Kr. eOlO.OOl/ m the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, I have to inform
you that the committee of proprietors to inquire into :the
affairs of the company, appointed at the hall early meeting
held on the Bth of March last, communicated to the direc-
tors, by a letter dated the 3d instant, that they should not be
prepared to make their report to the shareholders to-day.
The directors, therefore, to avoid giving unnecessary trouble
to the proprieiors in attending Isere to-day, issued a letter
to them, under date of the sth instant, acquaint-
ing them that the meeting to be held to-day
would assemble only pro formd for the purpose of a further
adjournment. And I have now to move, " That this meet-
ing be further adjourned to the 17th day of Msynext, at
one o'clock in the afternoon precisely, at this place"
(Bridge-honse Hotel). 2 that time, we learn from the
committee, they will be f y prepared to snake their report
to the shareholders.

Mr. RENSHAW having seconded the motion, it was
pat and earned.
The meeting then adjourned.

MONEY MARKET.

THURSDAY EVININO.
The payment of the advance on the deposit of the
coupons cf the Mexican Bonds, which became due on
the lit January, 1847, which has been advertised by
the agents of the Mexican government, continues to
be a vexed question on the Stock Exchange. The
idea of making an advance subject to a charge of 4
per cent. interest for an indefinite period is naturally
scouted, and, in consequence, a meeting of some of
the principal dealers in Mexican Bonds was held to-
day, James Capel, Esq., in the chair ; when it was
agreed to represent to the agents, /desert,. John
Schee:der and Co., the dissatisfaction that is felt at
the complexity of the proposed arrangement for the
payment of the dividend in question, and to request
that it might be modified.
It would appear that the simplest course would be
to ply 2 per cent on account of the arrears on the
bonds, on a deposit of the firs) overdue coupon, giving
the holders an acknowledgment of the remaining 10s.
per cent., to be paid out of the firet remittances.
It is hoped tt at this remonstrance will bs listened
to, as the 'siring scheme of pas meet seems quite
impracticable, and will not be accepted.
