SPECIAL ➢MEETING-THIS DAY.

A special meeting of the proprietors of this company was
held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of
considering and determining upon the exercise of the powers
conferred by the London and Biackwall Railway Net, 1862,
with reference to the raising of capital, and. the cancelling
shares created under the powers of the London and Black-
wall Railway Act, 1860, and the creation of new shares in
lieu thereof ; and to consider and determine upon the pre-
ferential, fixed, fluctuating, contingent, perpetual, or ter-
minable dividend, and such other privileges or restrictions
as the company may think fit to be attached to such new
shares, and also to any preference shares into which any
ordinary shares created under the Act of 1860 may be con-

vetted.
At a meeting of the : proprietors, in August, 1850, it was
resolved to create 46,154 shares of £6 10s. each, for the pur-
pose of raising the 1100,000 capital, authotiyed by " The
London and Blackwall Railway Act, 1860." Of those
shares, 21,735, representing £160,777 lOs , were taken up
by the proprietors, and 21,419 shares, representing
£139,223. 10s., remain unissued. It was nposad at the
present meeting to cancel the 21,419 shame lot issued, and
to create in lieu thereof the same number of shares of a

10s. each, and to attach to such shares a preferential per-
petual dividend at the rate of £4 lOs. per cent. per annum
on the ailioant for the time being paid up.
The CHAIRMAN briefly moved resolutions carrying out
the recommendations of the directors, at the same time ex-
pressing an opinion that the new shares would be readily
taken up.

The resolutions were agreed to unanimously.

a source of inconveniencer y and
assembled shareholders, as yesterday
rangement which was made for the accommodation of the
holiday folk was considered to be an improvement on th e pl an.
By the mode, which has for years been in operation, all pas-
sengers, first and second (which includes third class) male
and female, have to pass through a narrow barrier placed in
front of the centre of three windows, to the imminent risk
of their dresses and pockets, to procure their tickets. The
directors most certainly ought to have had some conside-
ration for ladies who are willing to pay first- class fares,
and not compel them to lass pell-mell through the narrow
way between a number of gigantic navvies on the way to
work on the main drainage operations, especially as their
language is not always fit for ears polite, or the perfume of
their garments redolent of lavender. Yesterday the two
side tieket windows were opened in place of the middle one,
and the obtaining of the requisite bits of pasteboard WAS a
matter easy of accomplishment. If the sew arrangement
is to be made permanent, all that will be required is to fiz
one of the windows for the issue of first, and the other fa
second-class passengers, and to erect a slight partition
between the two, so that each class will have that which
they pay for, viz., good and sufficient accommodation.l--.
