their special arrangements for this pttrpose being on the most com-

in devising the most approved military styles of .DRESS, has
enabled them to produce, the most magnificent

_ _ _

The Cnautaras, in moving pro forma, the adoption
,f the report, observed that the business of the day
would be,very-shotti but he Wished to mike a few
remirks, in Tegardto their politico), in order that the
shareholders Might not be misled as to the real value
of their property by the returns which had just now
bean ,laid before them. The company was now in a
-:state'Of transition,
.from the condition of an indepen-
dent company to that of one of the Associated Com-
panies. Twelve months ago the had told the share-*
holders that the alliance which they then contemplated,
and had since effected; would not_ prove immediately
beneficial, but that its first operation would be to de-
prive this;cionpany of all the advantages of its Man-
chester line•and- of the • greater portion of faa traffic
from Manchester to Chester. .It was natural to sup-
pose that the London and- North-Western Company,
which. was so seriously affected by the junction of this
company with. the. Great_ Western and Shrewsbury
lines, would offer'all the opposition in its power to the
arrangements now 'in priagress.a--(llear, hear.) At
the two last meetings.the directors had suggested to
the proprietors the necessity of making arrangements
at Manchester; to enable them to have the control over
their oiln:businest —a control -which, from the termi-
nal regulations. there, was now' in the hands of the
London land North-Western Company, who, as might
be expected, diverted the traffic to' their own line, to
the injury of this company, and the prejudice of the
town of Birkenhead. The 'anticipations which had
been stated a year ago had proved correct, and the re-
turns now presented, therefore, formed no fair ground
for estimating. the Value of this line if it had remained
an independent: company. At present they -had not
realised any direct advantgge, from their alliance with
the Associated •Conapanies. The communication being
broken at Wolverhampton, thethrough traffic was con-
tided to that which they possesSed before the alliance,
as the London and North-Western had successfully
adopted plans- to prevent any 'traffic
,coming down
the Stsrewsbitry line to Birkenhead.—(llear, hear.)
The Shrewsbury :and; .Hereford line was not open ;'
and-the Cheater and HOlyheatt=scrably re—p-reSeeted
ut all Meetings ofihis company by the Hon. Member
(Mr. 'Jackson M, p.),. and over which the Landon
and North-Western exercised so large a conziol—
had managed to promote the interests and policy of
the latter company in' opposition, VI( the associated
companies. But ha (the Chairnaan) and his brother
directors wertitoo well disposed to be on good terms
with their friends on the other side of the water to be
angry, or find fault with anything
.they:
(Cheers and laughter.) He only mentioned these
things' now to show that in their , present transition
state all their profits were swallowed up in working
t,xpenses, and that this would continue to be the case
until either this company was again an independent
company, orlhe astsociated companies
could make
their Own arrangementc —(Hear, hear.) The Cheshire
line had yielded, under, all the drawbacks, far more
than he, (the Chairman) had ever expected from it; and
&tlia4:ll•Pw.more confidence than .ever .that it Would
prove most useful to the district,- and command
large , amount of traffic. From Christmas last
to Christmas .next ` they, would receive tb€ gross ,
amount of 85,0001: ; and their traffic would be
.wiirkect by any•ofthe companiehini terms that would
.leave this company in the enjoyment of nearly the
same amount Of money, they had stipulated to receive
trom the. associated companies,: leaving this company
all the advantages 'of. Birkenhead. He wished to
speak guardedly. It Was not his desire, 'or that of
taa hoard, to do anything to prevent the carrying
'out of theiregreeMent in all its integrity;
but per-
'4onally he (the Chairman) wasveryinclifferent about
it.—(Hear,-hear.) He believed it would be carried
integrityvailthough the Great Western Corn-
pour was so occupied with, pressing. Parliamentary
sand other.hiisiness, that it:could not meet its allies to
completes the agreernenti.—(Hear,' hear.), Provision
wthphade that, in case of , any difference of opinion,
the points should be 'submitted to arbitration; and if
any necessity arose—if any new state of affairs should
occurthe direntora would call the shareholders to-
gether, inict-inake,thern acquainted with' the facts.--.-
-(Cheers.) *Ha WM not aware that they. would -be
called upon to.make any sacrifieeg, and therefore
moved that the reports and statement of accounts be
received and confirmed. •

Mr. CATURALL seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted. I
The next resolution, declaring a dividend of 4s. lid.
upon each hare -•Of 271. 103. for the half-year, of
2s. 10fd. upon each 221. share, and of 3s. 101 d.. upon.
each 311, sbaref was unanimously acquiesced in, as
was also that declaring the forfeiture of a large
number of shares of which due notice had been given.
A motion wasihen‘made that the, directors be em-
powered to proceed with the Bills now before Parlia-
ment and to oppose others.
Mr. tiACSON,,M.P., opposed the latter portion of
the proposition, and wished the motion to be divided,
for the purpose of affirming the forper and, negativing
the latter; • but after some conversation „the HOD.
Member did not press his amendment, and the resolu-
tion was carried' with one dissentient.-
A memorial from, 42 local passenger contractors
was brought forward' by Mr. Ti ERJNGTON relative
to the starting of a morning train a• quarter of an
hour earlier, so as to enable the business men of
Liverpool ,to, reach town, by 10,a.m. The meeting,
-:however, deolined to•••entertain the question, which
conveyed an implied censure on the directors.
After a vote of thanks to the:Chairman the meeting
broke up.
