The shareholders in the Great Ship Company ap-
pear to be very much dissatisfied with the position
of their undertaking. Amongst the complaints
which have reached us is the following :
Can you allude to the conduct of the directors of theOreet
Eastern? It I. not fair towards shareholders when directors
are also contractors, as it must influence them. What trade,
or prospect of It, is there before the vessel? Taking acci-
dents and expenses into account, Ido not think that up to
thia polio the show returns have paid a fourth of the expense.
What will it be through the winter 1' Mr. Lever has made
ma offer of the most liberal description, and which affords a
present guarantee of interest to shareholders with a fair hope
of future profit. Such men es Cunard or Lever we mope-
teat to deal with the vessel, and to carry out the great na-
*sal andertak.ng of ocean railways, which she was sup-
posed to inaugurate ; bat the present directors seem to be
coating with having launched and laid up the vessel, with
the (se it appears) mole intent of exhibiting her as the spring
and summer again. In fact, they make • yacht of her,
instead of • packet or trader, sad the shareholders will soon
dad out what yachting is on such a scale. I understand
that Mr. Levers offer is not aosepted, and I want to know
what Is to be done with the vessel. Will the governmeat
take her ? What do the directors intends Why do not the
shareholders call a maerang?
