proverty erected and set for RATHER LESS THAN
THEIR FlRsr COST, and at almost NOMINAL
RENTS, allowing a certain portion of the fine to remain
at interest until diwharged, by which means the owners
will possess MOST BENEFICIAL INTERESTS in

no money required till theconcern beconvey ed permanently
and substantially completed. The Proprietor emphatically
pledgeshi mself that thispropositionshallbefully and fairly
carried into effect with any party entering into the ararnee-
ment, thevaluederivable from the setting of the Land being
so sufficiently remunerative as to enable him to give the
advantage of his professional skill and knowledge to the
benefit of his tenant. Specimen Dwellings are now in
rapid progress of erection, two of which—viz., TAM-
WORTH and DEVONSHIRE HOUSES—have their
Drawing-room joists Ibid ; and, as they are temporarily
floored and rendered easy of access, parties have an op—
portunity of judging of the varied views from this com-
manding situation. These Concerns will possess most
extensive accommodation, with all modern improvements,
the nature and extent of which can be accurately judged
of, as they will be copies of Houses (which are open to
inspection) recently erected, and forming the centre com-
partment on another property of the Proprietor's, at Sea
View-terrace, Donnybrook.
The Houses are to be built in pairs, or detached if de-
sirable, each party having his own separate entrance to
the Garden and Offices, by which arrangement great
breadth of front and rear is obtained, and all stable-lanes
on the property avoided.
The attention of those possessing large and unemployed
capital is called to the unquestionable opportunity here
afforded for its permanent and advantageous investment,
it being immaterial to the Proprietor whether he applies
his time and the means at his command to realise a yearly
income by the Fl RST COST and LOW RENT SYS-

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; hav-
ing 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 tail
former harmonious course of action together, the tote
Companies were about to commence a course of mutt's+
injury and opposition. This feeling we are happy to have
an opportunity of allaying by the publication of the fa-
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 OW
sideration of your board.

" Let me, then, in the outset, repeat that our engage"
ment with the Shrewsbury line, which appears to have
excited so much dtbtrust and alarm, was. on our pant
simply a measure of self-defence, and I think it no
difficult to show that it was quite as necessary for tin
protection of the Grand Junction as of the London' an
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 material',
to interfere with the traffic of the Grand Junction line,
but it will not be our fault if it ever become really &hi°
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 Birminghaniand
Shrewsbury line, but of any other in which t..e posititpa
assumed by this company may appear to interfere with
Grand Junction interests.

" As resuects the Trent-valley lin?, 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 811
events none which can be put in competition with the
cost and inconvenience it must necessarily occasion. li,
however, we have yielded thus far in obedience to whet'
we conceive to be mistaken public opinion, we have at p 0
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 cat'
ditions unreasonable and unequitable both as regards the
Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham Corn'
panies. In this matter, therefore, we are free to take
any course that we may deem most advantageous to our'
selves and the public.

" Proceeding to the concluding paragraph of your note
on Friday, the 17th instant,—viz., ' that each of us mkt
henceforth be held at perfect liberty to take our owa
course for oar 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 intliet
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 both companies roof
be seriously damaged, than how either can posibly dacha
any real benefit from such a course, whilst it is certaia
that the public can, ultimately, gain nothing by
differences. It is not worth while to enquire which maf
be the stronger, the wiser, or the more influential partff
where the utmost amount of success in a contest Will
yield nn solid advantage.
" I trust, however, that, notwithstanding the past'
more peaceful counsels will prevail, and that both coal'
panics, 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 iiist;
and reasonable requirements of the public ;—but I most
confess that, in the present posture of affairs, I have little
hope of any cordial agreement between us, unless an ar"
rangement can be effected by which the pecuniary interests
of the two companies shall be permanently united aeon
terms of perfect equality. To this end, therefore, and
with the full approbation of the London and Birmingham
Board, I come at once to the following propositions :
lst.—That the London and Birmingham
and Grand.
Junction Companies remain distinct and, separate as they
now are, both in respect to their management and capital,
"'2nd.—That the directors of each board be severally
and exclusively responsible for their management to their
respective proprietaries.
" 3rd.—That the existing engagements of each compall
be carried into effect, but that neither engage in any uaw
enterprise without the consent of the other.
"4.th.—That the net profits of the two lines, froth
whatever source derived, go to a common fund,' out of
both companies:
which equal dividends shall be made on the shares of

" 1 consider it premature to enter at present into point;
of detail, and I am quite aware that numerous objectionS
and difficulties may be started to this or any other ar-
rangement, but I am unable to disccver any which ought
to stand in the way of the great advantage which would
be thus attained of increasing the stability of these two
great undertakings, and of restoring to the numerous
body of our respective shareholders that confidence which
must necessarily be shaken so long as we remain at
variance. I have only to hope that this communication
will be received in the friendly spirit in which it is made,
and I shall rejoice if it lead to a termination of eon
differences which cannot be otherwise than a source of
annoyance and anxiety to you as well as to myself.
" I am, dear sir,
" Yours faithfully,
