[No. 12.; Delivered to Prince Manna at 7.30 pm. King Sluts. Dombocorro. Nov. 10, 1840.—Captain Droman claims from King Simko, that he will prove to him that the white drive dealer. have acted without hie knowledge in their infamous conduct atettittAt the Queen of England's subjects, by acting m follows, or. That he will honeeltrieitroy their factories and their contents, or consent to Captain Deaman'irdoing el, That he will deliver up the slaves who have been carnet into the bust from tic factories. 'riot he will for ever abolish the .lave tr ade in his dominions ; and that he will promise, In writing, never to allow such conduct In future, and express his sorrow for what bra happened with regard to the woman Fry Newman nod ber child.—(Migned)—Jusorn Masao, Commander and Senior Officer. Be read this letter, not as a matter of evidence on either side, but as showing that the account Captain Dennsaa had himself given of his operations in the Gallinas had reached the eats of the governor before the ratification had taken place. Therefore, whatever the opinion of the jury might be as to the seizure, if they were of opinion that there had not been any military occupation of the Gellinas by Captain Denman, then all these considerations would fall to the ground. So much for the question of ratification. He (Mr. Baron Parke) now proposed to address himself to the only remaining matter for consideration—namely,whether or not the defendant had been justified in acting upon the treaty and under the authority of King Siacha and the chiefs. The Attorney-General interpossd, and reminded the court that at the end of the plaintiff's declaration Caere was an al legation that the plaintif f had been possessed of deeds, parch ments, bills, and securities. In support of :this averment no evidence had been given. lir. Baron Parke concurred, and said that on this the ver dict must be for the defendant. The pleas setting forth that the defendant had acted on the authority of the treaty bad been amended; but in his judgment they bad not in point of form been proved as amended. The defendant asserted that a law had been mede by persons having authority at the Galling to do so with the consent and authority o certain chiefu,wboee names were unknown. To this amended plea Mr. Hill bad objected, because the names of some of them—the three Rogers's, for instance--were known. This, how. ever, was a purely technical mistake, from which the defendant ought sot to lose that which might be an answer to the action. Therefore, if the jury were of opinion that the persons who negotiated the treaty had • authority to do so, and had communicated that autho rity to Captain Denman, to do what he had done, then they would find the facts specially, and then the court would de termine whether there was any variance between the plea, as amended. and the facts found in the special verdict — whether the variance was merely technical or one of sub stance. With respect to the facts the defendant must have,estahlished to the satisfaction of the jury that the four persons who bad concurred in the treaty had the authority of King Nubs to make that which had the effect of law in that country, and whether Captain Denman had acted in obedi ence to the command of King &ache. Now the evidence as to the law at the Galling came from the cross-examination of the plaintiff's witnesses as well as from some of those called on the part of the defendant/. The point of inquiry would bo whether these persons had authority to make this particular law, whether they did make it, and whether, if so made, it was binding, net merely on the negro, but the Spanish population of the place. There was no evidence in ~ he cause to show in what way the Spaniards had become Nettled at the Galling. If mere pettiers they were bound to obey the law of the country, and their factories would not be protected if employed in any traffic which infringed these laws. If they came as conquerors the case would be differ ent, but on this there was no evidence before the court and jury ; on the contrary, it would rather appear that there was nothing to exempt the Spaniards from the operation of the negro lows. It so, under what authority were those laws made ? The evidence of the witness Diaz proved that the people of the Galling bad laws of their own, and that a law of property existed there ; the King and the head men of the country met together to make the laws at Cihindamar, the capital of the country. The evidence of the woman Fry Norman, went to the same effect, and that of Capt. Hill chewed, that on the 21st November, 1840, a letter was sent In King Siacha to meet Captain Denman to settle the dispute pending ; that the following day Prince Manna and the Rogers family attended, and ex ercised all the power and authority of the government of the country in the absence from illness of the King. The whole of their conduct went to show that they had autho rity to act on behalf of the King, and to make the treaty which had been ezetuted in the terms read already to the jury. If the jury, therefore, thought these persons had the authority so to act, and that the defendant had acted on that authority, without sham or subterfuge upon it, then the defendant was entitled to their verdict on that plea—in sub stance, though the wording of the plea was not supported by evidence. After some further general observations the learned baron said he did not know whether it would be necessary for him togs through the evidence, though, lithe jury desired it, be would do so with the greatest pleasure. The jury intimated that they had themselves taken so copious a note of the evidence, that they could relieve the court of that task. Mr. Robinson, on the part of the plaintiff, said, before the jury returned a verdict he wished to tender a bill of exeep lions to the summing up, on the ground that no legal or sufficient evidence had been adduced to support the isms' joined on the replications to the 7th, 12th, 19th, and 22nd pleas which bad relation to the authority of King Siacha and his chiefs to make laws, on the ground that it ought to be left to the jury to find specially upon these issues. He aho whited to tender exceptions to the direction of the court, in reaped to the 4th, 9th, and 16th pleas, alleging the ratification by the crown of the acts done by the defendant. A long discusalon of a purely technical nature ensued, as to the form in which the bill of exceptions should be ten dered. At length Mr. Boron Parke, addressing the jury, said they would lest dispose of the question, whether or not the crown had ratified the acts done at the Gilliam by Capt . Denman, and whether he had acted in all he did on be half of the crown. The jury, attar consulting in their boo for a few minutes, 'spewed • wish to retire. They did so in charge of a sworn officer, and after an absence of about twenty minutes returned, when The Foreman stated that the jury were of opinion that (government bad ratified the acts of Capt. Denman. Mr. Baron Alderson : And with the full kaowledge of all that Capt. Denman had done ? The Foreman : Tee, my lord. The Attorney-General observed that this was a verdict for the defendant on the 4th, 9th, and 18th plea. Mr. Baron Park*: Just so. The next question for the J ury was, as to the authority of .log Slabs and the chiefs to make law. 11b6, THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1848. employment. On the 20th August the defendant discharged the plaintiff on the groused that he we., a thief, and had stolen a cask of mustard from him. Oa that day the defend ant stated before several of the persons in his employ that he charged the plaintiff with stealing, that he was • thief, and that if any of his servants spoke to him again he should consider them as bad as he was, and that he would discharge them." On let October a clerk of Messrs. Oaby and Wills, to whom the plaintiff applied for employ ment, tailed on the defendant to inquire about the plaintiff's character, when he said, I wonder you can have anything to de with him, he is • thief ; I caught him in the act of amain a euk of mustard." These were the libels com plained of. The defendant pleaded a justification, alleging that the plaintiff did steal a cask of mustard from him.—At the elate of the plaintiff's case it wu submitted that what bad been said by the attendant were privileged oommunica tioos.—His lotdship agreed in this view of the case and directed a nonsait.

The worthy maois• meeting has been one of unprecedented difficulty, arid adverse to . the development of railway traffic, but the directors trust that the tote having addressed some further advice to the lad for his extremity of the pressure lam DOW subsided. While that pressure future guidance, the latter expressed his thanks for the continued, and mills and manufacturing establiehments were out of change brought about la his circumstances, and withdrew. work, sod all clams (but particularly the operative) suffered priva tions, one natural consequence was, a diminution in some branches of the company's traffic-third-class passengers and general mer chandise decreased, but the aggregate traffic still present,' as increase. The shareholders also will bear in mind that the portion of their line et present yielding revenue is its most expensive link, both in coo. struction and working, and sa yet isoompratieely isolated, registering in its returns chiefly its own local traffic, and =eluting those advan tages of through traffic which it must acquire when its connexions weetward through Manchester, and entwerd Rom Sheffield, shall have been completed. The can als have not been uniform in their re sults. On month of them there appears a tom, from the interruption chiefly in the mineral traffic daring the suupenoion of the mills, while the rest present a nearlycounterbalancing gain. The Grimsby Dock, purchased by the oompany, continues to progreas steadily, It now yields a return exceeding 5 per cent. on the total cost, and fully 8 per cent. on that portion ot the cost as yet entitled to receive interest, and this apart from the large W,PPIOOII of valuably land which it brings the compeny. This fact, and the additional one that the custom dues of the port hare gradually increased, in four yearn, from 3,9291. to 70,0751. per year, natisfectortly indicate the future prosperity of the port, and of this part of the undertaking. These results and indica tions, during a mason of unexampled depremion are viewed by the director. with satinfection. A dividend is propo sed to be paid for the half-year at the rate of 3 per cent per annum on the 1001. shires, and at the usual guaranteed rate of 71 per cent. on the No.l Quarters. While the monetary crisis was impending, the directors, from pru dence, as well as nem/why, curtailed the expenditure upon new , works. They suspended many of the works of easy ferma ta" and concentrated their means upon those which were more urgently needed, or required a longer time to finish, les as to postpone as little ea possible the entire opening. As regards the required finances, the directors hero felt very con vincingly the wisdom of the vote by which the shareholders, at their last meeting, created the preferential sleek of 072,00 tit, bearing 6 per Mt. interest. Its marketable character has enabled them to refrain frammaking calls during the late preeure, and yet to meet with gretetaffilty every engagement of the company. A very small portico at this Muck still remains on band, which, judging from the dolly spplications for it, will be speedily allocated. Hut the remaining ODOM to accrue from this source is limited, and active operation. Would soon exhaust it. Loans an the company's debentures form another financial ramose, and; no far as they can be obtained on rea sonable terms, they will be received in relief of tells ; but loans on any other terms the directors would reject. Should these resources prove inadequate, and payments from the ahareholden become requi site, the directors trust that the 'Withholders will corthalle respond to seek calls re may he made to complete the line, and render the dead outlay productive. With funds adequately supplied, the entire line illabliew Holland and Grimsby to Gaineborough may be opened by Iles Ist of July next; and to Lincoln by the ovule= autumn; ani from , Claineboyough to the Midland R a ilway by the following spring; while ' the line tram Sheffield to the Slidlande Railway, together with the Man , chaster South Junction, may mom at completion in the present year. The Eye bills which, in the last session of parliament, were postpoeed to the present semion, under legislative regulation. for their re-intro deletion, have been accordingy re-introduced, together with two ad ! direr bills, involving small outlay, which the director. deem men lel& station accommodation. The postponed bills are, for the 5111Miley Branch, the Extension of the Sheffield Station, the Amens to ell N.Moberear Goods Station, and the Purchases of the Minton I awl Om IlheffieM Canals.

All these bibs have pond the standing orders of the ileum of Commune ; and the sir prove! by the present meeting in essential to their safe presage through the House of Lords. tinder a general met lately passed, the directors ' are applying for an extension of time to complete some of their branches, which admit of postponement without compromising the I company's interests. The advantages expected from this extension • are, that the shareholders will thus be enabled to direct their undi vided resources, in the first instance, to the works of their main line, and to secure to themselves a looser period for payment of the re maining capital. At the present meeting nix directors retire from etre, but are eligible for re-election. The retiring directors are, liroars.Giaborn4ltatodall,Canteiclienesge,Tborolci, and Gouldithrougb.

The accounts from Parts were read to be rather more satisfactory by the speculators this morning, although it would be difficult to say in what path cular, the more probable interpretation being that the livelier first impressions having worn off the situa tion of affairs in that capital came to be more soberly appreciated after a day's reflection. However that may be, a decided improvement in the funds was the first event of the morning on the Stock Exchange. Console, so depressed yesterday at 89 to k, rose to 891 to „I for account, but remained so for a short time only, the more settled quota tier's being 89?, to 1 for account, and 1 less for money. A certain distrust of the permanency of the higher prices attained to-day still hung after all about the market, and parties in favour of the rise evinced a reluctance to embark in more extended operations in that direction, so that as the regular hour of closing business approached Consols showed symptons of decline, but eventually left off at 89?, to 1 both for money and time, with • weak market. Shortly afterwards it was stated that a considerable sale was effected, as much, according to report, as 50,0001., which reduced the quotations to 891 to Three per Cents. closed 891 to 1.

Private letters from a respectable quarter in Berlin state that General Radowitz, the Prussian envoy on the late special mission to Paris, with Count Collared°, from Austria, had expressed, according to his manner of judging, very desponding views of the present po sition and future prospects of France, which he con sidered to be on the verge of revolution. Some of his letters, it is mentioned, had been read by the Prince of Prussia in private and confidential circles. The general is reputed at home to be a person of great political sagacity, and is a personal favourite with his sovereign. The suspension of payments erroneously announced some two days since as that of Mr. Dutrois of Havre is a more important one, that of the Com , mercial Bank of Havre, directed by Mr. Dubois, who lhas found it necessary temporarily to suspend pay ment. It is positively stated that the assets are more than sufficient to cover the liabilities, and that payment will be resumed shortly. From Manchester it is stated that the banking house of Scholes and Co., which suspended last year, had given notice of a further and third payment of Ui . n the pound. The third and concluding pay ment of 55. more is expected to be certainly realised and paid within a moderate period. Private advice° from that town do not represent business in so de pressed a position es the published accounts would appear to imply. The demand for yarn for the Indian markets was still considerable, and cases are named in which the orders could not be executed within the time desired, and for which a further delay had there fore to be accorded. The German houses also were in the market as buyers. The rise in cotton operated certainly to a disadvantage upon the spinners to some extent, but this would be remedied by the increased demand for yarns and fabrics, which might be ex and was apparently growing, and by the q . :1 1 supplies of cotton from the United States, which, with a full crop reported to be in favourable conclitio*, cannot fail to be shortly sent forward in onuses. 414.146 $ 4 The Foreman, on behalf of his badger jurors, rigatoni' that this questioe, to be submitted to them, should be put into writing. This was done by ?dr. Baron Rolfe, who read it as follows : Whether King &ache by Prince Manua his son, in concurrence with the Rogers family, and oth er chiefs, whose names were un known, had by the laws of the Oellinae power and authority to make, and did make, laws authorising Capt. Denman to take and destroy such slaves and goods, if any, es he did afterwards take and destroy, and whether Capt. Denman bad acted in pursuance of such law in taking such slaves and goods, if any, as he did afterwards take and destroy." The jury after a desultory conversation again withdrew. The Attorney-General obeerved, that while the jury ware oat it might be well to settle the verdict as to the other pleas On the plea of not guilty the verdict would be for the de. (evident, so ter as they related to the bills of exchange, deeds, and securities for money—the residue of those pleas would be found for the plaintiff. The 24 and 14th pleas, se to the posseadon of such securities by the plaintiff, would also en title the defendant to a verdict—the residue of that class of pleas would be for the plaintiff. The ph as which might bad be called the *Mach' pleas, were those on which the jury jag mired. Dozing • further conversation between the court and cease, the jury returned. The Attorney-General said he had been very anxious, in order to show the grounds on which Capt. Denman had pro ceeded, and that he had not been aggressive i the first instance, to have the whale matter as regarded King Bischa and the chiefs prominently brought before the court and the public. This had been done, and now by the mutual eon ' sent and concurrence of his learned friends on the other tide, he would withdraw these plead trent the consideration of then Mr. Parke said that the jury were discharged from giving a verdict on the &ache pleas, end the matter would stand thus:—Verdict for the defendant on the ratification pleas, and for the plaintiff as to the residue, in the manner already stated. Mr. Baron Alderson.—That reduces the bill of exceptions to the simple question, whether the subsequent ratification by the government of Capt. Denman 's acts, was equivalent to a prior command to do those acts. The Attorney-Oeneral.—That will be the only question to be decided elsewhere. The verdict as arranged in the manner described, subject to the bill of exceptions on the point stated, was then recorded, and the jury were discharged. Nisi Pares.—Before Sir F.

Lag. —RIGHT TO RIVER TOLL ON THE kliznway.—This case, which was operic don Friday, and continued on Saturday (when it occupied the entire day), was resumed yesterday morning in the Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster, the Court of Exchequer having been pre-engaged by the judges presiding at the trial at bar. The question was whether the plaintiffs are entitled to claim 3d. and half a farthing toll for evoke ton of seals imported into Rochester by the river Medway. They elaimed this privilege to the extent of 30 imam between Sheerness and hawk wood. It was a prescriptive corporation. and it appeared that from time immemorial they had been paid toll in respect of all coals imported within those limits. Origi sally the tax wan 4d. a too, but within comparatively a recent period it was reduced to the amount now claimed. In 1841, after the election that then took plzee, come political diffe rences arose between the inhabitants of Rochester. They resulted in a refusal by some persons who dealt there in coals to pay the toll. An action was brought against them in 1844, and tried at the Maidstone Assizes before Lord Chief Justice Denman. A verdict passed for the plaiatiffs, and so far their right was upheld. The defendants moved for a new trial, but the application was refused. That action was, however, brought against persona who trafficked in coals, and the distinction relied upon by the present defendant was, that although the corporation might have been authorised to impose the tax upon regular dealers in that attie:e, as he had imported it fur his own private consumption, and nut for sale (he being an extensive lime burner in the neighbourhood of Rochester), he should be exempted. The principal question raised now was, whether, if the corporation had the right at all to toll, their right was not limited to such coals as were imported for sale. On behalf of the defendant, it was further contended that whatever right the corporation had hitherto asserted, was upon the ground that they had given an equivalent for the toll in the shape of meteege. The defendant required his coals to be measured, and he therefore urged upon that ground also that he wee not liable.—Sir F. Thesiger, QC. (with whom were Mr. Setjeant Shee, Mr. Deedes, and Mr. 14ovill), addressed the jury at great length for the defendant. —ln the absence of the Attorney-Oenerel (with whom were Mr. Martin, QC., Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. Lewis, for the Plaintiffs), Mr. Martin replied also at considerable lecgth.— 'fhe Lord Chief Baron, summing up, adverted to the impor. tance of the case, and to the feet that the plaintiffs had no ' personal interest whatever in the matter in issue, but were influenced solely by public considerations. lie said he should submit two questions to the jury, and also leave it open to them to find a general verdict one way or the other. i The first question was, whether the plaintiffs, as a corpora tion, were the owners of the port of Rochester. The se cond was, whether, as such owners, they were entitled to the disputed toll upon coals, whether imported for sale or L not, or whether their right was confided altogether to such coals as were imported for the purpose of sale, and to none COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Before the Lord Chief Justice and • Special Jury. RICHARD V. THII BRIGHTON RAILWAY CoMPANY.- LIABILITY OF A. RAILWAY COMPANY AS COMMON CAR KIRKS; _Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Phipson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Talfourd and Mr. Swann for the defendanta.—This was an action to recover damages for the loss of • dressing cue belonging to the wife of the plaintiff, a passenger to the company's carriages, by the negligence of the company. The defendants pleaded, among other matters, that they were not the owners of the railway carriage ; that they di d not receive Mrs. Richards as a pu senger ; that they were not liable under the Carriers' Act; that the dressing-cue in question was above the value of 101., and therefore, by a rale of the company, its value should have been notified to the company, in order that they might make • proportionably higher charge for its carriage ; and that this rule was duly posted up at the station where the plaintiff's wife entered the railway. The plaintiff is a major in the army, residing at Cambridge-terrace, Hyde park ; and his wife, • great invalid, and afficted with a spinal complaint, returned from Bognor to London by the Brighton Railway, on the 10th of November, 1846. She went to the Woodgate station to meet the train at ten minutes to two, accompanied by a maid servant and among her luggage was the dressing ease in question, containing jewellery and trinkets, not only of intrinsic value but of interest personally to the plain tiff—enoh as • gold cockle-shell watch given to him by Queen Caroline, and an amethyst necklace presented to him by a person high in office in the Portuguese government. At the station the luggage was weighed, and a charge made for it. The maid was occupied with her mistress, and the luggage was arranged by the company's servants; but she saw the dressing-cue placed in the same carriage with Mrs. Rich ards, and under the seat on which her feet rested, she being in a recumbent posture. The train arrived at the London station at half-put five. A coach (one attached to the eta ' Lion) was called, and Mrs. Richards was placed in it by two of the company's servants, assisted by her man servant, who met her there. The maid looked into the railway carriage for the articles deposited there, and saw one of the company's porters inside and another at the door, who told her they would attend to them. Several articles were put into the coach, which proceeded to Cambridge-terrace. On its arrival there the dreuisg-case could not be found. It was asserted that whatever was put into the coach at the station was conveyed to Cambridge-hamce. Application was made to the railway authorities for compensation, but they de clined to be responsible for the lo s, and tbis action was brough t. It was urged for the plaintiff; that although the Carriers' Act exempted common carriers from liability for the safety of articles of extraordinary value committed to their charge, unless their nature is stated, so that • higher eherge may be made for them, yet they mut publicly notify this rale, and there was no such notice at the Woodgate station, and the act therefore did not apply. In order to meet any difficulty which might arise on • question of the loss occurring be tween the railway carriages and the hackney coaches, far which purpose they might not be common carriers, there was • count in the declaration alleging the company to be bailees carrying from the railway to the coaches. The value of the property was fixed by consent of the defendants at 1501. It was also admitted that the defendants were pro prietors of the railway. The plaintiff's case as above stated was proved by the lady's maid, the person who drove Mrs. Richards from Bognor to the station, the footman who met his mistress at the London terminus, and the housemaid at Cambridge-terrace. A clerk to the plaintiff's solicitor proved that he had been to the Woodgate station on the 28th Dec, 1846, and that there was no notice there re lating to the charges on articles of value —lt was submitted for the defence that there was no case against the defend ants. The declaration contained three counts. The first charged the defendants, as common earring, with having re eeived Mrs. Richards into their carriages and contracted to carry her and her luggage safely to the terminus at South wark. The package did arrive safely there, and the com pany had no duty beyond that. The second count charged the company with an obligation, as common carriers, to con vey, not merely to the terminus, but to the hackney car riage ; but there was no evidence of any such obligation. The third count charged the company, not as common car riers, but as " bailees," with an obligation to convey from the railway to the hackney coach with due care ; but it was known that this duty was undertaken by the servants of the company, and it was a question whether the defendants were responsible for this undertaking of the servants, unless it was really a part of the duty of their employers.— His lordship declined to stop the case, giving leave to the defendants to move—Mr. Serjeant Talfourd then addressed the jury, contending that notice of the value of the dressieg case should have been given to the company, and that the question was whether the box was lost while under the care of the company.—Witnesses were then called for the defence, to show that nothing was left in the railway carriage, and that no one was left with the hackney coach at the door in Cambridge-terrace.—The jury stopped the case at the close of the defence by finding a verdict for the plaintiff. SOMERVILLE V. BAWII/41L—LIBRL.—Mr.Seejeant Wilkins and Mr.E. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Serjeant Dyke for:the defendant.—The plaintiff is a journeyman in tbe oil and colour business, and the defendant is an exten sive dealer in throe unties in Bishopegate-street. The action was brought for certain defamatory words spoken by the de fendant against the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff had been employed by the defendant for eight years as a packer in his establishment, except during an interval of seven weeks, when be left on some dispute about wages; but returned at the request of the defendant. In that interval the defendant had given the plaintiff a strong letter of re commendation to Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the London Fire EsSablishmeat, in whose force he had sought RAILWAY NEWS.

Ile was quite convinced that the mon the shareholder' Mew of the whole working of the line the more soured they would feel of its ultimate rooms- Ile would jut natation one subject. This morning the director were waited upon by a deputation from the shareholders, requesting that the directors world omen to reduce the number of director. from the preeent number to twelve, if possible, or at all events to fifteen. (Hear hoar, and ap plause.) Thu was a question Mich he thought the directors would entirely leave to the shareholders. (Hear, bear.) It was • share holders' question, and rine which they ought to be the best jodges about; but it certaisly wee very strange that it was only twelve months ago since the thareholders themselves were the MOM of calling a r pedal meeting for the very purpose of increasing the num ber of direetors, and now, without having seen whether the Increase was 40 advantage or not, the shareholders themselves wish for a re duction to about the fame number as there was before the ha rem. There was another foliation which the deputation also wished the directory to Odleider, that the remuneration to the directors should be reload to 1,200/. This was aim • question toe the shareholders, and not for the directors. As far as he the Chairman) was manned. ho would much ratter bare no remuneration at all. (Applause.) That had been big feeling throughout from the very commenoetrient of the railway. But he did not call it a remuneration ; It was nothing more than a matter ol compliment from the nharebolders to the directors for the services which they are supposed to reader to the company. He again stated that the directors were most anxious to answer any minnow, that might be put to them, because the shareholder were entitled to know precisely what they were worth. He was an advo cate for each shareholder being put into poomion of all the nets, he mline if he should wish to diaper of his property he knew what to do, and if a man wasted to buy he did not boy in the dark. (Applause.) As to the number of directors there should be to future, he would say they could trot tale day deride whether they should be re duced or not. There would have to be a special meeting called for the purpose of deciding whether tie number should be reduced. Perhaps the proper plan would be to postpone this meeting from to day to WON future day, of which notice would be given, and a spinal meolisgealled, became if the shareholder. rivet° part without electing dinsgMes to fill the vomit seats, it would be the duty of the remaining dangler to ti.l up the TALCAlltied. If the shareholders thought proper he should move a resolution adjourning the meeting to some future day. He concluded by moving that the report if the diretore and anglairere now read, and tae statement of accounts now produced, be tusked and adopted. Mr. Leiser raid th at tie re son why a board of eighteen did not glee satidaction to the shareholders war, because they believed that aMa number would give greater satisfaltion, and make the line pay belt, r. He intended to here lined a few questions with reference to the beianeedtheete, but be felt It only doe to the directors to say, that on Iraniry at the office he was informed that the acretary would willingly give every information to the shareholders. (Hear, bear.) He complained at the form in which the balance-sheet was pea seated to the directors, and raid it looked very suspicious. It woe ltd the form they had teen accustomed to have premed to them. la Mellott place, the debit and credit sides bad be a reversed during the last six months, and the low introit ma coupled with the profit.

Ile had no doubt the directors withed to give satisfaction, but the shareholders ought to know why this aim mull not be worked 4 cheaply as 4therA, and whether or nut it arose from the inability of the director'.

As to profits, he could rawer, that if Mr. Livingston would say why business was so bed, be COLA answer him.
