The New English Movement to Rescue the Evle Railroad from the Hands of Fisk and Gould—Circular of the Shareholders’ Pro- tection Committee, {From the London Times, Dec, 15.) A oirculac just issued by the Erie Protection Com- mittee 1s calculated to add to the satisfaction of the shareholders at the new movement in favor of their interests inaugurated by Mr, McHleury and Messrs, Bischorsheim & Goldschmidt, The committee are prepared to give that movement their support, if they should see fit, So soon as they shall have been made acquainted with everything that 13 to be don e; bat, meanwhile, they complain tiat Mr. bischo ft- shelm has not disclosed to them the plan of opera.

The good mentions of the commiice are uuquesuonable; but the simplicity that ouid lead vhein Lo suppo @€ an exposure of plans and the m- curring of the risk of a possivie wrangle over uiem to be the best way of proceeding in a case like the present tends to establ sp the feeling created by their operations during the past two years, that they are not the men to deal with Messra. Gould aud Fisk. As to the discussions of & committee being Kept secret those who would place any reliance upon such a possioility must Know very, little of pavtic tife, Finaily, the committee appear to furnish a further example of a want of sagacity by wresting irom its true purport a statement re- ecntiy made by Mr. Bischoflsneim to the eifect_ that his position as agent ot tne Avantic and Great West- ern Railroad mignt at any moment become tneom- pable with his remaining a member of the Erie committee. ‘Tne only meaning any persons not de- sirous oO: Impubng dishoaeradle Motives could put upon tits statement would be that Mr. Bischoits- heun’s Connecuon with the measures successtully in progress for the rescue of the Atlantic and Great Western might place bim totally at variance wih the policy which for two years had been fruitiessiy couductead with regard to ine srie, Kul the Committee ciumsny asstine that nis aims may-not be simply those of justice, whicn could not by possioility invorve Wrong tn any quarter, but that he may have interests tn one direction which would lead him to injure those in another, Of course nothing could have been iurther from their tnten- tion than to convey such AL imputation, but it is Impogsiole to read their circular im any other light, and the carelessness thus extubited may be taken as ASaMpte Ol the Loo Irequent results of “commit- tee” work, ‘The case stands thus:—Mr, Mctlenry and Mr. Bischonsheim have jnst snocecided in res- cumg yom the grasp of Messrs. Gould and Fisk a property of almust equal amount to that o; the brie, and have placed it under the controlof a direction secoad Lo none lor i tiuence and respecta- bi'tty m the United States, The interests of this property, and of the rie, irom their relative position, must be identical, and ap offer is consequently made to persorm a similar service for the hatter undertaking. Nob a shilling is asked In the way of concripution, and all the fabor and nece: sary risks Ol the struggle are und convicuon of the generat benefit to resuit, and from the natural desire to save the reputat York and twelve or fiiteen miilivns property from the hands of rogues, The Protectioa Commitee, on the other hand, after taking a con- Inbution Of About £25,000 for necessary expenses, have fated aurtag two years in arresting for a single mstant the plunder of the coucern, and are now only able to Quld out the ronune hope that somecning may be done “during the spring.” And nou only have they faved to arrest the process of plunder, but they have turnished Messrs, Gowda and Fisk, by whom and thelr con- federates the proceedings Insucnted have through- out been treated with utter ridicule, with the plea that the alair was simply one which was taking the resulitr course of law. Can tne share- holders velleve that, if the struggle in the case of the Aulantic and Great Western Company had been under similar Management, it would by this mo- ment nave been in the position now attained, and is it the wish of the Protecuon Committee to inwart toe consummation they have themselves been unable toachieve? No thought has been expressed ol ucting antagonisticady to chem, or of interfering with anytiing they may hope for “in the spring,” and by attempting to stand ta the way of other enorts Luey can bat gure as new and involuntary alhes of Messra.

The sword long since drawn from the scabbard has never been roturned, and the two politic bodies stand face to face, yielding no ground only as the hand of law directs, The Philadelphia and Erie have @ branch in this elty connecting the lumber yards with their main line of road, ‘The Catawissa extension will also afford, lumber transportation direct from these same yards of te great mill owners.
