Mr. LEATHAM, a local director, and Sir R. FERGUSON,
M.P., advocated the progression of the works as speedily as
yet construca.ed, the tradic would be increased, and when the
whole length was completed, they believed the line would
turn out as profitable as any one in Ireland.
The CitAIRMAN moved. a resolution, confirming the for-
feiture of shares on which the first call had not been paid,
the whole number being 533, which having been carried,
The CHAIRMAN afterwards moved a vote of thanks to Sir
Robert Ferguson, Deputy-Lieutenant of the county of Kerry,
for his valuable services to their line both in and out of Par
!lament.
;ti FEttGus:-4:; r:::turned thank:, and assured tiv.
prieors that the line, es being beneficial to the county with
which he was connected, and the city which he represented,
would always have his support and best wishes.
Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the meet-
ing separated.

LONDON AND MANCHESTER
DIRECT INDEPENDENT RAILWAY COAI-
- (REMINGTON'S LINE).—(THIS DAY.)
In conformity with a requisition, signed by nine share-
holdersof the abovelcompany, the provisional committee con-
vened a meeting of the shareholders to-day, pursuant to
the provisions of the Railway Companies Dissolution Act, to
take into consideration whether the company should be dis •
solved, and in what manner its affairs should be wound up.
Mr. BROOKS took the chair, and called upon the solicitor
to read the notice calling the meeting, which being done,
The CHAIRMAN said the next business would be the ap-
pointment of the scrutineers.
A PROPRIETOR then said that he stool there as the pre.
prietor of 120 shares, which he purchased at 1/. premium, and
he was surprised that none of the parties who could give ex-
planations were there to make them. He wanted to know
what had become of the funds?
The Cir.unduAN said that he himself was in a similar predi-
cament. He could give them some information, but he did not
promise to satisfy them. The only information he could
give them was this, that they would have nothing more to
par.—(Laughter.) He had no report to give them.
A PROPRIETOR.--Will the directors make no report ?

The CHAIRMAN—We have no report to give.
A PROPRIETOR said, if the chairman had a secret to tell,
he ought to throw himself in the hands of the meeting, who
would protect him from the consequence of disclosing it.
The CHAIRMAN would give no further information.
A PROPRIETOR again asked if a report, or offer, was to be
mar

Ade by the directors, or not?
The CHAIRMAN said, that he had 800 shares allotted to
him, and he never sold a share at a premium. He sold them
at 163. 6d. a share.
A PROPRIETOR wanted to know if an offer had not been
made by certain directors of 7s. 6sl. per share?
BAss, a director, replied that that offer had been made
by some of the directors on account of certain shares.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to the frequent calls made upon
him by several shareholders to account for the money, said
that he had no report to give. The law-suits in which the
company were engaged made this course necessary.
Mr. BASS said that no one would be more delighted than
he would to see the accounts in the bands of the share-
holders. When a deputation of the shareholders was ap-
pointed at a former meeting to confer with the directors as to
the affairs of the company, he was in favour of the propo-
sition; but some difficulty arose in carrying out this object,
owing to the absence from Englandof a director, and to actions
pending at the time in the courts of law. This course, how-
ever, did not obtain his full assent, but the majority of the
directors then ruled what should take place. With regard
to contributions, he thought, for the sake of peace, the direc-
tors would make some contribution, but after conferring with
some of them he saw they could not obtain a sum sufficient
to meet the expectations of the shareholders. Under these
circumstances, he, from representations made to him by the
Chairman of the company, made an offer of 7s. 6d. a share to
4,000 or 5,000 shares out of the 51,000. With regard to the
of the company, they were in a mutilated state, and
besetretary of the company had been out of the way for the
last six months.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY entered into a lengthened statement
of the particulars of the meeting in July last, when the de-
putation of shareholders was appointed to confer with the
directors as to the affairs of the company, which exertions
were altogether abortive. He acquitted Mr. Bass, Mr. Brooks,
and a few other of the directors, but the treat bulk of the
committee men would make no sacrifice to meet the wishes of

the shareholders' deputation.
A PROPRIETOR asked Mr. Bass if, in the event of his
buying up the 6,000 share, at 7s. 6d. he would give his assist-
ance to get the affairs of the Company into bankruptcy, with
a view of dissolving the Company.
Mr. Bess replied, that as an individual, he was quite
agreeable to the shares being used in that way, and he was
real), to render every assistance is his power.
Scrutineers were then appointed, and after the lapse of
an hour, spent in examining the scrip, reported that there
were—

.._. _
For the dissolution 7lO shares
Against ditto 18,085
For bankruptcy

And thus ended one of the most noisy, angry,
meetings we have ever attended.

ROBBERY OF 801. BY A PAUPER.—Thursday the
police received information that a pauper, named George, an
inmate of Clerkenwell workhouse, had committed a rob-
bery of 801. It appears that George had often been entrusted
with small sums to pay tradesmen, and on Wednesday he
was sent with a cheque of the above sum to settle some
accounts, none of which have been liquidated, Nothing bad
been heard of him up to last night. George was formerly.a
tradesman in the parish, and hence the confidence placed in
him on various occasions.
