4TLAN2IO XILEOL4PH OOMPANT.-(THIS
DAL)

This day at noon an extraordinary genus, met-
tog of the shareholders in the above company wee kid M
the London Tavern, to receive • report from the enders
upon the present position and future prospects of the under-
taking; the Right Hon. JAllla STO•ILT WOZTLIT, M.P.,
chairman of the Board of Biretta', in the chair.
The CRAIZIIAN, before the report was reed, explained the
dreumstanom which had led to his lamming the chairman-
ship of the company, and declared that there was no wieh on
the part of the direction "to make things pleasant," but
the board were anxious to give the shareholders all the Infor-
mation in their power.
Mr. Ss want), the @rental y, then pror"eded to reel the
report, • very lengthy document. After detailing the inci-
dente attending the laying down of the cable, which WWI
succeasfully accomplished between the Sib and Bth of August,
It refireed to the dispute with Mr. Whitehouse, the original
electrician,snd therabespientdevelopment of wriousdefectsin
the cable. The directors took steps to asoartain if the
fault existed at the Irish end of the cable, sad they
had reason to suppose that some portion of It had been so la-
kued so to allow of water reaching the electric wire.
Within the twit few days, the direction had received In-
formation of similar injuries having been discovered at the
Newfoundland end of the cable. There appeared to be only
one mode of remedying thetas defects, and that was to under-
run, or otherwise raise the cable fur the purpose of repairing
it. Bach • work would involve so much outlay that the dine-
tors had not felt themselves at liberty to undertakeit at present,
and they had therefore taken steps to reducs the expenditure
to the lowest point. The total cash received since the forma-
tion of the company amounted to 387,4781 19a. Bd., but in
addition to this cash, new shares had been Issued to the ori-
ginal projectors, sinounting to 75,0001. Up to the 80th of
November Lot the total expeditors had reached
379,0291. 17s. 3d.. end the balance now in hand
amounted to 7,998.1. In this elate of affairs,
the director", before taking any further proceedings,
had applied to the government to gamete. the bd.. of
the company's capital of 637,1401., in the same samara
that the capital el the Red flea Telegraph had been
guaranteed. They were now in negotiation with the
government yea that important matter, and until
Uwe, segveladess were completed and the result
knees, they thenglit It would be desirable to adjourn
this arising be seem dete thst would enable them to owes
eosin to the shereieelders, with a full stateroom of the deAnite
In tits of the goversment.

The Cnainnie Is moving the adoption of the
sympathised with position of the shareholders wl7oPn
lost their capital without any profitable result. At the
dam time he did not view this project in
the light of a conutarclal undertaking ; he viewed
It rather as one of a mixed character—partly commercial and
partly national—and taken in that some the past proceedings
were not without advantage. They had conclusively de-
monstrated that the project was practicable, and that
being ascertained ha thought both the company and the
rtWe had every reason to be hopeful for the future. En-
perisinnts had mend that no bijou had overtakes the shore
suds of the Mr, and it was highly probable that the deep
