COMMERCIAL BANK OP LONDON.

•
After our report left yesterday,
The CHAIRVAX moved the resolution for the appointment
of the committee, and suggested the names of Mr. Under-
wood, Mr. Headkin, M.P., and Mr. Jay.
Mr. HOUCKINSON 511 W no reason for appointing any com-
mittee at all. Why should they embarrass the free action
of the directors, who had always conducted the business of
the bank with honour and skill—(A Voice : Certainly not
with skill)—and were best acquainted with the cirmini-
stances of the bank!

Dr. Qualms also thought it better to leave the matter
wholly in the bands of the directors. They had made the
arrangement for putting an end to the bunions, of the bank
on their own responsibility, and it should be left to them,
on their own responsibility, to bring those arrangements to
a oonclusion.

Mr. FISHER, and other shareholders, expressed a similar
opinion.
The Ciptmusn, in reply to a question, said that he,did
not wish a committee, but he thought it proper to put it to
the shareholder' whether they wished it or not.
The resolution for appointing a committee was then put,
aid negatived by an overwhelming majority.
Mr. HOP: K !NSW( moved a vote of thanks to the clutirman
and his colleagues, complimenting them in very nattering
terms upon their general 111111311101U00t, end the prudeoce stud
discretion with which they had dealt with the present
dinculty.
The motion wu unanimously carried, and the CKAIIIKAN,
with much emotion, spoke his ulnowledgments.
A similar compliment was also paid to Mr. Cabin, the
manager, whose reply terminated the proceedings.

street. The Hoo. Scurr occupied tho chair.
Resolutions recommending to the -eneral meeting the
adoption of the report and accounts and the declaration of a
dividend at the rate of M. 75c. or 3s. per share, were
pared.
On the motion of Mr. lIIIVINE Mr. James Aikin, of Liver-
pool, was elected to the seat at the board vacant by the
death of Mr. Uzielli.

Mr. F•t7trm.v moved a resolution to the effect that the
meetings of the company ahould be held hell-yearly instead
of annually.
Mr. P. Run considered that such • measure would have
a very prejudicial effect upon the property of the abate-
holders. seeing that from its nature their teat& wee very
unequally divided between the two half years.
The resolution was negatived.
Mr. i !WINE suggested for the consideration of the lmard
whether it might not be advisable, with a view to give
shareholders abetter title to their property, to substitute
for the scrip by which it was now held, • register of shares.
Mr. W. READ objected that the machinery as applied to
a Belgian Railway would be very cumbersome and ea-
pensive.. _ .

/4ZIL oescurreci in the suggestion of Mr. Irwin..
The CHAIRKAX wished it to be borne in mind that to
carry out such a change in the system an alteration of their
statute would be necessary.

.
A Pnorairroa, who described himself as a member of
the Loudon Stock Exchange, remarked that the great mi-
minge that the shares of continental railways possessed
wee the facility of transfer.
After some conversation the subject dropped, and a vote
of thank' to the chairman and directors brought the pro-
esedisp to a close.
