A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yes-
terday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a
report from the committee of management, and adopting the
best means of winding up the affairs of the company. ,
MATTHEW PIERREPOINT, Esq., took the chair.
The CHAIRMAN then said that the report that would
be submitted to the meeting would embrace all
the details of the proceedings of the managing commit-
tee since last December twelvemonths. By a reference
to the report then made, it would be seen that full powers
were given to the managing committee to wind up the
affairs of the company, and nothing had given them
greater regret than not having been able to call the
shareholders together before. But the delay that
had taken place had been occasioned by their having
had some disagreeable persons to deal with. The
object of the managing committee was entirely the welfare
of the shareholders, and if they had had only their
own concerns to settle in this matter, the affairs would
have been arranged long since. They had, however,
arranged every matter but the account of Mr. Brewer.
There would be a full statement in the report, and it would
be for them to decide whether-the sum demanded should or
should not be paid to Mr Brewer.—(Hear, hear.)
The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it ap-
peared that in compliance with the resolutions that had been
passed at a meeting in December, 1845, the first instalment
of 30s. per share on the deposits had been paid, and that it
was owing to the neglect of the parties themselves that fur-
ther instalments had not been made before. The committee
had presented a memorial to Parliament, the prayer of which
was ultimately refused, and actions were then commenced
against the committee by several individuals, who had
alleged demands on the company for work done
by them for the company. The committee had
'o'f.—iii2vii.sruecv,cpeerd,edbyin settling all claims except that
'."lP.'""`" ^c 10s. in the
pound. The assets, including deposits, 79,957/. 103.,
and the interest on the same, amounted to 80,2261. Is.,
and after deducting the disbursements, which in-
cluded 5,9111. 3s. to the silicitor, to the engineer
7,000/., and other expenses o!' the company 1,397/. Bs.,
there remained a balance of 8,669/. 10s. 4d., subject to the
claim of Mr. Brewer. The report, after deploring the death
of Mr. Bridges, concluded by stating that the committee
had hitherto acted gratuitously, and were now desirous
.of
being relieved from further trouble.

The CHAIRMAN said, if this money were paid to Mr.
Brewer there would remain over 3s. per share for each
shareholder; if that demand were not paid there would re-
main ss. 3d. a share to the shareholders.
Mr. COWAN moved a resolution'to the effect that the re-
port then read be adopted.
Mr. COLLINGWOOD seconded the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to some questions, stated that
15,000 shares were allotted, out of which, he was informed,
that 1,600 were taken up. Mr. Brewer had not taken up
the shares that had been allotted to him; in fact, ho would
not take these shares, nor allow others to take them.
Mr. WILMOTT moved an amendment to the effect that
five shareholders, exclusive of the committee, should be ap-
pointed to investigate the accounts, to report the same to:a
meeting of the shareholders, or that a fund should be formed
for the purpose of bringing the matter before the Court of
Chancery.
Mr. JEWERSON seconded the amendment.

A long discussion ensued, which terminated in Mr.
Jewerson declining to continue his support to the amend-
ment, which then fell to the ground.
The original resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously.
The-CHAIRMAN said, the next question upon which they
were to decide was with respect to Mr. Brewer. That gen-
tleman had steed, in the ever of being defeated at common
law, that he wou'd go into the Court of Chancery.
Some discussion followed as to the propriety of paying, or
resisting Mr. Brewer's demand, and the latter course finally
determined upon.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the
affairs of the company were in a most flourishing condition.
The CILURMAN stated that it was the intention of the
'tractors to declare a dividend of 1/. per share.
It was then proposed, and resolved unanimously, that

ille, and John Heurdes Ravenshaw, , be re-elected
lirectors of the company.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the company had effectuated
their final arrangements with the Government, and they
would have their title deeds made out in a very short time.
—(Hear, hear.) The board could not refrain from thanking
Earl Grey for the liberal manner in which he had acted.
The directors had remaining to their credit a nett balance for
the past year of 8,2021.
A SHAREHOLDER desired to know what would be the
amount of cash rest at the bankers after the dividend had
been paid?

T 11; CHAIRMAN replied about 5,0001. The cash balance on
the 31st of December, 1845, was 2,860/.155. sd. ; the nett pro-

LINCOLN. SIR E• BULWER LYTTON.--The Line° 1n
Times states that there is no truth in the report that Sir E.
L. Bulwer Lytton will, offer himself as a candidate for the
next election: he ma, perhaps, be proposed and seconded,
but we believe it will be against the wish of the Honourable
Baronet, who, it is understood, has determined to stand for
Hertfordshire, with every chance of success; it is not, there-
fore, likely that he will put himself in the position to be
again defeated in Lincoln.
bu We should very
at much rejoisice to
o
see Sir Edward here again, t fear ti
chance of his coming.
DARING ROBBERY.—Yesterday information was
received at all the metropolitan police-stations of the follow-
ing daring and extensive robbery, committed early on the
morning of Wednesday last, from a bedroom in the Royal
Oak Jim, Croydon, the property of Mrs. Henning, the land-
lady :-50/. in Bank of England notes ; 45/. in gold, includ-
ing an old guinea; Si. in silver, two fourpenny pieces, with
holes in each ; twelve silver teaspoons, four marked " M. H.,"
one " J. C." and the others not marked, and a double cased
silver watch. The robbery was committed by two strangers,
who slept in an adjoining room; one from twenty to thirty
years of age, tall, black whiskers, thin face, dressed in a dark
brown great coat, light coloured wrapper, with dark spots,
round his neck, and black hat with crape round it ; the other
about twenty-five years of age, not so tall as the former, fair
complexion, and dressed in a drab coat, and bad the appear-
ance of a horse-dealer or cabman.
