TATTERSALL'S.—TutriesDAy-

The attractions at Newmarket were not sufficient to in-
duce a large proportion of the usual frequenters of the
room to stay away ; and many wbo had gone there hastened
back. in the forlorn hope of meeting those whose absence
on Monday had excited so much regret. Nothing oc-
curred, however, to lessen the feeling of dissatisfaction
the winding-up of the Running Rein affair had produced-
In fact, " the absentees" were as numerous as
ever, and
the complaints were " loud and deep" at the want of
principle displayed by persons in whom the fullest cone
dence had been placed. A sort of vague impression still
remains that some of the lost sheep may be found at Li-
verpool, and a tacit understanding existed against a public
announcement of defaulters till after that opportunity. of
" coming to the post" had gone by. All delicacy will
then cease, and the names of the unprincipled will be
made public without scruple. The dissatisfaction which
prevailed had an obvious influence on the betting, and the
business done was not only limited, but confined to a very
narrow circle. The following were the closing prices

THE "LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM" AND
THE " GRAND JUNCTION" RAILAN AY COM-
PANIES.

On Tuesday, at one o'clock, a special general meeting of
the Directors and Shareholders of the " Grand Junction
Railway" was held in the Cotton Sales Room, for the pur-
pose of obtaining concurrence in the formation of
new shares towards the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway,
lind also of furnishing those present with an official state-
ment of the favourable ariangement recently made for a
Mutually beneficial alliance bet wee.' that company and the
London and lirmingharn."
JOHN Moss. Eaq. took the chair, and, after the notice
Calling the meeting had been read, said—
The Lancaster and Carlisle act having been passed on
the 6th ult., we have lost no time in calling you together
for the creation of the £l2 10s. shares, so as to raise the
Capital agreed to he raised by the Grand Junction Com-
pany towards that undertaking. The needful formal re-
solutions for this purpose will be submitted for your ap-
proval, and with the adoption of these resolutions the re-
gular business of the day will be concluded. Although it
thdoes
sent strictly speaking, form a subject of discussion at
ioenporfsteatiningeeting, we cannot deny ourselves the satisfac-
what, we are assured , you will be equally gra-
tified to learn, viz, that that the points of dispute between the
Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham beards
bare b- en set led to mutual satisfaction; that the general
reersoesslu,twioirirl be
resolutions of the two boards, by the arrangements in pro-
placed permanently o an improved footing,
Whilst the result, so far as the public is concerned, is,
that the two companies will, by winking together, be ena-
bled to give increased accommodationaand on reduced
terms, such as it will be out of the power of any other
tarty to offer. The proprietors were informed at
last general meeting, and I have great plea-
lite in
now repeating it, that the Grand Junction
ard hare been always impressed with a deep
sense of the impor'ance of keeping on the best possible
terms with the London and Birmingham Company. We
concurred with you that the Grand Junction Company
o°lll'l never be fairly expected to consent to the London
ln
nd Birmingham either making, guaranteeing, or support-
g a Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway—or any other
north of Bit miaglim, in opposition to the Grand June-

auZious and mature consideration ; and that the result
was an unanimous decision against the amalgamation as
proposed, mid a communication of the decision to the
London and Birmingham hoard, with the reasons for it.
and with such a recapitulation of past transactions and
communications between the two boards as we trust has
satisfied the Londou and Birmingham board that nothing
had ever been further from cur wish or design then to
prejudice the London and Birmingham Company, or to
sot otherwise than in harmony and in the most friendly
concert with them. We also offered a meeting for
discussion on a to-is not inconsistent with your reso-
lutions when you last as,emided ; and th's meeting
took place accordingly on Wecine-day last, the 3d instant.
Not only was the subject of a Shrewsbury railway
then satisfactorily disposed of. but the general arrange-
ment which was made includes the prosecution of the
Trent Valley Line on fair terms to all parties. In the
present state of matters, some minor points of detail
(though fully setled as between the two companies) being
still under the consideration of ot her parties whose interests
are involved in them, we must ask for a continuance of
your confidence without more full explanation, at all
events until our general meeting next month. lam
sure this meeting will agree with me, that, having
happily terminated our differences. it would he unwise to
recur further to the past, or to publish any letters bearing
oil questions now I trust for ever set at rest. I cannot
close these observations without expressing my belief that
of the unfortunate feeling which has lately existed
