ORIENTAL INLAND STRAY COMPAEY.
(THIS DAY.)

This day an extraordinary general meeting of the
shareholders wit bold at the London Tavern ; Col. Oman
in the chair.

The object for which the meeting was called was to de-
termine upon the following questions :—The necessity of re-
moving John Bourne, FAN., the managing director, from his
office, pursuant to the power given to a general meeting of
shareholders by the 28th clause of the articles of amoMdion.
The expediency of removing John Bourne, Eeq., the ma-
naging director, from the office of an ordinary director ;
and, in the event of such removal being determined npoo,
the appointing another director in bis stead.
(It appeared during the course of the proceedings at the
meeting that charges of mismanagement and wasteful ex-
penditure ware made by the directors against Mr. Bourne,
while Mr. Bourne charged the director, with making out an
incorrect balance-sheet. The meeting had continued for
some boars, and was going on when we went to press. The
proceedings were obaracteriesd by a good deal of warmth on
both sides.)

elegiac. The extension of the Loom breach to Lon.
rayon, where it came in contact with the main line of
the Ardennes Company, bad just been opened, sod
would teed greatly to develops the toed tragic, ail well as
the cal tea believe, Belgium and France. A gum of
10, had been received in satisfaction of the
whole of the company's claims, being the result of the
arrangement' entered into with the parties to whom the
Grand Junction liner had been transferred. The works of
the Garth. line, for which shares to the amount of
