CHARING - CROSS BRIDGE COM

- - - -
PANY.—(TIIIS DAY.)
At a special meeting of this company held to-day,
and which lasted nearly the whole of the afternoon,
Mr. W. Hawes in the chair, resolutions were agreed
to to the effect that the contract with Messrs. Jackson
should be rescinded, and that the directors should be
empowered to raise 20,0001. by new shares, for the
purpose of discharging their liabilities. The Hun-
gerford Market Company, on the understanding that
the new shares should only be used as security for
the money so to be raised, and not disposed of to the
depreciation of the old shares, had consented to with-
draw their opposition on this matter; and both Mr.
Hawes and Mr. Stutely (the chairman of the Market
Company), expressed a confident hope that all mis-
understandings were at an end, and that both com-
panies should proceed in harmony together, their in-
terests being identical.

THE MONETARY CRISIS IN SOUTHAMPTON.-It iS
but just to the large mercantile and trading firms of
Southampton, that we should notice the mischievous,
though happily unfounded, reports that have crept into
circulation affecting the stability of establishments of long
standing, and of individuals of abundant means to meet
their engagements three-fold. The banks of the town have
acted with considerable liberality wherever required—
but in no case have their judicious and valuable services
been improperly asked for; and we believe we may point
to Southampton as singularly favoured at this extraordi-
nary period of monetary pressure. Business seems to
have been conducted with a provident forethought
which has rendered the storm that has shattered so many
old-established houses in London and other ports, com-
paratively inocuous at Southampton,—.Hampshire Ad.
