the Stratford and Moreton Tramway, upon, the terms
stated, and under the powers contained in. the Act of
Incorporation of this company.
" Resolutions will be proposed to the meeting to
confirm an order of the directors, declaring the for-
feiture of 620 shares in the company for the non-
payment of calls. The directors have taken such
means as will insure the full payment- of calls in
respect of 150 of these shares, so that; no loss can
accrue to the company by the forfeitme of that
number; but although every effort has be eql made to
obtain the like payment on the remaining 4'470 shares,
they regret to say it has been without OR ct. The
resolution which will be submitted to the nx,eting for
the forfeiture of the 470 shares will place them in
the order and disposition of the directors, to, be dealt
with in such manner as they may deem most ad-
visable for your interests.

" Half of the capital authorised to be raised by the
act of incorporation having been now paid up, the
company is in a position to borrow the sum of
500,0001. on debentures. A resolution will be sub-
mitted to the meeting to grant the requisite authority
to the directors to exercise this power to such eaten
and such periods as they may think expedient.

The CHAIRMAN moved that the repo6rtB4,bseo9a dopted,
and circulated, on which
Mr. FIGGINS, of Smithfield, London, put a number
)f questions to the chair on the subject of fthe pro-
Fess of the works ; the cost, and the nature of the
1 ease to the Great Western Company ; and, in con-
Ausion, moved a resolution to the effect that the lease
hould not be ratified without the consent of the pro.
►rietors of this company given in public meeting.
The Chairman and Directors then entered into
c Ixplanation, stating that the agreement for a lease to
t he Great Western Railway Company was already a
'hiding agreement, and could not be repudiated. The
N hole circumstances of the rise and progress of this
c ompany, as they have already been detailed in the
n. rwspapers, were again opened. In the end, the
ps grties by whom the question was raised—a deputa-
tic s n of proprietors from Yorkshire—appeared to be
pre Ity well satisfied; and Mr. Figgins'sjarnendment,
ar bd also a resolution proposed by a Mr. White, were
w ithdrawn.

Resolutions for carrying out the recommendations
in . the directors' report were then passed. The dire
to is stated they should defer the next call as long as
pc f isible.--( Hear.) The meeting then broke up.

II iIRAIINGHAM, FRIDAY .—To-day the adjourned ex-
tra Andinary meeting of the proprietors of the above
co nupany took place at Dee's Royal Hotel.
At half-past two o'clock, Lord Hatherton, R. Spoo-
ne.r., Esq., M.P., W. Mathews, Esq., George Whate-
ley, Esq., and other gentlemen having arrived,
Mr. MATHEWS took the chair, and on doing so said,
the time had arrived when it was necessary to pro-
ceod to the business of the day. He should briefly
state that the present was an adjourned meeting from
one held in London on the 24th of July, and tha
obje ct of the present meeting was to proceed to the
discussion of questions then left unsettled. The open-
ing was in the hands of Mr. Mozley, and that gen-
tleman would now, perhaps, state the course he in—.
tended to pursue. _ .

111 r. MOZLEY then said the business to be done t
day would occupy their time only a very few minute s,
as it was his intention to move an adjournment until
Monday next. He should not, therefore, go into 1 .ny
of the unsettled questions, nor allude to matters
which he should have otherwise considered it his iluty
to notice. He would merely state that he now re-
reserved to himself the right to advert at the :next
meeting to proceedings which had taken place s ince
the adjournment. He should therefore at once move
that the present meeting be adjourned to Mon day
next, at Dee's Hotel, Birmingham, the chair bo be
taken at four o'clock. _ _ _

Mr. TURNER seconded the resolution, which was
carried, and the meeting separated.
