A meeting of the Proprieters in the above Company
was held in the London Tavern this day.
Sir GEORGE LARPENT took the Chair a one o'clock
and said, that being a General Special Meeting,
there
were no minutes to be read. Having read the letter
calling the meeting, he said he had to inform the
Proprietors that since their last meeting their solicitors,
Mr. Stevens and Mr. Maitland, had retired—the former
on account of advanced age, and the latter because of the
distance of his offices. The Directors had appointed Mr.
Freshfield their solicitor, and he trusted the appoint-
ment of so talented and respectable, a man would
give satisfaction to the proprietors. The Directors had
unanimously awarded their thanks to their late solicitors,
and he, read letters from them in acknowledgement of
the resolution.
Mr. RICARDO, the Chairman of a Committee of Proprie-
tors, appointed toConsider of the conduct and accounts of
the Directors, &e., then read the report. It stated that they
were appointed at aspecial meeting in June la ;t, to consider
the accounts, and the best mode of closing the business
of the Company; or- Otherwise. It appeare'd to the Com-
mittee that the main object was to determine on the re-
commendation they should give their fellow proprietors
with respect to the future operations of the Company,
and more especially on the important question
of closing the works. The Company had been formed
in 1825, but they had not thought it part of their duty
to ,go in detail through all the accounts from that time..
They had examined and verified the statement made by
the Directors at the last meeting, and they felt them-
selves compelled to report that the books appeared to
have been kept with great care and correctness. Most of
the evils under which the Company had suffered, and
were suffering, arose out of the ruinous engagements
contracted in 1825. On the formation of the Com-
pany they involved it in litigation that was unex-
ampled in this country, and consequently entailed upon
them these enormous expences. 'The judgment of the
House of Lords reversing that Af"'Lord -.Lynd-
hurst, _was. wholly nnexpected- brany party, but it
made a difference in the cash funds of the
Company to the amount of 850,0001. After the judg-
ment of the House of Lords, an agreement was entered
into with Mr. Attwood, and the Committee reported that
under all the then circumstances .of the Company it was
the best thing that could be done. The Directors, however,
were placed in circumstances of very great difficulty by
the non-payment of calls upon shares, which
ditii-
culties tended to depreciate the value of their pro-
perty. Upon a consideration .of the cost of making
and the price of iron, they were of opinion that a
profit of 39,50 q. - might still be made if the works
were in full operation—still, considering the whole
of the circumstances in which they were placed,
the Committee, although the works might be carried on
by other parties to considerable profit, they were of
opinion that it was their duty to recommend the final
dissolution of the Company, as soon as it -was possible
to sell the works without suffering the loss necessarily
attendant upon a forced sale ; this to be carried into
effect by a Committee of Proprietors co-operating with
the Directors. In order to effect such a desirable object
it was necessary that the works should be carried •on in
full action; and that could only be done by the Proprietors
paying up their calls. The Hon. Gentleman said much as

misapprehension appeared to prevail among the Proprie-
tors in relation to their individual liabilitj, the Committee
inquired and found that everything that had been done
was with the full sanction of the Proprietors, and upon
their votes the credit of the Court was pledged ; there-
fore they were individually, morally, and in honour,
as well as legally, liable for all that was owing.
No steps could be taken for the sale of the
property while the Company were involved as they
now were; and as they were threatened with another
suit in Chancery, it was most important that immediate
steps should be taken. The Committee could not close
their labours without freeing the Directors from asper-
sions cast upon them for errors committed sixteen years
ago. They were of opinion that they were fully entitled
to the thanks of the Proprietors.
The CHAIRMAN said, before any motion was put, or
they entered into any discussion upon the Report, he
begged to state that it was as entirely unknown to him-
self and the other Directors as to any one in the room.
They had abstained from interfering in any way with the
Committee, as they were anxious only that the I'roprietors
should be satisfied. He had to propose that the Report
just read be received, printed, and circulated amongst
the Proprietors. It would scarcely be possible that they
should discuss a Report which they could not possibly
understand.

Mr. HORSLEY PALMER, Deputy Chairman, seconded
the motion. It was necessary that all parties should
have time carefully to consider a document of such vast
importance.

Major RICHARDSON did not mean to discuss the ques-
tion now, but he thought it was too long to allow the
matter to stand over, till November. They ought to have a
Special Meeting within a month, and he would mme
accordingly.
Mr. RICARDO—The recommendation of the Commit-

tee was framed so as, if possible, to avoid these conti-
nual special meetings. The general meeting might be
held within five or six weeks.

Major RICHARDSON had no-objection to wait that time.
.The CHAIRMAN said, if they fixed upon six weeks from
that time all the accounts would be ready.
Major RICHARDSON thougH that an object worth wait-
ing for, and had no objection to the postponement.
The CHAIRMAN said the great object was to have all
the accounts ready, and the Secretary said it would take
till very nearly the middle of November. He therefore
proposed that the meeting should tabs place on or before
the 20th of November.

A PROPRIETOR objected to the word " received " in
the resolution. He did not think the Report of the
Committee had yet been received.
The CHAIRMAN said the resolution was in the very
words of the advertisement calling the meeting. They
were to receive or reject the Report of the Committee.
The resolution was then put and agreed to unani-
mously._

Mr. JACKSON complained of the manner in which
the Report had been got up. It had been prepared to
meet the views of the Directors, who had appointed their
personal friends on the Committee.—(Loud cries
of "No, no.") He should forego his rights as a
partner, and forfeit his independence as a man,
if he consented to receiving the Report. If
it should come into his possession, he should tear it
to pieces, and trample it under his feet.—(Hisses, and
cries of " Shame !") Ile was not satisfied with the ap-
pointment of Mr. Freslifield, and should move a Com-
mittee upon the subject. The Directors had no right to
make that appointment without consulting the Share-
holders. The statements of the report were full of mis-
statements, and was a disgrace to them. He complained of
the manner in which the meetinghad treated thegentleman
near him (Major Richardson). They had met his ob-
servations with marked scorn and contempt.
Major RICIIARDSON—That I deny. I totally deny it.
—(Cheers.)

Mr. JAcisoN resumed.—The calls made by the Direc-
;ors were illegal, and he or his friends should never pay

Major RICHARDSON said, as some of his friends
seemed to have an idea • that the receiving the report
would be in some way binding upon them, he begged to
say that they were not bound by the- resolution, but
would discuss the report at the next meeting.—(llear.)
The CHAIRMAN presumed, that having agreed to a
resolution to discuss the Report at their next meeting,
they would not now entertain the resolution, of which
notice had been given, for the immediate dissolution of
the Company, as that would.be at variance with the one
that had just been passed.
Mr. WlLKpcsolg said, as the Report had only been
read once to the meeting, it was important that the
portion of it referring to the dissolution of the Company
should be distinctly- understood, as it might otherwise
prejudice, their interests. lie wished to know whether
the Report did not distinctly recommend that no steps
should be taken that would interfere with the carrying
on the business of the Company ?
_

Mr. RICARDO said the Hen. Gentleman was perfectly
correct. It recommended that the operations of the
Company should be carried on exactly as if they were to
continue the Company in iLi'present form. .
Mr. HortsLEY PALMER thought it of very great im-
portance that that should be distinctly imderstood, be-
cause the value of mineral property was greatly affected
by the permanency and character of the works._
(Hear, hear.) Although the works and property of the
Company were of considerable value, it would be
perhaps impossible, under such circumstances, to
get any person to purchase it. If the works
were suddenly stopped in the first instance it
would- totally destroy the value of the property.—
(Hear, hear, hear.) If it were practicable to dis-
solve and provide for the liabilities of the Company it
would certainly be the shortest way, but that it was im-
possible to do, and they must go on with it until they
found buyers who would carry it on on their own ac-
count. The Cougreave Works had obtained. a high
name and character in the trade, but
.if they were
suddenly stopped it would destroy their value as a
property to a great extent.—(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN', to prevent misconception, would
read the passage in. the Report :—"lt is necessary,.
however, that the works should be maintained in com-
plete action to prevent their, deterioration pending their
sale, or any other final 'arrangement respecting them, and
consequently that orders for iron should be taken as
heretofore, and any portion of these orders remaining
over should be provided for in the conditions. of sale."------
(Hear, hear.) Now, he thought that recommendation
1. xtremely necessary, considering the large orders for
bnutt manageuuder these works
admitted that they
iron they received, and the extensive value of their busi-
ness,' and it would be extremely injudicious to 'throw
any doubts upon the character of the. works, • It did-

stances, in which the
.Company were placed—after the
litigation which had lasted for so many years, and the
great expense entailed on them, it would appear as
if they were not the instruments by which these works
could be carried on with advantage. He hoped it would
not go -forth to their rivals in trade that they might
have these works for nothing, or that they would be
taken altogether out of the field of competition, because
if they did that they would be doing the greatest injury
to their oWit -property. When the iron trade was in a
healthy condition he had no doubt but the profits on
these works would be very- considerable.

DYE; the only Dye that really answers for all colours, and
does not require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never
fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to
all other dyes.—Ross and Sons can with the greatest confi-
dence recommend the above Dye as infallible, if done at their
establishment.; and Ladies or Gentlemen requiring it are re•
quested to bring their friends or servants with them to see the
operation, which will enable them to do it afterwards without
the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted
entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment
having used it, the effect it produces can be at once seen.—
