CALCUTTA AND 130IITZT ZAISTURN RATLWAT.—An
extraordinary general meeting of this company was held
yesterday, at the offices, Gresham-house, for the purpose of
continniog the special resolutions passed at an extraordinary
general meeting of the company, held on the 13th instant,
for authorisieg the directors to borrow 30,0001. on deben-
tures of the company, convertible into shares, and to issue
such a number of additional shares to provide the means of
converting such debentures, and to increase the capital of
the company to that extent. Mr. J. Borradaile (the chair-
men) submitted the requisite confirmatory resolution. mid in
doing so stated that the directors felt no doubt of being
able to place the debentures inunediately, seeing that the
enterprise presented advantages which others did not, in the
oertiuuty of he early completion, smiths prospects of profits,
applicable to dividend, at an earlier ponod than say other
bee similarly situated. They would be glad tokeow that the
works were proceeding rapidly, and there was every reason
to hops that a considerable portion would be opened before
the rains set in, and the whole probably before the end of
the year. It had been thought right its issuing the delen-
tures to give the option of conversion into thane. The re-
solution wee seconded, and unanimously adopted.
