav-
in; arisen between the respective Boards of Direction;
and the result has been a considerable reduction in the
market price of their shares. At the meeting of the
Grand Junction Company held on Tuesday last, a Report
of which will be found in our columns, some of the facts
were permitted to transpire, by which an uneasy feeling
was created, it being feared that instead of pursuing their
former harmonious course of action together, the two
Companies were about to commence a course of mutual
injury and opposition. This feeling we are happy to have
an opportunity of allaying by the publication of the fol-
lowing letter, from which it will be perceived that there
is still a prospect of the amicable settlement of the ques-
tions upon which the Companies were at issue :
" Dear Sir,—The unsatisfactory conclusion of our cor-
respondence last week would, in ordinary cases, prevent
any attempt at its renewal ; but the interests at stake
between the Grand Junction and London and Birming-
ham Companies are too important to admit of any weight
being attached to personal considerations, or to mere
matters of form, and I therefore, without hesitation,
revert again to the points at issue between us, with the
desire that they may obtain the early and serious con-
sideration of your board.

" Let me, ihen, in the outset, repeat that our engage-
ment with the Shrewsbury line, which appears to have
excited so much distrust and alarm, was, on our part,
simply a measure of self-defence, and I think it not
difficult to show that it was quite as necessary for the
protection of the Grand Junction as of the London and
Birmingham line, inasmuch as the threatened alternative
tended to an independent line from Worcester by Shrews-
bury direct to Chester. Ido not desire to conceal that an
extension of the Birmingham and Shrewsbury line to
Chester, or its neighbourhood, is probable, nor that it if
capable of being so laid out and worked, as very materially
to interfere with the traffic of the Grand Junction line,
but it will not be our fault if it ever become really detri-
mental to your interests ; since the propositions which I
shall submit to you in this letter are calculated in their
results to meet not only the case of the Birmingham and
Shrewsbury line, but of any other in which the position
assumed by this company may appear to interfere with
Grand Junction interests.

" As respects the Trent-valley Ens, we have very un-
willingly conceded the principle that such a line should
be formed, because we are still of opinion that the public
will, on the whole, derive no real benefit from it, or at all
events none which can be put in competition with the
cost and inconvenience it must necessarily occasion. If,
however, we have yielded thus far in obedience to what
we conceive to be mistake'', public opinion, we have at no
time consented to the conditions proposed to us by the
Manchester Company (although led to believe that you
had given an unconditional assent), deeming those con-
ditions unreasonable and unequitable both as regards the
Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham Com-
panies. In this matter, therefore, we are free to take
any course that we may deem most adiantageous to our-
selves and the public.

Proceeding to the concluding paragraph of your note
on Friday, the 17th instant,—viz., ' that each of us must
henceforth be held at perfect liberty to take our own
course for our own protection ;'—if I am to infer from
this declaration that all consideration of mutual interests
is to be at an end, and that each company is to pursue its
own course, without reference to the injury it may inflict
on the other ;—if this be the principle which is in future
to guide our proceedings, I must be allowed to 'observer
that it is much more easy to see how bothcompanies may
be seriously damaged, than how either can possibly derive
any real benefit from such a course, whilst it is certain
that the public can, ultimately, gain nothing by our
differences. It is not worth while to enquire which may
be the stronger, the wiser, or the more inftbential party,
where the utmost amount of success in a contest wilt
yield no solid advantage.
" I trust, however, that, notwithstanding- the pastr
more peaceful counsels will prevail, and that both com-
panies, whose interests are in reality so nearly-allied, will
adopt the far preferable course of acting in concert for
their mutual benefit, having always reference to the just
and reisonable requirements of the public ;—but I must
confess that, in the present posture of affairs, I have little
hope of any cordial agreement between us, unless-an air
rangement can be effected by which the pecuniary interests'
of the two companies shall be permanently united upon
terms of perfect equality. To this end, therefore, and
with the full approbation of the London and BirmingbaM
Board, I come at once to the following propositions-:.--
" lst.—That the London and Birmingham and Grand'
Junction Companies remain distinct and separate as thej
now are, both in respect to their management and capital,
" 2nd.—That the directors of each board be several!"
and exclusively responsible for their management to their
respective proprietaries.
3rd.—That the existing engagements of each compeer
be carried into effect, but that neither engage in any new'
enterprise without the consent of the other.
" 4th.—That the net profits of the two lines, frOM;
whatever source derived,. go to a common fund, out of,
which equal dividends shall be made on the shares of
both companies.

be received in the friendly spirit in which it is made,
and I shall rejoice if it lead to a termination of those
differences which cannot be otherwise than a source of
annoyance and anxiety to you as well as to myself.
