IA; baby-farina" A SHARZHOLDER having p im a ttir , ed whether the Yore solicitor acted for both men Sir C. LAMP/1011 called upon Mr. Hirt, solledtor, by name, to answer the question. Mr. Burr protested what be considered en offensive call upon him, B a rr Lampoon knowing, as he perfr a t2 . 7ll, th at he had hem the first acted for both com panies. The CHAIRMAN deprecated the use of such language ss uncalled for. Sir C. Lampoon having been questioned on the subject, The BIZRRTAIII (Mr. Seward) then read the correspon dence between the two boards in reference to the repairs made last year, and the charges made in respect of them byitbe Anglo-American Company. Mr. Bier wished to my that he had not been consulted in regard to the negotiations between the two companies. Sir C. LAMPSON—Then you ought to have been con sulted. (Hear, hear.) Dr. BISHOP, in remarking on the want of unanimity between the two boards, said it bad prevented him from applying, as he bad intended to do, for several thoueand pounds of the proposed new preference stock. (Hear, bear.) The interest of the original stockholders, such men as the late William bfakepesoe Thackeray, who went into the concern to encourage • great enterprise ' ought to be consulted. He entreated the two be to sink their differences and see if they could not arrive at an amalgamation or amic able settlement, without which no one could tell how low the shares would go. Sir C. LAMPSON expressed • hope that, even if the two companies could not agree, some portion of the traffic of the New York and Newfoundland Company would be re tained. As regarded the question of amalgamation, he ob served that the board could not wait until the time for it had expired, adding that be believed the amount now asked for would be subscribed, and that be would like to see the property again in the bands of the old shareholders. In reply to • question from Dr. BISHOP as to whether an arbitration was not practicable The CHAIRMAN deprecated the raisingi of such • question then, though the board were, he said, ready to entertain any proposition fora settlement with perfect candour. Sir C. LAMPSON intimated that the board, wishing to benefit the old shareholders, were prepared to reminder their position and even to IMO a new prospectus. Major Bearironn observed that but for the course . = sued by the Anglo-American Company the req capital would certainly have been raised. He hoped the directors would pledge themselves to have done with the other company, and not to hear of arbitration. (Cheers.) Lot them now goon, and buy up the Anglo- American Company, which had got • great haul at the pronto', and did cot want to give it up. (Hear, hear.) [The meeting waspromeding when our report left.) ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.--(THIS DAY.) _... An extraordinary meeting of shareholders was ' held at noon at the London Tavern ; the Right Hon. J. Weimar in the chair, for the purpose of exercising the ' powers conferred on the Atlantic Telegmph Company by the Atlantic Telegraph Amendment Act, 1866, eon far as relates to the Increase of the capital of the company by • I sum of 1,300,0001.; such new capital to be applied in mak ing the payments prescribed by the agreement between the Atlantic Telegraph Company and the Anglo-American Telegraph Company on the determination thereof, and at tach to such new capital a preferential dividend of 10 per I cent. per annum, with participation in the surplus profits. : The report of the directors and the committee appeared I at the last meeting, end having been taken as read, 2 , 1 The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, sai d h e • felt more anxiety than usual, because, though be could congratulate them on increased receipts and better prospects he would have to comment on the conduct of a body whom he had previously regarded as their coadju toes and friends. After the last meeting the board brought • before those to whom he a ll uded the necessity eitr of their amalgamating with the Anglo-American company or being allowed to redeem on equitable terms. The committee had given the directors most valuable assistance, and from first to last there had been no di ff erence of opinion between them as to the proper course to be I Pursued, so that if there were any blame it rested equally upon all. As regarded the proposition be fore them, he need hardly remind them that in 1866, the Anglo-American Compeny rescued them from their difficulties, and he regretted that they had now changed their course. (No, no.) It was impossible not to feel that the action of that company had been a source of great embarrassment. (Hear, bear.) He and his colleagues had been anxious for an amalgamation, but there was no approach towards one on the other side. The Anglo-Amerimn Company had published a summary of the propositions made, but it did not include all that took place. The negotiations having failed, the Anglo- American Company said that they bad better go to the shareholders and seek to raise fresh capital, and hence it was that this meeting was summoned. He was sorry that that company, which had hitherto reaped all the profit of the concern, had lent them no aid for that purpose. (Hear, bear.) Some doubts had been thrown on the legality of the coarse now proposed, but he begged to say that the board had taken the beet legal advice, and it was to the effect that the Atlantic Telegraph Company had perfect power to issue this 10 per cent. preference Stock. It bad been asked what advantage there would be to the old shareholders in substituting the 120,000 e charge for 125,0001. In the first place there would be a difference of 5,0001. in the amount, and in the next there would be a saving of 10,0001. a year in having only one establishment instead of two, and the board was convinced that in these and other ways great benefit would be derived. The board of the Anglo-American Company had endeavoured to pre vent persons from subscribing for the new capital. He then went on to say that with a view to an amalgamation the director. of the Atlantic Telegraph Company had offered to resign their seats in favour of Mr. Stewart and the other directors of the Anglo-American Company. (By this stage of the proceedings the room, which was not the largest in the building, became so crowded that there were repeated calls for an adjournment to the latter, indeed of which every available spot in the room in use was filled ape The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to comment in detail on the offer of the Anglo-Amenean Company, which he con tended would have left the old sharebolders quite novo. tected. In case of a serious fall in the receipts, the old shareholders would be left without their 4 per cent. At one period the offer of that board was actually accepted by the other board; but the latter subsequently informed the former that having consulted some large shareholders they could not then assent to it. As to the charge of misrepresenting figures, he must say that he felt irritated at it, especially as the statement put forth by this board was founded on figures supplied by the other board. Chico. tion NUR made to the use in the prospectus of the words " gross awnings," as being calculated to mislead. (Hear, hear.) -If they did not state the amount of the deduction" they mentioned theta. (A voice, "In another part r) In another pert ! Why. it was on the same page. (Cheers.) Was the imputation of misleading to be repeated on that occasion? (Hear, hear.) If there were anything on which he prided himself it was that that board bad been guilty of deception. If a labourer received 156. a week no one could my that • that was not his " earnings" because he bad to pay rent and their own case was similar. The term " earnings" might be a loose one, but there was certainly no intention on their part to deceive. He further denied that the delay in the reduction of the tariff was, as hail been alleged, • fault of the board; though . ..... . _ he admitted that it was not made at once lest the intermits Mr. Barnes, M. I'. , addressed his constituents of the old shareholders should be prejudiced. He then last night at Bolton, treating of the teiorm question, the alluded to a circular issued, as he said, from the office of the stockbrokers of the Anglo-American Company, and Irieb church, and education. impressed with that compeny's stamp, though the board I Mr. Roebuck has acceded to the request of the of that company repudiated it, urging the shareholdersof the Chamber of Industry to address the working men of Shot- Atlantic Telegraph Company to withdraw their proxies for I field, at the Teinperanmehall, on the subject of " Capital thateccesion. He deeply regretted that the Anglo-American , Company should apparently have lent itself to such an w e and Labour," on Monday evening next. kind and unchristian proceeding. In conclusion. he said A melancholy ice accident occurred on a loch at it had been suggested that it was closeable to Inverness on Wednesday, resulting in the death of two adjourn the meeting, in order to afford time for brothers named Groves.

He then moved a resolution to the effect that, fur the reason which be had indicated, luunit). the meeting should be adjourned until the 25th February. THE IRISH CIIVRCH. —Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.

Owing to the long epeeches yesterday, it was announced at the opening of the coeference this morning that each speaker must try to limit himself to ten minutes. After the resolution now under discussion is disposed of, the following motions re main upon the programme : " 2. That in such measures as may be desirable for the general provision of the means of efficient primary and secondary education it would be tight to consolidate and improve, rather than overthrow, what has already been done, bat the voluntary principle requires to be supple. merited by local rates for education.

TZMPLZ-SAE. — Rut there is another ruin, or partial ruin, the future of which is • matter of more interest, at least to Londoners. Among the houses lately removed is that into which the northern abutment of Temple-bar need to be built, and the Bar, though it apparently did not de pend on the house for any portion of support, looks la if it had lost one of its arms, and as if it no longer afforded good quorums to the hairdresser who still holds • dwarfed and gloomy room in its base and who is said to have occupied its u pp er chamber, if Indeed it was not rather in the tenancy of Messrs. Child the banker.. There it stands, like Hans Christian Andersen's leaden soldier—won, crippled, lop-sided, crumbling, and dill steadfast, though the statues which adorn its niches are se faded and shapeless as the traitors' heads which once sur mounted them. But the leaden soldier of whom Andersen wrotelsorbc.rutifol a story came to a sad end at last in spite of his pluck and sense of discipline, and the days have sorely owns when Temple-bar mnst seek for a new lomd habita tion, unless Londomers are willing that their main stream of east and west traffic shall continua for the future to pass through a space barely wide enough for two waggons to paw each other. The City authorities not unnaturally object to any removal of their landmarks ; but as there are only ten house between Temple-bar and Chancel - Pane, one of which is already in process of being pulled down, it is perhaps not unreasonable to hope that the rest of them may be removed, to the great im provement of the line of direct eut and west communica tion. If this should be done the Bar can hardly be leftstand ing where it ia, for it would be at the same time awkward and unsightly that one portion of the traffic should pass through and another outside the Bar, which in that case wo uld neither fulfil its vocation as a gate nor abandon it. Perhapsite most retural fate would be to stand as the two triumphal arches built in Paris in memory of the victories of LouislXV. stand, at right angles to the Maul street and as near as possible to its present Amadora. In the course of the alteration made by the building of the new law roans and the Thames embankment some honourable but not obstructive post may surely he found for it, not far from the site of its ancient but departed elegies. such • place it may still stand, fallen indeed from its high emote as the scene of the beritague ceremony of giving to and receiving from royalty the keys of the City, end from Its onerous post es perhaps the most ineonvernent spot in all London, bat risiag api. hem its ashes to do !nimbler work, and to do II UV= than of old.—Load sad Weer, Jan. 2S.

In the stock markets to-day the English funds are rather dull, a few Sales having been made upon the unsatisfactory tenor of the adviota from the United States.

Caledonian is in prominent request, and exhibits a rise of nearly 1 per cent., being about 7} above the lowest quotation recently touched. The public still hold almost entirely aloof from this department, but an additional large amount of stock has been bought to close speculative accounts. The rate for the best paper in the discount market is 1/ to per cent., with a very large amount of money offering, and few bills in circu lation. In the Stock Exchange there is little or no demand for loans on English government securi ties, even at 4 per cent. per annum.
