been drunk in the most loyal manner,
CHAS. HOLLAND, Esq., the chairman, said that there
was but one feeling among the commissaries in regard to
the handsome testimonial by which the shareholders bad
chosen to manifest their sense of the way in which their
task hail been fulfilled. Ile was sure that he was only
speaking the sentiments of his brother comma mules when
he said that it was nut the pecuniary value of the testimo-
nial, but the spontaneous and unsolicited r. cognition of the
services of the CGINMIAPAIieII which the shareholders,
through their committee. had displayed, that was so grate-
ful to their &gimps. Ile felt it due to Isis brother commis-
saries to state that such had been the labours through wl.ich
they have had to pus, that, could they have had a fore-
taste at the lint meeting, five or Mx can ago, in Mr.
Haloes other, of the difficulties they hWI since cocoon.
tared, they would not have ventured to engage in them.
With the slight exception of two miles, they were now in
possession of all the land b.-tween Utroeht and Rotterdam ;
so that in every point the line might be mid to be in a state
of active progress, and results far exceeding the most ea-
• se espeetations of the shareholders aught be looked
for. It was gratifying also to find that those whe had been
obliged in some sort to coerce, in order to emabirse them
iuto one harmonious action, had, without exception, ap•
pended their names to the list of subscribers to the testi-
monial awarded on that ocessios. In conclusion he pro-
pond the Prosperity of the Dutch Rhenish Railway
Company," and he would venture to connect with it the
name of Mr. Lewin Mosley.
Mr. Lew Ix MooLer, in returning thanks, made an affect-
ing allusion to his deceased brother, to whose seal in the
affairs of the Pitch Rhenish Itaioway he attributed much
of the success of the comiany.
Mr. Bocell returned thank. for himself and brother com-
missaries, and is the course of his observations referred to
the praiseworthy conduct of the late Mr. Elias Mosley,
whom, with the other Englidi cenunieraries, he entirely ex-
culpated from aiding in the forfeiture of shares, which they
WA and every argument and exertion to prevent.
Mr. lisuaisnx, in a humourous speech, returned thanks,
and proposed the health of Mr Moe, of Liverpool, and
Mr. Jansen, of London, of both of whom he spoke in the
higher urns.
Several other toasts were given before the terminatioa of
the proceedings of the evening.
