idea of extendiog their powers by a new bill, Iva
is the wares of their comtanniestions with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, certain circumstances led
mesa to comilueien that it would be better for the interests
of the shareholders not to press the bill at ;assent, and it
was thandore abandoned. In cam:Aim, he could wore

who had cordially given them their gratuitous a :lying, as
regarded the past, that for the future the same vigilant atten-

favoured them with their confidence, sad they entertained
a magnum expectation that at no distant day such • return
would be made t i the shareholders on the capital toy. sited as

Mr. J. B. HARRIBON emoted the motion.

Mr. Lla STEVENS add that before the report was
adored he writhed to draw the attention of the shareholders
to the fact that, as long as the company followed the system
which vas practised by bins whilst officially connected with
its,—namely, that of an intensive sod liberal system of ad.
vertising by means of the public press—their weekly receipts
bad inereaired ; but the moment it was abandoned, they had
fallen off. The average weekly receipts in Novernbi r last
year were 721.; in October, 721. But in consequence of the
more liberal spirit adopted by the company with regard to
advertising, the weekly average receipts rest by February to
1121 In March. whets the advertisements were much red need,
the receipt tall to 941. 13.. ; in April, to 741. fts ; in May, to
661. ; in June, to 421., being jest one-third of the averago
weekly income of February. The directors by this time
became alarmed ; they exercised their policy, and adopted
the system of greater publicity. The consequence was that
• in July the weekly receipts averaged 611. 164.; and for the
three arst weeks of August, which was the latest period to
which the accounts were mode up, the income increased to
691. per week. He telt einfident that by pursuing
the same liberal system the receipts for February,
1851, would be much larger than 1121., and he
taw no reason why they should not reach 2601. a week. He
made these remarks not from key personal Who', but ia
consequence of the relation in which he stood at one time I.
the company. He felt it his duty to make these olvieiva-
tione, who* he trusted he did in a prop, r spirit. (Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said that the object of the directors
was to 'atomise, end they therefore decided, sad he
thought rightly, upon trying a leas expensive male of ad-
v. Teasing than was pursued by the gentleman who hid just
spoken. He hoped the proprietors would give the direc•ors
credit for doing what they thought hest calculated to promote
the interest of the onnipaey. (Hear.)
The Rey. J. KRTTLEY thought that the subject Intro-
duced by Mr. flteveus would more properly come soder the
consideration of a private board. (Chun.)
The motion was then 'cried to.
