LONDON AND GREENWICH RAIL
WAY-MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS.

The Iles. li. BAss,tt-rr said, it was desirable that measures should be

adopted to remedy the dissensions which had occurred among the Diree
tors.— (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say there had been manifested

a system of secrecy mast ill judged.—(Hear.) What confidence could
be placed in such a body, and was it wonderful that the Company's
stuck had been depreciated ?—( Hear.) In future he hoped the prin-
ciple cf publicity—of setting aside all mystery and subterfuge—would
be adhered to—and was persuaded that if so, the most beneficial results
would follow.—(Hear.) It was, perhaps, desirable that the: Committee
►heuld examine the affairs of the Company, If such a Committee
were appointed ; at the same time he was disposed to admit that the Coin-
mittee was not absolutely necessary.

Mr. WITEELEit wished to know what the Committee was for 1 He
felt it necessary that a Committee should be appointed that knew some-
thing about accounts. The accounts of the Company, which he held in
hi+ hand, would disgrace a chandler's shop.—(Hear.)
One of the Auntroas begged to say, on bAalf of himself and brother
auditors, that they had not passed these accounts.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN observed that a Committee would be advantageous to
Decide between the two conflicting parties in the Direction.

Mr. Putw.orrs expressed a similar opinion. He was not satisfied
with the account.. which had been presented.—(Hear.) He was at a lose
to understand how the debts of a Companycould beset down as its assets,
end in this light he viewed the bonds wine(' in these accounts were put
down to the credit of the Company,—though not issued.—(Hear, hear.)
Seeing that the Directors were pulling different ways, and therefore
suede no progress—although admitting that none of those gentlemen were
actuated by improper motives—.he should feel it right to move that a
Committee of five (to be appointed by the Meeting) be named, to ems.
mine into the affairs of the Company—and to frame a set or instructions
for the regulation of the Directors, if approved of by a general meeting.
The Rev. Mr. BASINE rr seconded the motion.

;NW' THORNHILL said the dissension was between the Chairman and
Dcputy Chairman, and between Mr. Macdonald and the Chairman and
not among the Directors themselves.

The CHAIRMAN objected to Names beins mentioned, but could state
that the differences were not confined to the persons who bad beefs re.
ferret to.

Mr. WIBBLIR said it was most extraordinary that rules should be
laid down by certain persons for dictation to the Directors let the
Committee report upon the affairs ofthe Company—not to dictate to the
Directors.
Mr. P 1111.111.0111 remarked the instructions were first to be ratified
by a general meeting of shareholders.
Mr. Wlllllll.llll said he should object to that, for rules that were ad.
visable to day might be wrong to.mortow, and would it not be unwise
to tie the Directors down to a certain line of conduct ? How were the
Austrian Generals formerly beaten by Napoleon ? Why, because fixed
rules were laid down by the Aulic Council for the regulation of their
Generals, from which they dared not, under any eircumstances, deviate.
Mr. GOLDSMTD said this had been one of the worst managed concerns
ever known.—(Hear.) The accounts were exceedingly mystified, and
very ill calculated to afford in formation.—( Hear.) He therefore thought
a Committee should be appointed to examine into the past management
of the Company's affairs, in order to better management for the future.—
kHear.) If the Railway were not judiciously finished, other Companies
might, with something of fairness, come to Parliament and ask for other
termini of their own, saying that those of the Greenwich were inefficient.
It was most desirable that public confidence should be restored to the
Company, by settling its affairs on a firm and stablefoundation ; and to
to that end he recommended the formation of a Committee.—(Hear.)
Cot LAaDMANN (the Company's Engineer) said he wished to state
the truth ; and certainly the Railway was not finished from Londou
to Deptford. At the same time the work was stable enough, as had
been reported by Mr. J Walker, a first-rate and experienced engineer.
Mr. GoLusnici asked if the drainage should not in works of this
description be attended tc

Colonel LANDX.I:IN said in almost all such works the water would
pour down in grcatrr quantities than at this Railway, as in Lanca-
shire, at Newton, or at Waterloo Bridge. Still it would be well, as soon
foi possible, to remedy the imperfect drainage at this Railway, not so
Much that it was unsafe, as that it was unsightly.
Mr. Puttu•orr contended the Railway was finished to Deptford, for
Carriages ran thereto.

Colonel LANDMAN,' said the reason water ram, was that the Ittilway
was not yet (as he should say) finished.

Mr. Nuasit; considered a Committee ought to be appointed, not for
regulation, but fur inre.tigation, and perhaps to report to a general
tneetinz the meazut cz: they &mull ativisalJte in future.

The pier. Mr. ausa (AO believe) sugge.deal whether the Committee
should not be appointed, to examine and report whether the regulations
fixed by Act of Parliament had been compiied with by the Directors.
Mr. PrziLtrorrs gaid, no particular rul,s had been laid down by Act of
Parliament.

Ur. WowLva wislicd Phllloatts' motion to be withdrawn, After
the declaration or the Chairman, it was manifest a lk tier system of ruka
could be del i,cal than had been announced by that gentleman.
'Money, it appezkred, acted upon the only honest principles; thereon."
Mr. Money's opponent+ must be acting upon dishonest principle -_.
(Cries of " Que,t,cn,"T" Order," and " Hear.")
'Ph• Cl:tams,: pbserved he quite allowed the gncd Intentions of his
opottents.—; Hear.)

Mr. WOULFF. Wtibetl, after the Chairman had spoken so much in self.
praise, to hear other, dissenting, Directors state their viers.
Mr. J. Wii.soN recommended a ciec7i-dcu to be arrived at one way or
another,—either by appointing a Cdunniti ce,—nr giving tl.econthience of
the 'meting to the Directors,—only pasairg a vote of censure upon one
or both of the dissenting parties 14 the. Direction.—(Hear, hear.) Ho
was in favour of the Committe,,,—let the question be at once put and de.
cided, or the meetiog would be useless.—(" Hear.")
Amid cries of" Questltin,"
Mr. YATIN rose, and said no dissension existed in Ce Direction as to
the principles laid down by Mr. Money, but that was quite a new
light which had broken in upon that gentleman, who had not formerly
been so very as•erse to stockbroking as he now appeared to be, for he had
suggested that kind of measure himself—.(" No, no,'' from the Chair.

longevity prevails around. Snow is all but a stranger there. The
Upper Grove is a Farm House, suited to a gentleman's temporary
