U•der the bead" Amain of Share Capital," It appeared
that the iota nominal share capital was 8.160,0001., of
whisk 7,834,5001. was celled, and 325,5001. uncalled. The fol-
lowing wag ceded : "N B. Dividend at 2 per cent. for the
bahilear oo 7.5.A.5001 is 156.3901., and will leave • ba-
kes. eves of 39.7031. 9.. Ild."
The CHAIRMAN ,hen moved :
" That me envy.: now read be received and adopted, and
printed for circulation amongst the proprietors."
After some Miecussion,
Tee untie& for the adoption of the report was agreed to
naratim
It was then wed and seconded:
" Teat the report of the committee of consultation be now
revived."
The anot'on was also agreed to.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought it very important that the pro-
prietor. 'lnlaid septet their opinion on the various recom-
mendations o: the committee ; otherwise the labutin of the
oommit•ee triuhl have been entirely thrown away. It
would, no rimb:, be very convenient to the directors to
avoid curb en expression. With regard to the reduction of
the number of directors, it was rather • isoommendation
then mivthing else. He then moved:
Trim this meeting, having received the report of the
committee 01 C neoltation, appointed on the 20th of Nov..
1449, do hereby adopt the said report, and recommend that
the various propoaitions contained is Wien:tied out."
They hod had the report before them long enough to
weigh its contents He believed that the information con-
tained in it might berthed upon, and it was for the meeting
to consider how far it was worthy of adoption.
Mr. NICHOLSON seemedeil the memo.
A PROPRIETOR timed the motion far too exclusive,
amd proposed to cabalists for item an amendment that the
report of the evamit:oe of peopneton should be recommended
to the co:Milne:ion of the directors, and that the directors
should be recommended to give their opinion upon it at the
next meeting. (Hear, boar.)
The aunts:l-new having been amended,
Dlr. WILLIAMS withdrew his maim.
A PROPRIETOR suggested that a special meeting
'Louie be eenvened for the consideration of the report.
Toe CHAIRMAN said be was tare the committee would
aeleacwielLie that the directors had met them with an earnest
desire to ad, pt their suggestions • indeed, they had carried
sat many of the suggestions as suggestions;
as had been practicable ;
bat there were mazy question, far example, the erection of
sett age, and • change in the mode of obtaining a supply of
eat, which requires to be deliberately considered. As to
the guertm of audit, time pressed for its settlement.
The direct.n priposed that • committee of shareholders
ahoted be ep;einted to act on behalf of the directors with
other companies. It was for the shareholders themselves to
app tr t senum-never they pleased.
Mr. W ITHERS concurred in the opinion that it was de-
sirable to recommend the suggestions in the report to the
evesideration of the dinners, leaving them to state here-
after en what grun.ids they disunited from any parties's,
resommandetion. A. to the reduction of the number of
dinners. although it could not be made compulsory, it
uusfht be don by the voluntary act of the directors.
Attu tome farther discussion an amendment, referring the
report to the direeton, wee adopted in the following form :
"That this meeting, having received the report of the
emstaitt e of consultation app anted on the 20th September,
1649. do roc slammed that the various propositions contained
'kerns be considered by the directors, who are to report
their /pinion., with the remove la ease they do not carry
them cut, f v tho consideration of the nest g 1 meeting.
Capt. PRICE :hen prop sod a oelie of thanks to the crea-
mlike of e .n.ittation.

the deep etniestions ander which the proprietors generally
were paced to the committee.
