WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK-
LOW, and DUBLIN RAILWAY.--(THIS DAY,)
An adjourned meeting of this company was held at the
Office, 449, West Strand ; Lord Courtown in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN announced the state of the poll taken last
evening, and declared the directors' motion, empowering the
directors to go to Parliament for a Bill amending the last
year's Act, to be carried by a majority of 775 votes.
Messrs. RSYNOLD and DICKSON, in lug speeches, pro-
tested against the announcement.
The SECRETARY then read the directors' report. It stated
that the company had obtained their Act last session, em-
powering the construction of the line from Dublin and the
port of Kingstown to Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow, as
proposed, except the small part from Dublin to Dundrum,
granted to another company ; that they had entered into
arrangements for that part of the line, and for the extension
of the terminus to St. Stephen's-green, Dublin, with the
Dublin, Dundrum, and Rathfarnham Company ; with the
Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Junction Company, respecting
the line connecting the town of Carlow with the port of
Wexford; and with the Dublin and Kingstown Company
for the extension of their line from the port of Kingatown to
the Bridge of Bray; that the directors recommended the
construction forthwith of fifty miles of the line, viz., from
Kingstown to Bray, 7 miles; from the Wexford, Carlow,
and Dublin line at Enniscorthy to Wexford and the Packet
Station in South Bay, 26 miles; and from Bray to Wicklow,
17 miles; that the Great Western and the South Wales
Companies give their assistance to this line and hold one-
fourth of their shares.
The accounts subjoined to the report showed receipts from
deposits of 1/. 10s. per share, amounting to 112,779/. ; expen-
diture, 39,8531. 16s. 4d. ; leaving a balance in hand of
72,9251. 3s. Bd.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that it was not the intention of
the directors to make the calls of which they had given no-
tice in the report. He then moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. SAINSBURY seconded the resolution.
Mr. REYNOLD asked what was the amount of the out-
standing liabilities.
The SECRETARY—Not above 7,0001. up to the present time.
Mr. REYNOLD, after adverting to a variety of topics in a
very long speech, moved, as an amendment, that the accounts
rendered were not satisfactory, as being too general, and,
therefore, that the meeting should be adjourned for a week,
and Mr. Reynold and a gentleman to be named by the
directors, should be appointed to investigate the accounts
and report at next meeting.
Mr. DICKsON, in a long speech, reviewed the whole history
of the company, and seconded the amendment.
After a good deal of discussion and recrimination, through
a course of four hours,
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, and after a show of
hands declared it to-be lost. _ _

Mr. RZYNOLD and Dr. GRAY declared that the clerks in
the office had voted, and demanded a poll.
Mr. HAYTER said the clerks in question were registered
shareholders. _

The CHAIRMAN intimated that the clause in the report
announcing that a call would be made this month of 11. lOs.,
and of 1/. in November next, would be retained.
The poll was then opened till six o'clock this evening, and
The third day's meeting was adjourned till to-morrow, at
eleven o'clock.
