(THIS DAY.)

The adjourned meeting from the 2nd of April
was held this afternoon at the London Tavern ; Mr. E. W.
Warms presiding.
There being no ordinary Moisten the meeting was at once
made special, and
The CHAIRMAN moved " That in the place and to the as-
lant of the amouote represented by preferential and
ordinary bonds held by creditors of the com-
pany as collateral security, and which have
been or may be given up, or which are now
in the hands of the company unissued, there be now
created, and that the directors be empowered if, and as
they see fit, to Moue second, third, and fourth preference
stock, according to the respective classes and denominations
of each hoods ; and as respects the second preferential
bonds the directors may re-issue the same, or any part
of them as bonds of the same quality and denomination ;
and the dinettes may also sell and dispose of any
bonds of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad Company
held and given up, or to be given up as aforesaid ; and the
proceeds of all such stock or bonds, as the eon may be,
shall be applicable as capital to the general porpoise of the
nedertakieg."
The resolution was seconded by Mr. BARINO, and unani-
mously adopted.
The cordial acknowledgments of the board and the
shareholders were tendered by resolution to Mears. Baring
Brothers, Messrs. Glye, Mills, and Co, and Mr. Kirkman
1). Hodgson and other English secured creditors for their
liberality in giving up to the company securities of • nominal
value of upwards tot 500,0601., which they might have
sold for their own benefit prior to the arrange-
rnenta act,' but which were now available to meet the
further outlay on capital account, thereby relieving the
net revenue from undue pressure, and materially assist-
ing the restoration of the credit and stability of the whole
undertaking.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors closed the
proceedings.

The Rev. Mr. Fitzhugh has presented a number
of beautiful casts of antique statuary which were executed
at Rome, to the Hartley institute at Southampton, to adorn
the vestibule at that buildiag. Mr. Mason, of Yateley, to
Hants, has presented to the museum of the institute ape-
clowns of Hampshire silk and flax culture in all its stage.,
to show the capacity of that county for profitably cultivating
those productions. Alderman Palk has presented the hand
of an Egyptian mummy : some portion of the care-cloth is
robbed off, and reveals long tapering fingers, which prove
them to have belonged to a full-grown female of high rank
or wealth ; the nails on the fingers are narrower than those
of western nations. _ .

TEE &Meier Casa.—Judgment was delivered by
the Lord Chancellor of Ireland in the Egmont case on Mos-
day. The particulars of the case, briefly stated, are as fol-
lows. The last Earl of Famont bequeathed all his WWII*
In Inland to his Irish agent, Sir Edward Tierney. The
present awl, as succeeding to the rights of heir-at.law,
deputed the will, on the ground that Tierney bad
kept the testator in ignorance of the value of the
property he wits bequeathing, and produced the affidavits of
several witnesses to that effect. The heirs of Sir Edward
Tierney, who are now in possenion of the estates, opposed
the application. The Lord Chancellor, however, granted the
prayer of Lord Egmont, and directed the question to be tried
at commie law at the next Cork theism.

invitatioa, and occupied a platform plaited between the two
