SOUTH BRA COMPANY.

Yesterday a general meeting of the court took
place at the South Sea Howe, ea special &Akin. Charles
ottanna, 1341., the Nab governor, took the chair.
The Guvisueolt said owe of the objects the directors had
in convening this special sweeties of the court was, to lay
before the proprietors a plan by which the company would
still be commuted beneficially for these who might be en-
gaged in it. • He believed that it had averred to many of
the proprietors, se well as Vi the directors, who had given
the au)ject groat eoneideration, that the Bluth Sea Com-
te baring its charter aad capital, might well establish
bodes • public body fur the elocution of trusts—the want
of which WIN generally felt by the community. Had such •
company a character of permanence and security, such as
might he given by their character, he had so doubt that the
business could be conducted in a profitable manner. The
only die culty would be the enormous labour whisk would
fall upon thine who had to conduct it. Seek a
time might be called a step in the way of )ins tea
form. As a chartered body, they had every Woes-
moot to commence each an undertaking; sad whallever
facilities were required to do it he hoped would be sanded
by the pverament in the amendment of their shonler.
(Hear, hear.) He knew that there were •great number of
the proprietors who were for windbag up their affairs and
dividing the amiss. (Hear, hear.) Now, the carrying cut
of the plan be proposed would not hinder those parties
from retiring and taking away their portion of the general
smite, leaving those to ociatisue in the company who so
approved. This seemed to him the most rational course for
them to pursue in we of difference of opinion as to that
measure which he th,ught would work most beneficially
for the whole body. 'rho directors had nothing in view
bet the general interest of the whole of the proe
they bad no particular istenst to serve in what they
advocated bat which might be equally enjoyed
.by the
other proprietors. (Hear, beau) Thisbeing their view,
they bad so shaved their proposition as to meet the object
of all parties. Therefore, without any further preliminary
?marks, he would at once move the resolution as to the
course the disesteem proposed to take, which would give
them the ty of arriving at • conclusion on so int-

EPSOM RACES.
THURSDAY.

The contrast in the ;;;;;;tee of the Downs today
aad that which they presented on Wednesday was most
'striking ; instead of the counties. multitudes of spectators
who d the broad plain when the Derby was ran, the
attendance was almost wholly confined to the amateurs and
business men, who mustered again in the enclosure. Of
ladies new were to be sten either in the Grand Stand or in
private carriages on the course. However, should the
glorious weather which has lasted up to the present time
continue, we may expect that a brilliant assemblage of
ladies will be pre-eht at the Oaks—a race peculiarly de-
voted to ■nd patronised by the lair sex.
The day was much warmer than on the previous day—
searcrly • breeze tempered the heat of the sun, which
shone with summer fervour until the termination of the
last race at five o'clock, when the seerated and dusty vita.
tors hastened from the course.

The sport was generally good, but with the single excep-
tion of Lord Derby's Dervish winning the Two•year-old
Stakes, and being backed immediately afteiwards at 20 to
I for the D. rby, '5l, there was nothing of importance in the
events to affect future interests.
