The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, con- u,
gratulated the proprietors on the satisfactory mutts which at
had been achieved. They were indeed so satiefectory 10
that the ineetleg ought to be one of form, but se St
the Credit Fourier Mobilier Company had inaugurated 1,?
a new intim of Beaus, he felt it right to addrees them at "
some length. The chairman then proceeded to deal seriatim
with the different items of the account, and explained
their nature. The result had hew that the directors were itt
enabled to declare a dividend of 20 per cent. for the half to
-
year. The chairman then referred to the rumours and St.
reports which had been circulated to the detriment of the •
company, but this was only one of the penalties to which all S
new and snocemful systems were exposed. The chairman's 11
etstement was received with much satisfaction.
Mr. LITICK, the deputy chairman, seconded the motion. at

The CHAIRMAN said that it was advantageously and 01.
securely invested, thouvh not in the Three per Ceuta.

The Pitornixroa considered that it ought to be invested et
in the Three per Cents.. and proposed an amendment to to
that effect. which, however, well lest, the mover and the le

Mr. TATLOB criticised rather disparagingly several of the 10
items of the account, sod alluded to the rumours which had tis
o
been circulated against the company. to
The CHAIRMAN, in an impamioned reply, stated that Mr. la
Taylor was himself one of the persons who had airenlat-d
to
reports to the prejudice of the company, and hoped that Is
the next half-yearly meeting would be conspicuous by his ;
absence from it.
The motion was then agreed to.
A vote of thanks was peened on Mr. Grant, M.P., the IN
manegieg director.
Mr. Own returned thanks in a speech which elicited I
