RAILWAY MEETING.

WEST LONDON.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this tympany
was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatestreet. STE-
PHEN BIRD. Eq., took the chair; when Mr. WHIT, com-
plained of not having received any report of the directors for
this meeting, which he thought was very disrespectful to-
wards himself.—The CHAIRMAN said the accounts had been
sent to the shareholders, and to Mr. White also ; the Iwo-
lution passed at the last meeting had only reference to the
accounts, and ant to the report of the directors. Ile was not
aware that the directors had ever acted disrespectfully towards
the shareholders. (Hear.)—Mr. Bataan, the secretary,
read the report of the directors, from which it appeared that
Mr. Ainsworth had been appointed chairman of the com-
pany in the place of the late Mr. Grounds. Acting ow the
resolution pasted at the last meeting, legal proceedings had
been commenced on the part of this company against the
London and North-Western Company, and it was hoped
that the case would be brought to an early and satisfactory
termination. The unreasonable elides on the part of Mr.
Richardson for cleansing the Kensington Basin had been
resisted successfully. It was stated that the late secretary of
the company had lett the service, being a debtor to the com-
pany to a large amount, but it was hoped that the loss would
not be eventually great. The directors retiring were Mr.
Lard and Mr. S:epben Bird, who were eligible for re-election.
—Mr. WHITS entered into a statement of the public ad-
vintages of this line when properly worked, and concluded
his observations by regretting the appointment of gentlemen
as directors connected with the London and North Western
company, which had been the main canto of the delay en pro-
ceeding against that important company for a fulfilment of
the agreement.—Mr. Rimer said • good cease would less
nothicg by publicity ; he therefore hoped that the gentleman
who attended there on that occasion, would give them
some information as to tow they stood at present
with respect to the London and, North Western
company.—The CHAIRMAN observed, that be dare
say there would be no objection to that.—Mr. Gurerza
thought the observations made by Mr. White were
so very valuable that the meeting ought to be adjourned
for their consideration.—Mr. WHITS moved as an amend-

ment the adjournment of the meeting to the first Tuesday
is May, fur the purpose of receiving an amended report
from the directors of the state and prospect. of the under-
taking.—Mr. Wool) seconded the motion.—A gentleman, on
the pert of Mr. Sale, the solicitor, stated that this company
proposed to amend their declaration ; and they
would wait to see what answer the London
and North Western Company would put in.
AIN/MOUTH stated that the directors bad been looklllig
into the subject of the Hest and West India Dock Company,
and, 0 to the land alluded to, the directors would pay strict
attention to its real value in ewe of disponi. He thought
that the bill of Mr. Bicardo would serve their cu.., for it
appealed that the London and North Western Company
served the North Staffordshire Company in the same way se
themselves, by net stopping their trains where required.
(Hear, hen.)—After some further discussion the amend-
ment was lost, sad the report adopted unanimously. A vote
of thanks was posted to the chairman and directors, when
the meeting separated.
