Mr. D. M. D. HILL add that boars the mad Wal rat
he wished to say a few words respeedag cue oldie directors
who was gain out. He spoke a Sir J. lesthope,—
(heir, hear)—erho had boss not only one of de directors but
likewise chairman of the board. He begged to propose
a resolution to the following effect : " That this meeting
cannot omit, on the retirement of Sir J. leethop• from the
direction, to record theirgesterelsainetehdinest of the zeal

With regard to the law expenses, he was rare they would
admit that during the rivalry whisk existed before parlia-
mentary committees, it was imyossibie be them to co
could wrol
them. They only an the principle of the code-
eery remuneration. Bet now he was happy to inform them that
Mr. Beau' met the directors in a fair spirit. They had,
therefonouvanged, excluding parliamentary busines. that he
auld be paid by a fixed salary, to commence from the let
elf January last. (Hear, hear.) Then gams the sceneries
eat, which had been a source of heavy expenditure.
trif:,2lhear.) It was known to them all that lk. Locke
had been beg associated with the company as engineer in
chief. He made 216 miles of their line, and his character
and position was a guarantee that the work was elllziently
dope. They considered, however, that the ordinary @VS
would be malice for the supervision of the line under the
direction of Mr. Martin. But in the event of anything re-
, strin_gthe master mind of Mr. Locke, in case of any devil"-
li
accident, or other unforonen occurrence, they
Mavail themselves of the judgment of Mr. Lake on the
I same fair and satisfactory principle which he had httherto
been engaged. Mr. Martin, who would have the care of the
line in the atones of Mr. Locke, had left it to Mr.
Luke to say what his remuneration ought to be.
They had entered into an arrangement with the 1
lclttahr:s and South Coast Company with regard to the
branch. They were left in an awkware position by
the law respecting this matter, but they had a.. length par-
chment the joint use of the line for 60,0001. He was assured
they could not make an independent line tsr lase than
100,0001., and then they would have to keep up a rivalry
which would be ezpen.ive and prove in the end to be a mo-
nument of folly and cupidity on the partofthe two accareess.
He had also to notice the promotion of the lies into Wind-
sor. He was glad the Great Western Company bad at
length thought fit to withdraw from the line to Windsor,
and he was glad to tell them that the Great Western Com-
pany said they 611 so to show that they were desirous of
going forward with them in a neighbourly end friendly
spirit. (Hsu, hear.) The necessary decussate cm this
subject were signed and sealed by this oupw.q, the Wird-
nor Company, and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests,
and the engineer would lose no time in cing the line
into the town of Windsor. He had inted to make
allusion to the retirement of Sir J. Basthope, but the
hon. gentleman (Mr. Hill) had so adroitly
antici-
pated him, and said what was so appropriate in
regard to the services of Sir .1. Bashers that he would not
dwell any more on this subject. The other two droners
who went out by rotation were Colonel Henderson sad Mr.
Her Semi; who offered themeless ter reelection.
He was sun that it would give the greatest settees-
doe to all his a... Usage's to see him re elected. (Hear.)
The hon. gentleman also recommended the re-election of
Mr. Her Beymer, who had so much influence in the county
of Dorset, into which their line ran. With regard to the
two other gentlemen who were candidates he would not
make any remark. lie would only say happy could he be
with either. (Laughter.) He was sow goirg to touch on
a subject about which he felt some Imitation, but he would
beg of hon. proprietor to hear him with good temper. H.
alluded to the leasing for 14 years of the property of the
South Western Steam Navigation Company, on sea
as would secure the proprii ton therein a dividend of 6 per
cent. (No, no.) The propylene', well knew that this sub-
ject had come before them on previous occasions segue ad
sousecies. He now confidentlyealled on them to unfit= their
previous votes on this subject. e. No, no," and " Tee, yes.
The bon. gentlemen concluded by moving the adoptioa
the report, and recommending the speakers who should follow
him to be temperate in the discussion of the subject.
Mr. BAKER, after combating the conclusion et the report,
moved that a committee be appointed to inquire whether they
was *Lay or morally bound to lease the property of the
Seek Western Steam boat Navigation Company ?
Mr. J. W. CHOKER seem the mono&
After considerable disunion a show of hands wee taken,
which was declared to be in favour of the committee.
Mr. Tits then demanded $ poll.
It was then agreed that the report be received and
adopted, subject to the result of the poll. The following
gentlemen were appointed as the committee, in the event of
the poll being favourable: Messrs. Hayes, Baker, Croke&
Drew, Smith, Het , Crowley, Claes, WClose, Mr. SeWeant
Gaselee, and the chairman
Resolutions were then paned declaring a dividend of 6
per cent. ; sanotionieg the purchase of the Combat line for
60,0001. ; approving of the ball for =Wading the line to New
Windsor; approving the conversion into stock of the new
601. and 401. shares a 1845 and Third shares.
On the proposition for main_ application to parliament
for powers to take land upon the B. asingstake and Salisbury,
and Farnham and Alton lines, and for altering the wale of
voti,
Mnr.g GA.SELRE proposed an amendment to the diet that
every shareholder who held from 1 he 26 shares, should
have a vote, but withdrew it on the understanding that the
