GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

A special general meeting was held at noon, at 11
the London Tavern, Mr. C. H. TURNER in the chair, " to
authorise the creation and inane of shares or stock under
the acts of 1864 and 1865, by which the company were 1
authorised to raise additional capital and to attach to 1
such new shares or stock such preference or priority of 1
interest or dividend out of the profits of the company as
by the Great Eastern Railway Additional Powers Act,
1866, is authorised."
The CHAIRMAN commenced by expressing his sense of
his deep responsibility in advocating a line of policy which f
was not created by himself, but which he found created,
and was obliged to make the best of. He regretted to
differ on that subject from many of his friends. The
last half-yearly report had prepared the shareholders ;
for this meeting, and after full consideration of the metro-
',entail extensions the board had come to the conclusion
that the cost of abandoning them would be greater
than that of proceeding with them. Out of 28
miles of railway, however, which had been projected
they had determined to postpone 17, leaving I
only 11. The directors proposed the making of
a line from Liverpool-street to Biahopsgate-street, from
Bishopsgate-street to the coal depot at Wbitechapel, from
Mile-end to Hackney and Upper Clapton, and from Hack-
ney to Walthamstow and Stamford-hill. They would be
very glad if proprietors could suggest any mode of avoid-
ing these extensions. The share capital required was
3,210,423 f., and the borrowed capital, 1,084,9601. ; making
a total of 4,295,383/. Three and a half millions was re-
quired for metropolitan extensions, for working stock,
and to meet different engagements. About one
millica was required to pay off the temporary
loans. The future charge involved in the present proposals
was 2i millions for metropolitan extensions, and one mil-
lion more than was charged against the revenue at the pre-
sent moment. During construction the whole
of the interest would be charged against the
capital and not against the revenue, but
about a million more would be charged against the
revenue than he apprehended at the time when he ad-
dressed them last. The contractors were to be Messrs.
Lucas, Brassey, and Wise, and they were the parties who
would guarantee the payment of the interest eluting
constrnction. It was proposed to issue three.and-
a-quarter millions of stock at 6i per cent interest,
redeemable at any time after five years at 110/.
fcr each 100 f. stock. The debts and engagements of the
company were of such a nature that this capital must he
found, and it was absolutely necessary that the board
should appeal to the shareholders of the company to
supply it. He concluded by moving the following
resolution :—" That pursuant to the resolution of the ex-
traordinary general meeting of the shareholders held on
the 9th of October. 1866, and the powers conferred by the
Great Eastern Railway (additional powers) Act, 1866, and
the several other undermentioned acts, a capital or sum of
3,210,4231. be authorised to be raised and issued, to bear
a preferential dividend out of the profits of the company,
in priority to the ordinary shares and stock of the company,
at the rate of 6i per centum per annum subject to
redemption by the company at any time after the end of
five years from the date on which the same shall be
issued on payment of 1101. for every 100 f. of such capital,
viz. Great F.astern Railway Metropolitan Station and
Railways Act, 1t64 ; Great Eastern Railway Highbeech
Branch Act, 1864 ; Tendring Hundred Railway Extension
Act, 1863 ; Motley Thorpe and Walton Railway Act,
1864 ; West Norfolk Junction Railway Act, 1864 ; East
Norfolk Railway Act, 1864 ; Tottenham and Hamp-
stead Junction Railway Act, 1864 ; Greet Eastern
Railway (Junctions) Act, 1864 ; Ely, Haddenham,
and Sutton Railway Act, 1864 ,• the Great Eastern
Railway (Capital, &c.), Act 1665 ; Great Eastern Railway
Additional Powers Act, 1865 ; Great Eastern Railway
(Ramsey Branch) Act, 1865; Tottenham and Hampstead
Junction Railway Act, 1865 ; Mititley Thorpe and Walton
Railway Act, 1865.
Mn Beds entered into some unfavourable comments on
the internal administration of the board, and the working
of the committees.

pany is entitled under the charter-party of the Great
