EMIGRATION TO AWSTRALIA.
All emigrants find London the best port for embarkation to the
land of golden realities. All Emigrants have likewise found E.
MOSES & SON'S OUTFITS the most advantageous, and those who
13• ocured them previous to their voyage, have had more comfort and
success than any of their compeers ; indeed, the benefits they have
reaped in the quality and price of the goods are said to have equalled
the most fortunate "diggings."
To supply all Emigrants with OUTFITS and CLOTHING, with
every other requisite, E. MOSES & SON keep a separate depart-
ment in these great Business Establishments, where the best and
cheapest goods can be selected by all classes now intending to
emigrate.

gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of
the kingdom.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradosman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with heir Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held on Saturday at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of hearing the result of the poll on the question
as to whether the board should consist of 13 or 14 mem-
bers ; to elect directors to fill vacancies at the board ;
and also to elect an auditor ; the Hon. F. Scott, M.P.,
in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that
it was now his duty to inform them of the result of the
poll that had been demanded upon the question of
whether the direction should consist of 13 or 14 gentle-
men

The number who voted in favour of the board
consisting of 14 amounted to 13,566, and the number
who voted in favour of 13 was 19,542, showing a ma-
jority of 5,976 votes in favour of having 13 directors at
the board. With regard to the number of proxies,
there were 12,521 votes recorded in favour of having 14
directors, and 17,650 in favour of the number being 13.
Of those who voted in person, 1,045 votes were recorded
in favour of the number being 14 ; and 1,392 votes in
favour of the number being 13. The result was, in
round numbers, a majority of 6,000 votes in favour of
the board consisting of 13 members. This would leave
them three vacancies to fill up.

Mr. BAKER moved a resohition to the effect that the
meeting do now proceed with the election of three di-
rectors, which having been seconded,

Mr. HERAPATH said, he would move the following
amendment :—" Considering that.the hoard of directors
introduced into an act of Parliament, 11th' and 12th
Victoria, chap. 125, sec. 53, passed in 1848, a clause
which enacts ' that every auditor shall at and for 12
months previous to the time of his election, and during
all such time as he shall continue an auditor, possess in
his own right at least 1,0001, Of the consolidated stock
of the company, or shares in the undertalcing on which
that full amount shall have been paid up ;' considering,
also, that a committee of shareholders, appointed on the
28th day of November,,lB49, justly concluding the prin-
ciple thus affirmed by the board to be at all events ap-
plicable with far greater force' in 'the case of directors,
unanimously concurred in the followino. recoinnaendation:
That every director shall at and for 12 months pre-
vious to the time of his election, and during all such
time as he shall continue a director, possess in his own
right at least 2,0001. of the consolidated non-preferential
stock of the company, or unguaranteed shares in the
undertaking on which that amount shall have been paid
up ;' it is the opinion of this meeting that none of the
present candidates have any claims which should exempt
then from the operation of this general principle, nor
can any of them properly be considered eligible for the
office of director who have not been shareholders in the
company for; 42 months at least."
Mr. PUNCHER seconded the amendment.

This led to a warm and rather personal discussion,
but ultimately the amendment was withdrawn, and the
motion for proceeding with the election of three directors
was carried.

_______
On putting the names to the meeting there appeared
45 in favour of Count Eyre, 49 for Mr. M. Uzielli, 15
for Mr. Helps, 35 for Captain Johnston, 28 for Mr.
Kay, and 10 for Mr. Snell.
The CHAIRMAN then declared that Count Eyre, Mr.
Uzielli, and Captain Johnston were elected directors.
Mr. HELPS demanded a poll.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that as a poll had
been demanded the votes would be taken that day up
to 5 o'clock, and again on Monday, at the York-road
offices of the company, from 10 to 4 o'clock, and the
result would be declared at the offices, York-road, on
Wednesday, at 3 o'clock. The next business was the
election of an auditor. Mr. Close retired by rotation,
and was eligible for re-election.
The motion for the re-election of Mr. Close was put.
After some observations, in the course of which Mr.
PUNCHER expressed his hostility to the board, a show of
hands was taken, and Mr. Close was declared to be re-
elected.

A poll was demanded, and it was arranged that it
should be carried on simultaneously with that for the
directors, and be declared at the same time.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.
