LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL•

The eighth half-yearly general meeting of the Pro-
prietors of this Company was held on Saturday, at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. John Moxon,
Esq., the Chairman of the Directors, took the Chair
shortly after one o'clock, when there was a full attend-
ance of Proprietors.
The Report, 'which extended to a great length, was
then read. It gave—
l. An account showing the tut .d sums received and
expended from the commencement of ttoo undertaking,
made up to the 31st of July last.
2. The account of receipt and expenditure for the
half year ending the same date.

3. An account, also made up to the 31st of July last,
exhibiting the amount of income derived from traffic
and the charges upon it, from the sth June, at which
date the railway was opened to the public.
With regard to the number of passengers, the amount
of traffic, and the receipts, it appeared that since the open-
ingof the railway on the sth of June till the 30th of August
the total number of passengers was 187,927, and the
receipts 9.763/. Among the charges upon the proceeds
of traffic was the sum of 162/. 13s. paid to the Govern-
ment for mileage duty, and the attention of the meeting
was called to the outstanding claims to be provided for,
amounting to 77,343/. This amount the Directors pro-
posed to meet by 5,334 additional shares, and by raising,
by way of mortgage, a sum not exceeding 33,0001.
After a lengthened and occasionally a noisy discus-
sion, the Report was received and ordered to be printed
and circulated. •

Mr. CAPELL, after some preliminary remarks, then
moved the following resolution—" That it appearing
from the circular addressed to the Proprietors that
there is a division of opinion in the Board as to the
propriety of yielding to the resolution of the last meet-
ing of the Proprietors, the effect of which was that
an appeal should be made to the Proprietors by the
resignation of the Directors, this meeting thinks it ne-
cessary to intimate that it has no confidence in the ma-
nagement of John Moxon, Esq., Jonathan Hayne, Esq.,
and John Liddiard, Esq. ; and that they are accord-
ingly requested to resign forthwith."
The CHAIRMAN said that this resolution they had
called down upon themselves, and no man could be
more obliged to Mr. Capell than he was for proposing
so distinct and manly a resolution. He should go to
the ballot on this question, and the consciousness which
he had of having done right prevented him from feeling
apprehension as to the result, whatever it might be.
He would prefer that the ballot should take place on
Tuesday, the 17th.

The Motion was then put and carried by a majority
of 43 to 26 The ballot was fixed for Tuesday, the
17th September.
A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and
the meeting separated.
