THE SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY.

TO TNT IMO& 01 TIP lIIMIIIS.
announcement appears in the Money
article of your paper of this evening (which the directors of
this company consider highly prejudicial to the interests of
the company) is follows :
" It I. announced that the competition between this tom-
pony (the London General Omnibus Company) mad the
Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company Is at an end, acoord-
Mg to an agreement just signed by the respective managers.
The exhaustion of the pecuniary resources of the Saloon
Company is understood to have primarily contributed to this
result."

The directors request that you will Mom this letter, dis-
tinctly to contradict that statement, for which there is nor
the shadow of foundation. No negotiation between the two
oompenies has ever taken place upon the subject, and there
Is no thought or desire on the part of the Saloon Company
to join the London General Company. The Saloon Com-
pany ham been established and will maintain its position se
an independent company.
This very day the Saloon Company have held their half-
yearly ordinary meeting, and also a special ;mooting to con-
fine a resolution authorising them to receive 6,0001. on de-
bentures. The utmost possible unanimity has prevailed at
t►is meeting, which filed the large room:at the London
Tavern, the only dissentients being three individuals, whe,
under the influence of the othercompany, lose no opportunity
either by handbills, advertheensata, or iw prepria ?croons, to
impede the success of the Saloon Company. A resolution
condemnatory of the conduct of this fiction was put and
carried, their own three hands being the only ones held up
against it.

I hal mewed, in justice to the Sabots Company, you will
MI hosed to give insertion in the mans pert of your jotunal
to this 6=oa/triton of the statement m prominently made in
your paper.—l am, /be., W. 8.. POPE, Secretary.

Yesterday afternoon an extraordinary avowal
maths( of the shareholders fa this compp was bald at the
London Tam, for the purpose of oanErmisg the resolution
passed at the meeting of March 9 with reference to the isms
of delmatares ; to amend the articles of sisociation in other
so as to give Increased facilities to the directors

transmit the business of the ordinary general misting.
Yr. FRANCIS FARARR (chairman of the board ot

The Catalan/A explained that the meeting wee en andel

Mr. Poe e, the eserstery, Ala reed the repeat of the di-
rectors, which eoemed very tally into the saint of the
earepany. It staled that la September lea 12 omnibuses

16 anathema in work, with 140 harem and three other omni-
buses had been added to the plant ; 1,278 additional shares
bad been taken, and applicant= had beat made for 1,4001.

of the public would han enabled them to increase
t mamba of omnibus@ by 10 la the neat month, but
they had tedied to receive that The period of the
year bed gene put for making to by °methane. The (B-
reams recommisded yearly instead of half-yearly meetings.
They hoped that they would be able to have 15 omnibuses in
the spring of 1869 fLe company had been met by most =ecru-
palms opposition ; but they hoped to make ouch arrange-
ments as would advantage both the public and themselves.
They showed in their balance-sheet that great reductions had
been made in expenditure. It had been proposed to reduce
the number of directors to SST= ; but as they were not paid,
end it was important that they should have more named of
fawn directors, they (the directors) recommended that the
anzater be iscreased to 12, and that the directors have power
to that molt new direceore, subject to approval at the nod
oratory gamma meeting.
The OILIitAXAN then said it wu hie duty to move That

Mr. G. W. JON= seconded 11101kli. The resolution
which they were asked to omens was to give the directors
power to rules 6,0001. on debenture bands. (Hear, hear.)

W. °LINN!! said the meeting must understand that the
was 8001. worse off than they were at the lest
sou . The &embolden were not responsible for what
the direetere did without their authority, sad therefore they
should not give them the authority to ineue these debestnres,
for that would amble the debenture holders to hare the
aret hold on the company's property. He should therefore
move se an amendment 6st the disem ion be postponed to
a week. (No, no, end Hear, hear.)
Mr. Hawirns seconded the ammimat, amidst a some
of the greatest confusion and cries of disapprobatica.
The CH•IIIMAN then put the anundeasst, for which only
three hands were held up.
The original resolution was that pat and carried amidst
load &errs and confusion.

The Ctrim/tut theiMoved, "That sa a farther

trading orrapenies and individuals in the conduct of the

yseconded the motion, which was also
mewled with only a few dissentients.
The CRAIRYAN then declared the business of the special
ammithea to be at an end, and the ordinary general meeting
was proceeded with.
Mr. Veiling° (the solicitor) then again read the report.
The CHAII111•14 then moved the adoption of the r

organised against the company. &me of the parties to the
opposition had, by a system of " nursing," and so on. wished
this company now to appear before the public in a de-
pend state, evidently with the intention of Wowing the
compeny to sell up the affair at their opponents' Flee. He

Mr. Macaulay add be was instructed on the part of Mr.

chairmen of the Great Northern Railway Company, for a
rale calling upon the printer of the Times newspaper to show
cause why it criminal information should not be filed against
Mm for a libel upon Yr. Denison sad other gentlemen, bat
chiefly capon the former, which appeared in that
Journal on Friday last. The matter complained
of was an article of some length. under the

perft to be •• cerement on the conduct of Mr. Dodson
Ind Wier gentienten in regard to a matter of public amo-
rist', the ecopelition which had for some time been
gds. on between tie Greg Northern and the North Western
RedCocapenise. The learned counsel then read the
wbole article, which began thus : " The public are at length

prises involving between 40,000,0001. and 60,000,0001.
of capital, and the consequent incomes of many
hundreds of families, can be conducted on no
better principles than those which were common to the
most reckless gamesters of half • century ago." In allusion
to en arrangement which had been made for an arbitration,
the writer said that Mr. Edmund Denison, at the last mo-
ment, refused to consent on the moat vital point, and that it
thusbecame evident that the Great Northern Company, in
entertaining the mediation, never had any intention to
submit to it, except where they could ascertain it might be
need for some =hit. advantage. He then proceeded :—" In
private life, when one man attacks another, and will neither
wait a regular appeal to law, nor leave his case in the hands

&Mich then spoke of the " unpleasant indication of the taw"

The Lord Chief Baron said—lt is the duty of a tradesman
before he trusts a wife to make inquiries end entertain whe-
ther she is living with her husband. It may be very dis-
agreeable to make inquiries about a lady who has ordered
163/. worth of millinery, but still it is the duty of a base-
man to do so. The court thinks the question raised is et
considerable iz=ce, and we shell take time to consider.
