After the despatch of our r report on Wednesday,
Mr. BRALEY (Lirerposil, tersely tot=e oonuneots of Messrs.
Filelea, Moreton, Ailarothwaite, and Roberta on the policy
of the oompany in their agreements with the South York-
shire and other oompaniea. said he regretted that the mea-
sures which were now fruitful of so touch mischief were not
=when they were initiated. But uofortuoately the
olden had adopted the proceedings of the board, had
I allowed acts of parliament to be passed, and had accepted
obligations which now they could not escape from. He
had opposed these measures throughout; but since they
bad been adopted the shareholders must wait a little to
ascertain what would be their ultimate effect. He objected
to Mr. Fildes's amendment, sad hoped he would not be
slaked to accept a paltry dividend of 3.. per amt. Nor
did be agree with Mr. Hanlon. If the law adviser of the
company said the agreement into which the directors had
unfortunately entered was legal, then the shareholders must
adopt the report.
The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Fildes's amendment would be so
detrimental to the interests of the shareholders, and was so
unlikely to beadopted, that it would be better at once to
withdraw it.

Mr. ADAMTHWAITC, the secionder of the amendment, said
he would not consent to its withdrawal
The CHAIRMAN said with respect to the South Yorkshire
matter, there was no dissentient to the proposition of the
directory when it was made two years and a half ago.
The mrreement bed been drawn up and the application
made to parliament upon the authority of the resolution of
the shareholders two year. end a half stem, There had
been no conceelmectof anything. The policy of obtaining
the transfer of the See wee superset, when they ooneplered
that while it remained es at present, two seta of officers
were needed. The Great Northern Company had twice
undertaken to join the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lie.
coleshire Company in lensing the South Yorkshire line,
but on each °imagine they had drawn out of the bargain.
He was not without hope, however, that they
would still have the concurrence of the Great Northern
is the application which would be made to parliament
next season. The directors had sever refused to give
any information es to the amount. of their lasses ; but
they did not wish to make se official record of them
which might have been used against themselves. The
oirectors were bound, in rrope.A to the South Yorkshire
Company, is honour and low ; and, if the shareholders
would help them to get the bill next seosion, they wool('
have no eases to regret the transaction. The amendments
were last by a considerable majority.
The report wee adopted ; and the dividends on the
preference stock were doctored.
Mr. FILMES moved that the directors should memorialise
the Chancellor of the Exchequer in favour of the reduction
of the stamp duty on proxies to one penny.
On the motion of Mr. HEALEY, this subject was poet-
Toned to the next half-yearly meeting.
A vote of MINIM to the chairmen brought to • clam
the proceedings, which had occupied shoat four hours end
a half, and the meeting broke up at half-past fire o'clock.
