They are convinced that nothing would tad more sorely to the exteaska of the culti. vetim of Nam from Amnion seed, and to the improve meat of the native estop, than the location, in the cotton prodociag districts, of competent agents os the pin of the manufacturer, empowered to purchase all cotton of • superior quality which might be offered ro them, and to reject all suck as might be of es inferior description. The noun pro pose, for the present, to limit their operations to the purchase of a moderate quantity of cotton annually, for consignment to this coustry,—to the didribution to the ryots of end of the superior descriptions,—to the introduction of improved methods of cleaning and packing,—and to the collection and diesemisatioa of afore:lntim in regard to the best modes and times of culture.

" In conclusion, I am directed to convey, Worth you, to the Commercial Association, the court's acknowledgments for the report on the quality of the Cohabatore and Tin ninny cotton, recently consigned to the emaciation fm sale in Manchester, which was forwarded in Mr. Fleming's letter of the 28th ultimo.-1 am, sir, your most obedient, humble **resat, "ham C.

The court of directors express their conviction that " nothing would tend more surely to the extension of the cultivation of cotton from American teed, and to the im promises of the satire stoic, than the location, in the cotton-prodacing districts, of competent agents on the part of the manufacturer, empowered to purchase sit cotton of • superior quality which may he offered to them, and to re ject all each as might be of an Janke dentiptios." This is precisely what Mr Mercer insisted upon most strongly in his otterview with the Commercial Association two years ago, and there le, no doubt, some truth in it. Bat why does the Houourable Company leave oat of shalt the moot important question of all, in connection with the supply of cotton — that of 'Always? Till the cell of trunk from the interior to the ports has been greatly lessened, by the vonstouctinn of railways and the makirg of good roads, we cannot expect to a • any grest incase in the exports of Indian cotton to this country, unless prisue ken should range much higher thee they have lately hems, or an likely to be in future. o 1 1 0 o 2 37 3 O 1 2 0 7 0 0 2 1 1 4 0 i 2 IB.ELAND.

Today there Is to be a magnificent stag hunt at Killarney, in bosour of the Lord Lieutenant, who prose de to Cork to-morrow, where be will remain till Saturday, when it is supposed that his excellency will return to town. The rumour of an moult on the polioe barrack is said by the Freeman's Journal to be a fabrication. The report had also appeared in the Kilkenny Mode rator, as well as the Evening Packet. The Dolly's Brae investigation has terminated. One of its most unpleasant features is that there must I be gross perjury at either side, as Mr. F. Beers has denied upon his oath the statements made by IFrancie *Phelan, John Paul, Thomas Morgan, atd IJohn M'Evoy. These witnesses deposed upon oath to the furious demeanour of Mr. Beers upon the bloody day in question; but that gentleman in the most • alemn manner denied the various particulars alleged egaiost him. This is a terrible exbibitiln in a wart of jostler; but, indeed, the word "justice" A m a stooge sound wherever Orangeiam ts con ' eared. The 'several journals here canvass the affair at Dolly's Brae with as much assiduity as if it occurred yesterday. The Keelung Mail elf last night does its best to screen Lod Roden and the magistracy, and .ys that the Earl of Clarendon was the real offender, because the marching of the Orangemen in 1848 wee countenanced by the government. It tries to support this statement by referring to the evidence of a ma gistrate, Mr. Thomas Scott, who stated that he had informed Mr. Redingtoe, in 1848, that disturbances were likely to tale place from the matching of the O On trangemme. he other side, the Press of last night has a very lengthy but able leader, treating with great severity of the conduct of the government. and int/. maripg its opinion that " as to diarrhoea from the utagutraey,l.oed Roden and his associates may now defy it." The Press also accuses the government d " criminal complicity in the revived of Orangeism.'

(Chas) lily. JOSIAH WILSON hid stated on a former caoilss that be considered the affairs of the company re. geared the careful examination of a person well acquainted with accounts, ail* on behalf of the shareholders. It ap peared that Messrs. Quitter and Ball had bees employed for that *ruse, bat it must be r. collected that these tenth men had been asployed sot by the shareholders but by the exe cutive, and had made their report in that skararter. The great ability of Mans. Quitter end Ball se accountants, he did not dispute, hut they all knew, (though it might be is. possible to Us-state figures) how easy it wee in skilful heads to make them appear to answer the views of one pasty or the other. (Ott,* ) What lee desired wee that this mamma shoeld be audited by seer unman, who felt that they were acting en behalf of the proprietors, and sot of the executive merely. With regard to the present mode of *di., it was wires than useless. The directors appointed their " t own auditors, who merely examined the vouchers put before them after all the payments were made, to see that the becks agreed with the voucher". He had no doubt that the direc tees were reared sow with the names of auditors, as they had been before with the list of a committee of avestigs tios, when that course was proposed, and what had been the result ? That the accounts were, after all. made out to suit the views of the di mes% ea of the members of the committee having been already reworded by a seat at the board. (" Oh, oh !") The chairman had told them that if the sum now carried to revenue bad been left on the capital 'meat until the whole works were finished, the offset would have been comparatively unfelt. That was not a proper defence of the system of takiag nom capital what ought to come from rave atm Moo* had been taken in that way, sod now they were called ea to raise more to pay it back. He believed that if the shareholders did not take matters into their own bands, the dividends would come down from 301. to 205., and se on to 10e., until at last they crumbled away altogether. The next point upon which be had °Meer Jose to make was, the power asked for by the directors of edgier a large sum of money by means of a guaranteed rote of in terest, that use to say, in plain English, an Mee of pre. krenos shires. (Hear, hear.) He moved as ea asses& sent that ell that portion of the report which referred to the creation of guaranteed stock, which was, is feet, preference stock should be emitted. The CHAIRMAN said that the adoption of the report would sot pledge the meeting to the issue of the gnu*. teed see*. With must to the other observations of the haw,gesp he would say that no scrutiny of the eons skies of investigates Dad been able to name to the dilations* payment of a disheserarable kind. (Hear, beer.) Mr. CARLISLE seconded Mr. Wilsoa's amendment, be cause be *ought that while 240,0001. remained due on cella, it was absurd to talk of raising 100,0001. b 7 means of pus. Tante* stock. The lager themen* was arewed to remain dee, the greater world be the diiaulty in getting it in. (Hoer, hear.) The ameadotent was thee put and negatived, after which the directors' report was pat and manimonsly adopted. The CHAIRMAN said that his next duty woe to move that a dividend not 'audios 10s. Bd. each on the paid-up shares, 9s. 4d. on the No. 1, sad Bs. 4d. on the No. 2 shares, be declared. A PROPRIETOR said he understood that under the Ashford and Hosting' act so dividend could be declared until throe years alter the completion of the works, and that consequently the last dividend was Megal. Toe CHAIRMAN said that the directors were acting under the best legal advise as regarded that matter. They were instructed that the act should be read as applying only to the capital used in the construction of that anion of the line. The No. 1 shares had not been so applied. The dividend was uneninsouly adopted. The bye-laws for the North Kent, Gravesend, Greenwich, sad Woolwich lieu were then put and agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said he now tame to the nuestion of raising the money, and the state of things wu this. There wee a number of No. 4 shares which had never been and by I*e directors but remained as scrip in their possession. The regulation stated that such shares as might remain in the ham* of the directon after the proprietors had ban satisfied, might be disposed of at the discretion of the former. The dhecillees now propped to issue them a' a fixed guaranteed MU le bitterest. The actual mortgage debt of the company at pretest exceeded 1,169,0001., while the remaining mom ct =went:tended to only about 80,000 L They proposed to issue these shares at a guaranteed rate of Interest in perpetuity of 44 per cent., which would be equivalent to a mortgage at that rate. Ile proposed then the power be given to the directors to issue sew shares to the smarm of 340,000!., bearing 44 per cent. interest. Mr. RENSHAW seconded the motion. Mr. JOSIAH WILSON objected to this issue of preference share., as nothing was more caledated to run down their duce. He bad seen the coneequesces of such a system in the ffisessed* Mae 10 years sines. He thought that the emelisratism Ow Outlast a question should be adjourned seta the thareitolders had had an opportunity of giving it Aill sauskistation. Mr. ALBERGER me quite eta los to know why it was that a ammo* having a isapital ef sight er aloe mentions alaraid call on the shareholders to niee mosey at 44 per oat. by means of prefer** , shares. He thought debentures at Eger ant. preferable to preforms shares at 44. After some The CHAIRMAN bogged to be permitted to put the re solutket before them and the amendment which had been moved by Mr. Wilson. The amendment was put first and lest by a very large ma. levity. On the roulades losing t, I Mr:JOSIAH WISPON said* pu had another amendment to move, via., that the shares should not be Weed below par. He nouns:After some coavenation, signed to withdraw this, an The CHAIRMAN Vela stearin the seed* that the shares should be issued at par, and at par osly—(hear) to bear interest at 4 per amt. in ~mity. The racist* woe then sgresd to. After a leas and desultory diesseeloae seta the remunera tion of directors, in whisk precis* 41 marlins amounts were suggested, it was at last erigaseillOk.ALllllo ll that the amain( director should have 2,0001., and the other direc tors WM.a year each.

The CHAIRMAN said that, whether the number was nine or nineteen, the actual work would be done l e Lf i rr. Ha thought sine would do the *Suss es well se Mr. JOSIAH WILSON again suggested postponement. After some further conversation the motion se amended was put sad agreed to.

Yesterday a special general meeting of this company was held at the Paddy station. C. RUSSELL, . M.P., the charm's, opened the proceedings. He it would not be necessary for hien to detain the peopelemes many minutes after the reading of t i li ris heleaad tol verth ias heituum eO ina ree tli‘ e : r i t siallis.a that ft T w it o e uld heltfan be Y- sureel YtheaarliP y gr"“m req "lis uie l i gs f t ara e t , any more for him to raided the proprietors of the expression of on in which the point manna originated. Their auditors, when they milted the scoonts of let year, ad enoma to them a report, m which they recommended that throe proprietors should be selected to consult with the director on the querhes set forth in the advertisement—all of them matters deeply affords*, no doubt, the interests of the company. The directors immediately and cordially acquiesced in that suggestion ; the proprietors were pleated to 'wept it, and they were assembled that day to awry out their own de termination. On the part of th e directors, all it woe necessary for lies to state was that when the proprietors had chosen the committee, they would be given by the directors the tallest and freest access to every description of information they might think fit to require, and that the directors would comially concur with them in carrying out whatever raes sans might be adopted mom them for the general benefit of the company. (Hear, hear.) This would be the object , of the first re olution. The neat bedews of the proprietors would be to elect four gentlemen to 811 the vacancies which had been created in the board of direction. It was anima ble for the directors to contemplate the retirement of old mileages' without considerable regret ; bat ft had been re presewed to them that the eppoin,ment of four new direc tors, chosen by the proprietors themselves, would be cal culated to give confidence to the proprietor and to the pub lic; they felt this object to he superior to all considerations of road feeling—(hear, hear)—end the proprietors had now to select four gentlemen from among themselves to ti the Tummies that had bean created. It was right he should se t/neat them that, in point of form, the appointment must be made by the directors. Their act of parliament enabled the proprietors to elect to vacancies maimed by retirements in rotation in the month of February bit all vaeaucia basset ing at intermediate periods must be filled up by thl tors. This, however, was a mare matter of form, for the dl rectors had convened • board for to morrow, and those gentle men whom the proprietors might select that day would them be appointed on the board by the directors. (Hear.) Before they wee t to the business of the day, he hoped they would faun him when he recommended that the pro ceediegs should be orderly. (Hear, hest.) Whatever ols serrations hen, proprietors might have to make on the sub jects brought before them, would sorely carry more weight if delivered in calm and temperate language. (Hear, hear.) The directors had given the Mt proof it was In their power to afford, of their full readiness to act cordially with the proprietors in the mesons which might result from that day's meeting. (Hear, hest.) The common object with all of them must obviously be to improve their common property—(hear, hear)—to support and extend the prosperity of their common enterprise, and this would be beet accomplished. not by angry disenssion, not by exaggerated statements, but by all et them cordially and heartily, and with temperate earnestness concurring towards the common good. He should conclude by calling upon some bun. pro prietor to wive the first resolution, appointing the committee of consultation. Mr. L. HEY WORTH then moved: " That Thomas Static Oledstone, Charles Frederick Sage, and Richard Withers, Pews. ' be • committee for the purpose of conferring wi th the board of die ream", from time to time, on the exercise of their powers with regard to the general expenditure and liabilities of the company, the outlay of capital for now lines and works, and the regulations for g a reserve fund, and that they be authorised to report their opinion to the propristen upon the several matters so referred to them, after consultation with the directors thereon, the board being requested to give every requisite and proper facility to the said committee the the performance of that duty." Mr. ALSTON was decidedly of opinion that one member of the committee should be resident ia or quite near Lon dm. (Hear, hear.) London was the seat of the railway, a Imp proportion of the property in the line belonged to residents In London, and it was, therefore, peculiarly proper ' that a London prop rietor should take pot to the oonsulta tans. (Hear, hear) To appoint Mr. Hey worth would be en make the committee wholly • Liverpool committee. He would, thereto, propose instead, Mr. Williams, the late Member br Coventry, • reddest in London, and a gentler men most competent and merge tie. • SHAREHOLDER entirely concurred in the of this suggestion. lie had the highest opinion of qualifications, but the eireumatanos that he was not in London rendered him less desirable than Mr. William. Mr. F. PRY supported the original nominations. Mr. MAYHEW asked whether the three gentlemen of minated were present ? The CHAIRMAN mid that Mews. Gladstone and Withers were parent, but not, he believed, Mr. Sage, Mr. MAYHRW considered that all of them ought to have been present, in order to give the proprietors say pledge that might be desired, that, if elected, they would apply the whole of their time and energies to the dudes to which they were appointed. All that time and all these energies would be required to nerW4lll the arteries of the accounts which would be laid before them, and which se ordinary attention could fathom. For his own pert, groat es hie losses bad been from railways, he would much rather coo tribute towards a salary for these gentlemen than not have their usidnous attention. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAMS said that even if elected he should de cline to act, tor this reason, that, having a largo interest in the company, he had looked carefully into the matter, and considered the appointment of their committee a pirfret farce and delseion. (Hear, hear.) Here came his excellent friend Mr. Lawrence Heyworth with a list of three gentle men, no doubt very respectable permits, but all pre-arranged appointments. There was lint Mr. Gladstone, one of the very auditors of last year who recommended the committee. Mr. Gladstone was clearly a very eararetest am to fill say situation, however important ; but his immediate connection with the genie( up of the committee rendered his appoint ment upon it of very questionable propriety. He had ex. petted that the chairman, in hie opening speech, would have given them some meow for the adoption of this mums, but be bad given none whatever. The company had always exhibited gnat confidence in the dime tors. Were the directors tired of this confidence, or did they reall think that it war time a closer watch should be set upon them? Personally he bed every respect for the directors, bat he quite concurred that they should be looked after. He did not believe that this committee would throw so much light upon the condition of the company as wee requisite to restore that public confidence in the comers which could aloe* raise that condition from its present dee premice. As it was, he who went into the market with area Wasters shares went with documents of next to no value. There wee • that Indication of preconcert made about the whole thing. The CHAIRMAN - begged to say a few words in reference to what hod fallen from the hon. proprietor. The hon. pro miller denounced this committee as a mere farce. He pre snood that the hon. proprietor by this expression meant to mewl the opinion that the selection had been made by col ludes between these gentlemen and the directors ; if so, to sash an imputation he at once gave a positive and unequivo cal denial. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gladstone, it was may toe, was the auditor who recommended the eppiatinent of this committee- it was percale], bemuse Mei odes created was one of great reepoomblity, of moo &Meaty, of great labour, that Mr. Gladstone haviog Ssom as person to recommend its creation, felt that he mad net eensistemly decline meepting its responeilaility emi lie Meer. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Withers stood inmost the some pretties ; he wee one of the proms who hod most sought the iaquiry ; and the inquiry having 1181. 11= he fele that he could not refuse to mdertake the Wass whisk it involved. (Hest, hear.) Names of higher anew city than them of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Withers maid net be submitted far such • purpose to any railway proprie tary. (Hear hear.) Mr. Sep, the third /mailman, wm the prapristor and manager of a highly ha =at cornea meaulactoey at BristoL Mr. Wll @shed for the mamas upon which the com mittee woe founded; the mesons were suilidently potent, he should have imagined, on the resolution beta* the meeting. (Hear, hear.) The matter, however, was en. *sly in the Asada of the proprietary. ig"", BMITHERB objected that no notice had boon gives of th* names of the pro posed committee. The CHAIRMAN d that until that morning he had not himself known who was to be nominated. Mr. [WITHERS thought it so ess ential that the proprie lose sbeald have time to consider the names, that he would moms to ti day, to be named by the d ieere Ohs a ppointment of.e q the committee to some concurred in the propriety of loan one irectors gentleman en . Huite the large seated. n etl ea s e g ly way In which their committa l M i l committee raddeut ot in the of ea Diler stal Dl ei n ui tto e n ee ; in s pan city y in was eliiii ssen ts • . be satisfactorily conducted, would be by having very inc. quest meetings with the board, and it would be pits it compatible with the occupations of men in • large way eli business at Liverpool or Bristol. to attend anything like he quest meeting% in Loudon. Mr. MERCER seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN having pat the poetics al afilcons mint, Mr. MATHEW rose to support it, became the path s= who were proposed were airs all present to make some pledge to the proprtstera. The sera of the meeting was evidently against postpone ment, and Mr. Smithey accordingly withdrew his mellow, and the original motion was !spin put. Mr. MERCER agreed with what had fallen from the last speaker but one, that they ought din to appetite a contratimi of consultation, and that the question was of confides.* or no eon fi dence is the directors. lf they were of opinion that the directors had not kept their mounts well, let them cal fa a public accountant to examine them. 'they were going to pat four fresh act is the direction, otei they ought Mr. FRY seconded this amendment. Major COURT opposed the amendment, end referred to several items is the aotoonts of the company, to show the necessity there a xisted for appolatiog a committee of roma talkie. Bur since 1847 they had spent 000.0001., and yet their halfeyearly revenue was nearly 10001. less than k 1847. (Hear, bear.) They wanted to being that gustiest is a Make ameiderstion, read the way to do it was by act far ele tba neggesisa of the direetcee, and mitering late es Art fir martmlinp the guarantees of the cosepany. itTeRIZTOR remarked, that if they were to appoiat • committee, it should be ea sack terms as they could all Dancer ie. Before they decided on the poem who were to form that committee, it was highly des ira ble that the pro posed names should be submitted to the body of proprietors at lane. The CHAIRMAN said that that could not be dote with out re-openiur the question of adjournment, which had bees decided. Mr. y VOUSLRY was of opinion that if there was one thing more than another calculated to give confidence to the company, it woe the appolatmeu of such • committee es wm proposed, which emanated, in the first place, from the auditors, and in the ,woad, was supported by the directors, who, to show that they had no secrets, desisted that the fullest sow should be gives to all documents, books, Re. Such a committee would be able to say, after a clogs examination of the accoante, how the d etrain of the company stood. If they were worse than they now appeared, It would be well to knew the worst. He had yet to lure, however, whether the appoint. Rent was to be merely honorary, or with a salary. He cared not which himself. Bat be wee decidedly of opinion that the meeting would beet moult its intonate by epeeist- Jog three efficient proprietors, or four—he should gladly see Mr. Williams, the late member for Coventry, added to the number—who would report at • subsequent meeting the real stets of their floancial position and prospects. The mover of the amendment was melted upon by Several proprietors to withdraw it, upon which he said he was will leg to do so if it were the deals of the wieetisg; but Mr. Fry, the seconder, having objected to its withdrawal until the feelsig of the muting was more distinctly ascertained, • show of hands wan called for, which rejected the mead rent, by a large majority. Mr. MURRAY moved that the name of Mr. Williams (late M.P. for Coventry) be added to the three already men tioned as fermium the committee of consultation. Major COURT seconded the motion. Mr. GLADSTONE said that the powers proposed to be given to the committee were mAt exte naive, and certainly comprehended an investigation of liabilities . (Hear, hear. He was fully aware of the difficulties and responsibility of the task, that nothing buts strict nue of duty could have overcome his unwillingness to enter upon it, and he would mast readily give way to a more competent men. (No, co.) He should, at all events, gladly have Mr. Williams on the committee, and he was prepared by his active exertions and Agee of the two other gentlemen named, to show Mr. Wel- Name that the committee was anything bat a humbug. (Hear, hear.) In order to carry the thing out effectually, it might be necessary for them to call In more assist ant* than their own heads could afford, but he unseived that if they required an accountant to aid them they bad full liberty to call in such aid. (Hear, beer.) He did not expect the proprietary to pay him or his gelleagues anything for their services, but be did expect that they should pay the expense of working the continitjt. (Hear.) He thought it right to and that they had been the most cordial and candid manner by . the thairmanlrl directors, and he fully believed in their sincere desire to give 'their most active co-opera'ion to the committee. (Hear, ben.) There was no doubt that the company's money had been spent extravagantly, foolishly ; but it was gone, and all that could be done now was to look forward, and to try, by economy and good management, to restore prosperity to their affairs. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WITHERS entirely concurred in what had fallen (rem Mr. Gladstone, as to the purpose of the committee. The res. lution wee then put and carried, the name of Mr. Williams and the term " having been inserted as above. Mr. GLADSTONE then rose to move: " That the under-mentioned proprietors duly qualified be recommeaded for election as directors in the manner pea -1 eided by the act of parliament, and in the place of the tour direeton who have retired from the board of management, via.: Samuel Baker, Esq., of London; Richard Potter, Esq , of Clayton-hall, Herefordshire; Charles Wardell, Esq., of London ; Thomas Williams, Esq., of London." There had been at first the names of six gentlemen to sub mit to the proprietary, but Mr. Vining had declined to act, so that only five names heel remained; and the four were tet be proposed whose appointment would effect the object generally admitted to be desirable, of infusing sew blood into the direction. (Heir, hear.) With every concession to the worth and ability of the exiatiog board, certain it was that the affairs of the company were not so flourishing as might be desired; and it was well, therefore, that new men should add their efforts. The names proposed were those of Messer. Sam. Baker, R. Potter, C. Wardell, and Thomas Williams. A PROPRIETOR seconded the motion. Ever since the existence of the company, the proprietors had allowed the directors to re-elect one another as a matter of course. He hoped that the proprietary bad been thoroughly awakened Ito a MEN of what was due to themselves. He understood that an attempt was tabs made to insist upon the re election of Mr. Jones, bat he hoped that local prepossessions would yield to the general good. In reply to Mr. Wt uute ' The CHAIRMAN stated that the new directors would stud alphabetically in the position occupied by the directors balloted out, and their term of office would expire at the time when their predecessors' term would have expired. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. MERCER moved that the re-election of Mr. George JOINS be recommended, and, in doing se, read several reso lutions end papers, to show that it was the desire of the Bristol proprietary that he should be in the direction—that he had been in it from the commencement, and had been very attentive be. The CHAIRMAN explained that when it was deter mined that four members of the direction should be ballotted out, it was also agreed that those members should not con , sent to be re-elected. He reuretted that Mr. Jones was one of those. He admitted that he had been most assiduous and attentive to the interests of the company, but he could not admit that he had any peculiar claim beyond his colleagues to the consideratioa of the proprietore, and he must therefore resist the voodoo. Mr. PLOWDEN (the other director who had been bal lotted out, two having retired) said that the directors had exercised a wise discretion in doing so, as he really had not that time to devote to the affairs of the company which they required. Bet, as a proof of the interest he felt in the welfare of the company, be might mention that the shares he held he had bought at 1701., that he had never trafficked in them, and that he held them still, though reduced to 611. (Hess, hear.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that it was only by infusing huh blood into the direction that they could hope to restore confidence. That was one reason for selecting Mr. Jones. But it wee a sheer waste of time to discuss the question. be cause if Mr. Jones were re-eleeted, he, as an honourable man, would rerun to serve, and thus they would be obliged to elect some one else. He hoped the hon. gentleman would withdraw his motion. (Hest, hear.) Mr. MERCER consented to withdraw the motion, upon which the original motion, electing four new directors, was put and agreed to; and a vote of *who having been passed to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. NIL HUTTON'S =POI? Bristol, Sept 19. The actoonnts presented are compiled from the statement prepared by the Great Western Railway Company, and in to their shareholders on the 9th Nov., 1548, professedly with a view to lay bus their liabilities and exhibit their preeputive condition. That statement, subject to such alte rations as are demanded by the subsequent publication of their half yearly accounts of 31st Dee., 1848, and 30th Jute, 1849, forms** basis of this account. Before entering upon the consideration of these figures, it is necessary to draw at tention to the fact that the statement of liabilities published in Nov. 1848, does not contain the slightest allusion to a l arge amount of liability due on account if the opened liam for the pushes* of lands, and claims for componsation, to contractors or the execution of works, to parliainutuy agents, engineers and solicitor', for professional charges, and to merchants and tradesmen for general accounts. It must be manifest that a statement of liabilities can never be considered as complete or satisfactory to shareholders which omits sums recognised by the company as due and not paid, as well se an estimate. or at least an approximation to each, of the amount of liability on disputed efir. The suppression of this important informa tion more damaging to the true interests of a company than the fullest disclosures. It will therefore be borne in mid that. In estimating the financial position of the Great Western Railway Company, u apparent from the following statement, there is not the slightest provision made for liabsthka of this description. The half yearly accounts issued by the Great Western Railway Company are far from beiag as coupes ' hensive and explanatory as their nature demands, and ma the shareholders have • right to expect. There is a discrepancy which suikes the observer very forcibly between the amount of interest due on borrowed capital and amount stated to have been paid for that purpose.
