Mr. HOLT stated that it was the wish of Mr. English
to explain away an injury that he had unintentionally
inflicted, some time ago, on Alderman Wood.
Mr. ENGLISH said that he had nothing to retract,
but something to explain. It had been re-
ported, he knew, in particular quarters, that as
far as himself and Mr. Alderman Wood were con-
cerned, a compromise had taken place between
them. He begged most unequivocally to state
that such a report was totally without foundation—that
he had not seen Mr. Alderman Wood since the statement
he made some time ago till yesterday, and that no com-
munications had passed between them.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Holz was delighted to see the Livery adopting
the course they were now pursuing.—(Cheers.) They
were showing to the world and their fellow-citizens that
they were alive to their rights, that they were deter-
mined to show their abhorrence of injustice, and give to
I Alderman Wood the only reward in their power—the
high post of the chief magistrate of the first city in the
world.—(Cheers.)
The Hall was then adjourned till to-morrow morning
at nine o'clock.

ARMAGH, COLERAINE, and PORT-

RUSH RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
A meeting of the shareholders was held to-day, at the
London Tavern, at the instance of five of the scrip-
holders, to determine on the propriety of dissolving the
Company. Mr. Griffin C. Galt was called to the chair.
The SECRETARY read the requisition of the scrip-
holders and the advertisement convening the meeting.
Mr. CREED wished to know why this meeting had
not been called prior to that which was convened to de
termine on amalgamation with another company ?
The CHAIRMAN said, because the requisition calling
this meeting had not been sent in before that.
Messrs. James Stride, William Palmer, and Thomas
Culverwell were appointed scrutineers.
The SECRETARY then read a report from the directors
of the affairs of the company since the date of the last
meeting. It stated that, in January of the present year,
an amalgamation with the Dublin, Coleraine, and Belfast
Company was resolved on, and such parts selected from
both lines as, in the opinion of the best authorities,
would make a good line ; and the directors were of
opinion that, but for the state of the money market, it
would have perfectly satisfied the whole of the shareholders.
They had at once complied with the requisition, and
called this meeting, and were resolved to remain neutral,
that the shareholders alone might determine the ques-
tion of dissolution. If the result of this meeting should
be the dissolution of the company, then the directors
were prepared to return the money of the shareholders,
less the expenses as settled by the deed of
agreement. If, however, it should be resolved
to go on, then the company would either go to Parlia-
ment during the coming session for a line between
Armagh and Portrush, or they would endeavour to effect
an arrangement with the Dublin, Coleraine, and Belfast
Company for the exchange of scrip. To do the former
would be most; ruinous, and the change of scrip with
the other company, if it could be effected, wasathe most
rational course which they could adopt.
Mr. WATT, Queen's Proctor for Ireland, thought it
monstrous folly to go to Parliament for a line from Ar-
magh to Portrush. As a representative of 6,000 shares,
ha had come to London to vote against a dissolution of
the company. An Act had been granted to the Dublin,
Coleraine, and Belfast Company, for a line along the
same route, which was a good line, and one that would
pay, moved that the company be not dissolved.
Mr. E. FAULKNER seconded the motion.

Mr. SCHULTZ thought that Mr. Watt was out of order
in moving this other than as an amendment. He moved
that this company be dissolved.
Mr. CREED, in seconding the motion, complained of
the conduct of the directors and secretary, and asked if
'the chairman would lay a financial statement before
the meeting ?
The CHAIRMAN said that question was not before this
meeting ; they had met only to determine whether this
company should be dissolved. He then put the questions
to the meeting, and the shareholders proceeded to the
vote ; the result was—
For dissolution....
Against it 9,965
Mv'-sritv d"-gol •

_ajority flgains, --8,305
The CHAIRMAN said the directors would take this as
a confirmation of the amalgamation of the 28th of August.
A vote of thanks to the Chairman was unanimously
passed, and the meeting separated.
