LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE.

The half-yearly meeting of this,company was ap-
pointed to be held on Tuesday at the offices, Coleman-
street-buildings, but from the insufficient attendance of
shareholders the meeting could not be legally constituted.
After waiting the usual time (one hour) the CEAIR-
MAN, attended by the directors, took the chair, and
stated that, although they could not transact any busi-
ness, if any of the shareholders present required infor-
mation respecting the undertaking he and the directors
would answer any questions they might think proper to
ask them.

The Rev. Mr. Clarke, Mr. Butts, the Rev. Mr. Tooke,
and Mr. Gladdish put several questions to thei chairman
with regard to the position of the company, which were
all answered satisfactorily.
The report stated, that the directors have to lament
that the calls have not been duly responded to, and that
consequently they have been unable to proceed with the
works in the manner recommended in t
the

They have directed their attention to
the expenses and the liquidation of liabilities. tie
rangement respecting the purchase of the 2,000 acres of
land is being carried out. The litigation with Mr.
Dimsd ale is still pending. Should the application to.
Government for a loan be successful, it will be necessary
for the proprietors in arrear to pay up 20,0001. to reach
the position of having one half the capital paid up; and
as the good arrears exceed that amount the directors feel
that in justice :to, those who have paid it will be neces.
sary to enforce .at once all sums now in arrear. The
directors have declared 820 shares forfeited for non-
payment of calls, upon which 10,6551. has been paid,
which, in addition to the amount previously received
upon forfeited shares, makes a sum of 14,6301., upon
which no dividend will ever have to be paid. The
acconets to the 31st of January show that 230,0091. had
been received, and 229,2751. expended, leaving a balance
of 730/.
