A resolution of the board which had been formerly passed to refute to entertain any application from the Great Central Gas Consumers' C.III pony until they had procured their bill, was at ore. rescinded. A memorial, under the seal of the company. was read to the meeting, and a deputa.iou from tie dine ton r.eard ; the meeting then, by • majority of 15 to 3, granted power to the company to lay their pipes and mains aleag the roads, within the jariadietioa of the eonunissionere.

The annual meeting of the members and friends t f ha Muchtster Peace Society was held in the Friers. a' Meeting hour, last evening; Mr. Alderman H in the chair. Several influeetial member of the bsdy of Friends were seated oe the platform. The report of the last year's proctedittgs, which was read by Mr. 'testis's, stated that a tract on the subject of puce or war bad been left in every hoes., shop, and warehocse. whboet any inteetinagi exeeptit n, in Manchester and Salford. Of this series or tracts the committee state that, is Manchester and other tower, the whole number distrbeted was 140,000. Atten tion was direct. d to the cost of cur war establishments, but with an acknowledgment that the war estimates for 1850 were three miliitins lees than he espenditur• of 1848. Re. firehee was made to the Austrian and Russian loess, and .ri the conduct of Rajah Brooke in exterminating what Were celled mounded pirates. A brief urine was also given of the Peat, COneren at Brussels in 1868, and at Paris in 1849; and the rport spoke in hope'ut terms of the progress of pacific principles, intimating, however, that no great things can be elite ed with an loco taie of 701. a year. It seemed that another peace convention was to be held at Frankfort in August, at which many Americans were expect. d The committee ejake with thacklulneis that the revolutionary storms on the continent did not reach our shores, sod the report cioncluded with an appeal for more vigorous support to prosecute the peer: campaign. Mr. T. DALTON moved, and Mr. T. BINTON secondtd, the adoptioa of the report. The resolutien was carried una nissoesiy.—Tr • Rey. J. Prrnsa moved the second resole which was 'Hooded by Mr. W. BTOILLO... f the London Peace Sulety, and supported by Mr. G. Tmoureom, , who said— He was 4-lighted to find himself in the midst of thou whom a scornful and unbelieving nation denominated fanatics ; glad to be amongst those who were labouring to exhume an Argots and long buried portion of our blessed ...bristianity —love for one another. 'rears was somethiee in the object that meeting had in glow which invested the whole with suhl mitt' and grandeur. (Cheers.) Though bum -lit' and self-die:rut busses thou who expounded any great truth, hopefulness and boldness may at the same time be assumed. It was not for them to fear the ridtcule and opposition of men who reverendtd opinions only in yr portion t. the p,pularity of the preacher. Truth was as pure and puseloas in the bosom of the begat, as in the soul of the mismatch. (Cheers.) Pure began at home, and settled first Is the depths of the man's gold who had received the doctrine of the Piaui, of Pewee. The battle-field we. a seems the most appalling; the opposing hors gathered there were per usal, Its known to each other; and as to the subject in dispel, had neither knowledge nor passion. Take any one of those soldiers hue brought tog. Ott rto weirder ugh other and we should behold one of the noblest of all created beings, a neaten fearfully and wonderfully made, possessing a soul endowed with the same faculties as those poeseseed by an Isaiah and a Devid, a Daniel or a Paul, a Milton, or a Bacon, or a Locke. Who could calmly contemplate the destruction of such a being without a pang? If no right minded men would think of wantonly dogtrot lag any plus of exquisite and weird mechanism—s t\ of togs, and springs, and pulleys ; a thing that felt sot, hope d not, loved not, hated not, worshipped not—wbet Milt the deplorable state of mind which could emotion the diminution of the being suable of these sympathise and aspirations ? He could tweseire of no authority whisk man had, either in his indi vidual or segregate amity, for taking the life of his fellow. He was utterly opposed to the indiction of death-penalty in any form, or under any circumstances. If this dread power was to b exercised, let it be placed is the hands of one whose judgment was lafallible, whose feelings could not be warped, and who did not exercise this poser but I. obedi ence to a deep conviction and feeling of absolute a.. comity, end the highest responsibility. There were seamy enesereghig signs he mould =esti= warrantiag the beluf that the eau* of isteesational peace was advaneing, and, is coulesioa, he would eay—psewneett, and mieseengers of peace, in your holy OMNI. iwmr.t: afraid of martyrdom, for thotigh you shssM pad* bus every atom seattertd to the winds, He Ise whom yea die* woutd raise up allOtiefir advocate to semi through the wait I the mismaage of pease. Remember that those who have perithett in • good eau have done most for that awn. Yee, humanity sweeps onward— where to-day the martyr studs, on the morrow Judas crouches with the silver Is his hand. Fur not—though the cross stands ready, and the crackling fugue burn, while the booting snob of ysstsrday la silent awe return, to glean up the scattered ashen in his tory's golden urn. A position to ths legislature was aftiewatels asloptist. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, - MARCH 29, .1850. SECOND Aim go &SIMMS of THIS NIGHT. Foam x-anics. Mims 111.—The Clam has bon WZolo awes* et K.

Yesterday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the she-. bi leers was held at the Freemasons' Tavern ; Mr. PLusis ars, the chairman of the board. 'fa the chair. Aber tto readiog of the notice by the secretary. Captain Cvdrii roe, and tne affixing tie seal to tae register iu the usual 111.41 , 111,,, Tne CHAIRMAN m wed the adoption of the report and sta•eateat et &comma, inserted ia the Daily New. of Tuesday lase. The CHAIRMAN felt it duet. the charade, of the board to state what boa actually Iteppened with respect to the E tiaburgh and Glasgow Ania'gaination Bill, which was mode the object of some remarks in the House of C !moons in the previous week. Previous to the formetion ot the pre sent board, and vole hout any consultation with its members, the chairman c f tee E linburgh and Gamow »A way addressed a letter to the chairman or the committee of investigation, who was not a member of the hued, suggestieg that, under the circumstances, an smalgamsti:n between the two railways mignt tee d. citable, u affording to the creditors ot the Coleemien ksilway Company Ms security of two companies instead ot One, and elfeticg as inducement to them, in considesetion of the incr. aced security, to abate somewhat of their demanes, which in practiee it was found impoosible to meet. The present hoard, as a body, approved of the principle of amalgamation. There must, however, be a previ.ua restoretion of the Caledonian Contrail to a state of solvency. Though the directors were in favour of tem principle of amalgionaaen and of reducing the roman. toes to a sum which m ght be met, they had nothing to do with the dated& of the bill. (User, hear.) Toe ere. »mace shareholders were dealt with in a manner which the directors maid no more reconcile to their consciences, than they could be parties to • manliest fraud. (Coeera.) With rupee, to the preferebee thareholden, tire company had re ceived their cash, and the board had no m e re doubt about the propriety of paying them the stipulated dividend, than u to the propriety of payers any other debt whatsoever. (Hese, hear.) The necessity of requiring some abatement tor the just claims of the preference shareholders he freely admitted ; but that must ot course be a matter of agreement, aid net of compuloioo. (Hear, beer.) With respect to the guaranteed brae, had the bill been read a second time, he thought it highly probable that before it bad hot into committee arrangements would have been made which would have proved beneficial to all parties, and which would have relieved the Caledonian Company from a state of things the end of which no men could possibly foresee. To have attempted to carry the bill through parliament, is defiance of the guaranteed shareholders, would, to use the ezpremion of • French diplomatist, have been " worse than • creme—it would have been a blander." As a convoke y they were naturally opposed to one of the pro visions in the bill, namely, the provision by which they were saddled witn the pat meat to the Edinburgh and Gl4.e c tow Company of 4 per cont. At the same time, if the door were abut upon 'hem by the legislature he really did not see how it could be possible to connect the stairs of the company till parhameet met math. it appeared to him unfortunate, and even unfair, that some of the members who toe k part in the debits should have been so very unsparing in their condemnation. (Hear.) Is was very easy, in the absence of the accused party, to make out • stroug case, and Lon. members, who were in• targeted either in guaranteed lines, or in lines eropoeing to Moms guaranteed, were sod not able to speck with all the energy which a recast interest inspired. But their sr. gement. were not alt,gether fair. In looking at the sacred- nese of guarantees, they had oval shed the preliminary conditions of all agreements which were equally sacred. He did not think the remarks of one botourable member, who was a member of the late board, were made in the but possible taste. (Hoer, hear.) Nom other of the past or present boated was more fully aware of the utter impossibility of Nodding tee gua rantees ; and though he was pleased to hint that the late board would have shrunk from repudiation, sod appeared to insinuate that the present board would propose it, yet, in point of fact, the late beard did practise repudiation of every guarantee. (Hear, hear) They did not p ey any guarantee last year ; nor did they put it in the power of the board to pay any this half year. The board, when they came into .Mee, found no provision made even for debentures. (Hear, hear.) If that were not repudiation practically he reaUy din not know what was. (Hear, bear.) Before quitting the subject of the Edinburgh aid Glasgow bill, he must observe that one of the first acts of the new board was to put a stop to the eoropetiti .n which bad been candid en between the Caledonian Company and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. The present board put a stop to that useless' and injurious competition by an arrangement which obtained for the Caledonian Company in one hour's good-humoured conversation what the late board expended a million sterling in order to secure. It seemed only just that the north and south line should have the 'oath and south traffic—the rut and west line the east and west traffic. It was agreed that for the rods %rake there should still be competition, the 1'1:00 being wxtled by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. The efil• eacy of such an agreement would depend on the good fad h with which it was oburved, and the Caledonian board would do nothing to violate either its letter or its spirit. In approaching the weighty business of the day, be weald Ob. WOO that estimates( the period of the board's manage s». t by the time actually Tent, and the work done, they had already been six months in floe. What they had dose was the work of absolute uneseeity. Having found the ship in a sinking state, all they could do was to work at the pumps. It might have been thought by some shareholders that the report was rash, and gave too plain a statement of the truth. (' No, so.") The time must have come however when Caledonian secrets mu,' be developed. It was unnecessary to add anytking to the deplorable picture contained in the report. Over aad above liabilities, the pressure had bee* concentrated u it were OR the present period. The claims of creditors had of course been stayed off, for it was impossible to meet them. The state of things was exceedingly serious. The claims of the ordinary creditors amounted to 800,000 i.; part of which was ,versed by debeatures.wbiola bad not appeared in the report, 0437.000 f., and part by the purchase of shares, new worth little more man waste paper. There was such • needed between diffuse» claims that the Jim sent board bad been as much a board of lawyer, as of directors, sod had been in cons ant menhaden with &etch legal authorities. Much as the ooard was embarrassed b the want of money, they might perhaps be still more em by the possession of it— (laughter)—eo great was the difikulty of deciding between rival claimants. The legislature evidently intended to pro- vide the beet security for the debenture holders; tut the remedy of every creditor seemed to be that of killing the goose that laid the golden mos. (Hear, bear ) Ho was not without hopes that the Booted of Trade meal take up the enhjeot, gad preserve toe debenture property intact. Meer, beer.) Nut only the ordinary shareholders, but the nearanteed and preference shareholders generally, were in terested is keeping up the debenture security. That was the first duty of the present board, and they had succeeded in making a prop. neonate provision for the debenture interest la/ling du. (Hear.) Oa the subject ot the suaraatoes he mist tanerve, that* me 15..0W the meet al Me astray miaow ibis gse Ihl e ther boloaes between the liabilitaos and the gossip* el the esisaw,_llishr.

It was peeper to divide the gua ranteed lase it to than which had Jut shams and those whisk had not. There wale amain guarantees from which they felt that they was entitled to be alieved,pa the ground that the essentid conditions of an agreemeat had not been somplled with. He would take the ease of a line not ainnally completed. The Davies and Perth Company wished very ilinrally to lead Man their railway, and were so kind as to say that they would accept 8 per mat. This rail. way was 40 mike from their own. and them were bank liars intervening. Tot partials, t was asked to sanction nett an arrangement. He hoped parliament winild reject the bill on us seemed reading. If the bin passed, the beard would no mare la impressed with the wadi of the liability, thee with an obligation lapsed by parliament au all the beggars in the country to psy the Moose tax. (Laughter.) The Olugow, Semiarid , and lisilstemparantes, whim Named last session, stood in a somewhat d ife pool. tion. In that case they were asked to pay 39,000. a year. The railway was six miles long; it was only inellerestly ten meted with their own liw ; and having 1.1111.1 its destiny, wine\ was to be sold to the Caledonian Gempawy, it ended in a ()wary.

(Hera, lea.) With respect to the other lessee, he did not with to say that tl ere hid been anything to invalidate them. The tams were artatnly exorbitant, and could not in prat tine be carried oat ; but the lines stood in a diffe root ration he. other guaranteed lines. The terms were, however, better than they would have been had a true statement of the case ban laid before the Crledonian share. holders (Hear, hear.) The fact, that some of the direvors were interested at the time when the leases were granted should not be forgotten. (Hear, hear.) It appeared that one practice of the old beard wee to subdivitte shares so as to obtain the greatest number of votes. Teat could scarcely have accorded with the intention of the legislature ; it was certainly a great wrong to the Cab - ' dada& shareholders. Bah eiresunsuinces tended to weaken the sacral if not the legal obligations of the sharehold re with regard to the guarantees. The guaranteed compaties were, however, to a great extent in a similar position to the old sharerolders; they were liable for the company's debts, and wen it rained they would be involved in its ruin. It was useless to say that paha cant had sanctioned certain guarantees; the imam - to , el parties should consider whether or not it were possible to pay the guarantees. (Heat, bear.) Liti cation presented itself on every Land ; and an eminent Scotch lawyer had said in °emanation that be believed the Caledonia' Company was destined to solve many diffl alt points of law. (Hear, bear.) Such was 'he present position of the board that they were morally justifitd Ir. resistirg just claim., in order to prevent one creditor from having piece dente of another. To come to a practical aAution of their difficulties, it appeared to bimthat asatiefactory arrangement could hardly be effected by parties who were personalty inte rested. He had been told that he was himself too positive. Whether that were so cr not, he thr vett that if some man of weight and it fiance would undertake the work of srbitra. ea they inigl.t arrive at a satisfactory result. Any such man, alter reaai:lS the letters of ruined shareholders peruse d by himself would, he thought, be welling ts nod. alike the tali. There were many retired tradesmen end domestic servants, and a poor governess bad informed him that she had lost the pittance saved during the whole of her life (Hear, hear.) The pest transactions of this company affected rad *ray peaperty generally. In any act on the subject, pro viarotes of a general nature would naturally occur. In the in terview with the board of trade his learned friend Mr. Deane was asked to suggest a clause to meet the case of debenture hold , is; and perhsps a provision might be pasted which would greatly improve their position. There would, he slip page*, be an opp :eition on the part of the guaranteed share: holden to any artengement. It that were so, the company must be rained. Were all the parties intereated ',quanta wits the tate as the present directors had necers oily become acquainted with them, they would, he was persuaded, be tin- l i ',klieg to push extreme rights. It had beer suggested that there st.ould be a judicial tutor apvintnient. He felt per guided that a* bale fit e .iald result item that What he would suggest ass, that their title to a little interest in their non property should be recognised ; that taking the present ammo' of reeeigies, some dividend, were it only a sixteenth per cent., should be reserved f,r the old shareholders ; and that they shun d depend for an increase on the future. There were the elements of a Greatly iacreased traffic : Glasgow held cut a prospect of a much larger goods traffic ; all that was wanted to secure it was iscreaaed scam:node ion, which could not be provided without a speedy arrangemeat of the company's affairs. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. COLQUHOUN said he was in doubt whetter he sb. uld current himself with reading a protest, or crave permission to make a few observations. On the whole, he thought it more convenient to reed the protest at once. He then read a document gawk by Clydes dale eusranteed shareholders, protesting ageism so much of the report as referred to the guarantee, and g By against any attempt to obtain ► modifi :ation. (" Shame.") A SHAREHOLDER inquired of the chairman whether Mr. eo!cluti.un was a shareholder of the Caledonian Com pany? Ti., CHAIRMAN said that, under the act of parliament, his was entitle d to be heard. Mr. CtILQUHOUN called upon the muting to remember that the t pinions expressed in parliament were unanimous. Let them, as practical men, draw the =elusion that parliament would maintain inviolate all contracts made under its authority. If it were the wish of the shareholders and the directors to make an anticab et arrangement for the benefit of all parties, let Mr. Laboncluire be referred to; let his opini^n be asked as to the principles on which a negod ition should be conduottd, and possibly some daylight might be thrown on their Weaved affairs. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with the chairman that in the prosperity of the company all the shareholdt n were iltVOLVtli—(h sr, hear)—but he found it laid Town in the report, that the gurantee.t shareholders should be driven into a corner. 'The drat business of the new board we. to practise economy. He had been informed that the working en pens. s of the line were ten per cent. higher than thnee of the Midland line. If they went to parliament the first question would be, " Have you done all in your power ?" 1... r his own part, he admitted that it was highly desirable to c me t. an amicable settlement of the various matters in dispute. Having made these remarks, he would now retire. [He then It ft the room.] Mr. DEANE was glad that Mr. Colquhoun had adopted so oonetbantry a tore. Mr. HOUGH said he held a number of preference shares, and, atter ht anne all the facts of the case, would consent to a mod.fication. Many other of the preference shareholder with whom he had conversed were of the same mind. (Hear, hear.) He would suggest that deputations from the different classes of shareholder, should assemble for the pur pose of discussing the subject The CHAIRMAN said the board were perfectly willing to receive rioteestions from preference shareholders. Mr. HOUGH said be had spoken the sentiments of two •In wand preference shareholders. Mr. Deputy CORNET thought the late board were per tonally an( nable for having borrowed money when they k new they could not pay the i nterest . (Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN thought there were no grounds for asamsaing that the old directors were sears at the time of raising capital that they were unable to pay the interest. Mr. MtitIICHAN, a director, wished to correct an inac curacy in the chairman's speech. The chairman stated that liabilities to the amount of 800,0001. had near been included m the report. The stun had, in fait, been included to the balance sheet._ . -- --- Alter some further discussion, the motion for the adoption of the report was agreed to. A resolution declaring the forfeiture of certain shares was then parsed The CHAIRMAN stated that the resolution suggested in ihe report on the subject of negotiation as to the guarantees had been altered. He would now propose itin the following form : " That the directon be empowered to negotiate and conclude with parties and companies having or claiming guarantees and preferential claims against the company for the modification or redaction thereof,' The resolution having been 'encoded, Mr. BALSTSR proposed as en amendment that three shareholders amok if the following interests should he in vited to meet the Motorises—the Wohaw and Colinas, the Glasgow and Garnkhrk, and the preference shareholders of .he Caledonian Railway, with the view of adjusting terms of modification as to the several guaranteed and preferential dividends. The CHAIRMAN had no objection to the embodiment of the amendment la the original motion. In reply to a quotient, The CHAIRMAN stated that the beard had aseertained the following to be the legal order of priority of the different guaranteed shares: The Garckirk, the Clydesdale, the Greenock, the Preference, the Wiahaw , and the Sorehead. After some dismission the motion was *greed to, with the addition of the words " and for this purpose to meet depil ation, duly authorised." On the motion of the directors, the number of directors was authorised to be Increased to 10. Mr. hates Gray was sleeted to till up the number. Oa the motion of Mr. Damen, 4001. was voted to defray the szpmees incurred by the Central Committee. Mr. MBIKLBRAII moved that Mr. U. W.

A SHAREHOLDER protested aphid Mr. Deane's mil iug for proxies after bavinpoppmed the use e f th. m by the old board. A cooverntlas of considerable length ensued on the with drawal of the name, of both the parties continent'. The vacancy, therefore, was not @applied. Mr. 11131KLBHA.hf then, in pursuance of retie moved that no systematics or predetermined work shoal t be per formed on the lime on Sunday. Having liberated sla rev in the West Indies it became them to take ears not to make slaves in this country. The minds of the men could not but suffer from Sunday labour. Scottish independence was at stake in this matter. Had it not been for English proxies there would not new he a rail way in Scotland open on a Sunday. [A Voice —" English menu," you mesa.] He complained of this beerrnotion as uttjuot to Scotland, where Sabbath observance was a national instillation. The courqnsnces of Sabbath desoont don were the prate disease an 4 the famine. Hr. M'IIICH IRO, a director, seconded the motino.

Mr. DEANE then proceeded to cal the alention of the meeting to a number of transfers of stock, which, es appeared Irom the bola, had taken phis between the mt inhere of the late board at d other parties immediately previous to the holding of ordinary meetings of the company., Amongst these was a transfer of 1,5001. stock from a person named Cameron to Mr. Johnston., the late chairman of the board, for the Bum of 6a.

The sinking fund bag been suspended for the re demption of the foreign debt, which it was proposed to continue.
