pany) to carry out their suggestion, anti take np theirs, -
which were offered on terms the most favourable, and
he could only, add to what had been said the re- '
port, that it appears that the traffic will fully
~;ustify
the favourable views expres§'ed of their undertaiNng,
and also' justify the shareholders in taking the ne-w
shares. Their engineer was present, and would
answer any question that had reference to his depart-
ment, and if there. were no objection, he (the Chair-
man) should propose to the meeting the adoption of
the report.
In reply to a variety of questions from Mr. IlEx-
MAN,
The CHAIRMAN said, with re and to the opening
g
of the line, there were between Conway and Chester
some of the heaviest works, but every effort would be
made to open it in October ncxt. With regard to
the observation of the Hon. Proprieior with referencie
to their resident director, he couldsay that the
services of Captain Moorsom were ino,!t valuable.
Th (the directors) had received constant reports
fromthat gentleman, and they were much indebted
to him for the vigilance he had shown. With resp;ct
to the other interrogatory of the Honourable
Proprietor, he had only to state that the unpaid

no longer allowed, it was scarcely worth while to
make any observations. . Tie want of confidence,
which they all deeply deplored, would nodoubtt
speedily dissipated, when the affairs and position of
the company were really understood. He had stated
that the traffic justified their expectations, and he
hoped that would restore confidence.
Mr. STEPHENSON said that he had read the letter
of General Pasley on 'the subject of the bridge, and
he saw nothing in that letter that required a rep`ly.
The writer made a detailea*statement of conversation's
that had taken place between himself and another
gentleman on the question which he referred to,
but there was not a single observation that disap-
proved of the principle upon which the
bridge was to be constructed, and the only
points to which he objected was as to the man-
, ner in which it was to be raised. There were
only two or three • persons in the country sv4,o
were acquainted with his plans, therefore General
Pasley could not possibly know what those plans
were ; but he (Mr. Stephenson) was ready to explain
them to any one in that room who could understand.
them. He intended to hzkve that bridge supported on
chains, and it was only in the method of raising it
that General Pasley saw anything to ctndemn. The
apprehensions that existed on this matter were en-
tirely vague, and had no foundaden whatever but in
the feelings that were entertained towards what was
considered a novelty,. though it was merely the

nv.ersation
appeared that General Pasley had some co:
s
with Captain Moorsom on the question ; ~.,ut the
latter gentleman, though he might have a genseral
idea of his plan, was' not acquainted with the
details, and therefore was not competent to offer any'
opinion upon it. He thought that, under these cir-
cumstances, it was very unwarrantable on the
part of General Pasley to make • the comraentS
he had done on a work of such importance,
and upon which so. much anxiety was felt by those
interested in it. With respect to the other letter re-,
ferred to, signed " A Mathema:ician," the signature
was one that the writer had no right to assume.—(A
laugh.) lie (the mathematician) sa,.'d that the vibra-
tion would convert the wrought iron into cast iron.
Why, he might as well have said that L'be vibration
of cast iron would convert it into plumbage.—(A
laugh.) The apprehensions, as he had already
on
stated, were quite unfounded, and in this opini
he was supported by some of the most eminent taa.the-
maticians of the day.
Captain Moonsoss here explained that he wag
ready to make any reports that were required, but
that it had been arranged that he should only report
to the directors, with whom he constantly com-
municated. General Pasley had altogether naisree
presented what he had said to him, and as far as he
understood the plans of Mr. Stephenson he ap-
proved of them.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated that

Mr. STEPHENSON, in reply to soz..ne questions*
stated that the chains were not used for the purpose
of permanently supporting the tube, and tient the
vibration would not be felt. This would be
understood if they considered that 1,200 tons would
very easily resist 200 tons in a commensurate ratio.
The whole objections were made upon false data.
The CHAIRMAN then .proposed the next resolution,
which was to the effect that 42,000 new shares, in
shares of 151. each; should be issued, in the way re-
commended by the directors in their report, to be
_disposed of in the way the directors consider best for
the interests of the shareholders.
The resolution -was unanimously agreed to.
A resolution, to- apply to Parliamerzt for authority
to run ster-mers between. Holyhead and Dublin, was
also agreed to, after some discussion.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman a:id. the
other directors, and the-meeting separated.

Constantine, as well as the. officers of the Russian ,

yesterday evening as to prevent the royal visit'to the
Russian frigate. -Several attempts were made, but in '
consequence of the heavy wind and rain, a
broken
rough sea, and the pitching and rolling of the ship,
it was not deemed prudent for the Queen and the
ladies of the suite to leave the Fairy to be r

the Pallas, and .the Fairy could not go alongside
without risking the loss of her mast or funnel. About
five o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, 2.lttendid
by his equerries and Lord Adolphus Fitz-Clarence,
went on board the Pallas, and were received by the
Grand Duke Constantine, the Duke of Nassau, the
Baron Brunnow, and several members of the Russian
Embassy, Vice-Admiral Lutke, and Capt. Moffat, and
the officers of the ship. The Prince expressed ,to
his Imperial Highness. her Majesty's regret that the

unpropitious state. of.. the weather prevented her
Majesty from accepting the invitation—a
disappint-
ment felt by all parties. After going over the Pallas,
viewing the state cabins, &c., the illustrious party
returned to the Fairy.' 'The Grand Duke Constan-

on board the Fairy to take leave of her Majesty, and

`A S6HOONER Rux Dowx.—Letters have been re-
ceived announcing a fearful collision at sea, by which
the Albatross, belonging to Plymouth, was lost, and
nearly all the crew sacrificed. The vessel left Liverpool
for Lisbon on the 16th of April with a miscellaneous
cargo; the crew, .comprising the master, mate, and five
seamen. On the.night of the 21st, five days after she
had left Liverpool, a three masted vessel was observe
bearing down upon her. The crew attempted to, get
clear, but in a few moments the vessels came in contact
with frightful force, the bows of the larger ship cabratt
