Its purifying and re freshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty th Queen, the Court, and the Roy al Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. The high reputation it bears induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer their spurious " KALTDORS." for sale, containing mineral as tringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their re pellent action, endangering health.

PRICE SD. 4Z7 ' V --- - ✓ ,z • , „.6 ~..: I. 11 - As secretary to the Great Western Company, althg q n h a shareholder i n th e Bi rmingham and Oxford, he hitherto carefully refrained _from taking part in th ese discussions, feeling that in his position it was better that he should not interfere. lie was not going into the question between the di ssent i ents of the Birmingh and Oxford Junction Company and the Great Western Company, but with regard to the overtures of peace he regretted that Mr. Motley had characterised them as delusive, and he hoped he should be able to show that they were made in good faith. With regard to the Great Western not sooner making overtures he might call to their recollection that e the end of la s t year and the beginning of the present negotiations were entered into bet Ween the Great Western and the London sad North-Western Companies, which led to no reilult. During the time the Bills were under the considerationl of Parliament, the Great Western directors felt that they could not enter into further negotiations, and. they were especially anxious to have an inquiry into all the cir cumstances. particularly as regarded the alteration in the proprietary which bad taken place in thil' Bir mingham and Oxford Junction Company since the 30th of October ; and they were advised that the 'best II tribunal was a Committee of the House of Lords, Where. the parties could be * , ..xamined on oath, which they could not be before the House of Commons.—(oh, oh.): The directors of the Great Western Company' had'-acted throughout without any desire of concealing anything, ttd l - ii i ,ea u ert t iado t te h ricio e s: y :700. i felt rftih poaaftrrih.): .aihatpernaclvrelltnlestethAheoeyfitielic,roiolu:tsididlswe, enßltroietirl.sUeßn:du.teeesrrrseeiitsnlhetedtojicidneodengnsbooiy:t I ( say that as Mr. .Mozley had frequently _talked of arrangements he was The Hon.

Mozley and Matthews' except that he Mated that Mr. Russell had been preps red, if he had been met in, the spirit he had expected, to go into other questions, and that it was not he (Mr. Saunders) that suggested that the directors should proceed as before pending the suit ; but Mr. Crossthwaite said he believed that the suggestion was made while Mr. Mozley was ab sent consulting the solicitor. Mr. MOZLEY said, that the diff'rence that had arisen showed how very soon circumstances of the kind could be forgotten ; but he could appeal to Messrs. Hornby and Beale, whether Mr. Saunders did not make the observa tion, and he could also appeal to Messrs. Carter and Dobie, that he had told them of it, when he first went out.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HORNBY, having been appealed to, was decidedly at....apiniciD, _Ufa_ the observatfoia - had 'wise from Mr. Saunders.—( /fea r .) .. , lii. . Mr. BE A L E r eco ll ecte d :Very what the directors were to be allowed to proceed, but could not recollect from whom the suggestion came, and be had himself told Mr. Muntz. the chairman, that if that proposition were assented to their property would be wasted during the inquiry. Mr. Muntz agreed with him, and proposed to stay the works, but his proposal was negatived. Mr. CARTER could bear his testimony that on Mr. Mozley first telling him of the proposal for a friendly suit he had asked the question, what was to be done in the mean time ? and that he at once said, why the directors are to go on as usual. Mr. SAUNDERS again declared, on his honour, the proposition had not come from him, but from Mr. Cross thwaite. Mr. HORNBY—But you seconded it.—(" Hear, hear," oh, oh," and hisses.) Mr. MOZLET would make a few observations in reply t., what bad been stated. He admitted, as the chairman had told them, that when the proposition was first made to them, ad captandum, it did appear fair, but he believed that he had arrived at years of discretion, and that on consideration he should have seen its real nature, as did the solicitors the moment it was suggested to them. With regard to having the solicitors at his elbow, chat he denied ' - but it did so h a pp en t h at M r. Swift being absent, he did want some advice, and Great George street not being far from Old Palace-yard, he went over to Mr. Carter's, not being able to find Mr. Dobie. Mr. Carter, it appeared, was out with Mr. Dobie and Mr. Beale, and on their coming in and hearing that he had been to the office, they came over to that house, And glad he was they did, as they at once saw the de lusive nature of the proposition. With regard to what Mr. Saunders had said about being able to be examined before a Committee of the House of Lords on oath, though they did not come there to talk of integrity or character, he might be allowed to say that the gentlemen whom it would have been necessary to examine, relative to the proceedings alluded to, were of as high character as any among the direction, and he should be ashamed , if the man who would not tell the truth equally as well without an oath as with it ; and though concealment, except under oath, might be a piece of Great Westein teorality, it was not of his or those who acted with him. —(Cheers.) With regard to the threat of a broad gauge line from Lancashire, he believed the wish was father to the thought; for, having exhausted their own pre serves, they were desirous of trespassing on those of the narrow gauge, which they could never succeed in doing until they had completely beaten the Oxford and Birmingham shareholders, who were deter mined to have their rights and construct the line on the narrow gauge, as provided by their Bill, the Great Western Company having a right of way over it.— (Hear.) Had their propositions, relative to the direc tion, been assented to, it was their resolve, no matter at what cost, not to allow another brick to be laid, or any ,they works of any description, until the question of the gality of the sale to the Great Western Company had been settled. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which he de- Jared carried ; Mr. Stevelis protesting. Mr. MozLEY then moved a resolution, recommending he shareholders not to pay the last call that had been 'lade, as the majority of the board of directors were ,nuking a use of the funds of the company not warranted rq. their Act of incorporation. He said. that it was un paralleled th:it 150,000/. had been calied for within so , hors a period, and scarcely a spade put in the ground. ,fe also complained th•it the line was being made on the road gauge, in contravention of the Act of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN was not aware that the line was being nude on the broad gauge. Mr. MARRIOTT asked whether it was a fact that the viaducts, bridges, &c., were being made for a broad .auge line ? The CHAIRMAN said, that the proper person to answer hat question was the engineer, and he was not present. (" Hear" and hisses.) The resolution was so clearly not within the purposes of the requisition that he must de to put it.—(Hisses.) Mr. MOZLEY must then put it himself. The CHAIRMAN must protest against such a pro 'needing. Mr. - Mozsacr then put the resolution, which was carried. The Hon. Proprietor then moved that the lirectors be instructed not to apply the funds of the •onspany in liquidation of the costs of the bill for tonal 4ating with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and thidley Company, and selling the line to the Great Western Company, which was not submitted to the 1 .hareholders of the company in compliance with the .tending orders, or for prosecuting petitions in Perlis went against the wishes of the shareholders. Mr. TURNER seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN must decline to put that resolution; firstly, because it was not in accordance with the requisi tilens;hattnredl; was sanctioned Mr. MOZLEY said, that bad the meeting of Decemberctioned by shareholders secondly,at December. vl' ,hareholders to t xpress an tpinion, the whole difficulty been adjourned, as he wished it, to allow the bond fide would probably have been avoided. On the first oppor :unity, in Marco, the directors were put in possession of he opinions of the shareholders in opposition to the Bill. Still they proceeded; but they did not lay the Bill before the shareholders according to the standing orders of the house of Lords, as they were bound to do, the House of Lords having declared that it was their Bill, although the directors had attempted to pass it by a aide wind as t Great Western Bill. If they had originally assented dos sof tl theeu it.—(Cheers company, i nu( h l cpye :ne. to the Bill, the directors Lad no right to assume the ,hareholders would not approve of it on standing orders, aid having withdrawn it on their own authority, they must abide the consequences. previous resolu tions,was put and carried in the same wa y as ' ' • authorising the The Chairman still refusing to put the resolution, it as were the next two resolutions, funds of the Company. ceedings of the directors from the ex _ resolution was in payment of the expenses of the opposition Mr. MOZLEY said, that the 1 n and therefore he pre !lion to the pro accordance with the requisition , had been withheld, that a common seal of the Comp . any . be made.

The usual weekly meeting of this board on Saturday last was attended by an average number of members, whose attention, however, appeared to be more engaged in sotto rote discussions upon the prospects of the im- pending electioneering contest than upon the transaction of the ordinary parish business. Mr. Stanford was called to the chair. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE COUNTY AND POLICE RATES. The f, bowing report was presented:— " At the committee sprinted to consider the increase of the rentals in the various parishes of the county, as set forth in the communication recently forwarded to the vestry by her Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county of Middlesex, and particularly to ascertain the effect of the proposed increase upon the rentals of the parish of St. Marylebone at the police and county-rates paid by this parish, as wel: as to test the accuracy of the basis upon which the mag.st rat r e . s' e c u a r lc te u i l s a s t , io:s r. h A av r e m b s e o e n n , Mr. founded. Present—Mr. G. Daniell, in the chair ; Mr. and Wilson, Nisb. et Mr. Josept, Mr. •i. Your committee report that, in the exercise of the • powers intrusted to them by the vestry , th ey h ave h ad interviews with the Police Commissioners aad with the Middlesex magistrates ; that the Commissioners of the , Metropolitan Police have informed your committee that they contemplate providing. for their exigencies alone, and not to levy the present eightpence poli ce rate on the mei eased rental ; and with reference to this intention your committee beg to state that they consider it as a prudent resolve, more particularly as the present am ount levied is the maximum rate, and which was assumed when the police measure passed into a law would be of rare occurrence, and it should be remembered that each new building when rated prov ides an additional so urce of income to the Police Comm issioners to the ex t ent o f eightpence in the pound on its rental. Then as regard s the county magistrates, they also state that the wants o f the county alone will regulate the am ount o f t h e county rates levied, and that the alteration made on the rentals was with a view to a more equalised assessment, and allowed that St. Marylebone had for a long period paid more than its comparatively fair share to the county rates, and that to prevent such a recur rence they intended proceeding to levy the county rates 0.. a more equitable adjustment, according to the following basis : —Th e i nc ome tax assessment is taken as an impcnant element, but not absolutely as their guide, the magistrates baying added thereto what they deemed as on.it'ed, but really belonging to the parish, such as railways where the whole length of the line is levied on its terminus, and deducting therefrom what they deemed not rateable to the poor, such as churches and chapels, hospitals, dispensaries, schools, and lite rary institutions, also deducting for empty houses, and filially deducting from such reduced amount of rental not less than 10 per cent. tor repaiis and insurance. Assuming the position that your conmaitte have no right to doubt, from the high standing of the various parties as public functionaries, that this statement will be car ried out in good faith, it is evide!.t to your committee that by the new rentals the parish of St. Marylebone will be a gainer to the extent ot 5 per cent. on the an nual outgoing for the police and county rates, for while Mar) lehone is assessed at 17f per cent. increase, the whole county is assessed at 22f per cent. average in crease, making a saving to this parish on the general assessment for police and county purposes of upwards of 1,500/. per annum. " The parish of St. James, Westminster, offers an illustrative example ot this vi ew i n an i nver se ratio, that parish having been formerly assessed on only 240,956/., but now on 427,8521., being an increase of 186,896 1 , or 77 per cent., involving an additional charge to that parish for police and cuunty purposes of 7,0001. per annum. Your committee have now ascertained the prin ciple on which the magistrates have acted, and in con clusion recommend that the accuracy of these calcula tions be tested, and that for such purpose application be made to her Majesty's C omm issioners of Land-tax for leave to inspect the i ncome•tax books, w hi c h i n spection will also be' necessary f or t h e purpose of assim ilating the rentals of the poor rate b oo k s, which are set f o rth by the magistrates i n their rec ent commun i cation s with this board, and the rental s assesse d to the poor-ra t e s and to the police and county rates ought unquest i ona bly to be toe same. il "G. DANIELL, Chairman." Mr. G. DANIELL, in rising to move the adoption of the report, observed that it .)as one of the most important matters that had come before the vestry for some time. In the last interview with the Middlesex magistrates those gentlemen had admit te d that ar ylebone bad lung been wronged by the system o f assessme nt. The parish would not alone effect a sav i ng b y t h e new a' "lige ment of 1,500/. a year, but wou ld b e paying, as it ou g ht, a fair share of the rates, instead o f, as had been the case in Si. George's, paying 30 per cent, less. The adoption of the report having been seconded was agree" to unani tn,.usly. The committee was re-appointed upon the motion of Mr. DANIELL. THE RETIREMENT OF MR. D. Wr. HARVEY. Mr. MlcitiE rose to ask a question of cons iderable im portance to the borough, of their representative Sir B. Hall. There was a report going about that Mr. Harvey had received a consideration for his withdrawal.—(Cries of " Oh, oh," and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said he could not allow any question which related to politics to be asked. Mr. MICHIE, however, persisted, and asked the Hon. Member whether he knew anything about any conside ration having been paid. He asked the question because the lion. Member was being libelled, and he thought the point ought to be cleared up.—(Contusion.) Sir B. HALL said he would answer the question if it was properly put. The CHAIRMAN said a question could only be put through the chair, and while he occupied that position he would not put any such question.—(Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL—I k now not hing whatever about it. The matter then d ro pped. No other busine ss o f public impo rtance was agitated, and the board s h or tly a ft e r broke up. -------- . ~... ARRIVAL OF 11/8.. O'CoNNELL S lUMAINS IN LON in t own l a st in on the DoN.—Th e rema i ns of Mr. O'Conn ell, a ccompanied by n i g ht by the tra two of his son s , the Rev. Dr. Miley, and a courier, South- Westernar rived Hallway, which left Southampton at six o'clock. It appears that the funeral cortege arrived at Havre from Paris on Thursday last, but , o win g to the ill-health of a um rrived in Mr. Daniel O'Connell, it was necessary . to make a halt Navi gation that town until Saturday, the coffin, in the mean time having been placed in the church of . Notre Dame. On Saturday night the party sailed with their melancholy p ou E th xy -W res ezte w rn hi S ch t e ch are, C o o n m b p x y d , Southampton on Sunday morning, after a voyage of little more than seven hours. We believe that the coffin is still conveyed In the it hearse, or fourge h , in which it left Genoa, and that it is intended to continua the route this morning, by the North-Western Railway, to Liver stshteeantnew-sh7 pool, there to embark the remains for Dublin. FMB NEAR B R YANSToN-SQUARE.'—OR Sat ur d ay morning, shortly bef o r e three o ' clock, an al arm i ng fire broke out on the premis es belonging to Mr. J. B. Hudson, coachmaker, situate at 36, Wyndham-street, Bryanston square. It was caused by the flue of an adjoining build ing, which set t h e roof and top floors i n a blaze , Engines of the London Brigade soon attend e d , and b. quickly setting them to work the . firemen go t the flamesextio, wished ; not, howe ver, until the upper portion of the premises was destroyed, and the contents severely damaged. The adjoming pi operty, in the tenure of Mr Blake, schoolmaster, was also severely . injured b y f i re : and water.

THE BATTLE OF THE GAUGES. (From the Observer.) On Saturday the adjourned special meeting of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway Company was held at Herbert's Hotel, Old Palace -yard, Mr. W. T. Matthews in the chair. Among the parties present we observed Mr. F. P. Barlow, director of the Great Western Corn. pan) ; Mr. Saunders, secretary of the Great Western Company; Mr. F. Rufford, Mr. E. I. Mozley, of Liver pool; Mr. Turner, of Liverpool; Mr. Carter, solicitor to the London and North-Western Company ; Mr. Jones, Mr. Cash, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Dobie, and various other gentlemen connected with the rival companies. The CHAIRMAN stated that it would be recollected that at the last meeting, which took place at Birming• ham on the 12th instant, a resolution of adjournment was carried, with a view of seeing whether any arrange ment could be come to far a settlement of the unfortunate differences existing in the company. H e regrette d t h at the negotiations that ensued had not led to any success ful result, and he would therefore call upon Mr. Mozley, who was in possession of the meeting at the time the adjournment took place, to proceed with the business. Mr. E. J. MOZLEY deeply regretted that, as had been hoped, no arrangement had been come to, and he must how proceed with the course which he and his friends intended to pursue, to show the public their true position, as they were determined to be played with no longer.--(Loud cheers.) He did not regret the negotiation that had taken place, as it showed that they were disposed to have come to an amicable arrangement, though be denied most emphatically the insinuations that had been published, that he, or those with whom he acted, had ever shown tiny intention of abdicating any principle; and he now stated that had his party been met in a proper spirit by the Great Wes tern party, there could be no doubt but that a satisfac tory conclusion would have been arrived at. He re gretted. that Mr. 'Russell, the chairman of the Great Western Company, was not present, as he never liked io speak of what had taken place with a gentlemaa when he was absent; but he felt bound to give a short state ment relative to the negotiations to the meeting. He, however, spoke in the presence of several gentlemen who were present at the inti rview that took place, and who could correct him if he was in error. It was not un til every effort, both straightforward and by side winds, had been tried, to carry out the agreement for the amal gamation of the company with the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Compan), and the sale of the line to the Great Western, had failed, that any offer of ar rangement was made. At a meeting of the Birmingham and Oxford Board, after the House of Lords had de cided that the Bill could not pass the standing orders without the consent of the shareholders being obtained, Mr. Russell originated a conversation by stating that he (Mr. Mosley) had often expressed a desire to come to some settlement, and that they (the Great Wes tern party) were now prepared to meet them. He readily snatched at the proffered olive branch, and. at the last meeting which took place at Birmingham, pro posed an adjournment, with a view, if possible, of com ing to an arrangement, which, while it secured the rights of the shareholder, should put an end to all the differences existing between the Great Western, the discontented shareholders of the Oxford and Birming ham, London and North Western, and other companies. After the meeting at Birmingham, he (Mr. Mozley) proposed that the whole matter should be left to the settlement of one individual of the highest character and station. That, however, was objected to, as it was stated that all interests must be represented ; thus there was the Great Western interest, the directors of the Ox ford and Birmingham interest, the Staffordshire interest, and others. He said if they were going to name 18 or 20 interests on the one side he could do the same on the other, and that with a body of 30 or-40 there could be no hopes of any settlement ever being come to, and it was at last agreed that the matter should be left to the decision of five persons on each side. Mr. Russell stated that any negotiations which took place must have for their object the acknowledgment of the purchase of the line by the Great Western Company. He (Mr. Mozley) said that any meeting would be useless, as that wa s th e po i nt on which they were at issue, and the dissentient shareholders could not assent to that pur chase being carried out.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Saunders said that such a condition would be ridiculous—Mr. Saunders, he saw, shook his head— • • Mr. SAIINDBRS did not say it would be ridiculous. Mr. MOZLEY did not mean to say that Mr. Saunders used that term, but he (Mr. Mozley) implied from his manner that he said it would be so, and he proposed that if five individuals met on.each side the subject of the purchase could be hung up for the moment, and they. could proceed with the discussion of the other points. That was assented to, and he (Mr. Mozley) undertook to communicate with the parties with whom he was connected. He did so, and the London and North-Western Company readily fell into the agree ment to leave all points of difference in their hands. That was the position in which they stood when he pro posed the adjournment of the meeting of proprietors at Birmingham, under the hope that something beneficial to all would be effected. At that meeting he had ex pressed a hope that no lawyers would be admitted to have anything to do with the arrangement; but it afterwards being considered that Mr. Saunders, the secretary of the Great Western Company, would pro hobly form one of the deputation on their part, and Mr. Swift being the only gentleman connected with the London and North-Western Company, who, from his knowledge of the affairs between the two companies, was competent to meet him, he (Mr. Mozley) waited on Mr. Matthews, their chairman, and asked whether there would be any objection, under the circumstances, to that gentleman forming one of the deputation? when it was replied that, there being a sincere de sire for peace, there would be no objection to him, and it was resolved to meet on the Tuesday. Mr. Swift, however, was compelled to leave town for Scotland on important business, and being fearful lest it should be supposed that they wished to cause any delay, they re solved to meet the deputation from the Great Western party without him. They accordingly met, the parties on one side being Mews. Saunders, Russell, Cross thwaite, Matthews, and Pratt; and on the other, Messrs. Hornby, Westhead, Beale, and himself (Mr. Mozley). The first two gentlemen had been selected as being con nected with the northern division of the London and North-Western Railway, and not having been at all mixed up in these disputes; Mr. Beale, as the repre seetative of the Midland Company, they all knowing the influence that he exercised at that board, and him self, from the prominent part i he had been unfortunately called upon to take in these proceedings. At the meet ing Mr. Russell asked if they had anything to propose, but he (Mr. Mozley) stated that the invitation to meet having come from him he ought to make the proposi tion. Mr. Russell then said that he was prepared to do so, sad proposed that the question of sale should be settled by a friendly suit. At first he (Mr. Mozley) and his friends were caught with the apparent fair ness of the offer, and they said they thought they would accept it, but that they should like to consult their solicitor relative to the suit. At that moment Mr. Saunders proposed that, pending the suit, the directors should proceed with the works as they were doing.— (Mr. Saunders here dissented.) Having retired to consult Mr. Dobie on the subject, he'was not to be found, and ho then tried to see Mr. Carter, but that gentleman could not be found either. He accordingly returned to ask for an adjournment, when it was announced that Messrs. Dobie and Carter were in an adjoining room, snd he and his friends entered to consult with them. On stating the case, they at once stated that the only parties to a friendly suit must be the Great Western directors, as against the directors of the Oxford and Birmingham, with whom they were acting, to compel them to carry out the agreement of sale; and that the decision might be delayed for twelve months, during which time they would be expending the shareholders' money to make a broad gauge line; so that if a decison was given against the puroh ase bill they would be in the position - of the Great Western party having obtained the oyster, while they (the shareholders) would have obtained the shell. Seeing clearly that they could not agree to Mr. Rus sell's proposition, they returned and stated so, but offered, in order to bring the question to an issue, to submit the question to a friendly suit, provided that the directors would consent to ballot out four of their body, as they (the shareholders) had contended they ought to have done before, and admit four others, when they would agree, pending the suit, to do nothing which should in any way prejudice the position of the broad gauge party with respect to the line, and to forego all actions for the past acts of the directors.—(Hear, hear.) That proposition was declined, and they were told they might proceed with their actions against the directors, it being known that those pending were useless, and be told them that others might be brought. It being clear that they never could agree to a suit being prosecuted without the works being stopped, he (Mr. Mozley) asked if the Great Western party hail anything else to propose, and it was replied, no; the only thing they would consent to was as he had stated. He replied, that in that ease it was useless to have held the meeting at all, as the busi ness could have been as equally well performed by a note of five lines from their solicitor. All efforts at arrange e by meat having failed th e y h a d now t o s how that they, the shareholders, had rights, as the House of Lordstheir resolution, and by th e decision of a committee ° Which G rea t W estern i n flu e nce had obtained,otain os: p hacl deciared they had, and take steps to them, session of their own property (Cheers.) With that view he would submit a resolution to and sure he was that sooner or later they would ob tain possession of it, as they were determined lion. Gen to leave DO stone unturned to effect their object. T he tleman concluded amid loud cheers , b y proposing a re solution to the effect that the me etin g do appoint Alex ander Dobie as their solicitor to take such proceedings in law or equity as might b e advised against Philip Henry Muntz, John Thomas Alston, Frederick Pratt Barlow, Richard Spooner, Francis Rufford, John Bran ston Frew, William Matthews, Charles and the Rightharles Russell, Charle s Shaw, Henry Simonds, Charles Stevens, Hon.

Mr. iMOZLEY wished to know whether the gentleman under whose advice the chairman was acting was a ,hareholder i n t h e company ?—(Hear, hear.)lie ob jected to any party interfering unless he was a share holder, and he must say that it was a most extraordinary proceeding for gentlemen to interfere if they were not shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said, that under the extraordinary po sition in which he was placed he felt bound to give the best advice he could, and without wishing to do any thing offensive to the meeting he could not put the reso lution in its present form. Mr. MOZLEY wished to know on whose advice that decision was come to.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Let strangers leave the room.") Mr. WHATELEY (the solicitor) said he would take the responsibility of the advice upon himself.—(Hear.) Mr. MOZLEY demanded to know whether Mr. Lake Russell, the barrister, under whose advice the chairman was acting, was a shareholdor.--(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Whateley, as solicitor of the company, was there to give advice as to their pro ceedings, and he had a right to assistance in considering questions. At the same time he (the Chairman) must state that Mr. Russell attended at his request, to advise him on the course he should pursue, and it they-com pelled that gentleman to retire, they would delay the be - einem, by - obliging' him (the Chafruttui)* - leavw the room to consult him on every question alit - might arise. Mr. MOZLEY could not resist that appeal of the Chair. man, although he must express his feelings that it was most extraordinary that a barrister should be brought there to give advice to the chairman, seeing the quantity of legal talent which, either as solicitors or directors, they already had arrayed against the shareholders.— (Cheers.) In reply to the first question of the chair man, he begged to say that the resolutions must stand upon their integrity, and he could not submit the °ther resolutions which he proposed to move to the meeting until the first was disposed of. Another consultation of some minutes took place, at the conclusion of which The CHAIRMAN stated that he could not consent to put the resolution in the form moved. He regretted it the more particularly as it raised th% question of the legality of th e sa l e o f t h e li ne to the Great Western Company, which the directors, who, he was sure Mr. Mozley would admit, were in their private relations of lire men of honour, character, and integrity, would be glad to afford every facility to to try.—(Hear.) They could not, however, consent to being restrained in the performance of what they considered their duty, but if Mr. Mozley would consent to leave out that portion of the resolution which stated that they should be re strained " until it was decided by the law whether or not they were directors, he would put it.—(Hear.) Mr. MOZLEY said, that were he to consent to the pro position of the Chairman it would be taking out the whole pith of the resolution, and he must insist upon it in its integrity. They did not say that the directors should be restrained, but it only proposed that the share holders shoull go to the Court of Chancery to endeavour to get them restrained from doing what he believed to be illegal acts. If these acts were illegal it was clear they ought to be restrained. If they were not, the Lord Chancellor would refuse to interfere, and they would be in no worse position in consequence of the resolution than they were at present.—(Cheers.) After some discussion as to whether the resolution came within the scope of the requisition, Mr. MOZLEY determined on putting it itself, the Chairman protesting against the proceedings. On the vote being taken, Mr. Mozley and Mr. Frew voted against the resolution, protesting against its le gality, and thirty or forty gentlemen voted for it. Mr. MOZLEY handed the lists to the secretary, and asked the number of shares the parties composing that in favour of the resolution held? Mr. KERSHAW said that the books were at Birming ham, and he, therefo re , cou ld not say . dr. MOZLEY then asked the number of prolies that stood in his name, the number of shares they repre sented, and whether they constituted a majority of the meeting with the gentlemen wifo voted. • Mr. KERSHAW said, that the number of proxies stand ing in Mr. Mozley's name was 34,271, representing 11,279 votes, and there could be no doubt of there being a majority of votes in favour of the resolution. Mr. IIIOZELEY declared the resolution curried, and moved that Mr. l)obie be appointed solicitor to the company, to bring such actions against the individuals mentioned in the foregoing resolutions as the share holders might be advised to take, to restrain the direc tors from entering into agreements or purchasing land, &c., that they were not authorised to do, and to compel them to reimburse such moneys as they had so misap plied. The chairman would see that he (Mr. Mozley) had accepted his challenge, and given them an opportu tunity of having the whole of the conduct of the direc tors brought before a court of law. Mr. TURNER seconded the resolution. After a short consideration of the resolution with his friends, The CHAIRMAN said, that if the word " alleged" was introduced before " misapplication of the funds," he would put the resolution. Perhaps that might be a con venient time for him to allude to the observations which Mr. Mozley made at the commencement of the proceed ihgs,relative to what took place at the interview between the deputation's. In the main facts of the me Mr. Mozley had undoubtedly given them a correct statement of what occurred; He perfectly agreed in the correct ness of what Mr. Mozley had stated relative to the part which was to be taken by Mr. Saunders and Mr. Swift. Mr. Swift, did not subsequently attend, but he might be allowed to say, considering that Mr. Mozley objected to solicitors in the first instance, that it appeared rather singular that he had two almost at his elbow. In the first instance it was understood that all discussion rela tive to the differences between the Great Western and the London and North-Western Companies should bs deferred until there was a settlement of the question of the legality of the sale of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction line to the Great Western Company, which, Mr. Russell proposed should be by a friendly suit, and that every facility should be given for an early adjudi cation. Mr. Mozley, in th e first instance, said he as sented to the proposition—(" Hear," from Mr. Mozley) —but said that, before he finally agreed to it he shoule like to consult the legal adviser of the London am , North-Western Company. Mr. MOZLEY—No. •My legal advertiser. You your self gave me permission to consult Mr. Carter. The CHAIRMAN continued—lt might be so, but he thought it had been as he had stated. However, on his return from the conference with the solicitors, Mr. Mozley stated that there were two questions to be con sidered—the legality of the sale of the line to the Great Western Company, and the proceedings of the share holders against the directors. Be proposed to agree to the suit for trying the validity of the sale, but not to per mit the directors to proceed with their business. Al though Mr. Russell and the chairman had offered every facility for trying the suit, he proposed that four of the directors should be balloted out to admit four from the London and North-Western Company.—(No, no.) Per haps it was going too far to c o nc l u d e t h at t h at proposal of Mr. Mozley was intended to reverse all their proceed ings, as he offered to do as little damage to their posi tion as possible. Mr. MOZLEY—And to forego all proceedings against the directors for past acts.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN—Quite right; it was as stated. It struck him (the Chairman) at once that that proposition involved such grave and insurmountable objections that it could not be agreed to.—(Hear, hear.) It struck Mr. Russell the same, but still stronger, as he at once saw that if they were to accede to it the directors would be admitting that they were in the wrong, and placing parties concerned i n an aw k war d p os iti o n. Another .. objection he h a d was , th a t th e li ne h a d been origina lly proposed by parti es now f orm i n g the northern halfer 01 i the London a n d N o ith-W es t e rn Company--the Y on the broad Junction Company as a competing gauge through the midland districts—and t of a competing line were throws_ highly possible that anothere hire on the first opportu would be projected from La t li es a to consider in this case— nity.
