LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE.

The half-yeany 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 CHAIR-
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 an..wer any questions they might think proper to
ask them.

T d
_r
The Rev. Mr. Clarke, Mr. Butts, the Rev. Mr. Tooke,
an
Gladdish put several questions to the 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 dulyu responded to, and that
consequently they have beenn
tble to proceed with the
works in the manner recommended
the
last report.
They have directed their attention ton reductions of
the expenses and the liquidation of liabilitie The ar •
rangement respecting the purchase of the 2,000.
acres of
land is being carried out. The litigation with Mr.
Dimsdale is still pending. Should the application to
Government fora loan be successful, it will be necessary
for the proprietors in arrear to pay up 20,0001. to reach
the position of having one halt the capital paid up; and
as the good arrears excecd 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
directcrs 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
accounts to the 31st of January show that 230,009/. had
been received, and 229,275/. expended, leaving a balance
of 7301.
