The CHAIRMAN said, in reply to a proprietor, that
there was nothing outstanding, except current expenses.
After some observations from Mr. Anderton and others,
The CHAIRMAN said it became his duty to move the
adoption of the report at this the first assembly of the repre-
sentatives of the company under the act of incorporation.
He rejoiced to say t►ere was never a period since he had
been connected with the company in which their prospects
were so cheering as at present, fa it would be seen that
they were acting in harmony with the East India Company
and with the government in India. Their engineering staff
had been very carefully selected, and were now actually at
work on the undertaking. (Hear, bear.) No exertion
would be wanting on the part of himself and colleagues to
manage the affairs of the company for the interest of the
shareholders.
A long discussion then took place, in respect to the din.
missal of the intended mustier in ladla, Mr. Chapman.
which wee justified in a long statement of the noble chair-
man, and condemned by Mr. R. W. Crawford. The sub-
stance of the discussion was that on one side the directors
stated that Mr. Chapman declined the salary they offered
his, and wished to muck* too much to himself, and on the
aide of Mr. Chapman it was stated be had agreed to leave
the question of his salary to the judgment of the E est India
Company, he being the launder and promoter of the
compaay.

fid.DLEIR, thought the question of salary to
Mr. Chapman was more a matter to be arranged by the
directors than asabjeot for the consideration of this meeting.
He coneluded his observations by moving the adoption of the
report.

Mr. J. FIELD, Jos., eeconded the motion, and compli-
mented the board on their good management, end parti-
cularly on the selection et two such excellent names as
Cursetjee Jamestjes and Jagsenoth Bookersett, as members
ot the Bombay committee. (Hear, hear.)

After wort observations from Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Frith,
Captain Barber, Mr. Crawford, and others,
The report was adopted almost unanimously, there being
only four dletentients.
The directors, es stated in the report, were then taken
seriatim, and agreed to,
Mr. CRAWFORD protesting against the re•eleetion of
Mr. Nicholson, he being a servant of the company, and,
therefor*, ineligible under the Companies Clauses Act.
The CHAIRMAN said that the question had been sub-
mitted; but the re-election of Mr. Nicholson might be agreed
to pending farther inquiry oa the subject.
Mr. AYRTON (a solicitor of Bombay), observed that the
directors had ne power to give Mr. Chapman the authority
he desired. The great object of complaint on his part, as the
solicitor to a number of friends in Bombay, was, that 15,000
share. had boon deprived of the power of voting at this
meeting. He maintained that it was the duty of the directors
to place the Bombay shareholders in the mate politica as the
shareholders in this 'cannery. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN could ware the hos. proprietor that
arrangements bed been already made for that purpose, and
that orders had bees already seat out to India which would
great equal rights to the Indian shareholders. (Applatiae.)
Mr. James Aaderton and Mr. R Heating, M.P., were
appointed auditors of the company.
_ . _

Mr. RICHMOND then moved a vote of thanks to the
directors, which wee seconded and pawed, and the meeting
adjourned.
