BRITISH AMERICAN LAND COMPANY.
A special general meeting of the shareholders was
held yesterday at the L'indon Tavern, to approve or other-
wise a bill now before parliament, intituled, A hill for
amending an act passed in the fourth year of his late Majesty
William LV , intitaled, 'an act for granting certain powsn to
the British American Laced Company,' and for granting fur-
ther powers to the said Company."
ALSXANDER GILLESPIE, Esq., presided, and in opening
the proceeding., stated that when the directors met the pro-
prietors in March last, at the annual meeting, they had not
anticipated a necessity for calling them together again so
soon. The causes which had led to that step had been es.
plained to the proprietors by a circular. He would, how-
ever, state that both previous to the meeting, and especially
afterwards, the attention of the directors wee particularly
directed to the position of the company's affairs, with a view
to the prospective working of the company; and it then
appeared to them that there were certain matters which
it was essential should be cleared up, in order to place the
company and the directors in a proper pasitien. They,
th retort, took the opinion of onunsel, and communicated
with the government on the subject; and the result was,
that they were recommended to amity to parliament for the
act in question. In their communication with the Colon'a'•
office, the directors had received the most prompt attention
and ready acquiescence in their views. It was the opinion
in that office that they (the company) were only now ob-
taining those powers which they should have had in the
bgrintiing ; and that the principle of paying interest out of the
capital of the company was erroneous and should never have
been in the charter. 'I he committee had also received great at-
tention from the bon. members who Introduced the bill into
the House of C 'Tarpons ; and as it was requisite that they
(the company) should do away with any doubt that might
exist with reference to the back interest, he could not con-
ceive that there could be any duff refute in opinion on that
point. The directors, then, considered that in going to par-
liament, toey should have some further powers, the nature
of which they would see when the bill was read ; and with
reference to which he would be happy to afford any further
iuformation. lie would further rate that all their anticipa-
tion as to the improved coudition of the company had been
fully borne out; and that they looked forward to the steady
end continuous progress. of its affairs.
The secretary then read the bill, the principal objects of
which were, that from the date of the 20ih of March, 1839,
any interest on any depneits or oath already or to be
alter paid by the shareholders,should not be payable or paid ;
and that any claims against the company on account of such
non-payment should not be recognised. That the company,
with the authority of three-fifths of the shareholders present,
either penonally or by proxy, at a court of proprietors
specially called per the purpose, iviould tie empowered from
time to time to increase or diminish the capital of the com-
pany. That the company should be empowered by the
same authority to declare dividends from time to time,
dais regard being observed to the debts and en-
gagetmeats of the company ; and provided also
that such dividend should not be paid out of the capital for
the time being of the company. That the company should
have authority to subscribe towards and become share-
holders in any undi rtaking for making, improving, main-
taining, or working any railway, cartel, road, bridge, mine,
or other public works in the several provinces end colonies
in North America mentioced in the charter, or their dein n-
dencies—the establishment or success whereef might appear
to the company likely to further its obj eta ; end also to make
any loans for that purptic ; and th it for the aid purples it
shoold be lawful for the directors to apply sash parts at the
assets of the company as m ght be required, provided That
. the amount did not exceed of the capital et the
company fur the time being.—The I ill having been reed.

said for his own part, that any proxies used under such cir.
cumstances were illegal, He objected to give the directory
p term such as were demanded in the present condition of
the company; for he conceived that if they entered kite the
formation of a canal, or railway, or other speculation, they
would go beyond their depth, and be compelled
to return to the sharehniders for money to carry out their
views. He concluded by stating that it was his intention to
oppee the bill in every stage through the committee of the
House of Commons; and that he only regretted that Mr.
Mestermen moved its sec .nd rea ing in hie absence, es other-
wise he wou:d certainly have t ppoe -d It upon that occasion,
He did not object to the other provis'oner of the bill, but
belies ed them to be a mere precext fur going to parliameut
for the additional powers.
Mr. BISCIInFT objected to this laver view of the matter
be Mg taken, declaring it to be tntally untrue.
Mr. treetrwist said hr wou:d iu that case withdme the
remark.
The CHAIUMAN begged to remind Mr. Baldwin that the
direceors did not seek for a v p teen theroakires by the bills
as all suet, powers were to be used at the discretion of the
propri. tore

with cousiderable eels oct eye, expressing, ho i ever, bin hope
that the directors would re consider that patine of it wlock

some qualification.
After a few os.rrasions from one of the director; in sup-
port of the till, and some iitjectin.-s from ollni r gentlemen,
Mr. BIACHOFF suggewed an add.tiou to the r solution, by
which he thought all part i• a would be satisfied. Thc emula-

Mr. Betowrre, hove. r, still thought. it unnecesory that
the constitution of the comp my droold he altered in any
degree; units sufBcieut reaseu were given for such 3
course.
' The CHAIIINIAN considered that Mr. Baldwin was right
in de mending a reeson fur obteining an extension of the
powers such as was emu ht; and he (the chairman) would
thin inform him that the dirt eters Lai taken tier.' in a

DUBLIN, MAT 16.
The state of the south does sot improve—the disor-
ganisation has rather resumed the more formidable
] shape of Whiteboyism, and open conflicts take place
between the armed peasantry and the police. An in-
stance of the dirk and dogged spirit of resistance,
which acts armed and iu the open day, occurred on
Thursday, at • place called Liskennett, about
sixteen miles from Limerick. A party of
polieeiwere on the patrol for some marauders, when
they suddenly encountered a band of eight armed
men. They were nine to eight. Both challenged to
stand and surrender, and neither complying, shots
re intercheuged at half range, when ono of the
Whitea wit+ shot dead, and a policeman seriously
'rounded After the first round they closed in, and a
fierce conflict, point to point, ensued. Vietot7, after
a doubtful struzgle, declared for the police. floe
surgents threw down their arms and fled, leaving two
prisoners and the dead peasant in the hands of the
police. In the same district, at Kilmallock, the " Irish
Palmyra,' the people are violently excited. They as-
sembled,anddre ye vp a rode of rations, ordering 2 lbs.
of meal for each destitute person. When the com-
mittee refused to satisfy the code, the work of outrage
commenced, which was checked by the arrival of the
police. At Brute in the same county, the Limerick
and (Tare Etron'ner of yesterday states that a report
had reached the city of a Mr. Rom, the district en-
gineer, having be n seized by the infuriated populace
and thrown over the bridge, whereby he was killed.
This requires confirmation.
In Connaught the alight effervescence has subsided,
though authority is still OR its guard. Provisionz are
too tempting to suffer them to be moved about with-
out adequate protection. Ale ry large convoy of 340
car loads, destined for the interior, left Galway on
Friday escorted by a squadron of Hussars and the
49th 14siment At Lough George, some cars having
detached themselves from the main escort, the pen-
sentry rushed in and plundered a dozen car-loads.
The poor-rate is absorbing the attention of all
classes, and the future fills every person with alana
whose fortunes will be affected by the out-door relief.
Great as the destitution is, it bu increased to an
enormous amount since the relief act came to its aid.
The lists are crowded, and there can be ne question
that multitudes are admitted, the produce of whose ]
tickets are available for purposes of a most 'grant
character, which, for the present, I must guppies..
In a population of 14.000, 12,000 are returned as
destitute—a downwright impossibility! But fraud is
at work. The calculation is, that unless Oe able-
bodied be drained off to independent employment, the
average rate for all Ireland will not be lees than 10s.
in the pound, or 30 per cent, of the valuation.
The "friends " are doing the work of charity si-
lently bat actively. They have, in addition to the
food and money, received large quantities of clothing
both from Enzland and America, amounting to seve-
ral bales, for both male and female poor. These will
be distributed on the Ist ‘,f v•entember.

TEN LATE RIOTS.—DEATH OP 0701 OP THE WOUKDED.
—On Friday, an inquest was commenced at Wolverhamp-
ton, on the body of an Irishman, named Doherty who died,
it is supposed, from injuries rebeived near Wdlenhall, on
Thursday lett. The principal witness examined was the
wife of the deceased, who deposed that her husband left
home on the morning of Thursday last in excellent health
and spirits. As he was
_proceeding along the road from be-
tween Willenhall and Wolverhampton, he was met and
attacked by a number of miners, and received severe
injuries at their handa. He returned home towards evening
and complained very much of pains in different parts of his
body, more particularly at the left side. He said he seemed
to hays a load at his heart. She believed his death was to
be attributed to the treatment he received. The inquest was
then adjourned, that &postmortem examination of the body
might be mode. A great number of Irishmen have been
compelled to cease working in the district. The miners seem
determined not to allow them to work. The iron and coal
trade throughout Staffordshire it still very good. The men
are all well employed, and at good wire. The trade of the
Potteries halo not been so bad during the last twenty years as
at present.

Co., hat.msnufacturtn, Castle-green, Bristol, was driving
in hi. gig from the former to the latter town, when he we,
attacked by three men, who made a rush from the side of
the road, and seized the heed of his horse. As won es they
had stopped the progress of the vehicle, two of them went
to the side of the gig, demanded his money, and almost
immediately commenced an attack up,n him. He
resisted so far so he could, but was soon overcome, and
dragged out of the gig, and thrown down In the road. One
if the fellows then knelt upon his chest, while another rifled
his pockets, robbing him of his watch and appendages, and
about 2001. in cash and notes. After threatening him with
death Übe attempted to pursue them, they made off. It was
very dark at the time, and the unfortunate gentleman is
doubthil whether he should be able to recognise the counte-
nance@ of his amailants.
