ATLANTIC TELRONAPIy COMPANY.

(THIS DAT.)

This afternoon an extraordinary general meeting
of the shareholders in the Atlantic Telegraph Company was
held at the Loudon Tavern ; the Right Hon. Brus.ar
WORTLEY la the chair ; to receive the report of the directors
ea the contract far manufacturing and laying the cable, and
to authorise • farther issue of unguaranteed and debenture
aapitaL
The CHAIRMAN, after referring to the meeting of the 16th
Mat., which wu adjourned for • statement of the details of
the contract, said—gill!, that period the negoiatioes had
been completed, aid he had now testate the saboteur* of what
bad beim agreed upon, adding that he hoped that in eighteen
months they would meet to celebrate the establiebrnect of
a telegraph which would be immortal in its fame. The coo-
tract was with the house of Glues and Pilled, rho had
had the largest share in the thoosesfal laying of
deepeea cables, and had shown • disposition to treat
the company with Mimeo and liberality. The sum
to be charged for laying the cable wee, ash. had before inti-
mated, a large one. The cable selected by Messrs. Oboe and
Elliot was heavier than was expected ; but the expense
thee added was compensated by strength and all the qualities
required fors deep sea cable. The price tobe paid for the cable
stretching from Europe to America was 700.000/. The paid-
up capital amounted to only 316.000/., and the difference
was to be chiefly Node op to the contractors by their taking
old shares and debentures far the amount. Payment
was to be made as the ROT* proceeded, brag
checked by the rehires of the actual expenditure. The
directors coalideetly anticipated—and be believed the
general public who were well Wormed omenned in the
expectation—that if the cable should be seecdotally laid
they would thee be in a pudica to earn very large sad
almost unparalleled profits ; and ia that event •
boons would be given to the contractors of 137.0001., or
shout 20 per out of the capital, in old unguaranteed
share', such shares sot to be delivered as a transient suc-
cess, bat treat tune to time as the resell of the cable con-
tinuing in perfect working order. AA regarded the mode in
which the capita was to be supplied, he observed that in
the hot phiee it was proposed to increase the
316,0001. of oath by 50,00 W.. to be raised by the Moe of
8 per emit. guaranteed shares to that amount That would
raise the cash to above 350,00 W. In guaranteed shares the
oasepaay would pay Moue. Glom and Elliot 250,0001. and
100,000:. in debentures. Thus theprioeof the cable would be
medic op, and, a. b. Ware Mated, if the cable
should prove perfectly successful the coatmetoes would re-
ceive 137,0001. more in naguara nisei shares. Is. coeclusioa he
elated that the contract bad bees signed by the legal repre-
sentatives of both potion, sad now only awaited formal
caseation ; and expressed his entire coafidence in the suc-
cess of the undertaking.
A resolution auctioning the mistreat and the arrange-
ments mentioned by the chairman was paesedriumoimoualy
mod • vote of thanks to the chairman and Lis colleagues
terminated the proceedings.
