Although the supply of Beasts on sale was limited, this
Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at barely, but at nothi
quotable beneath, Monday's prices. Scarcely a single hea
of foreign Beast or Sheep was brought forward. The "Ini
bers of Sheep being again very small, the inquiry for thss
description of stock was firm, at extreme currencies. Clo
were in short, supply and fair request, at late prices,
Pork trade was active, and the quotations were Well 51
ported. Milch Cows sold heavily, at from 161 to 191 each'
including their small calf.

GREAT PARIS AND LYONS 1
WAY COMPANY MEETING.—(THIS
A special general meeting of the English sharehcboi
in the Great Paris and Lyons Railway CompaliP„tr
held this afternoon at the London Tavern, Bisholtioll
street, for the purpose of sanctioning the amalgams the
with the constituted French Company, and to confirwel
proceedings adopted by the English Company for sc
plishing that object. ~sit•
Mr. Alderman COPELAND, M.P., occupied the ceProi
and in opening the business of the meeting, nbs Wel
that he had very little to say upon the se but
for which they had been called togethert..s re
he could not, in the first place, avoid expressing °I
gret at the unavoidable absence of many of his colleele
who had taken an active part in their late proce sod
To those gentlemen, including his friends Mr. 61135-ltbel
Captain Chamier, their co• directors in France, 'tiol
owed a deep debt of gratitude fcr the time and 0010
they had devoted to the interests of the Company. to
reference to Captain Chamier, he asked the meetleit
join with him in tendering to that gentleman, de
best thanks for the zeal and energy he had the
voted to their service ; and he might, at eV
same time, be allowed to observe that Captain f
mier had exhibited another ,exemplificatloa °eotto,
old rule, that a British sailor, when he intern,
himself in a matter of business, it rarely "Niel
that that business failed. He had cause to congrB.,
them upon the issue of this undertaking ; but it 'ln the
be idle in him to take them back to the time wilt-0e
Company was first projected, and the opposition pe
with during the panic of October, November, 8%00
comber ; but he must remind them of the fact,
,t",o'
one time a large body of the shareholders sent In „IV
quisition, urging the abandonment of the schel33fie 14;
gether. They, however, felt it was an unreasonsu
quest, having advanced, as they had done, so ff//.:coliP;
they thought it was worth the effort to try if they ot;
not bring the matter through. He was happy to IP,
had no cause- to regret this step, and a successflui,4
of the old companies had been brought about.
terms of this fusion there were to be 38,835 shares
United Companies to which the Paris and Lyons 8'
had had been adjudicated, apportioned to the Aio
Paris and Lyons Company. This number, I'oo
amongst 400,000 shares, would give about 91 Per ,60
or rather less than one share in ten ; but, by 0,1',,g1r,
able sacrifice and exertions on the part of the P;', ow,
Directors, the English Shareholders would reee',.; 0041
share in the Constituted Company for every ten,, le]
held in the Paris and Lyons Company. This w 55,1,,
amount of shares than it was originally contelk,i
they should take ; but the Directors, after roatur°o4l
beration, did not think it worth while to quarrel ffo°_,
fractions, and therefore they had made a sacrifieied,ol,
their own shares of about 3- 1 6ths. He should B'l.o
after this sacrifice, the interest on the depvs beit:
not cover the expenses the Directors ha'
put to ; but they were quite satisfied te,ol',i
this matter in the hands of the Shareholders. It y'd Or,
just to his colleagues to add, that they had devote
time and attention to the interests of the Comp
tuitously. It only remained for him to recto° or,‘,
Shareholders to lose no time in sending in theirodro
receipts, to have them exchanged for ot',er
receive back the surplus depisits ; but it was o°'
;
power to state when the exchange would be 1228 ,00
be could assure them, it would be done as ,4
possible.

Mr. LANSFIELD expressed himself perfectly Vihoddri,
with the statement of the Chairman, and be '0001;i
there could be but one feeling prevailing at that tido
and that was that the Shareholders were deeplyet
to the Directors for the trouble they had been rpfe
and he, for one, hoped they would be amply r. og
rated. 0

Mr. LEVY agreed with the Hon, Proprietor -01e1
Directors ought to be remunerated, and he o°s 111"
glad to know from the Chairman what arnetl"
would expect.

The CHAIRMAN said that that would be 'hilt.}
tirely in the hands of the Shareholders ;
begged to remind them that they (the Direct,' d
sacrificed three-sixteenths of their own shares, Direct,'
might that the great body of the Shareholders 1"
share in the newly-constituted Company for el
they held in the Great Paris and Lyons.

Mr. SHALE took that opportunity of espre- 0
satisfaction he felt in having opposed the wisile°faseici,,le)
shareholders, and upon his own responsibility Oa toi
