BETTS of a most valuable discovery in the mode of ma nufacturing this article, whereby in exquisite delicacy of flavour, in entire freedom from impurities, and in every other quality attractive to the connoisseur or general consumer, it is brought to a state of per. fection, such as they confidently assert it never can attain under the superintendence of any other manufacturers is the world. This dis covery being the subject of a grant of Letters Patent, Messrs.

The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the seal of the company was placed to the register of proprietors, and at the request of the CHAIRMAN, Mr. WHATELY (the solicitor) read the following report :—" Your directors have the satisfaction of re porting that the sanction of Parliament, for confirm ing the agreement for the sale of this railway to the Great Western Railway Company has been obtained. Whilst by this measure the interest of the share holders has been secured, the directors are convinced that the convenience and advantage of the public have been greatly promoted. The arrangements for ob taining possession of the land and property required for the railway have been carried on with all the celerity practicable; but they have been greatly re tarded by difficulties incidental to dealing with pro perty in a populous district, and necessarily, therefore, of a complicated character. The contracts for the whole of the line have been let, but the directors have considered it most prudent to postpone pro ceeding with some of them until the land can be secured on reasonable terms, an object which any undue precipitation would defeat. The engineer's report will explain the progress which is being made upon that portion of the line on which the contractors are at work. The line from Stour bridge to West Bromwich, sought to be obtained by this company in the last .session of Parliament, was lost in the House of Commons; but the opposing Stour Valley line, promoted by the London and North-Western Railway Company,was also rejected by the House of Lords. The Bill for the asiialgatffiir tion of this company with the Birmingham and Ox ford Railway Company was defeated by the organized opposition of parties in the interest of the London and North-Western Railway Company. Power has been obtained to form an additional station in Consti tution-hill, Birmingham. To render the line in all respects efficient for the convenience and accommoda tion of the public, the power to lay down the broad in addition to the narrow gauge appears to be essen tial, and the necessity of this is so apparent and im perative that its eventual attainment may be calcu lated on with the most entire confidence. The au ditors have examined the accounts, which are made up to the 30th of June, and by the annexed state ment a balance of 46,6181. 16s. 10d. is shown to the credit of the company. The engineer's report states that the progress of the works has not been great during the last six months, owing to the difficulty of obtaining land on the portions of the line where the heaviest works are situated. When the final arrangements with land ewners are completed, the contractors are in a posi tion to finish the work rapidly, as they have a great quantity of bricks and other materials upon the ground. From the statement of accounts it appears that the receipts have been 208,828/. 135., and the expendi ture 162,2101. 25., leaving a balance in hand of 46,6181. 164. The CHAIRMAN said the shareholders had heard the report read, and he believed that it was necessary and usual that in moving its adoption the chairman should make a few observations relative to the posi tion of the company, and he was happy to think that those observations need not be of any length, as, from the few shareholders who attended, it was clear that it was not deemed necessary to watch them very closely—(Hear, hear)—for in another company-inti mately connected with that, where it was dmed necessary by certain parties to watch every mote ment the directors made, they could always calculate upon .a more numerous attendance.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) He was happy to say. that there was no railway in course of construction whose affairs were in a more satisfactory state than those of that company, but there were one or two points on which he would like to make a few observations. The share holders were aware that the Great Western Company had entered into an arrangement for the purchase of both that and the Birmingham and Oxford line; and he need not say how gratified he should have been if thar, arrangement had been carried out in its integrity.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Cir cumstances had, however arisen, by which another company had succeeded in deferring for a time the carrying out that agreement.—(Hear, hear.) He said deferred, because he could not believe that the proceedings which had been taken would ultimately amount to a defeat; and he therefore considered that —it - yaw - only-cleferring for a time _the benefits -ea—i petted by, and which he had no lit;i2bi would accrue, both to the public and the shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) But be might observe, and he wished to be particularly marked by the shareholders, having had numerous inquiries on the subject, that the agree ment of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Company with the Great Western, was en tirely distinct from and irrespective of that with the Birmingham and Oxford Company, and that agree ment had been confirmed by two Acts of Parliament, the one obtained by that company, and the other by the Great Western Company—(Hear, hear)—and therefore, irrespective of the other company, the agreement between the Great Western and the Bir mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Company would be carried out intact.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it necessary to make that explanation, in consequence of having received various letters on the subject. (The Hon. Gentleman here read the clause of the two Acts in confirmation of his state ment.) By their agreement with the Great Western Company they were to receive 101. 15s. per share from them on the completion of their line, and in order that there might be no doubt upon the subject, he was authorised to say that the Great Western Com pany would be prepared to issue coupons for the 301. as., being the 201. paid in and the 101. ss. from five per cent. being allowed upon the sales made. and four per cent. upon the portion paid in advance, such portion coming into the receipt of the five per cent. as it was called up— (Hear, hear)—and the coupons being payable upon the completion of the line. In respect to the quarrel relative to the lines in that district, it appeared that the London and North-Western party conceived that the question in dispute was only with the Great Western, but that was not the case. That line was originally promoted by the manufacturing interests of the midland dis tricts, and not by the Great Western Company. It was not until after great solicitation—the trouble of which nobody knew better than he (the Chairman) did, having formed one of a committee for establish ing the company—that the Great Western Company consented to have anything to do with them, and it was then only upon; the principle of keeping out a third party—(Hear, hear)—for they might depend upon it that nothing was more fallacious than to suppose that if the Great Western Company were de feated, in or were to recede from proceeding with that line, that the public would be satisfied. And he could assure Mr. Glyn and the London and North-Western Company, that were they to succeed in defeat ing—which he did not believe they ultimately would —the lease of that line to the Great Western Com pany, they would be only laying the foundation of greater ininry to themselves—(Hear, hear)—for it was quite clear that while the requirements of the public and the opinions of the Legislature were in favour of fair and reasonable competition, they could not prevent a third party entering the field ; and much as they had spent in protecting what they con sidered to be their interests, it would be but trifling in comparison to what they would be required to. ex pend, to prevent the public and the inhabitants of the district asserting their wants, and raising another and more powerful party than the Great Western Company. For this he could assure them—that the manufacturing interests were resolved to have a com peting line, not only to Liverpool, but from the whole district, north and south, for Southampton as well as for Liverpool, Scotland, and Ireland. Should not competing lines be on different gauges, it would be the better, for he believed that there would never be a competition that the public would be satisfied with unless it were so ; and he believed that if a settle ment was not come to, that ultimately even Mr. Glyn would be compelled to acknowledge that the real in terests of his company had not been served by the op position to the Oxford and Birmingham line. In conclusion, he begged to move that the report as read, together with the statement of accounts, be re ceived, adopted, and printed for circulation among the proprietors.—(Hear, hear.) Those who were in favour of the motion would hold up their hands. About twenty hands being held up, The CHAIRMAN put the contrary, and declared the resolution unanimously carried. The Earl of DARTMOUTH said that he was sure they could not separate without giving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which he begged to propose. Lord HATHERTOZi begged to second the motion, and to express his opinion that the midland and ma nufacturing districts would never be satisfied until B !'air and liberal competition was established. The Railway Commissioners had addressed a series of questions to the London and North-Western, a l io rther companies in the district, to elicit their opi nions upon the question of a mixture of the gauges, and that similar questions were to be addressed to the Great Western Company; but he was anZiOUS to declare his conviction that the inhabitants of those districts would never be satisfied with any deeison of the Railway Commissioners on the subject, or of any authority other than that to which they were used, and by which they were legally bound—a Select Committee of the Houses of Parliament.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN begged to express his acknow ledgments for the compliment, which he said was much heightened by the fact that it was moved and seconded by two gentlemen distinguished for their influence in the district and their business habits. The meeting then separated. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION. The usual ordinary half-yearly meeting took place in Dee's Assembly Room, Birmingham, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. W. Matthews pre sided upon the occasion ; and amongst others present were Lord Hatherton, Mr. Spooner, M. P., Mr. Mozley, Mr. Saunders (Great Western), Mr. Cross field, Mr. William Hall, Mr. C. Robinson Kettle, and other influential shareholders of the Great Western, the London and North-Western, and the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railways. Before the commencement of the proceedings, Mr. MozLEY inquired of the Chairman whether he considered the meeting duly constituted ? The CHAIRMAN—I conceive so ; and our first duty is now to attach the seal of the company to the list of shareholders. _ _ . Mr. ➢IozLSY objected to the seal being attached. The opinion of the meeting upon that point ought first to be taken. The CHAIRMAN said, acting under legal advice, he believed he had the power to direct that the seal of the company should be affixed to the list. Mr. MozLEr—Previous to the Chairman doing so it was his duty to put a distinct resolution upon the subject to the meeting. The CHAIRMAN—I certainly think I must do so. Mr. MOZLEY—Not without an order of the meet ing. If the Chairman could do it upon his accord there was no necessity for calling the meeting. He asked the Chairman at the commencement of the proceedings whether the meeting was properly con stituted, and yet without consulting their opinion the Chairman now proceeded to attach the seal of the company without first asking for their authority. Mr. WHATELY, the solicitor to the company, said the Chairman was acting in conformity with theft . Act of Parliament. Mr. MozLEY did not deny the words of the Act of Parliament, but the proceeding was not in compliance with proceedings at similar meetings. Before, there , fore, the Chairman attached the seal, he begged leave to move the following resolution :—" That the seal now produced not being the seal of the company, the same be not affixed to the register of the shareholders; and that such seal having been ordered at the special general meeting of the company, on the 24th of July last, to be no further used,:the Chairman and directors he, and they are hereby ordered, now to deliver the same into the custody of Mr. Elias Joseph Alozley, one of the directors of this company." The motion being seconded, The CHAIRMAN begged leave to explain the cours ,, he should feel it to be his duty to adopt. lie helievro they were aware that a suit was now pending— bill'having been filed on Friday—which would Mil g all their differences before a court of equity, and the validity and legality of their agreement for sale to the Great Western brought to a quick adjustment. Therefore he felt bound to affix the seal of the com pany to the register. Mr. MOZLEY contended that the non-affixing of the seal would best effect the legal proceedings now pending. The CHAIRMAN said he was extremely desirous to meet the views of the honourable proprietor, but at the same time he had no wish to adopt a false step. He felt that he was placed in a responsible situation, and he deemed it, therefore, right in all matters of difficulty, to be guided by competent legal advice. Under such advice he felt bound to decide that he could not put Mr. Muzley's resolution. Mr. MOZLEY—Then I will put it myself. The CHAIRMAN—Under my firm protest. Mr. MOZLEY—Of course that we cannot help. Mr. (to the Chairman)— Go on with busi ness. Mr. MOZLEY then put his resolution, against which few, if any hands were held up. Mr. MOZLEY—I have now to state that the motion is carried, and have to demand that the seal be deli vered up to me. The CHAIRMAN—Then I beg leave to decline to do so. Mr. WHATELT then proceeded to read the report and statement of accounts as follows :- 41 -Eanae- she TOport stibeattea , to , the meeting of shareholders by the directors on the 27th of February last, their proceedings have been in some degree em barrassed by the differences which have arisen be tween the directors and a portion of the shareholders. In consequence of those differences the directors re spectfully refrain from any remark on the Parlia mentary proceedings of the past session, or on those of a legal character in which the company is now involved, and which have been of late so frequently under discussion. Under these circumstances they confine themselves, on the present occasion, simply to the statement of the accounts, which have been ex amined and approved by the auditors." The balance sheet showed the receipts to have been 440,0081. 19s. 3d., and the expenditure 398,5191., leaving a balance of 41,4891. 16s. ; but it appeared in the investigation caused by Mr. Mozley and his friends, as alluded to in the proceedings, that the amount actually paid for land during the above pe riod was 303,7671. Bs. ld., and the amount actually paid for law charges was 30,9001. 3s. 10d. ; these dis crepancies appeared to have arisen on misstatement in the previous balance-sheet. The CHAIRMAN said thit he believed it was the duty of a chairman, in moving the adoption of a re port, to make a few observations as to the situation of the company. He should have been, under ordinary circumstances, most happy to do so; but seeing that legal proceedings had been taken, which must shortly be brought to a conclusion, he should, as far as pos sible, follow the example which the directors had set in the report, of abstaining from debatable matter, and would simply move that the report be received. Mr. SPOONER, M.P., seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN was about to put the motion, when Mr. MOZLEY said that he hoped the Chairman would not proceed so fast as to preclude him making any observations. The CHAIRMAN could assure the Hon. Proprietor that he had no wish to do so; but he did not think there would have been any obection to that tnotidn. Mr. MOZLEY wished to know whether the adop tion of the report was meant to include the accounts ? The CHAIRMAN said that the motion was only for the reception of the report, the adoption he would put hereafter. He considered the resolution would include the accounts. Mr. MOZLET wished to know how much the line was likely to exceed the estimate. The CHAIRMAN said that was a question he could not answer, as the engineer was not present. Mr. MOZLEY then asked whether the estimates were likely to be exceeded. The CHAIRMAN having given a similar reply to his previous one, Mr. MozLEY said that the engineer was the servant of the company, and ought to have been present to have given any explanation asked by the shareholders. He thought it most extraordinary that the Chairman, who had been connected with the line from the com mencement, was not prepared to say what the works were likely to come to. thiTekheanCrolnßeMwAaNs competentsaid that to an at p s r ewserntth that te question. did no t com pany should s fixed a bere recollected tedtotand by h the cap i tal e e of t h e engagementcom to sell the linent stop to inquiretotheGreatN Western thewstehrener it was Company—which good he would e or bad—any excess beyond the 1,000,0001. was to be paid by the Great Western Company, and the share holders could not be rendered liable beyond the capi tal. He did not, however, think that more would be expended than the 1,000,000/., and what they were entitled to borrow. Mr. MOZLEY said that the observations were founded on the assumption that the agreement with the Great Western Company was good, but it might so happen that the law might declare were declare piatidbald,,2oaonld.pheer thought that the directors, annum by the company, ought to be prepared to have given an answer to the question he had put.

He called on the Chairman to answer that question. They were only authorized to make a line from Fenny Compton to Birmingham, and he therefor-. asked th , . Chairman whether they had purchased land beyond those limits? because, if so, he apprehended it was v. violation of the Act of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN thought it hest to ‘tate that, as bill had been filed in Chancery to which he must give an answer next week, be must decline altogether an sweriag (wagons relatire to the amounts on that Lordon : John W.

Mr. MoZLEY stated that there was no truth in the assertion that had been made relative to the Lreidon and North-Western Company having anytt-ing to do with the proceedings of the pr.tprietors. He was not prepared to pass the accounts, as 9,0101 had been expended in the purchase of land at Leamington, which was not required for the purposes of the Act of Parliament. ihat item ought. to have come in the accounts of the last half year, yet he found 'hat there was no such item, but it Vt as included in law and Parliamentary ex.enses ; yet, ilthoun4h the accounts were audited, it c uld be proved that land at It..tertteir terrace had been paid for by two special cheques of 7,000/. and 2,0101., while it was staled that nu 14nd was paid for. lie, therefore, repeated his gliestion relative to the purchase of land.

The CHAIRM said, in carrying the resolution in question that the directors were only consulting the public accommodation in amply providing for expected traffic. Mr. MOZLEY said that he had recently discovered that the resolution referred to was not for the purpose or laying down four lint-sof raits on the marrow gauge, but two on the broad, and the Chairman of the Great Western Company had told them that the contracts were entered into to make the line on that gauge, whlch he (Mr. Mozley) contended was contrary to the Act of Parliament. lie regretted that the Chairman of the Great Western Company was not present, as he wi,,hed to make one or two observations on what that gentleman had said relative to the meeting for endea vouring to bring about an arrangement between tl.e companies. Mr. Russell had endeavoured to fix him (Mr. Mozley) with having stated that the question on which they separated was the " only" one to be considered. Now he would leave the public to judge whether that was likely, when he IPA repeatedly stated that it would be useless to hold the meeting unle,s it was for the general pur pose of considering all difference, between them—and tie had repeatedly put the question whether bo other question could be gone into. There was one remaik Alr. Russell's, Which, in justice to his It-gal friends, he could not let pass. That gentlemen had endea voured to throw the onus of the negotiations being broken off upon those gentlemen ; but, so tar from that being the fact, they were very desirous of not being mixed up in the question at all, and were not to be found for some time by him (Mr. Mozley), and hey were about to adjourn when they cone in.

Not considerin„: the accounts satisfietory, he thought it necessary to have an adjournment of tha tittering, that they might be examined by a meeting f the committee. He therefore begged to move—" That the report now presented be not rtdopted, and that the statement of accounts accompany iog the same being wholly unsatisfactory to this ineevng, be not received, it appearing that large amounts of the funds of the company included in that account have been paid away by the directors fir purposes not justified by the Act of incorporation, and contrary to the direction of the shareholders. That such statement of accounts be referr, d, for exa mination to a committee of shareYealders, consisting of Messrs. Samuel Beale, Abel Peyton, George Turner, and IVilliam Robinson Kettle, and that such com mittee be requested to examine the same, and report thereon, to an adjournment of this meeting, and that the directors do produce to such committee, or to any one of them, from time to time, all the books and papers of the company in their possession relating to the matter of such account, and that this meeting be now adjourned to Friday, the 15th day of October, at Dee's lioyal Hotel, in Birmingham, at three o'clock in the afternoon: Mr. GEORGE TURNER seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN suggested that a portion of the resolutian_which declared that large portio funds had been paid away for purposes notj the Act of Parliament, should be omitted. Mr. Mozi.F.v, though he regretted that any portion of the resolution should be distasteful to the directors, felt bound to persevere in it as he proposed it. On the question being put the amendment was de clared carried, the day _of adjournment being, at the suggestion of Lord Hatherton, altered to the 22d, and the report was accordingly negatived. ADJOURNED SPECIAL MEETING. The adjourned meeting was then proceeded with. Mr. DODIE read a long legal document relative to the steps taken to carry out the resolutions of the 24th of July, for going before the Court of Chan cery, and stated that the case would have come on on Wednesday next, but to suit the convenience of the other side an application was made to the Vice- Chance;lor to defer it till next week. Mr. Mozi.et moved the adoption of Mr. Dobie's report, and the further adjournment of the special meeting. He regretted that such a course was ne cessary, but in consequence of the legal proceedings, it might be necessary that they should again meet to consult upon the further steps to be taken. The CHAIRMAN having dec'ined to put any motion relative to Mr. Dobie's report, the resolution of Ju'y not being recognised by the dii ectors, MozLer divided his motion into two, and put the resolution himself:—"That the report of Mr. Dobie as to the filing of a bill in Chancery in the name of this company, and the proceedings then on be, and they are hereby approved and confirmed." Having declared the resolutiin carried, Mr. Mozm proposed—" That this meeting be further adjourned to Friday, the 17th day of Sep tember, at Dee's Royal lintel,Biriuingtit three o'clock in the afternoon, when he further c..iisi lera don of all or any tnatters referred to in the regula tion under which this meeting has been called, will be resumed if necessary." Mr. TURNER seconded the resolution, which, after a short conversation, in which Mr. Stevens and others objected to the wijourninent on the ground that the purposes of the requisition were already ex , hausted, was carried, anti the meeting separated. COVENTRY AND NUNEATON• A meeting of the directors and shareholders of this line was appointed to be held at Der's Royal Hotel, Birmingham, yesterday ; but in consequence of non attendance no business was transacted. At the last half-yearly meeting a quorum did not muster, and the same result followed. The business of the company is consequently managed by the old board, W i t h out the usual supervision of the shareholders. r PORTBURY PIER AND RAILWAY .
