INDITHBBIII`IAII BITANSION TBLEOB4III.
(THIB DAY)

This afternoon an extraordinary general meeting
of the ehareholders in the Mediterranean Extension Tele-
graph Company we. held at the London Tavern, for the pur-
pose of considering the newest poeltion of the nedertalftg,
end of sanctioning the expenditure of the necessary capital
for laying down en additional cable; Sir JAS. CARKIC II Att.
, chairman of the board of directors, in the chair.
The report stoles that hitherto the company's prosperity
has depended solely upon the eucomsful working of one long
submarine line. The breaks in the cable between Malta an!
' Cagliari have seriou-ly prejudiced them. The construction
r.f the ireceed, or alternate hue, of 80 miles between Malta and
I Skil', the conossaion of which has been obtained from
the Neapolitan Government, will materially diminish the
company's risks, as the British government has
consented that the subsidy of six per oent. per
mourn on the original capital shall be paid so
long as communication by telegraph is kept open by
either route, instead of being dependent, as at preesat, ea
the integrity of the Malta, Cagliari, end Corfu lies doom
Irks this great slditional security cal be obtained by the err
peadirtire of • cepital of only 10,000/. or 11,0001. on the mo-
pcned new line, the directors express their oontlienoe that
the shareholder. will give their sanction. It is proposed to
offer to the existing proprietor. 1,500 eight per cent. pre-
fame' shares of 10/. each. The Neapolitan government has
promised to put up a 'equate wire from the Sicilian coast to
Naples, fir the exclusive use of "through" menages from
Malta. The expedition for the repair of the Malta and
Cagliari cable sailed from England on the 10th inst.
The report gave rise to cooriderable discussion, great ob-
jection being token to the issue of any preference capital
whatever; but the directors strongly urged that the new lthe
would be short, and its cable of mach strength ea to
render breakage highly improbable. By this means they
would obtain a donMe security for the permanence of the b
per /vat. government guarantee, while the traffic of the new
line, It wee expected, would far exceed the 8 per ant. which
it we• proposed to pay C,ll the new capital.
Ultimately the following resolution was agreed to:
That this company socept the concession for laying down
the line between Malta and Sicily, as contained in the terms
of an agreement obtained by the directors from the
Neapolitan !government for carrying out the same. And
that the directors be authorised and are hereby em-
powered to issue 1,500 preference chafes of the value of
101. each, bearing an annual Interest of 8 per cent., such
shares to be offered to the proprietors."
